Dr. Trent Gray, DC
Chiropractor
Concussion Management
Dr. Trent grew up in Edson, Alberta among the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. From a young age, he had a passion for the outdoors. While learning how to snowboard, rock climb, mountain bike, and more he has suffered a countless variety of injuries which led to a fascination with the human body and its ability to heal itself. This led him to pursue chiropractic and go on to graduate as a Doctor of Chiropractic from the University of Western States.
Dr. Trent is trained in Diversified Chiropractic Technique, Myofascial Release Therapy, Nerve Release Therapies, and Graston Technique. He also has a special interest in concussions with a focus on associated cardiovascular, visual-vestibular, and cervical treatments.
After spending 10 years studying and practicing in major cities across western Canada and the United States, Dr. Trent felt the pull of small town life again. He is incredibly excited to now call Castlegar home as he builds a life here among the gorgeous peaks of the West Kootenays!
