For Dr. Kelsey Everley, finding her calling in chiropractic care was a journey of discovery.
“When I first started in college, I wanted to be an athletic trainer due to my love for sports, then I switched to PT,” she says. “It wasn’t until I was doing an internship with a physical therapist that I realized it wasn’t the field for me. Luckily, I had a neighbor who was a chiropractor. It took only a few minutes in his office to realize that chiropractic was the field for me.”
That decision eventually brought her to Franklin, a place she quickly grew to love.
“I was transferred here while working with a different company, and honestly, my first day on the job was the first time I’d ever set foot in Franklin,” she recalls. “I grew up in rural southern Indiana and have always preferred small-town life. Franklin turned out to be the perfect fit. I might not have chosen Franklin at first, but I truly do love it and the community surrounding it. I hope we can stay here for many years to come.”
At Mayfield Chiropractic, Dr. Everley is passionate about showing patients the full scope of what chiropractic care can do.
“Chiropractic is so much more than ‘back cracking,’” she says. “I treat lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, TMJ disorders, shoulder pain, knee pain and sports injuries. I also do a wide range of soft tissue work, including Graston therapy, cupping, taping and now I offer laser therapy. On top of that, I help patients with posture exercises, sleeping positions and work ergonomics.”
Chiropractic care, she says, is safe and effective for all ages.
“I’ve adjusted babies as young as two to three weeks old — my daughter was adjusted at one day old,” she says. “On the other end of the spectrum, I’ve seen patients in their 90s. It really can help everyone.”
What makes Mayfield stand out, according to Dr. Everley, is the personal touch.
“What truly sets us apart is the way we treat our patients — like family,” she says. “We take the time to listen, understand your needs and tailor treatments that support your overall wellness.”
Looking ahead, she hopes Mayfield Chiropractic continues to grow alongside Franklin.
“We want to be more than just a chiropractic office — we want to be a hub for whole-body health, healing and support,” she says. “I’ve been so grateful for the support I’ve received during my first year here, and I hope the community continues to trust me with their health.”
