Dr. Jason Nackley, Chiropractor

Dr. Nackley was first introduced to chiropractic in college as an injured football player. Knowing certain prescribed medications were against NCAA regulations, he sought out an alternative means of getting well under the care of a Chiropractor. Dr. Nackley was amazed at the quickness and ease of healing that did not keep him off the field long and back on his way towards the NCAA championship. Ever since then, he knew he wanted to help others as a Chiropractor.Dr. Nackley is a northern New York native, but ask him about his "roots" and he's proud to admit he was born a Texan.  He attended Hobart College near his hometown of Utica, New York and was one of the first students to develop and obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology/Movement Science. Along with playing college football and holding a part-time job throughout his schooling, he managed to maintain high grades and focus on a doctorate degree.  Following undergraduate, he attended New York Chiropractic College to fulfill his dream of becoming a Chiropractor.Don’t be fooled by Dr. Nackley’s young appearance for he is a well-traveled and experienced individual. Through personal and family acquaintances he has traveled around the globe, met and worked with all types of people, and helped them with their various ailments. Dr. Nackley has most recently taken on his greatest task of all, becoming a father. He and his wife, Sarah, are expecting their first born in August. "Chiropractic school allowed me to pursue many of the passions in my life," says Dr. Nackley. Being an avid athlete, he has taken his love of sports to the next level by helping other athletes become not only healthier, but utilizing all of his skills to help them become well-rounded individuals. His talent in Chiropractic has afforded him the privilege of working with athletes from all different sports levels- from "pee-wee" leagues all the way up to Olympic athletes in training. Not only was he given the opportunity to help these elite athletes with injuries, but he also counseled them in nutrition, training, pre-season conditioning and rehab exercises. Coming from a large family, Dr. Nackley values the importance of close interpersonal relationships. He specifically chose the field of Chiropractic over any other medical field because of the close relationships that Chiropractors build with their patients.  He is excited to join the "family" at Democko Chiropractic as they carry on the personalized, professional care for which they are renown. Dr. Nackley summarizes himself as a very outgoing, fun-loving, competitive individual. "I am eager to learn about others and to share my knowledge and experience with them so that they may live healthier and happier lives." Sounds like Goldsboro has added another outstanding and caring individual to its growing community!

Dr. Jennifer Moran, Chiropractor

Dr. Jennifer has been working here since July 2010. She was first introduced to chiropractic after she hurt she back at work. She was never one to take a lot of pills, so when someone suggested chiropractic, She was skeptical, but when she thought when you are in pain, you are willing to try anything, and she is so glad she did! It was life changing experience, because not only did chiropractic help her back, she decided to help others by becoming one.
 She graduated from Wayne Community College in 2004, with an Associate in Science, Mt. Olive College in 2006, with a Bachelors in Biology, and finally Palmer Chiropractic College of Florida in 2009 as a Doctor of Chiropractic. There is nothing more rewarding than helping people through chiropractic, and she is so blessed to experience that everyday!
