AlignLife Moves Location To Meet Growing DemandAlignLife has moved from its 118 W. Market St. location to just around the corner at 311 S. Buffalo St., Warsaw.
Monday morning, the business had a ribbon-cutting with the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. Kevin Day, doctor of chiropractic, said AlignLife has been in Warsaw since 2010, with its first location on Market Street. They expanded from 1,500 square feet to 2,400 square feet in 2014. Two additional doctors of chiropractic have since came on board - Dr. Morgan Keel and Dr. Cale Fahringer - with a fourth doctor joining AlignLife in 2023.
“So we needed to expand beyond what that building could offer, so that’s when we started looking for other locations and we found this just because it was right around the corner from where we were and it just kind of made sense, so we’ve got room to grow,” Day said. “We’ve got a lot more room for expansion and our plans are to have five docs in the next two years and continue to serve.”
He said there’s no shortage of sick people in the community.
“Our motto is that families are healthier and safer in our community when they’re under care than compared to when they’re not, so we’re trying to teach the patients, or teach the community, basically what health and wellness really is and it’s our opportunity to take care of them once we do,” Day said.
A chiropractor, he said chiropractic is often thought of as just pain relief.
“The big picture is that we’re more like a dental approach in that pro-active wellness is a better way to maintain your health. So, not waiting until you have a problem and then trying to take care of it. There’s a much better way to be healthy. So we invest in our teeth to keep them healthy, we need to invest in our spines in the same way. And when we do that, people are healthier, they’re stronger, they get sick less frequently, they have fewer missed work days. The research is there that proves that investing in your health gives you a really good return on your investment,” Day explained.
AlignLife is accepting new patients. Day said their schedule was filled, but once they added Keel and Fahringer in March, their availability opened up and they could start accepting new patients again.
While AlignLife’s main focus is chiropractic, they have a pharmaceutical line called Aceva.
“That’s a cornerstone of our practice as well just because people that don’t purchase our nutrients end up getting their nutrients from Walmart or GNC and the quality isn’t there the way that it is here. But we also do counseling with gut health, thyroid health and adrenal health as well. We have a weight management program called MetaLife, which is another cornerstone of our practice and we help people that have struggled with weight loss, diabetes and even fertility issues,” Day said.
It’s been a “terrific” addition to the practice, he said.
As far as insurance, Day said they are not in-network with anyone, but most people end up getting some form of a reimbursement, whether it’s through being an out-of-network provider or at the very minimum it goes against their deductible.
“There’s still a reason for them to file, but we are essentially a cash practice,” Day said.
AlignLife has two upcoming events.
An open house is scheduled for 6:30 to 8 p.m. Oct. 28, in conjunction with the Downtown Spooktacular. Crooked Barn food truck will be on hand and some prizes will be raffled off, for anyone in attendance, including a Blackstone grill, a hoverboard and a $250 spa package to Expressions.
“So, come in, take a tour of the facility and if they stop at all of our stations, then they get entered for their chance to win those prizes,” Day said.
The Kosciusko Chamber After Hours event with AlignLife is in November.
Hours of operation for AlignLife are 7 a.m. to noon and 2 to 5 p.m. Monday; 9 a.m. to noon and 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; 7 a.m. to noon Friday; and closed Saturday and Sunday.

“Families that are in our practice are healthier and safer than families that are not. I think that’s important to understand. If they’re not monitoring their health and staying on top of it, they run the risk of drugs and surgeries,” Day said.
