Dr. Tom Mitchell received his doctor of chiropractic degree from Parker College in Dallas, Texas in 1997. During his four years of chiropractic college, he received rigorous training in anatomy, pathology, physiology, radiology and chemistry in addition to the art and science of chiropractic. In order to become licensed to practice, chiropractors must pass demanding state and national board exams. He opened his chiropractic practice in Raleigh across from Rex Hospital in 1997.
A fellow of the Acupuncture Society of America, he was certified to practice acupuncture in 1998 and has pursued his interest in Ayurveda since the early 1980s. Since 2002 he has worked closely with Dr. Pankaj and Dr. Smita Naram, two of the world’s leading experts in nadi vigyan (Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis), whose patients have included the Dalai Lama and Mother Theresa. Dr. Mitchell sees patients together with Dr. Pankaj and Dr. Smita in clinics in both India and the U.S.
