InDo InSiders: Dr. Shayan Ghaffari - Fine-Tuning Care for Nashville’s Creative Community
For chiropractor Dr. Shayan Ghaffari, healing is as much about listening to his patients’ stories as it is about applying his clinical skills. As part of The FineTune Clinic at InDo Nashville, Dr. Shayan focuses on treating the music community and other creatives, offering personalized care that goes far beyond the adjustment table.
A Personalized Approach to Chiropractic Care
Dr. Shayan Ghaffari, who joined the practice in August 2023, brings a unique, patient-centered approach that blends cutting-edge techniques with a deep focus on education and empowerment.
“During the initial exam, I’m looking for clues in a person’s lifestyle that might contribute to their discomfort,” he explains. “From there, I create a unique plan that may include habitual changes, targeted exercises, and tools they can use outside the office to manage flare-ups or discomfort.”
Specializing in Fascial Manipulation (FM)—a soft tissue technique designed to improve muscle activation and reduce nerve irritation—Dr. Shayan addresses the whole body, not just the site of pain. This approach helps clients recover faster, enhance performance, and prevent future injuries.
Discovering InDo
Shayan first learned about InDo through his colleague, Dr. Charlie Kautz, founder of The Finetune Clinic. After shadowing Dr. Kautz during his last term of school, he stepped into the InDo community and immediately knew it was the right fit.
“The first time I walked into the office, I was just taking it all in—it was so unique. I couldn’t imagine a chiropractic office being in a space like this. I’m very happy to be a part of the community.”
A Creative and Supportive Environment
For Dr. Shayan, the heart of InDo is its people.
“My favorite part of InDo is definitely the community. From the bohemian décor to the diverse tenants who work here, it’s like a melting pot of culture—a true hidden gem in downtown Nashville.”
He notes that owner John Richardson is deeply invested in making the space warm and inviting—whether planting flowers, repainting walls, or even grabbing a chainsaw to clear parking lot branches.
“You can tell how much John cares for the space. It truly gives it a homey vibe.”
A Space That Helps Patients Feel at Ease
Being part of InDo Nashville has influenced The Finetune Clinic in ways Dr. Shayan didn’t expect. For a healthcare provider, environment matters. The welcoming vibe at InDo helps put patients at ease from the moment they walk in.
“Going to any healthcare practitioner can be daunting. But here, you’re greeted by unique artwork and a warm energy that’s the opposite of a cold, clinical office. It makes a big difference.”
The mix of creative businesses— podcast recording studios, a marketing firm, a TV network, tech companies, non-profits, and a guitar company—also aligns perfectly with the musicians and artists he often treats. Being surrounded by artists and entrepreneurs at InDo Nashville creates natural networking and referral opportunities.
“It’s amazing how often a patient will finish their appointment and run into someone they know in the lobby. InDo is so connected to the Nashville community.”
Why InDo is a No-Brainer for Entrepreneurs
Dr. Shayan is quick to recommend InDo Nashville to other entrepreneurs looking for a workspace that inspires and supports growth. The prime location near downtown makes it easy for clients to reach, and the free parking—a rare perk in Nashville—is a game-changer for busy professionals.
But it’s more than just location. InDo offers 24-hour key fob access, fresh coffee daily, and a variety of work settings, from private offices to cozy common areas that encourage collaboration and conversation. Need a change of scenery? There are plenty of spots to take a meeting, grab lunch, or brainstorm your next big project.
Then there’s the event space in the back, complete with a bar and stage, which adds another layer of opportunity. For Dr. Shayan, this means being part of marquee events like AmericanaFest and connecting with artists, producers, and industry pros who naturally filter into his network.
“You’re not going to find another space like this one. From the vibe to the amenities, InDo is unmatched in Nashville,” Dr. Shayan says.
