Dr. Brendan Gray Doctor of Chiropractic
Care for every season of life
Whatever brought you here, we’ll start there.
Back and neck pain, headaches, a sports injury, the aftermath of a car accident. Dr. Gray takes a whole-person approach: looking for the underlying cause instead of just chasing the symptom.

What may help with
Low back
The classic. Whether it came on lifting something yesterday or has nagged at you for years, care starts with finding out why it hurts.
Every body is different. This is a starting point, not a diagnosis: Dr. Gray looks at the whole picture at your first visit, and refers you on if something needs another kind of care.
Meet the providers
Four practitioners. One roof.
Chiropractic, acupuncture and massage working together, so the people caring for you can talk to each other about you.

Kind words
In our patients’ own words.
Dr. Gray is the real deal. For a year I had back, hip, abdomen and groin pain all on my right side. Doctors, ultrasounds, acupuncture, even tried PT. Nothing worked. He found my hip was off a bit and after he adjusted me it was fixed the next day.
Dr. Gray is easy to work with and has an incredible staff. I have been seeing him since he started in town and have never been disappointed. He keeps me living an active Santa Cruz lifestyle!
