Santa Cruz Spine & Sport

When he's not the onsite chiropractor for major sporting events such as the Kona Iron Man or Santa Cruz Mermaid Triathlon, Doctor of Chiropractic Justin McLeod leads a team of massage therapists with extensive training and experience in helping folks overcome pain without resorting to pharmaceuticals. The staff is comprised of a like-minded group of chiropractors, personal trainers, yoga instructors, and massage therapists who come together to help clients move well. They do this through correcting dysfunctional movement patterns and releasing restrictions in the fascia, muscles, tendons, and joints capsules. By teaching proper movement patterns and engaging the proper muscle groups, patients can see their pain decrease and return to their daily activities.

Their personal trainers and exercise experts help re-educate their clients, shoring up their posture, suggesting natural vitamins, or teaching them stretches. Certified massage therapists, meanwhile, step in to relieve stress, enhance exercise performance, manage low-back pain, increase range of motion, and more.
