Meet the Team
Dr. Garrett Paulson
Dr. Paulson is a second-generation chiropractor who’s been getting adjusted since he was a child! He and his brother grew up under the care of their dad, learning early on that the body is naturally smart and built to heal itself. In the Paulson household, fevers and sniffles weren’t treated like enemies, but like signs that the body was doing exactly what it was supposed to do. That mindset shaped Dr. Paulson’s passion for helping families trust their bodies and thrive—starting from day one.
He went on to attend the University of Dayton, where he met his future wife, Caroline. His journey to chiropractic began during college when he worked in his father's practice and witnessed patients experiencing significant improvements through chiropractic care. His passion deepened while working at a pediatric chiropractic clinic in Marietta, GA, throughout school, where he observed remarkable changes in infants and pregnant mothers through nervous system-focused care.
Today, Dr. Paulson focuses on educating and empowering families on regular nervous system checks and chiropractic adjustments for children as part of a preventative approach to healthcare. Especially for children who experienced stressful deliveries such as C-section, forceps, and vacuum extraction. He is also passionate about supporting mothers through pregnancy and their birth experiences through nervous system-focused chiropractic.

Caroline Paulson, DPT
Caroline Paulson brings unique perspective as both a pediatric physical therapist and co-owner of our practice. As an identical triplet who suffered from persistent headaches for years, Caroline discovered the difference chiropractic care can make after meeting Dr. Paulson in college.
Today, Caroline receives consistent care to prevent headaches and optimize her nervous system. Her personal experience under chiropractic care, combined with her professional expertise in pediatric physical therapy, allows her to connect with patients while creating a welcoming environment where others can experience the same remarkable results that she experienced.

Gina Carpenter
Gina Carpenter is a native Tennessean, born and raised in Memphis. In 2001, she moved to Sumner County to start a family. In addition to raising three beautiful daughters, she’s spent the last 24 years staying connected in the community. From PTO President to political campaign staffer to antique vendor, Gina was always looking for opportunities to be involved in unique and meaningful ways.
As the reality of becoming an empty nester set in, she prayed for just the right opportunity to present itself for this next chapter. When she found Connected Kids Chiropractic, she was immediately drawn to Dr. Paulson’s and Caroline’s passion for holistic preventative care for mothers and children. Gina couldn’t be more thrilled about joining our team, and is excited to warmly welcome and connect with our patients each day.
