Meet the Doctor

Dr. David Hargraves has been freeing people from pain since 2003  in his clinic in Nags Head, North Carolina. As a Chiropractor with experience, Dr Hargraves is committed to promoting the health and well being of his patients.

Dr. Hargraves uses a "whole person approach" when taking care of his patients. By combining the very best hands-on-technique, state of the art physiotherapy procedures, and rehabilitative care, Dr. Hargraves is able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to good health

Dr Hargraves knows firsthand the benefits that Chiropractic care can provide. As a child growing up he participated in many sports and never thought twice about pain during a rough and tumble childhood that included falling out of trees and getting mowed down on the playing fields by the "big kids". Despite always being the youngest and smallest kid on the block, Dr Hargraves did finally grow to his present height of 6'5" and became an All -American Athlete in college. From his athletic training, Dr Hargraves learned to ignore pain and to keep going no matter what.

Unfortunately, as happens to alot of us, after graduating college, getting married, and having two kids, Dr Hargraves, finally hit a challenge that no amount of discipline or willpower could overcome. One day, while carrying a big screen tv, the person on the other end dropped the set and Dr Hargraves fell over with the tv on top of him. The resulting back injury defied every medical doctor and all pain medication. Sleeping, working, and even playing with his kids seemed impossible. Out of sheer desperation, in an effort to avoid surgery, Dr Hargraves finally took the advice of a friend and went to see a Chiropractor.

The rest is history. Dr Hargraves recovered so well, and so completely,WITHOUT SURGERY, he decided to become a Chiropractor himself, so he too, could help other people get out of pain. Now he sees people at Outer Banks Chiropractic in Nags Head for help with chronic pain, car accident and work injuries, backache and shoulder and arm pain, just to name a few. Once Dr Hargraves helps patients get out of pain, it is his privilege to continue seeing patients to help them maintain their health and wellness and PREVENT future problems.

Dr Hargraves is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Palmer College of Chiropractic.He regularly attends advanced training seminars to keep current in his field and he is certified by the Spinal Research Institute in San Diego for whiplash and brain traumatology. He is a guest lecturer at Palmer College of Chiropractic and still enjoys competing in Master level sports competitions.
