The Joint Chiropractic - Brier Creek Commons

Dr. Robert Goudy has been practicing chiropractic for more than three decades and has serviced a wide array of patients who might otherwise create an all-star lineup in a game of Brush With Greatness. From football players to golfers, and actors to wrestlers to musicians, Dr. Goudy has helped the rich and famous -- as well as the not-so-rich and famous -- find optimal performance.

A native of Wheeling, W.Va., he grew up interested in helping children and graduated from West Liberty State College with a degree in education. A native of West Virginia, Dr. Goudy spent five years of important work in child protective services before attending Palmer College of Chiropractic. After graduating in 1984, he relocated to Greensboro, N.C., before moving to Raleigh.

Athletic in his own right with a strong interest in health, wellness and nutrition, Dr. Goudy is certified in acupuncture and treating sports injuries. He joined The Joint Chiropractic-Brier Creek because of an extraordinary commitment to wellness and the model that enables patients to live a fuller, healthier, pain-free life on their terms. By doing so, he also gets to fulfill his earlier ambition to teach -- but he is teaching lifestyle.

True to teacher form, Dr. Goudy is fond of the saying, “Never stifle a person with initiative,” and his initiative is to someday retire on the coast, do his fair share of scuba diving, and live out his days as the foodie that he is.

Dr. Goudy enjoys running, golfing and martial arts, which he has studied for several years. Outside of the office, he can also be found at community events and enjoying live music.

Dr. Brian Corsetti began treating the community after he moved to Raleigh in 2004, a year after getting his doctorate from Logan College of Chiropractic. A 1998 graduate of Florida State, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology.

Always an advocate for health and wellness, he originally planned to go into medicine, and even studied pre-med, but decided chiropractic was a better and more holistic route for him after a high school friend’s involvement had piqued his interest.

It turned out to be a great move in his career path; today, Dr. Corsetti is doing what he loves while at the same time helping people without drugs or invasive procedures. He enjoys working at The Joint Chiropractic in Brier Creek Commons, he says, “because it’s fast-paced.”

In his spare time, Dr. Corsetti enjoys the fast-paced action of college football -- obviously, he’s a huge fan of his FSU Seminoles -- along with cooking out and spending time with his family: wife Christina, three daughters and a pet beagle.

A U.S. Army veteran who received a commendation medal upon his discharge in 1993, Dr. Corsetti is also a sucker for watching survival shows on television.

In Case You Didn’t Know

Dr. Corsetti loves the beach, and insists on keeping a refrigerator stocked with sushi. If he was looking to share that ocean goodness with celebrity guests, he would choose some A-list dinner companions: Morgan Freeman, Robert DeNiro, Liam Neeson and Vince Vaughn.

“Vince Vaughn is funny,” he says, “and Freeman, DeNiro and Neeson are all cool.”

But when it comes to cool, Dr. Corsetti thinks the coolest thing he has ever done was surf: “It’s a euphoric experience,” he says.

My chiropractor stopped the pain!

Growing up I had a condition of the knees called Osgood- Schlatter Disease. It is one of the most common causes of knee pain in children. I was active in sports, but the pain in my knees frustrated me and limited my participation. My parents took me to their medical doctors but none were able to stop the pain. Then my father took me to a chiropractor. After only a few adjustments, to my back and knees, the pain began to go away. I was both thankful and amazed. I can tell you from my experience both as a patient and a doctor… chiropractic works and it works well!

My chiropractic journey

That was my introduction to chiropractic and I knew then what I wanted to do with my life. After receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from N.C. State University, I went on to earn my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta . I choose to attend Life University because of the strong subluxation-based philosophy. The curriculum at Life University consisted of 2,887 hours of classroom study and 1,598 hours of clinical studies, including kinesiology, toxicology and spinal adjusting. So, while my education sharpened my expertise, my philosophy drives my passion.

In practice, I utilize a wide range of chiropractic techniques, muscular therapies and therapeutic exercise specifically tailored for each patient. This provides an integrated chiropractic approach to conservative care. My practice focuses on the entire family and offers the highest quality of chiropractic care to both children and adults. I find that holistic, conservative care is an extremely effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions. I am an excellent clinician, and a good listener. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss your specific health challenges.

On a personal note

I am blessed to have a lovely wife, Joselyn and three children, Jillian, George Jr. and Vanessa. When I am not spending time with my family, I enjoy listening to jazz, playing the saxophone and I am an avid football fan.
