Meet Blake Vickers of Wellness Way Raleigh

Today we’d like to introduce you to Blake Vickers. 

Hi Blake, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’ve played soccer my whole life, and suffered many injuries and concussions. Chiropractic and an anti-inflammatory diet helped me tremendously in my recovery. I was put on many anti-depressants and anxiety medications while going through my concussion rehabilitation and they only seemed to mask the problem. I almost failed out of undergraduate completely because I could not focus and get to class. Once I found Chiropractic and an individualized approach to healing through getting proper lab work done, I was able to start truly healing. I went on to graduate third in my class in chiropractic school while simultaneously completing 300 hours of a clinical neuroscience program and training under The Wellness Way. 

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not been a smooth road! I struggled my way through undergraduate and took some time off of school to decide what I wanted to do with my life while weaning off some medications that were causing more harm than good for me. I decided to take the leap and go to chiropractic school and moved down to Atlanta, Georgia. While I was there, I found functional neurology and lab testing. These were fascinating fields in conjunction with chiropractic because it gave me more tools to help my future patients. I spent 10-12 hours a day learning as much as I possibly could. 

As you know, we’re big fans of Wellness Way Raleigh. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Wellness Way Raleigh is part of a network of health restoration clinics that think and act differently to solve the health challenges that others can’t. We provide an individualized approach to healing. We recognize that every person on this planet is different, so their health care should also be different. I specialize in individualized laboratory testing that dives deep to find the WHY! We know that nearly every disease on the planet is caused by inflammation but what is causing your inflammation? We investigate the root causes of illness so that we can remove them and allow your body to heal. I am also board eligible for a diplomate in functional neurology which will allow me to use neurological rehabilitation in my practice. I want readers to know that even though we have patients come in for similar issues, nobody is ever given the same type of care. It is individualized based on your history, your labs, and your goals for health. 

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
Over the next 5-10 years, I believe that our industry is going to trend in this direction. People are going to be seeking a more individualized approach to health care. Since we continue to develop more illness and disease as a nation, a preventative type of health care will be ideal.
