Dr. Ray comes to us from Indianola Iowa. After years of playing football Ray developed shoulder pain and his doctors wanted to perform major, life altering surgery. Because he wanted more conservative treatment he turned to chiropractic care for help. Not only did the chiropractic care relieve his pain, it fixed his shoulder to the point that he didn’t need surgery.

After high school he pursued his passion of helping other athletes by attending Upper Iowa University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in athletic training and eventually a master’s degree in sports management from Wayne State College. While at Wayne State, he was hired as the staff athletic trainer for both the football and track & field teams. However, he still felt a pull towards chiropractic so he went back to school and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa graduating with honors and receiving research honors for his extensive work to better the chiropractic education experience. In addition to his Doctor of Chiropractic degree he’s also a certified athletic trainer through the National Athletic Trainers’ Association.

Even though Dr. Ray is more than qualified to treat any Chiropractic condition when asked what he prefers he states, “I love taking care of athletes, especially the younger athlete and not just spinal conditions but also shoulder, ankle and knee problems.”

Dr. Ray is excited to be an active member of the Bowling Green community. He has many hobbies but he particularly enjoys reading, watching sports and weight lifting.
