Dr. Blauwkamp started down the road toward the Chiropractic profession during his high school years as an athlete. He continually tried to find ways to improve his performance and get the most out of his body. This effort developed into a fascination on how the body works. This fascination peaked after a sports injury that led him to a Chiropractic office visit that resulted in a quick recovery. Dr. Blauwkamp now has a strong understanding of how the body functions and how to keep it functioning at its best. He enjoys sharing this knowledge, so others can experience the benefits of chiropractic as well.
Combining his knowledge of chiropractic and as an athlete and former lacrosse coach, Dr. Blauwkamp strives to help athletes, as well as the general public, experience what it means to have a body that is functioning optimally. His goal is to help as many people as possible to live pain free, healthy lives naturally through chiropractic and proper nutrition.
Dr. Blauwkamp grew up in Zeeland, Michigan and graduated from Zeeland High School. He then completed his undergraduate studies at Grand Valley State University before heading to sunny Daytona Beach Florida to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he successfully received his Doctorate in Chiropractic. Although he enjoyed his time in Florida, Dr. Blauwkamp was happy to return to the Holland area to be with his family and friends and start his career with Lakeshore Family Chiropractic.
In his spare time Dr. Blauwkamp enjoys many outdoor activities and fixing anything that can be torn apart and put back together. Currently, he and his wife, Brianna reside in the Holland area and are excited to begin their new life in West Michigan.

Dr. Tyler Gunderson
Experience:
Precepted at Lakeshore Family Chiropractic
Residency at Logan University Chiropractic Clinic
Education:

Degree: Doctorate of Chiropractic

Degree: Biological Sciences B.A.

Dr. Gunderson was interested in the medical field at a young age but did not decide on pursuing
Chiropractic until an injury his senior year of high school led him to seek care at a chiropractic office in
his hometown of St. Clair, MI. After recovering and missing minimal time on the field he was inspired to
help others the same way. Through subsequent years in school and working various jobs to pay tuition
he gained a better understanding of how everyday life can also take its toll on others and that sports are
only a fraction of reason for the population to seek care. Now he aims to help people out of their
current pain and provide them tools for the future to help prevent recurrences of injury.
Taking the knowledge and experience he gained as an athlete and employee in many different areas of
work Dr. Gunderson strives to improve the quality of life of everyone that walks through the doors of
the clinic. His goal is to have patients walk out with the confidence to continue to do the things they love
without having to worry about how their body will react and the consequences they have experienced in
the past.
Dr. Gunderson grew up in St. Clair, Michigan and graduated from St. Clair High School. He completed his
undergraduate studies at Wayne State University in Midtown Detroit and ultimately decided to attend
Logan University of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri. After completing the majority of studies the
school allowed him to take an external preceptorship at Lakeshore Family Chiropractic where he
continued to learn in clinical situations under the practicing doctors before graduating in December of
2021. He found a new home in Holland, Michigan and chose to stay locally with his now wife, Ashley,
where they can establish their own roots in the community.
Dr. Gunderson enjoys sports of all kinds and on sunny days you will more than likely find him on a golf
course. He also enjoys being at home trying to stop his two cats, Peanut and Cosmo, from fighting and
destroying their household.
