Dr. Clay Sankey
Meet Dr. Clay Sankey: Head Clinician at TruMotion Therapy
I’m a chiropractor, movement enthusiast, and proud founder of TruMotion Therapy. I opened our doors in 2016 with a clear mission: to help people move and feel better using evidence-informed care and innovative treatment strategies.
Educational Background
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Elon University, where I also competed in cross country and track. That love for movement led me to pursue my Doctorate of Chiropractic and a Master’s in Sports and Rehabilitation from Logan University. Since then, I’ve continued to deepen my clinical knowledge with certifications in Dry Needling, Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), McKenzie Method (MDT), Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), Motion Palpation Institute (MPI) and Cox Flexion-Distraction.

Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include treating spine pain, sports injuries, temporomandibular disorder (TMD), and perinatal pain. With my background as a competitive runner, I have a particular passion for helping runners overcome injuries and return to doing what they love.
At TruMotion Therapy, we combine spinal manipulation, shockwave therapy, dry needling, laser therapy, myofascial release, and functional exercise to deliver personalized care that truly moves people forward.
Personal Life
Outside the clinic, I’m fueled by adventure and family life. I have three amazing kids, one very patient wife, and a fluffy German Shepherd who keeps us all on our toes. You’ll often find me running trails, mountain biking, rock climbing, or camping with my family whenever I get the chance.
