We welcome you as our partner in healing, celebrating progress and supporting you towards a healthier, happier life. If you have not been referred to our care by a current member of our patient family and are new, you may schedule a 10-minute phone consultation with Dr. Kousouli to find out if our clinic is the best fit for your needs. Call us at 615-435-3643. Please note that we prioritize patients who are committed to long-term and comprehensive healing, and therefore, we do not accept those seeking immediate quick fixes. True health takes time to bring forth.

We thoroughly screen and assess potential patients, understanding your unique situation, while taking note of past traumas, current lifestyle, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. This allows us to offer effective and personalized care plans where other clinics and therapists fail.

Addressing root causes, we aim for long-lasting healing and optimal wellness, going beyond just symptom and pain management. Dr. Kousouli provides holistic care considering mind, body, and spirit without drugs or surgery, using ancient wisdom in modern ways. While it is important to note that no guarantees can be made in the healing process, following your prescribed care plan provides the best chance for progress and improvement in your health.

In our peaceful nurturing environment, you can freely express concerns, participate in your healing, and influence treatment decisions. We provide tools, ongoing support, and personal guidance for lasting transformation. Your full participation in your healing is key.  Your well-being is our priority, and we strive to provide the highest level of care and support to every individual who seeks our services.

We understand that a first visit with a new clinic can be exciting and perhaps a bit overwhelming, so we wanted to provide you with a clear picture of what you can expect in order to receive an initial new patient exam.

Step one: New Patient Initial Consultation. To apply for care if you were not referred by one of our current patient members, you will begin by setting up a phone consultation time at 615-435-3643. Leave a message with our call center (Available 24/7) and our office will call you during normal business hours to set up a dedicated time for a conversation with Dr. Kousouli about your concerns. At this time consultations are complimentary, but there may be a waiting list. The consultation will last approximately 10 minutes to address all your questions. If your case is accepted and your questions have been answered, you may schedule an examination time with our office. A credit card is required on file to hold your examination time slot. No rescheduling is allowed if less than a 48-hour notice is given. Any last-minute cancellations or reschedules will forfeit your position to be seen at our office.

Step Two: New Patient Initial Examination: Next, on your scheduled exam date and time, you will come into the office and fill out all necessary paperwork. You will go very in depth on your medical history, current concerns, and any specific symptoms or discomfort you may be experiencing. This discussion helps us understand your unique situation and determine the best course of action for your long-term health goals. Once all paperwork is completed, Dr. Kousouli will perform a thorough physical examination, which may include various orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic tests. A surface EMG spinal scan (Electromyography is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates the health condition of muscles and the nerve cells that control them) will be done in office to conclude your examination. These tests help us assess your range of motion, posture, muscle strength, and any areas of misalignment or tension in your spine or other joints. Your full examination visit will last approximately one and a half hours to two hours.

You most likely will need recent x-rays as a blueprint for your care-plan. You will be prescribed x-ray imaging and sent to a nearby imaging center to have the needed imaging done on any day prior to your report of findings visit at our office. We may also require deeper diagnostic imaging, such CAT scans or MRI scans, laboratory testing, etc. to gather more detailed information about your condition. These steps allow us to have a comprehensive understanding of your spinal health and identify any underlying issues that may not be visible during the physical examination. The results from the imaging center(s) and labs will all be sent to our office digitally and you will return for your Report of Findings at our office to receive your report and treatment recommendations.

Step Three: New Patient Report of Findings and Treatment Start Up. You will arrive at the office after your exam when all your results come in from the imaging and lab centers. This is an important day as you will be choosing your treatment plan and charting your course of action in health and wellness with Dr. Kousouli. Based on the information gathered from your consultation, surface EMG, examination, labs, and imaging (if they were necessary), Dr. Kousouli will discuss the findings with you and explain your health from a spinal perspective. This will most likely be the most thorough explanation of your spinal health you have ever gotten from a doctor’s office. He will explain your diagnosis, outline the goals of treatment, and propose a personalized care plan tailored to your needs. This plan may include chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, stretches, lifestyle recommendations, supplementation, breathing work, or meditations and any other appropriate interventions he feels can help you. Your Report of Findings will last approximately one to one and a half hours if you are starting care on the same day.

Step Four: First New Patient Treatment and Continued Patient Education: Dr. Kousouli believes that proper knowledge is empowering. Throughout your initial exam and throughout your care plan, he will take the time to educate you about the principles of The Kousouli® Method, chiropractic, adjustments, applied kinesiology, deep tissue work, herbal medicine, constitutional homeopathy, emotional well-being, hypnotherapy’s potential benefits, and how it can all support your overall health and well-being. We want you to feel informed and actively involved in your own healing process. Treatments are approximately 20 to 40 minutes. Every treatment builds on the next, so never miss a treatment day as this can make your progress slide backwards. Keep your progress up by keeping your care plan active and on schedule. 
Please remember that your comfort and understanding are paramount to us. Feel free to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have at any point during the exam. Our clinic is here to provide you with the highest level of care and support throughout your healing journey. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve optimal spinal health and wellness! Together, we will chart your journey to better health through a comprehensive holistic health program.

New patients that are accepted into our treatment flow can benefit from the Kousouli® Method. The Kousouli® Method is Dr. Kousouli’s specific methodology of helping his patients improve their health naturally for close to 20 years. This method helps patients remove the unnecessary lifestyle stressors, revives their nervous system with chiropractic care, restores their body with proper supplementation and resets their mental perception of what is available to them for health success.  After successful completion of the care plan, the established patient can then dive deeper into their healing with K-NER℠, Regression Hypnotherapy, or Deep Tissue Myofascial work.

Past and current patients would say “Certainly!” While we cannot provide specific guarantees as every case is unique and individual lifestyles vary, the Kousouli® Method has shown success for many individuals. Its holistic approach has helped numerous people achieve positive outcomes and improve their overall well-being. By addressing the interconnected nature of mind, body, and spirit, the Kousouli® Method offers a comprehensive path towards personal growth and healing. Although results will vary, the testimonials and experiences of many individuals who have benefited from the Kousouli® Method demonstrate its potential to positively impact lives. We encourage you to explore and consider the Kousouli® Method as a potential avenue for your own personal growth and transformation along with other services provided by Dr. Kousouli. Video testimonials of other successful patient stories are provided in the testimonials link below. You may phone 615-435-3643 our call center and request the office schedule a phone consultation with Dr. Kousouli to see if your case would be accepted. 

The ideal candidate for Kousouli® Neural Emotive Reprogramming (K-NER℠) is characterized by a combination of traits and qualities that align with the transformative nature of the therapy. These individuals are often:

1. Creative: They possess a creative mindset, allowing them to explore new perspectives and possibilities in their personal growth journey.

2. Inquisitive: They have a natural curiosity and a desire to delve deeper into their own thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior.

3. Soul-Seeking: They are individuals who yearn for a deeper connection with their inner selves and God, seeking meaning and purpose in their lives.

4. Explorative: They embrace exploration and are willing to step outside of their comfort zones to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery.

5. Open-Minded: They approach life with an open mind, receptive to new ideas, alternative perspectives, and unconventional approaches to personal growth.

6. Go-Getter Types: They are motivated and proactive individuals who are committed to taking action and making positive changes in their lives. They are determined to become the best version of themselves. These ideal candidates are driven by the desire to re-create themselves, striving for personal growth, self-improvement, and self-actualization. They are willing to invest the necessary time, financial resources and effort to achieve their goals.

On the other hand, individuals who heavily exhibit negative or cynical attitudes may not be the best candidates for K-NER℠. The therapy requires a certain level of openness and willingness to embrace change. Those who are deeply entrenched in negativity or skepticism may struggle to fully engage with the transformative process and may not experience the desired outcomes. Heavily medicated individuals may also not be candidates for this therapy, as a need to focus and be fully present are both necessary. Individuals who rely on close monitoring by a psychiatrist’s care are not candidates for this therapy. It is important to note that while these descriptions capture common attributes of ideal and non-ideal candidates, each individual is unique, and the suitability for K-NER℠ can vary. A thorough assessment and consultation with Dr. Kousouli can provide further guidance in determining if K-NER℠ is the right fit for an individual’s specific needs and goals.

It is essential to prioritize your health and well-being so we completely understand incoming patients’ desire to switch doctors if not satisfied with their current care… However, we must stress the importance of ethical behavior in this situation. It is not correct to simply ghost another practitioner and abruptly end your care without proper communication and closure. Dr. Kousouli will not take on your case if this is your situation with your previous or current doctor. All healthcare professionals who take on helping patients deserve respect and transparency in their patient relationships. If you genuinely feel that it’s time to change chiropractic doctors, we recommend taking the following steps first:

1. Communicate your decision: Schedule a meeting or have a conversation with your current chiropractic doctor. Openly discuss your concerns and reasons for wanting to make a change. This will allow them to understand your perspective and address any issues that might have contributed to your dissatisfaction.
2.  Complete your care plan: It’s essential to complete your ongoing care plan with your current chiropractic doctor. Leaving in the middle of a treatment without a proper conclusion can negatively impact your health and progress. Sticking to your treatment plan until its intended completion is crucial for your well-being. Your new chiropractor will also want to know what previous care plan and treatments you have completed and why they were not effective, making you seek new care.
3. Consider the legal implications: If you are involved in litigation related to a personal injury case, it is vital to be aware of any contractual or legal obligations with your current chiropractic doctor. Changing doctors during ongoing litigation might have implications and may not be allowed until your case with the current doctor is resolved.
4. Seek a second opinion if needed: If you still feel the need for a change after communicating with your current chiropractic doctor and completing your care plan, you can then seek a second opinion from Dr. Kousouli.

This approach will ensure you are making an informed decision about your health without compromising ethical standards. Remember, the primary goal of any healthcare professional is to provide the best possible care for their patients. You the patient, must be honest and fully communicative with your doctor(s) so they can help you. By following these ethical guidelines, you will ensure a smooth transition while maintaining a good conscience throughout the process.  

This time frame varies depending on your health goals, age, lifestyle, past and current traumas, diagnostic imaging results, examination and dedication to following Dr. Kousouli’s recommendations for you.  The average care plan ranges between three to five months with maintenance plans available afterwards to keep and improve upon your new-found level of health. Patients who conclude their initial care plan are then able to experience other services to further their personal growth.

At our office, we provide a range of safe and non-invasive therapies that are complementary to supportive medical care. It is important to note that while our therapies are designed to promote well-being, they are non-psychiatric and non-medical in nature, and do not involve invasive procedures. This makes them open to benefit by most patients without the use of another practitioner’s referral.

In certain circumstances, prior to participating in regression hypnotherapy, K-NER℠, deep tissue myofascial release or other therapies offered, Dr. Kousouli may request that you obtain a medical evaluation and or be under medical care at the same time. This step ensures that you receive comprehensive care and appropriate guidance throughout your healing journey. For individuals experiencing deep depression or relying heavily on pharmacological treatments, it is crucial to have medical oversight and management. We strongly advise seeking professional medical support alongside any holistic therapies you engage in. Your medical doctor or psychologist is responsible for the administration, dosage management, and removal of your medications. These medications most likely will interfere or alter your course of healing during holistic treatment. This may limit or exclude your case from being seen by Dr. Kousouli.

Our aim is to work collaboratively with your healthcare team to provide a well-rounded approach to your well-being. We believe that combining supportive medical care with holistic therapies can optimize your overall health and ensure comprehensive support throughout your healing process. Please remember that individual circumstances may vary, and it is essential to consult with both your medical provider and Dr. Kousouli to determine the most appropriate course of action for your specific needs. Your well-being and safety are of utmost importance to us, and we are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care in a responsible and holistic manner.

We wish you happy travels and are excited to meet you! We recommend that you consider staying near our Franklin office for your convenience during treatments. A great option within walking distance is The Harpeth Franklin Downtown by Hilton, which is also easily accessible for parking by nearby shops on Main street. This hotel provides a comfortable and convenient lodging experience while you receive care at our office. Both self and valet parking are available at the hotel as well. For those making frequent trips to our clinic from afar, no worries! Yes, you will have a file here once you are accepted as an active patient post exam and report of findings and you can receive therapy when in town. Please note that accounts over 6 months of inactivity will be put on inactive status and will require a new re-examination to update and re-activate your account for therapy.

First and foremost, it is crucial to prioritize your immediate health and well-being. If you are an established patient and have sustained injuries, we recommend seeking care promptly. Dr. Kousouli can provide a thorough evaluation to assess and address any musculoskeletal issues resulting from the accident or work injury.

If you are an established patient, we are committed to helping you navigate this process by providing assistance and resources. We can supply you with reputable lawyers who specialize in personal injury or workers’ compensation cases. These professionals can guide you in understanding your legal rights and help you pursue any necessary claims or compensation.

It is important to note that while we can provide recommendations for legal assistance, we do not directly handle legal matters ourselves. Our primary focus is on providing you with spinal care and supporting your overall well-being during your recovery. Also understand that we do not take cases on liens or delayed payment for service. You may however pay per service and provide your attorney with receipts toward your case for future compensation when your case gets settled.

Private health insurance is a contract between you and the insurance carrier to use their selected providers. Our office is out of network with all insurance companies for four main reasons.  We do not accept their limitations or rules when it comes to helping patients. Know that our priority is always your well-being, and we believe paying cash can offer you certain advantages.

Here are the key reasons why we don’t accept insurance and why paying cash can be beneficial for you:

1. 1. Personalized Attention: Patients appreciate being treated like a person and not a number. Dr. Kousouli can devote more time and resources to your care, ensuring adequate time for questions, concerns, treatment times and a more comprehensive approach tailored to your needs. Doctors who take insurance are limited with their per patient time and clinic resources making patients feel they aren’t properly heard or cared for.

2. 2. Privacy Protection: Paying cash allows for increased confidentiality, ensuring that your personal health information remains secure and minimizes the involvement of third parties like insurance companies who have your personal health information, looking to label you or unjustly raise future premiums.

3. 3. Expanded Treatment Options: Insurance plans often have huge limitations on covered services. Outside insurance you have the freedom to explore a wider range of treatments and therapies, solely based on your health needs, not what a company miles away who doesn’t know you dictates.

4. 4. Cost Transparency: With cash payment, you have a clear understanding of the costs upfront, avoiding unexpected bills that are common with insurance denials leading to surprise bills in the mail.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter. Your trust and comfort are important to us, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

At our office, we have carefully considered our policy regarding family plans or sliding scales. While we understand the desire for affordability and accessibility to healthcare services, we have determined that it is in the best interest of our patients and the quality of care we provide to maintain a consistent pricing structure without these options.

Here are a few reasons for our decision:

1. Fairness: We strive to treat all patients equally, ethically and maintain fairness in our practice. Offering specific discounts or sliding scales may create an imbalance and lead to potential disparities among patients.

2. Sustainability: By maintaining a consistent pricing structure, we can ensure the long-term sustainability of our practice. It allows us to allocate resources efficiently, invest in state-of-the-art equipment, and provide ongoing professional development for our staff.

3. Quality of Care: Our primary focus is providing exceptional healthcare services to all our patients. By adhering to a standard pricing structure, we can allocate the necessary time, attention, and resources to deliver comprehensive care without compromising quality.

4. Transparency: A consistent pricing structure promotes transparency and clarity for our patients. It eliminates confusion and ensures that everyone receives the same level of care and service without any ambiguity.

5. Flexibility in Services: Rather than offering discounted rates or sliding scales, we prioritize the flexibility to provide a wide range of services and treatment options that are tailored to each patient’s unique needs. This approach allows us to offer comprehensive care without compromising on the quality or scope of services provided.

While we understand that individual financial circumstances may vary, we are committed to exploring alternative ways to assist patients, such as offering payment plans, split payments or helping patients find affordable financing. Our ultimate goal is to deliver exceptional healthcare services while maintaining a sustainable practice that can continue to serve our patients effectively in the long run.
