The Joint Chiropractic - 7th Street & Glendale

Dr. Stephanie Clay was raised in Houston, Texas. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Dietetics and Nursing Science from University of Alaska Anchorage and later earned her Doctor’s of Chiropractic Degree from Texas Chiropractic College in 2001. She says the best part about working in the chiropractic field is, “facilitating health in people and there is always something new to learn in the realm of health.” Dr. Clay began working at The Joint Chiropractic in 2022.

When Dr. Clay is not working she enjoys reading, teaching, watching/doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, watching MMA, and being involved with her children and grandchildren. Her spouse, John, works on the north slope of Alaska in the arctic oilfield. She has 10 kids, 2 lizards, and one cate. She says she knew Chiropractic was her calling, “after having my 4th child, I went to ride my bicycle and threw my lumbar, pelvis all out. I spent the next 3 months getting put back together. I was in the process of a divorce and while I had just finished my bachelor's degree in dietetics, I was going to need to make more money. So, I decided to go back to school. The decision was whether to do medical, chiropractic, or osteopathic school. Medical did not fit with my personal life philosophy. Osteopathic had sold out to the medical paradigm, for the most part, so the one that fit the best was chiropractic. Through the process of getting my DC, I had the necessity of using herbal and homeopathic therapies to facilitate healing infections that allopathic treatments failed to heal. So, when I was finished with my DC, I immediately began working towards my DABCI.”

One thing Dr. Clay must always have in the fridge is coconut milk, it’s the basis of most things she cooks! She says the coolest thing she was ever done was raised a water buffalo. She says they are a, “Unique animal that I dearly love and miss having. Have the milk closest to human milk. Easily digestible.”
