Dr. Michael Davis was born in the United Kingdom to military parents. After moving back to the US, he swam competitively for 11 years for the Old Dominion Aquatic Club under Olympic coach Bill Peak in Virginia. It was during his experience as a competitive athlete that he was first exposed to the healing and performance enhancing benefits of chiropractic. Under chiropractic care, he recovered from a minor accident and experienced an unexpected increase in his athletic performance. Dr. Davis also watched his mother recover from severe back problems once she, too, started seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis. Dr. Davis completed his undergraduate degree at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia, and received a B.S. in Health Promotion and Assessment. When completion of his degree required a practicum, he chose to work with a group of chiropractors in Tidewater, Virginia. It was during this experience that his desire to pursue a career in chiropractic was born. Shortly after he married his wife Christina, the Davis family moved to Marietta, Georgia where Dr. Davis attended chiropractic school at Life University. After graduation in 2004, Dr. Davis, also known to his patients as “Dr. Mike,” ran a successful chiropractic office in the Atlanta area. The Davis family moved to Urbandale, Iowa in support of Christina’s career as a business executive. In May of 2014, Dr. Davis was offered a unique opportunity to enter practice with Dr. Joseph Ferezy at the Ferezy Clinic of Chiropractic and Neurology. Dr. Davis enjoyed the opportunity to deepen his understanding of neurology which allowed him to provide comprehensive patient assessment and care. Dr. Davis purchased the clinic in April of 2015. Firm Foundation Chiropractic is based upon the philosophy that everyone needs an optimally functioning nervous system which is one of the main pillars of health allowing an individual to realizing their full health potential. A healthy nervous system can only be maintained with regular chiropractic adjustments. Without this “Firm Foundation” a person cannot realize his or her full health potential. Dr. Davis continues to use state-of-the-art spinal decompression therapy (SDT), ultrasound therapy, soft tissue release therapy and manual chiropractic adjusting techniques, to provide his patients with the best quality chiropractic health care. Because nutrition is another major pillar of health and most Americans struggle with proper nutrition, Dr. Davis also carries a full line of medical grade supplements from Designs for Health, Ortho Molecular, and Zymogen. These supplement companies provide the highest quality products ensuring sourcing, absorbability, and nutritional support. In addition to his chiropractic practice, Dr. Davis also teaches anatomy & physiology at Des Moines Area Community College. He is well known for bringing humor and clinical practice experiences into the classroom to incorporate a dose of reality and levity into the educational environment. Dr. Davis is also a Life Coach with Optavia focusing on healthy lifestyle behavioral modification. Maintaining a healthy BMI is best achieved through education and nutritional support! Learning to modify personal eating and dietary behaviors is the key to successful health. His approach is based on functional medicine and nutrition to help his patients thrive and not just survive! In addition to his roles as chiropractor, instructor, life coach, and husband, he is also Daddy to two wonderful daughters. Outside of the clinic, the Davis family lives a holistic lifestyle that is consistent with the message taught to both patients and students alike. From home births, functional nutrition/supplementation, exercise, and preventive maintenance through chiropractic adjustments, the Davis family firmly believes good health does not happen by accident. It is a matter of building a Firm Foundation and making deliberate choices to support a healthy lifestyle.
