About

Dr. Clay Baker was raised in Tryon, NC, where he grew up in a chiropractic family 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. 2021 Dr. Clay took over the practice and converted it to AlignLife Tryon. Today, he’s expanded 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.
