What We Treat at Elevate Sport and Spine
You don't have to be an athlete to want to move without pain. Most patients come in with something in the spine or a joint that won't settle down. Dr. Preston Douglas, DC, CCSP starts with an exam of how you move, then tells you plainly whether chiropractic care is a good fit or whether you need a different kind of provider first.
