Blake Graham, DC, MS, ICSC, DACBSP®

A Dallas native, Dr. Graham attended the University of North Texas with a major in kinesiology before transferring to Parker University. After graduating with his DC, Dr. Graham then pursued higher education in sports medicine, obtaining his Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician then ultimately his Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians in 2019.

Before finding his way to Canyon Ranch Tucson, where our “immersive health environment” inspired him most, Blake worked as a Clinic Faculty Doctor at Parker University in Dallas, Texas. He has extensive experience working with professional and college athletes in the fields of baseball, football, basketball, soccer, golf, and track and field—and was the Team Chiropractor FCD Women’s Soccer Team 2017 Season. Blake also served on the medical team for 2023 World University Winter Games; 2023 European Women’s Fistball Championships, 2022 World Athletics Championship; 2022 and 2019 National Collegiate Taekwondo Championships; and 2018 National Judo Junior Olympics.

But you don’t have to be a professional athlete to be treated by Blake. Wellness resort guests at Canyon Ranch Tucson (of all athletic ability and range of motion) can meet with Blake for consultations, education, or to create personalized wellness plans that may include chiropractic assessment and/or alignment, functional range assessment and conditioning, as well as functional movement treatment plans.

When not at work, his favorite pastimes almost always include food, coffee, and sports. In fact, he loves to discover new restaurants with unique flavors and offerings, and cafes for a good cup of joe. He is also a sports fanatic and can be found cheering on the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Astros, Dallas Stars, and Tottenham Hotspurs.

A fun fact about Blake (that few people know) is that he played ice hockey for Parker University.

His words to live by? “Prepare your body each morning to work like a body should.”
