Dr. Nate Blume was born in Huntingburg, Indiana and attended the University of Indiana where his studies included a concentration Nutrition and Exercise Science. As a student in Bloomington, Dr. Blume worked at the Student Recreational Sports Center (SRSC) as a Strength and Conditioning Consultant.  It was through this experience Dr. Blume realized his desire to help people get healthy. 

“While working at the SRSC I found great enjoyment in educating individuals how to properly improve their health through exercise and diet.  I became more interested in the mechanics of the body and how it affected function on such an extremely individual basis.”

Dr. Blume’s increased interest in health and wellness led him to classes such as Personal Training, Group Exercise Leadership, and Human Nutrition.   While involved in these classes, it was a trip to Dr. Blume’s own Chiropractor that led him to take on a great undertaking.

“It was while visiting my Chiropractor, Dr. Phil Gilbert, that I realized Chiropractic was to be my profession. Upon asking me about my studies and interests, he  asked me if I had ever considered Chiropractic.  In the 45 minutes that followed Dr. Gilbert explained the principles and philosophy behind Chiropractic.  He talked about helping people naturally and allowing them to heal themselves without drugs or surgery.  I phoned for an application that day.”

Dr. Blume attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA.  Palmer is widely considered the Fountainhead of Chiropractic and is based on a strong philosophy of innate health.  Innate health meaning that health comes from within  and given the opportunity one’s body will strive to be healthy and feel good.  

“I always knew I wanted to work with people to improve their quality of life.  Palmer and Chiropractic provided me with the best tool to do this.  The ability to educate and to adjust.”

Dr. Blume graduated in March of 2002 from Palmer and moved back to his home state of Indiana.  Wanting a cultural and spirited environment, he settled in Indianapolis and began the process of opening Lakeshore Chiropractic.   

“Growing up in a small town, I knew that I wanted to live somewhere I could still be around nature, but wanted more culture and activity.  Over the past 10 years Indianapolis has transformed into a beautiful city with a great sports history”

Dr. Cole was born and raised in southern Indiana.  Like most kids, Dr. Cole never liked taking medicine, however it wasn’t because he didn’t like the taste.  Dr. Cole never saw the value in using medicine to cover up the body’s natural expression of life.  In the eighth grade he attended a career fair at his middle school where he had the opportunity to meet his father’s chiropractor, Dr. Phil Gilbert.  After talking with Dr. Gilbert about the body’s innate potential to heal, Dr. Cole knew that he had found an outlet for his desire to help people become healthier.

Dr. Cole attended Indiana University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition Science.  He then attended Palmer College of Chiropractic for his Doctorate.  While at Palmer, he was the first president of the Palmer S.P.E.A.K. program that focused on public education and awareness for the great health benefits of chiropractic.  Dr. Cole graduated from Palmer, Magna Cum Laude, in 2005.

Shortly after graduation he joined his brother in practice at Lakeshore Chiropractic in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Dr. Nate opened Lakeshore Chiropractic in 2003.  Most people find it odd that two brothers can work together in the same office, but the dynamic between Dr. Nate and Dr. Cole brings great energy and enthusiasm to office.  Dr. Nate and Dr. Cole both found chiropractic through different avenues, but after finding that they shared a similar philosophy and passion, it was a perfect fit to go into practice together, after all, health is and should be a family affair.

Dr. Cole is currently taking classes to become a certified wellness practitioner.  He will receive this distinction in November of this year.  The goal of Lakeshore Chiropractic is to be a family wellness clinic, and this wellness certification will allow them to focus on all areas of HEALTH-care.  At Lakeshore Chiropractic, they take care of people of all ages, from newborns to people very late in their life.  They understand that health starts from the moment of conception and should be taken care of throughout life.
