Meet the Doctor
Dr. Meadow Carraway
Hi, I’m Dr. Meadow, chiropractor and founder of Gentle Beginnings Family Chiropractic.
My journey into chiropractic began while spending time in my own chiropractor’s office, where I quickly learned that chiropractic care is about so much more than relieving low back pain. I witnessed firsthand how gentle, specific chiropractic care could support entire families — helping to regulate the nervous system, decrease stress, improve movement, support breastfeeding, reduce headaches, and ultimately help people show up as better versions of themselves for those they love.
What truly inspired me were the stories. I saw babies improve their latch, kids gain confidence and mobility, and families experience meaningful changes simply by prioritizing their health. I even watched relationships grow stronger as people learned to care for themselves so they could better care for each other. Those moments made it clear to me that this was the work I was meant to do.
I have a special passion for caring for pregnant moms, babies, children, and families. What fills my cup the most is watching families come in not only to feel better physically, but to be better for one another. I love seeing the changes that can happen in kids and babies, watching little bodies relax, and celebrating milestones that families may have been told might never be possible. I also deeply value empowering parents to take control of their nervous system health so they can feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident in their role as caregivers.
My care style is gentle, specific, intentional, family-centered, and educational. I take the time to listen, answer questions, and ensure every patient feels heard and understood. I want every person who walks through our doors to feel safe, welcomed, and empowered — knowing this is a space where their concerns matter and where they are not alone. I see myself not only as your provider, but as your advocate.
The name Gentle Beginnings reflects my belief that every day offers a new beginning. Whether you are new to chiropractic care, navigating pregnancy, welcoming a baby, or supporting your growing family, this practice is meant to support you with gentle, personalized care in a calming environment.
I grew up right here in Columbia, South Carolina, earned my degree in Exercise Science from the University of South Carolina, and graduated from Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, SC. Outside the office, I enjoy reading, cooking, exploring new places, spending time in the mountains, and relaxing with my fiancé, Josh, and our cat, Miso.
My hope is that every family who leaves their first visit feels hopeful, heard, safe, and confident in trusting me with their care. I am so honored to walk alongside families during these important seasons of life, and I can’t wait to meet you.
