Praise from Athletes
Athletes have special needs and The Balanced Spine understands the specific nature and requirements needed to help you perform optimally. Whether it's during the season or in the off-season, NUCCA care is becoming the competitive advantage that many athletes are now seeking.
A research study conducted by Drs. Anthony Lauro and Brian Mouch, published in the journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation, 1991, indicated chiropractic care might improve athletic performance by as much as 16.7% over a two week period.
When your body is in better alignment, your nervous system is finely tuned which helps athletes react faster, coordinate better and execute fine movements with improved accuracy and precision. This all leads to better performance, fewer injuries and quicker recovery.

Praise from Pro Athletes
Top professionals in every sport are under chiropractic care to increase health and performance. The following are just a few sports stars under chiropractic care.
Lance Armstrong, Seven Time Tour de France winner, has been receiving chiropractic care since January of 1999, helping him to keep his body together for the harsh demands of the Tour de France. After his last year at the Tour de France, Lance said that he could not have won without his chiropractor's help.
"I have to have an adjustment before I go into the ring. I found that going to a chiropractor three times a week helps my performance. The majority of boxers go to get that edge." Evander Holyfield
Emmitt Smith Credits Chiropractic for Rushing Record "Playing in a football game is like being in 30-40 car accidents."
An article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram explains it all started after the 1994 season when Smith endured a lot of hamstring problems and he began to ask himself some tough questions. "Do I need to get more rest? Do I need to eat better? Do I need a little more training? How can I take care of my body better? Do I need to find a chiropractor? It was time for me to invest in me," Smith said. "I found a specialist that's really good in balancing out my body to make sure my hips are rotated right, and my body is functioning properly. I remember somebody telling me that what I put myself through during the games is like having a car wreck every Sunday. It's against the norm. You can find yourself in awkward positions. That stuff takes its toll. But if you take advantage of the health care, balance your body back out, put it back where it's supposed to be, you function better, and you recover faster."
Joe Montana "Chiropractic care works for me." One of the most recognizable celebrity/athletes, holder of four Superbowl rings, three Superbowl MVP's and Player of the Year in 1990 has just agreed to become the spokesperson for Chiropractic in the State of California.
Dan O’Brien Decathlon Gold Medalist "If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal. You obviously can't compete at your fullest if you're not in alignment. And your body can't heal if your back is not in alignment. It was the holistic idea that I liked about chiropractic and that is what track and field is about. Every track and field athlete that I have ever met has seen a chiropractor at one time or another. In track and field, it is absolutely essential. Chiropractic care is one of the things I think that no one has denied or refuted."
NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, a 13-time Pro Bowl football player who owns 38 career records and three Super Bowl ringsl shares his positive experiences with chiropractic care, "Chiropractic care has been instrumental in my life, both on and off the field," says Rice. "I have been blessed with a long and healthy career as a professional athlete, and as I move forward into the next stage of my life, chiropractic care will continue to be an important part of my game plan."
