We are celebrating 56 years of providing chiropractic care to the Missoula community! Here's a little history on how it all began.
Dr. Elmer W. Gray opened his chiropractic practice in October 1954 in a small office in the Missoula Hotel, across from the old Fire Hall downtown. In 1973, anticipating son David’s arrival, he opened a new office on East Broadway in the site of the old Montana Power headquarters. Dr. David arrived in the fall of 1974 and the two practiced at the Broadway site until Dr. Elmer’s retirement in 1996.
Dr. David, in association with several other chiropractors and acupuncturists, opened Health Options Clinic on South Reserve Street in the fall of 1997. The multidisciplinary clinic was the first of its kind in Montana and formed the model for the present Russell Street clinic. Dr. Corey joined the practice in 2000 and both father and son continue the tradition of excellence in chiropractic started by Dr Elmer in 1954.
Doctors Gray practice traditional chiropractic methods tempered by new and emerging concepts validated by current research. Both doctors use "hands on’"manipulation methods as well as some technological advanced approaches when appropriate.
Patient clinical history, physical examination findings and imaging studies constitute the basis for treatment recommendations. In clinic treatment modalities may include chiropractic manipulation, soft tissue therapies, prescribed physical therapy, acupuncture and or a referral for medical or surgical consultation.
Patient participation in health decisions is critical for best treatment outcomes; you are a vital part of effective spinal health planning. Your input and cooperation with recommended treatment options contribute to our philosophy and mission of shared understanding. We recognize each patient and each episode is unique and deserves careful attention. The recommended treatment plans reflects our recognition of appropriate and necessary care consistent with your special needs or circumstances.
We look forward to helping you achieve improved spinal health in a cooperative environment.
