Shane Taffe D.C.
Location: Algona IA & Armstrong IA
Dr. Shane Taffe graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minneapolis, MN with a Doctorate in Chiropractic and Bachelor’s Degree in Science in 2010. He opened his first clinic in Olathe, KS with his wife Nicole in 2012.
Shortly after welcoming their first son, the Taffe family made the move to Des Moines, where they lived for 6 years to be closer to their family. Dr. Taffe worked in an Integrated Health Center in West Des Moines for 2 years where he developed his passion for a multifaceted, whole-body approach to health care.
Dr. Taffe had the opportunity to move back home to Algona in May 2018. In early 2020, Dr. Shane opened Taffe Wellness Center with an emphasis on providing a multidisciplinary health center to Algona and the surrounding community. Dr. Taffe prides himself on always being on the cutting edge of new therapies and procedures and delivering high-quality care. In August 2022, Dr. Shane purchased Oleson Chiropractic in Armstrong, IA, from Dr. Greg Oleson.
Dr. Taffe is also a very devoted family man. He runs his private practice alongside his wife, Nicole, who also owns and operates West Vendee in Algona. Dr. and Mrs. Taffe have 5 young sons together: Jaxson, Maverik, Lynkon, Karder, and Hudsyn. The Taffe family is very involved in helping grow and better their community. They also take pride in giving back to their community by offering frequent giveaways to their patients and community members. In his free time, Dr. Shane enjoys spending time with his family, coaching his boys in various sporting activities, and working on his ugly golf game. Dr. Shane’s love for the community and his patients at Taffe Wellness Center is apparent in his genuine, generous spirit toward others.
