Dr. Kristen Steely Marks 26 Years of Chiropractic Service in Anderson

The honor follows a tenure defined by legislative advocacy and internal leadership. During her time as SCCA president, Steely represented the state’s chiropractic community before lawmakers, emphasizing the necessity of accessible care. Her contributions to the profession were formally acknowledged in June when she was named the 2026 SCCA Chiropractor of the Year, a title that recognizes her long-term board service and commitment to mentoring the next generation of practitioners.

Steely, who holds a biology degree from Niagara University and a doctorate from Life University, views these accolades as a platform to shift focus back to her local practice. At the Anderson Wellness Center, she continues to provide conservative treatments including spinal decompression and laser therapy. As Spinal Health Month begins, her team is launching an educational campaign centered on injury prevention and long-term mobility. For Steely, the objective remains constant: helping patients maintain independence and function through proactive spinal maintenance rather than reactive care.
