What makes Elev8 different

Elev8 Chiropractic is a focused, precision-based practice centered on how your nervous system functions.

We don’t offer dozens of therapies or take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Every decision is guided by testing. Every adjustment is specific. Every visit builds on the last.

Our goal is simple: help your body function better, not just feel better for a moment in Ames IA.

A different approach to care

Most care focuses on symptoms.
We focus on function.

That means:

Understanding how your body is actually adapting
Applying precise, consistent input
Building results that last

It’s a quieter approach. But it’s also a more effective one.

Meet the Team

Chiropractor Anthony Davis In Red Quarter-Zip

Founder and Clinic Director

Dr. Anthony Davis

Precision, without the drama.
Dr. Davis has been serving patients in Ames since 2002 and founded Elev8 Chiropractic in 2006. His approach is simple: understand exactly how your body is functioning, then deliver care that is precise, calm, and specific to what you need in that moment. No guessing. No rushing. Every visit is guided by real-time feedback from your body, not assumptions or routines. And before you leave, you’ll hear the same question every time: “Is there anything else I can check today?”
Fuel of choice: Cold brew. Strong. Unsweetened.

Before choosing a career in chiropractic, Dr. Davis studied genetics at Iowa State University and considered a path in research. It didn’t take long to realize he wanted something more hands-on and human.

A positive experience with chiropractic care in high school opened the door to a different path, one that combined precision, problem-solving, and real-world impact.

One of the biggest misconceptions he sees is that effective care has to be forceful or dramatic. In reality, the body often responds best to precise input, applied consistently over time. That belief shapes everything at Elev8.

Outside the clinic, he enjoys time with his wife and two daughters, Iowa State athletics, and live music and theatre, especially jazz. He also has a strong creative side, and has won awards for his fine-art photography.

He especially enjoys working with patients who are committed to long-term progress rather than quick fixes.

Exam Technician

Brittany

Keeping care human.
Brittany has been part of Elev8 since 2013 and plays a big role in making the office feel personal and connected. She makes it a point to remember what’s going on in patients’ lives and pick up where conversations left off, so every visit feels familiar and genuine. To her, great care means treating people like people, not like numbers.
Daily essentials: Coffee, magnesium, vitamins.
Reset mode: Time with her husband, their three kids, and close friends.

Outside the office, Brittany spends most of her time with her family, enjoying outdoor activities like gardening, camping, fishing, and pool days, along with game nights and time with friends.

She’s also the VP of the Ellsworth Community Association, where she volunteers and supports her local community.

If she weren’t at Elev8, she’d likely be living on a homestead somewhere, fully committed to a self-sufficient lifestyle.

Front Desk Assistant

Hannah

The voice that makes everything feel easy.
Hannah is often your first point of contact at Elev8, whether on the phone or at the front desk. She keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes while making sure every patient feels welcomed and taken care of from the moment they walk in. Her approach is simple: pay attention, ask questions, and make every visit feel personal.
Reset routine: Clean space, candle, long shower.
Go-to drink: Juice.

Hannah joined Elev8 in early 2026 and quickly became a key part of the patient experience.

She enjoys connecting with patients beyond their appointments, whether that’s talking about family, pets, or everyday life.

Outside the office, she enjoys reading, baking, and spending time with friends and family. She’s currently working on improving her cooking skills, which has been a fun challenge.
