Meet Dr. Brian McGraw
Dr. Brian McGraw received his BS in Exercise Physiology from CSUB and his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Palmer West Chiropractic College.
Throughout his career, Dr. Brian has had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of people, from professional and collegiate athletes to Olympic hopefuls, professional fighters, and everyday individuals dealing with all types of injuries, pain, and movement limitations. Working with such a diverse group of people has taught him that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and performance. Every person comes in with a different history, different goals, and a different set of challenges, and he believes the best care starts with understanding the individual behind the injury.
Rather than treating symptoms, he aims to help patients understand their bodies, improve how they move, and develop the strength and capacity to handle the demands of everyday life. He combines chiropractic care, soft tissue work, strength training, and movement-based rehabilitation.
Outside of the office, he enjoys staying active, spending time with his wife and their dogs, going to the beach, playing guitar, and making the most of life outside of work.
