Dr. R. Chuck Ways has been practicing chiropractic for over twenty-two years. He was inspired to become a chiropractor at a very young age after witnessing his seven-year-old younger sister suffer a traumatic head injury. It was at this point in his life that he vowed to help as many people return to their pre-injury status and achieve optimal health. In addition to earning his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Life University, Dr. Ways obtained a master’s degree in Exercise Science and he has integrated this knowledge in his Chiropractic practice.

He is proficient in several chiropractic techniques and has practiced in many states including Georgia, Kentucky and Florida. For over thirty years, Dr. Ways has treated amateur, collegiate and professional athletes. He states that he is fascinated by the efficiency, function and action of the human body as well as its ability to produce the proper firing sequence aiding in maximum muscle performance.

As Dr. Ways is a firm believer that we should lift as we climb, he strives to provide justice for his patients as he is an expert witness in his field, testifying in jury trials. Additionally, he has provided multiple internships for students aspiring to become chiropractors or rehab specialists; many of which are now practicing in the field.

His passion for educating the community can be seen throughout the duration of his career as he has mentored children of all ages and continues to be a consistent healthcare advocate for his community. Dr. Ways has volunteered his time and efforts participating in numerous health wellness fairs and forums for churches, local businesses, community centers and on the campuses of Florida A&M University, Florida State University and Tallahassee Community College. He strives to positively impact others as he organizes and hosts annual back to school drives and turkey drives during the holiday season.

Formerly, Dr. Ways received a track and field scholarship to Mississippi State University and was an indoor and outdoor All-SEC High Jumper and an indoor and outdoor NCAA High Jump Qualifier. He enjoys coaching youth track and field, kickboxing, fishing, hunting, working out and spending time with his wife Cathy of 30+ years and his four children and granddaughter.
