Michael S. Trayford, BS, DC, DACNB
Dr. Michael Trayford was born and raised on the north shore of Long Island, New York,
in the quaint harbor town of Port Jefferson Station. He pursued many areas of
interest early on including his passions for cycling, science and humanitarian efforts.
In his parent's words he was going to be an "engineer" of sorts. While a young boy,
trying to figure out where the picture on the TV was coming from while observing from
the rear led to the beginning of his passion for knowledge, especially in the sciences.
Dr. Trayford went on to receive his Bachelor's degree through the State University of
New York with concentrations in biology and chemistry and he spent the next three
and one half years of consecutive study at New York Chiropractic College with an
education second to none.
Just prior to graduation Dr. Trayford enrolled in a post graduate program of study in
the field of functional neurology through the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies. For
the next three years Dr. Trayford delved into the workings of the human brain and was
humbled by the complexity of the human nervous system. This led to his earning a
Diplomate status from the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. Subsequent to
that he continues active pursuit of knowledge in the areas of functional neurology,
neuroplasticity and functional medicine to the present day.
Humanitarian efforts persist as Dr. Trayford is an active member of the Rotary Club of
Asheville involved in projects ranging from fueling childhood knowledge with donated
dictionaries to building houses for those in need, as well as participating in other local
and international projects. He also sits on several local boards including the Boy
Scouts of America and the Rathbun Center in Asheville, NC.
With Dr. Trayford's understanding of the physical human situation, coupled with
neurophysiological and psychological influences, there are virtually no conditions of
humankind that would not bode well by intervention with his expertise.
