Dr. Emily Rains grew up in Dixon, IL where she was always running from one sport to the next. Whether it was
volleyball, basketball, or softball, she was constantly competing from a young age. While playing basketball in high school she tore her ACL, and through that process discovered that she wanted to be able to help people with all types of injuries.

With a passion for sports and learning how the human body worked, she decided to combine her two favorite things and study Athletic Training at the University of Kansas. After graduating from KU, she went on to work with Cross Country/Track and Field at Boise State University and the University of Tennessee. During her time with Boise State, the Men’s Cross Country team won a conference championship which was a highlight of her time there! While working as an Athletic Trainer, Emily met amazing Sports Chiropractors that made her realize she wanted to go back to school to pursue Chiropractic. She attended Cleveland University – Kansas City where she continued to expand her knowledge of the human body, how it functions, and how she can best aid her patients in their healthcare journeys.

Dr. Emily has had various continuing education opportunities that include Dry Needling, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (FST/FAKTR & Blades by RockTape), musculoskeletal injury taping (RockTape and FAKTR),
functional movement screenings for injury prevention (FMS/SFMA), fitness nutrition, and massage cupping.
Having these tools in her “toolbox” allows her to create a treatment plan that is individualized for each patient. She truly believes in empowering her patients through education and movement so they have the knowledge to live healthy lives and do the things they love.
