Tuck Chiropractic Clinic was opened in Pulaski in September of 1979 by Dr. Nathan Tuck with the help of his wife, Barbara. As the clinic grew, Dr. Tuck had the opportunity to acquire the Galax office from the
Bowie family in 1982. Dr. Bowie had practiced in Galax since 1928 being a leader in the community and in the chiropractic profession. As he aged, though he desired to continue seeing patients, he had to discontinue in 1981due to his health.

After treating patients in both practices for several years, Dr. Tuck, Sr. opened a new practice in Fairlawn in 1990. Tuck Chiropractic Clinic quickly grew from there opening the Christiansburg office in 1993,
Blacksburg office in 1998, and Hillsville office in 2001.

In 1997, Dr. N. Ray Tuck, Jr., a graduate of
National
Chiropractic
College (the same as his father), joined Tuck Chiropractic Clinic with the opening of the
Blacksburg office. In 2002, Dr. Tuck, Jr., purchased the
Blacksburg and Christiansburg offices from his father.
In 2005, Dr. Tuck, Sr., suffered from a severe stroke. After six months of intensive rehab, he died due to complications from the stroke. During the rehab process, Dr. Tuck, Jr., took over the day to day operations of his father’s clinics ultimately buying them from his mother.

Roanoke and
Rocky Mount. In June of 2007, the Becker Clinics became a part of Tuck Chiropractic.
