Meet Dr. Sara Nelson-Gray
A Wisconsin native, her passion for serving people and seeing them flourish stemmed from her own personal experiences. At 10 she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, by 11 had her first surgery, and as a senior in high school, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Despite her health struggles, she went on to play college basketball in South Carolina and Wisconsin as a gifted athlete. Then received her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point and her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer Chiropractic School in Davenport, Iowa in 2011.
While in chiropractic school, Dr. Sara learned about the body’s ability and potential to heal itself. Since receiving chiropractic care, she has been able to stop taking medications she had taken for 14 years, and has not experienced side effects. This sparked her desire to provide hope and answers to moms, parents, and children who are having their own health struggles. She practiced in a local office in Knoxville for four years before realizing her vision to serve the community in a greater capacity. As a result, Freedom Chiropractic was born. Dr. Sara is certified in Webster’s Technique and Pediatric and Family Chiropractic.
Outside of work, you can find her laughing and enjoying time with her husband, Nolan, soaking up the sun on a pontoon, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with her dogs and her horse – Rory, Blue and Whinny.
Meet Dr. Bridgette Orr
Originally from Philadelphia, PA, Dr. Bridgette always had a passion for a healthier lifestyle. When she was 14, her mother introduced her to a chiropractor due to pain in her upper back from playing soccer. After starting care, she was able to continue on to play in college. She’s wanted to be a chiropractor ever since. Dr. Bridgette received a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at Liberty University. In September of 2017, she received her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, GA.
