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.
