Location: Lockport
Makayla joined the LC Dream Team in July of 2020! She graduated with her Associate in Science from Joliet Junior College in May of 2022, and she is currently a junior at Lewis University with a dual degree in Biology and Chiropractic!
Makayla hopes to become a chiropractor herself someday to show others just how important it is to live a chiropractic lifestyle 24/7!! She became passionate for chiropractic after realizing that her neck was completely backwards when she first began working at LC causing her a lot of health issues at only 21 years old. With lots of determination, she was able to fix her neck here at LC, and she was inspired to help others of all ages realize that there is hope for them to fix their own spines too.
