At AlignLife Tryon, Dr. Clay Baker & Dr. Ben McBurney 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 was raised in Tryon, NC, and grew up as a “chiropractic kid,” receiving his first adjustment just moments after birth. Chiropractic care runs in the family, as his father is also a chiropractor! Dr. Baker earned his doctorate in Chiropractic from Logan University, along with degrees in Human Biology from Logan and Biology from Appalachian State University. With his extensive training and personal experience, Dr. Baker is well-equipped to guide you toward true, lasting health.
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.
Dr. Ben is all about helping people reach their best health and well-being! Growing up in Oakland, Illinois—a tiny town of 900 people—he always knew he wanted to make a positive impact on others’ lives.
Before diving into the world of chiropractic care, Dr. Ben served six years in the U.S. Navy as a Naval Aircrewman (AWS), with two deployments to Bahrain under his belt. After his service, he earned a Bachelor of General Studies with a minor in Biology from Eastern Illinois University, then headed to Sherman College of Chiropractic, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude.
What really inspired Dr. Ben to become a chiropractor was a local practitioner in Virginia Beach, VA, who introduced him to the “Big Idea” of chiropractic. This philosophy, which focuses on adjusting vertebral subluxations to boost nerve communication and overall health, struck a chord with him. Now at Alignlife Tryon, Dr. Ben is on a mission to empower his patients to recognize their potential and live healthier, happier lives. His focus on pediatric and family chiropractic comes as no suprrise either. He truly believes in the incredible healing abilities that each person has within them and the incredible benefits chiropractic care and good spine health bring to people of all ages, especially kids!
When he’s not at the office, you’ll find Dr. Ben spending quality time with his wife and their adorable daughter. They love exploring new downtown areas, discovering cozy coffee shops, and taking family strolls. He’s also a big fan of swing and blues dancing and is actively involved in his church, Joshua Generation Upstate in Boiling Springs.

No. X-rays are not mandatory at our AlignLife center unless your chiropractor requests one due to something that was found during your examination.
