"I am a professional Major League Baseball player, having played with the Baltimore Orioles, Toronto Blue Jays and currently Minnesota Twins.
 
Over the course of my career, I’ve had multiple surgeries and endured months of traditional physical therapy. While the physical therapy helped me get back onto the field, I never felt that I was able to regain the levels of performance that I was at before my injuries.

After my 2005 season, I met Dr. Chris Barney and his staff at Performance Chiropractic. At the time, I had pain in my right elbow and lingering pain in my surgically repaired left knee. I was amazed that Dr. Barney was able to relieve much of the discomfort through Active Release Techniques and was able to determine the root cause of my pain. After my first two weeks of treatment, I was back to running and throwing without pain.

After playing a full season, over the course of six months each year, nagging injuries and discomfort are inevitable. It’s comforting to know that with Performance Chiropractic I can get back to playing condition. Dr. Barney is able to assess my conditions and help get me back to 100%, before I begin my off-season training.

This off-season, Dr. Barney referred me to Scot Prohaska, a personal trainer who could help me achieve a level of performance that I had not yet realized in my career. If Scot observed areas of tightness or imbalance, I would relay this information to Dr. Barney. This would allow him to concentrate on problem areas.

I honestly feel that it is the efforts and expertise of Performance Chiropractic that have helped put me in the best possible position to perform at my best. I am completely pain free and in the best physical condition of my life. I can’t thank Dr. Barney and the staff enough for all they’ve done for my career and me."
