About Dr. Blake Wayson

Hello, my name is Blake Wayson and I grew up right here in the Cedar Valley. I attended Luther College receiving a degree in Biology. I went on after Luther to attend the birthplace and fountainhead of Chiropractic, Palmer College in Davenport. We as Iowans are very lucky to have such a great school and the birthplace of the Chiropractic profession here in our own backyard.

While attending Luther I played on the football team. One day during practice I got hit awkwardly in the head and felt tightness in my neck, things just didn’t feel right. I knew a few other players on the team had been seeing a local Chiropractor and had success, so I thought I would give it a try. Although I had never been to a Chiropractor and really knew nothing about it, I was
excited at the prospect of feeling better. I soon learned that Chiropractic is more than just low back pain, it involves the entire body, and its benefits are far-reaching. After learning more about Chiropractic, and experiencing great results, I decided to make Chiropractic my life’s ambition. I saw how well the body responded to Chiropractic adjustments and how it greatly affected peoples health and overall well-being.

Of course, I couldn’t keep this newfound passion to myself, I had to share it with others. Soon after I began getting adjustments, my future wife, Jennifer, started getting adjusted. It was amazing, the low back pain she had experienced since a softball collision in high school was gone. I always had very bad allergies growing up and would get sinus infections two or three times a year, now I haven’t had a single one in years! It has been nearly 10 years since those first few adjustments and both of us continue to lead drug-free, pain-free, and healthy lives. I could go on and on with amazing stories from my family and friends, Chiropractic has truly been a blessing in our lives.

We look forward to bringing these same benefits to you and your family.
