About

Forty-Six Years in Hunterdon County. Three Doctors, One Family.

Dr. John Murray has lived in Clinton since 1965 and has practiced from the home office at 10 Anderson Road since December 1986. His daughter and son-in-law joined him. All three live, work, and raise their families here.

In Dr. John's Words

How a personal adjustment at 17 became a forty-six-year practice

On Origin

Chiropractic, through personally being adjusted at 17, changed my life. It gave me a cadence — and an innate feeling that it was just right for me. I had no plans for college or chiropractic, but it moved me emotionally to provide a vital, service-based approach to health and chiropractic healing.

— Dr. John Murray, founder
On Posture

I make no claims that I am "better" than anyone else. We view each patient as a person and whole being — a vitalistic, whole-body approach, with analysis across a broad spectrum, that allows us to help a person heal physically and emotionally.

— Dr. John Murray
The Practice

A Practice Built Around the Patient

Murray Chiropractic was founded by Dr. John G. Murray Jr. in June 1980, after he graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic. Over the past 46 years, the practice has grown into one of the most trusted chiropractic clinics in New Jersey — built on care plans shaped to each patient rather than a standard protocol.

Dr. John has personally performed over 1.1 million adjustments — a number that reflects both the trust the community has placed in the practice and the operational discipline required to maintain that level of care over four-plus decades.

How We Practice

What we ask of our patients

Murray Chiropractic operates on a few core principles. The most important is the contract Dr. John establishes with every new patient, in his own words.

The Contract

Healing takes time and it won't be easy, but it will be worth it. Lifestyle modification is required to optimize your results. You will learn how to help yourself through understanding and practical application. Patient participation is required.

— Dr. John Murray
01

Honest Expectation Setting

When a patient comes in, we explain what we can and cannot help with. We don't oversell outcomes. If chiropractic isn't the right fit for a condition, we'll tell you and refer you appropriately.

02

Care Plans That Match Real Recovery

Most chiropractic conditions take time to resolve fully. We set care plans that reflect what your body actually needs — not what produces the most appointments. We also explain why finishing a plan matters, even when you start feeling better.

03

Accepts All Insurance

We accept all carriers and are in-network with Horizon BCBS NJ and Medicare. We handle the billing on your behalf — including out-of-network claims — so you don't have to navigate the paperwork yourself.

04

Long-Term Relationships

We've been here for 46 years. Many of our current patients are the children and grandchildren of patients we first saw decades ago. That continuity is what makes a family practice work.
