At AlignLife Tryon, Dr. Clay Baker and their team work with you to set S.M.A.R.T. goals that focus on helping you achieve your best level of health possible. But the path we lay out to get there is how we’re different. While over-the-counter meds, prescriptions, and surgery all have their place, they don’t have to be the first or only option. AlignLife Tryon helps you discover the root cause of your symptoms or condition and correct any issues that could be blocking your body from its innate healing processes.
Often, the underlying cause of many health problems is a subluxation—misalignments in the spine that disrupt the nervous system’s function. By addressing these subluxations, AlignLife Tryon can help you get on the road to recovery and achieve great health. We have helped patients in Tryon, Landrum, and Polk County relieve chronic body aches, headaches, decreased mobility, digestive issues, nutrition deficiencies, sinus problems, stress, and more through our unique, holistic approach.
Living the chiropractic life is about more than adjustments. We focus on a full-body approach that includes nutrition, functional lab testing, stress reduction techniques, and regular chiropractic check-ups to keep you on the path to better health. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain or looking for ways to boost your overall health, workday focus and productivity, or athletic performance, AlignLife Tryon is here to guide you on a journey toward a more active, vibrant life and help you get better results faster. Sound like something you want to learn more about? Then, let’s get started!
Although originally from California, Dr. Clay Baker was raised in Tryon, NC, where he grew up as a true “chiropractic kid,” receiving his first adjustment just moments after birth. Chiropractic care isn’t just his profession though. It’s his family legacy. His father, Dr. James Baker, ran Baker Family Chiropractic for 47 years, with 26 of those years spent serving patients at this very location.
Determined to carry on the family tradition of helping people achieve optimal health, Dr. Clay earned his doctorate in Chiropractic from Logan University, along with degrees in Human Biology (also from Logan University) and Biology (from Appalachian State University). In 2011, he returned to Tryon where he practiced alongside his father at Baker Family Chiropractic. They worked together until 2021, when Dr. Clay took over the practice and converted it to AlignLife Tryon. Today, he’s expand services to provide even more access to chiropractic care and natural health solutions to our community.
In his free time, Dr. Clay loves to be outside, fishing, hiking, and doing yard work. He is also extremely involved in the community, giving to local outreach foundations and churches, supporting Tryon’s town programs and beautification, and educating others on the importance of health and wellness.
