Dr. Bethaney L. Allison was born and raised in Tazewell, Virginia. She completed her undergraduate education at Virginia Tech where she received a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology. She moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina in 2010 to pursue her education in chiropractic. In 2013, she earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, South Carolina. After receiving her National Board certification and state licensure in July of 2013, she began practicing in Greenville, South Carolina.
Dr. Bethaney started her chiropractic career with The Joint in 2013 and in 2015 took some time off to explore other options in chiropractic care. After a little over a year of soul searching she returned to The Joint because the philosophy and values of The Joint were exactly what she believed about chiropractic care. Dr. Bethaney became a chiropractor in hopes to improve people’s quality of life and she strongly believes the best way to do that is through routine and affordable chiropractic care.
Whether she’s cruising the streets of the Carolinas on her motorcycle or riding four-wheelers in the mountains of Virginia, Dr. Bethaney enjoys the great outdoors and motorsports. She fell in love with all the great state of South Carolina has to offer and while she may be a Virginia girl born and raised, she’s a Carolina girl at heart.
Dr. Clarence “Clay” Taylor -- You can call him Clay or Dr. Clay if you’d like -- joined The Joint Chiropractic family of healthcare providers in 2019. He received his doctorate of chiropractic from Life University
“The thing I like best about being in the chiropractic field is that I get to help people be better than they thought possible,” Dr. Clay says. “I’ve achieved my lifelong dream since I was 12 years old.
He enjoys biking, weight training, and reading alongside his pit bull Jenny and poodle Loki in his spare time.
Dr. Clay’s first-hand experience with a chiropractor led him down the chiropractic path.
“When I was 12, I was an injured gymnast,” he says. “I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t breathe without pain. A chiropractor fixed me.”
As a native of Anderson, Dr. Clay’s favorite thing about working in his hometown clinic is pretty obvious: “I get to work in the community that raised me.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Clay says the one thing he must have in his refrigerator “is gluten-free chicken tenders. I make the best chicken sandwiches.”
If he could invite any four people to the dinner party of his dreams, he would include “The Rock,” Dwayne Johnson, as well as self-help guru Tony Robbins, actor Tom Hanks, and physicist Albert Einstein.
“They are all major influencers,” Dr. Clay says, “and I probably wouldn’t have to pay for my tab.”
The coolest thing he has ever done was to go skydiving. “Words fall short of the feeling of falling for thousands of feet,” he says.
Dr. Justin Schutrumpf -- it’s OK to call him Dr. Justin -- joined The Joint Chiropractic family of healthcare providers in 2019 as a doctor in the Spartanburg location, but he has been a patient since 2007. A graduate of Metropolitan State University Denver with a degree in biology, he got his doctorate of chiropractic from Life University.
“The thing I like best about being in chiropractic is helping folks crush life,” he says. “I love helping people when they are told they have no other options.”
Dr. Justin was raised in Boulder, Colo., at the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountains. He worked in Atlanta before landing in Spartanburg.
He and his wife, who is the daughter of a chiropractor, have two daughters, along with a dog named Charlotte and a cat named Callie. In his spare time, Dr. Justin says he enjoys rucking, fitness, eating barbecue, grilling, cycling, doing DIY projects, “raising warrior princesses and taking my wife out on a hot date.”
He says he knew chiropractic was the right choice for him when he was jealous of a friend whose father was Dr. Justin’s first chiropractor. “It was when my best friend decided to go to school and follow his father’s footsteps and I was jealous,” he says. “But instead, we both chased our dreams.”
“I love working here,” Dr. Justin says. “I love being able to help people providing high quality chiropractic care while working for an honest company that takes great care of its employees.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Justin says the staples of his life are always stocked in his refrigerator: “Meats, hot sauce, eggs and cheese.”
If he could bring together any four people from history together for the dinner party of his dreams, Dr. Justin would include retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, cartoon scientist Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, artist Jim Winters, and Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee.
The coolest thing Dr. Justin has done was participate in more than a dozen GORUCK endurance events -- of 6,12, 24 and 48 hours -- “learning teamwork with special forces veterans and building bonds with awesome people.”
Dr. Melanie Beach became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2021 when she began serving residents in the Greenville region, where she continues doing the work she finds so rewarding.
“I love the way the chiropractic field focuses on preventative medicine, allowing me to educate and help others to live a truly healthy lifestyle,” she says. “My second-favorite thing about getting to be a chiropractor is to see the change in someone’s whole being as they transform from someone inhabited by pain to someone with health and freedom to pursue what they enjoy.
“It is so gratifying to see patients come in with pain that they did not think they could tolerate and, through consistent care, be able to find relief and live their lives to the fullest.”
A product of the Southern California coast, the aptly named Dr. Beach worked previously in Santa Barbara, Calif., and Albuquerque, N.M.
She and her husband, Bennett, enjoy spending time in nature with their Carolina dog, Sadie, doing active things like biking, hiking, and watersports.
She attended Palmer College of Chiropractic, where she earned her doctorate as well as a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
“When I was 15, I experienced a particularly painful swim season,” Dr. Beach says. “As the season progressed and my pain worsened, more and more areas of my life were taking a toll due to the pain. My parents took me to a chiropractor who discovered I had scoliosis. After three months of regular care and exercises, I reduced the curve to the point of it no longer being considered scoliosis, but better yet, I felt like I had been given my life back. I knew I always wanted to help people when I grew up, but this experience with chiropractic care solidified my decision on how I would help people. I was going to be a chiropractor when I grew up and I’ve never looked back.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Beach has been backpacking on the Havasupai Indian Reservation in the Grand Canyon, one of the coolest experiences of her life.
If she could bring together any four people from history for her ideal dinner party, she would include the Dalai Lama, South African president Nelson Mandela, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and actress/playwright Danai Gurira. “These people are some of the greatest minds in championing for the people,” Dr. Beach says. “What they each stand for is what I try to embody each day.”
The book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been a big part of Dr. Beach’s life since childhood. “It taught me about bravery and courage, about standing up for others, and at the end of the day always be true to yourself,” she says. “I have loved this book so much for so long that I have a Deathly Hallows tattoo on my foot,”
Dr. Gregory N. Dixon became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2021 when he began serving residents in the Spartanburg area, where he continues doing the work he finds so gratifying.
“I enjoy working with, and helping, people who are in need of help,” he says.
Dr. Greg, as he is known to patients, is a product of Missouri, where his father was a chiropractor; holistic health was “a huge part” of his life while growing up. He worked previously in Ninety Six, S.C.
When he’s not with Sully, his German shepherd, he enjoys yoga and jogging.
He earned his doctorate of chiropractic from Cleveland University-Kansas City. It was no surprise that he became a chiropractor. “My father was a chiropractor and I learned at an early age the importance of chiropractic care,” he says. He remembers a particularly profound story of his experience: “A lady who was having difficulty conceiving came in for treatment and, after about three months, she came back and was expecting.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Greg says the one thing he always has stocked in his refrigerator is cold water: “It keeps you hydrated, and water’s what the body consists of.”
If he could bring together any four people to the table, Dr. Greg would sit down with Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “They were all considered very principled people in their beliefs, and as chiropractors, we are very principled in our beliefs,” he says.
A book that provided Dr. Greg a powerful personal message was The Power and Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton. “It proved to me the power of the mind and how you can overcome anything,” he says.
If he could give advice to anyone, it would be the same that came from his parents: Always remain honest and humble. “It will take you a long way in life,” Dr. Greg says, “and you won’t go wrong.”
