About Ascend Health
The idea of Ascend Health was founded over a decade ago, after hearing many patients and colleagues discuss the massive divide that stood between conservative care and medical care. While many providers aim to separate the two, we aim to do the opposite, and allow a place where we can meet all of your needs under one roof. The body has an innate ability to heal itself, and our goal is to equip it to do exactly that, but in the case traditional medical care is needed, we want to provide you with that opportunity as well.
At Ascend Health, you get the best of both worlds: a clinic that genuinely cares about its patients and sees the people underneath the conditions. We want to get you back to your full potential as quickly as possible.
What makes us different?
Evidence-Based Chiropractic
Unlike most chiropractors who will emphasize long-term treatment plans, our goal is to help you achieve a pain-free and active life as quickly as possible.
Whole-Patient Approach
We know chiropractic isn’t for everyone. if that happens to be your case, we will work with our medical network to find a place where you can continue your journey to health.
Affordability
We believe that quality care should be accessible for everyone,regardless of insurance or budget. Our goal is to set our prices at a place that is comfortable for you, so you can get the care you need when you need it.
Ascend Health is a proud member and ambassador of the Bartlett Chamber of Commerce.

Clinical Chiropractic
Do you wish you could see a chiropractor when you need one, without committing to long-term treatment plan? Whether you’ve had success with chiropractic in the past or you’re just intrigued to see how we can help, we would be happy to meet with you and discuss your wellness goals and build a plan together.
At our Ascend Health clinic in Bartlett, TN, we will make recommendations to help you enhance your performance and reduce pain, while continually re-evaluating your progress and adapting along the way. We also incorporate strength-building and posture-supporting exercises and therapies that focus on relaxing the muscles around the joints, so that we can thoroughly address your discomfort via multiple approaches and maximize your recovery time.
Shane Pugsley’s chiropractic adjustments are gentle and accurate, correcting the most precise misalignment while leaving everything that is pain-free undisturbed.
You can count on us taking your wellness one visit at a time, and including you in the decision-making for every step of your care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can chiropractic help?
How many visits does it typically take to see results?
That answer is different for each patient, but our goal is to get you out of pain in the fewest appointments possible. If you are back on track in only a few appointments, we will consider that a win for all of us. We do not require standardized multi-visit treatment plans.
Do you take X-rays?
No. Very few chiropractic patients actually need X-rays, and an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan can usually be made with a physical exam. We minimize the use of X-rays to protect our patients from exposure to radiation and to reduce the likelihood of incidental findings. That way, we are not chasing a problem we see, rather than the problems you feel. That said, if our physical exam raises any concern whatsoever, we always refer our patients to one of our affiliated imaging centers before proceeding with treatment.
What if chiropractic doesn’t help me?
Sometimes that happens. If chiropractic doesn’t seem to be the right treatment fit for you, we will be the first to refer you to the right specialists to control your pain. We do not believe any patient should live with chronic pain, and we will not stop working with you we get you feeling better, even if we are not the ones to get you there.
What ages do you work with?
Any age! I’ve worked with every special population, including infants, pregnant women, athletes, and older adults. If you have questions about whether you would be a good fit for our treatment, send us an email at ascendhealth901@gmail.com.
What is your unique approach to chiropractic?
Where normal chiropractic clinics typically schedule for a number of visits regardless of where you start in your wellness journey, at Ascend Health we like to meet you where you are. We will tailor your treatment plan based on where you are when we start, the length of time we truly believe that it will take, and our experience treating similar conditions. We want you to get out of pain as quickly as possible, and we will always be transparent about how we can help. If by chance we are not able to help, then we will do anything and everything we can to get you to the right specialists. We have built deep relationships in the community that range from orthopedists to pediatricians and everywhere in between. Your health is our number one priority!
