Meet Dr. Donna Cray – the heart behind Frederick Family Chiropractic.

If you’ve ever been in our office, you know that Dr. Donna is more than just your chiropractor, she’s your biggest cheerleader, your listening ear, and the reason you’re probably laughing on your way out the door.

Dr. Donna founded Frederick Family Chiropractic back in 2006, naming it after her maiden name to honor her roots. Born and raised right here on the south side of Muncie, she went on to study at Ball State University, Palmer College of Chiropractic, and Logan University.

She’s also one of only three chiropractors in the entire state of Indiana with advanced training in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care, including adjustments for infants (called a Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics). Whether you’re a first-time mom, a tired dad, or someone simply navigating the everyday aches and pains of life, Dr. Donna has a special way of making everyone feel at home.

Outside the office, she’s often seen along the sidelines with her husband, Jason, cheering on their ten-year-old son, Michael. Their nights and weekends are full from attending mixed martial arts (both Jason and Michael do Shorin Ryu Karate and are both 2nd Kyu) and baseball, while also keeping up with their two adorable Goldendoodles, named Peanut and Butter.

MeLinda Porter has been a vital part of the Frederick Family Chiropractic team for the past six years. As our Office Manager, she’s often one of the first smiling faces you’ll see when you walk through our doors.

Her favorite part of working at FFC? “Getting to know the patients.” MeLinda values the personal connections she builds each day. One patient in particular made a lasting impression early on as he reminded her of her own father. “He jokes around with me every time he comes in, and sometimes he just stops to talk while his wife is getting adjusted. He brightens my day every time he comes in!”

Outside the office, MeLinda enjoys spending time with family and friends and growing in her faith. A little-known fact about her is that she also serves as the Pastor of Spiritual Formation and Discipleship at South Side Church of the Nazarene.

Her advice to anyone new to chiropractic care? “Relax, and trust the process. We have amazing doctors!” Next time you stop by, be sure to say hello to MeLinda. We are grateful for all the hard work she does daily to keep our office running. Thank you, MeLinda!

Dr. Alec graduated Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, California (now Pacific College of Health and Science) in 2018 with a Master’s of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine and a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. During his schooling, he completed internships focusing on treating pain, women's health, emotional disorders, diabetes, GI issues, and dermatology through various traditional Chinese medical modalities. Currently, he continues to study and advance his practice through continuing education, specializing in pain management, mental health, women's health, and pediatrics.

 

Dr. Alec, his fiancé Savannah, and their two dogs moved to Muncie in 2018 to bring Chinese medicine to an under-served area, excited to be a part of the Muncie community.
