As a teen, Dr. Santangelo experienced the positive results from Chiropractic adjustments first hand. What started as care for a lower back injury developed into lifetime wellness care and improved health and functionality. Besides being more balanced for sports and activities, the asthma that had plagued him every winter ceased to exist. Having a mechanical background, the decision to become a chiropractor and work on the mechanics of the skeleton just seemed natural to him.

Dr. Eric Clay was born and raised in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada. Grand Bend is a tourist area, where thousands of people in the summer come to enjoy the beaches and beautiful sunsets.
He attended National Chiropractic College (now University of Health Sciences) in Chicago, Illinois. Upon receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, Dr. Clay started practicing family chiropractic in Buffalo Grove, IL for 15 years, learning to serve all types of patients and cases, including headache/migraine relief, sciatica pain, neck pain and lower back pain through the use of manual manipulation.

In Case You Didn’t Know
If you can’t find Dr. Clay at The joint check the beach. “I absolutely love the ocean and spend all of my free time there. I’m learning to surf and having a blast here in Wilmington. I’m so happy I made the move”
And in case you were wondering, growing up in Canada, yes he plays hockey.
For Dr. Tyler Ledford, chiropractic care is a passion that was waiting for the right time to manifest. His burning desire to be a chiropractor didn't show up until age 22 when he got involved in an incident that resulted in his first adjustment. At this point, Dr. Ledford discovered chiropractic was real, and he immediately thought of how he could use it to give millions of patients a life they had always wanted. This led Tyler to pursue a career in delivering chiropractic care, and he received his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University in 2017.
He also holds an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and physiology from Appalachian State University.
Multi-Faceted Medical Training.
Dr. Ledford’s love for learning is second to none. It was this burning desire to know more that led him to study chiropractic, but it didn't end there. He still went on to specialize his study in different areas like public health, wellness, and kinesiology.
Dr. Ledford believes in the power of knowledge and is open to know more...this makes him different from other chiropractors in Durham, NC and beyond. The good thing about Dr. Ledford’s knowledge base is his ability to detect issues in other parts of the body and its cure. Dr. Ledford can help you walk through any health problem asides chiropractic, his medical training has given him the ability to help people naturally on a daily basis.
Non-Invasive Pain Relief.
Natural/non-invasive treatment is what Dr. Ledford lives for. His medical practice focuses more in using exercise and fitness, physical therapy, nutrition, and non-surgical method for the relief and treatment of body pains.
He has been using this natural method since his chiropractic workdays in North Raleigh, Garner, and Chapel Hill. Now, he is using the same method at The Joint Chiropractic in Durham, NC.
Surgery is a NO-NO for Dr. Leford due to unforeseen consequences in the long run. "Chiropractic care can cure any minor/critical health condition"-Dr. Ledford says.
Dr. Tyler Ledford was born and raised in Hendersonville, North Carolina. He has a spouse Lisa, with no kids or pets yet. During his spare time, he enjoys running, hiking, traveling, playing golf, reading, spending time with his family and friends, and trying new things. He also loves coconut water and likes to make all his smoothies with it.
