Dr. Heather Whittle Davis is a 1998 Graduate of Life University’s School of Chiropractic,
graduating with honors. While studying to become a Chiropractor, she was blessed with
the birth of her daughter, Katie. She received Chiropractic Adjustments throughout
her pregnancy and was amazed by how much it helped her. She was particularly amazed
and thankful for the Webster’s adjustment which was successful in relieving a condition
known as in utero constraint and allowed her breech baby to move into the proper head
down position for birth. After her daughter’s birth, Katie began receiving Chiropractic
Care. Dr. Heather had the opportunity to personally experience that her child seemed
to be healthier than the other children her age. “She just didn’t get sick as often
as other children her age”. As a result of her positive experience, Dr. Davis was
motivated to attend post-graduate programs expanding her knowledge of working with
expectant mothers and infants. This advanced training, together with her foundation
in caring for adults, prepared her to work with entire families. By providing corrective
and wellness Chiropractic Care in a supportive, caring environment, she has helped
hundreds of families experience optimum health.
Dr. Davis is certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association in pediatric adjusting techniques as well as The Webster’s In-Utero Constraint Technique. In 2007, she completed the extremity adjusting certification through The Chiropractic Council on Extremity Adjusting which gave her additional knowledge in working with sports injuries.
