Performance Sport Care - Douglas F. Cancel, DC

Fantastic experience: Doug and Dana truly have something special. They fixed one shoulder after a ski injury and I avoided surgery. I’ve now come back years later with a shoulder injury in the left shoulder. An ortho recommended surgery and another recommended a PRP injection. I did the latter , but am confident I’ll be working out soon again without invasive surgery thanks to Doug and Dana. It’s far from your average chiro experience and works wonders, though it takes hard work like most things that matter in life.

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel is the most knowledgeable and thorough PT and chiropractor that I’ve ever met. He diagnosed my problems and set up a defined plan for rehabilitation. I’ve been showing steady improvement ever since. I highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: I went to Dr. Cancel for a long-standing knee issue (Chondromalacia) and a more recent case of golfer’s elbow. He was the first doctor I’ve seen who truly took the time to understand what was going on with my knee. His appointments are thorough, and he never rushes through them. With his treatments, my knee has significantly improved, and the pain from golfer’s elbow is completely gone. After that, I began working with Dana, who followed Dr. Cancel’s guidance to develop a program focused on posterior chain strengthening and posture improvement. She worked with me weekly and was incredibly supportive throughout the process. I’ve learned so much from both of them — they’re a wealth of knowledge. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them if you’re looking to improve your body mechanics and overall function.

Fantastic experience: Great doctor! He never rushes, is very thoughtful, and has already found solutions to all the issues I brought up. He also has an excellent professional network and can always connect you with the best specialists when needed

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel has helped me tremendously with several issues that I have encountered in a thorough and professional manner. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel is the first and only doctor I’ve ever seen take such personal accountability for your recovery. He personally calls, appointments are 1-on-1 with 100% of his attention. From diagnosing to treating to recovery he’s there with you the whole time, ensuring progress. Highly recommend Dr. Cancel

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Dr. Cancel about two years ago based on a recommendation from a friend. I've always had some issues with my back and, at that time, significant issues with my neck and shoulders. I've always seen chiropractors in the past and my friend said that Dr. Cancel was different. So I decided to see him First visit was basically to figure out what was going on and got some treatment. His services are definitely unique and I've never had any other chiropractor do what Dr. Cancel does. First off, he treats the symptoms. Fair warning, you will be in a lot of (good) pain during his treatment because he is really working the tension out of your muscles. He will adjust as he sees fits, but his focus is to get your muscles to relax, since a lot of back pain is caused by muscle tension. Second stage of treatment is to train the muscles we normally neglect. In my case, I've been working out with weights and cardio since high school. Dr. Cancel determined that I've worked out the muscles that are visible, but neglected the muscles that were most important, such as: calves, hamstring, glutes, and back (aka "posterior chain"). Thus, I started training on these muscles with Dr. Cancel's supervision on a weekly basis. Another warning: after the first training session, I could barely walk for several days and was able to walk with soreness on the day I was due back to see Dr. Cancel. Suffice it to say, I continued to come back on a weekly basis for his workout. General synopsis: Of course nothing is perfect. I do get treatment on occasion when I have twinges here and there. However, it usually takes Dr. Cancel just one treatment to make it right again. The workouts are not my favorite, and that is exactly why I continue with the training. His prescribed workout routine would the ones I would gladly skip at the gym. Results: I don't have the back/shoulder problems I used to have. As previously mentioned, I will still get nerve tightness, twinges, etc. here and there, but one extra visit a week for treatment does the job. My leg muscles and back muscles have never been as strong or as developed as they are now. I used to have a lot of pain getting up from being seated, and that has gone away. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Cancel. I saw a lot of value in his services. His fees are higher than the average chiropractor, but reasonable enough that I was able to see him on a weekly basis.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient with Doctor Cancel for several years , he’s the best I’ve experienced with chiropractic & chronic pain needs. He’s a no nonsense , extremely thorough and efficient Practitioner who get the work done in the least amount of time possible & dedicated to supporting his patients so they can resume their lives at an optimal state of health .

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel managed to restore 65% mobility and reduced pain 80% in my shoulder. I am able to sleep through the night again. I was referred to a surgeon by my GP to fix what Dr. Cancel did in just a few visits. Thank you Dr. Cancel

Fantastic experience: I am very grateful to be able to cross paths with Doctor Doug Cancel. I'm 57 years old and injured my Tricep Tendon Bench Pressing. I was real nervous with the situation, thinking that I may need surgery. Doctor Cancel was able to pinpoint my Injury, provide Physical Therapy & Weight Training. I followed his every word to a Tee because he definitely knows what he is doing. Six Weeks later I am just about where I need to be. if I would have gone to an Urgent Care? They would have provided me some kind of Pharmaceutical and told me to stay out of the Gym. Doctor Doug provided me with a Diet Plan, What Vitamins to take, How to care for my Arm Properly, & What to do and not do in the Gym. All these things helped with my speedy recovery. If you Weight Train, an Athlete, or just somebody that has injured themselves in general. I highly recommend Doctor Doug Cancel at Performance Sport Care. It is definitely a game changer in the right direction, and very affordable.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel is the most thorough, conscientious and skilled sports and injury related practitioner I have met. He focuses on underlying causes, nutrition and lifestyle and treats patients based on his own decades of experience with injury and recovery. If you are serious about recovery, and a healthy lifestyle I recommend paying Dr. Cancel a visit.

Fantastic experience: It has been such a great experience at Performance Sport Care. I feel so cared for and challenged working with Dana. I just started and I am so thrilled to be here!!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Doug for many many years. I don't trust anyone else in the space with my recovery and strength training needs. Thanks Doug!

Fantastic experience: One of the best experiences I have ever had with therapy to resolve a chronic issue. I have continued with Dr. Cancel's recommendation to keep my issue in line with montly treatments and I have not had this issue return. I also have taken Dr. Cancel's and Dana's recommendation to train, get a body composition, and meal plan. I can tell you that any program that Dr. Cancel and Dana recommend, will work. If you are willing to put in some work and follow the program, results will happen. Performance Sports Care gets 2 up for me. Thank you Dr. Cancel and Dana!

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel is excellent! Knows his profession very well and shares his wealth of knowledge with his patients so they understand whatever is going wrong and the best way to fix and or avoid it in the future. My husband and I have been going there for years, we live a very active lifestyle and whenever we need him he is there to help us, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Meeting with Dr. Cancel was one of the best decisions I have made for my health! After a knee surgery last year I fell out of shape and needed help making improvements in my routine to get back to a healthier life. He was thorough in assessing my current ailments, diet, and exercise routines without judging me. He helped me set up a realistic program to help me meet my health goals.

Fantastic experience: Sports performance care was great! They really helped me get stronger and perform better as an athlete. Prior to going, I had lots of knee and back pain that was caused by an imbalance in my muscles. They really helped me build and strengthen those muscles so my pain doesn't come back. They also helped me tremendously with my weight lifting form, and it was overall a great experience. I would totally recommend this to anyone who is thinking about starting.

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel is great. Working out my issues. Spends the time and the effort needed to heal me.

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel had been referred to me by a friend who had the same Planter Fasciitis condition as I did, it really was a breath of fresh air to hear a medical professional tell me that he was confident he could treat my condition! Doug made a huge difference in the quality of my life, I could work , play , and have a busy social life with our the pain that plagued me when I first went to see Dr Cancel which my medical insurance coverage had failed me miserabley!! Thank you Dr Cancel for your professional effective treatment, truly life changing results, Don Forbes

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel was excellent. He did a full evaluation and then explained in detail why i was experiencing pain. - andy

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Cancel for 15 years, after I was referred to him by my friend who also goes to him. I had pulled my left hamstring during my advance yellow belt test (Tae Kwondo) and he helped me continue with my martial arts tests all the way to black belt. He is the best of the best. He means business. I also go to Dana for my weight training 3 times a week and cannot imagine a better and a more professional trainer. Every minute of my hour with Dana is accounted for. Her attention to detail is unbelievable. She watches every breath, every single movement, every form of every exercise. I have learned so much from both of them, be it about my own body and how to push it towards excellence, or a proper diet. I am grateful to both of them for helping me achieve my goal: to be healthy and fit.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Cancel for over 20 years. He is the most knowledgeable doctor I know when it comes to weight training, injury and recovery. I have not found another doctor, chiropractor or PT that can come close to the knowledge this man has and is happy to share. Years ago he earned my trust by resolving my issues with two or three treatments, no long drawn out recovery program. Many times the manual manipulation is painful, but it is very effective. What I really appreciate is his effort to correct the underlying issues/pain to get you back in tip-top shape and back to the things you enjoy doing pain free. Dana is a gem! Also very knowledgeable and caring. Excellent trainer with alot of experience. Highly recommend Performance Sport Care!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Doug for 30 years now. I have sent many friends and colleagues to Doug for treatment. Doug has successfully treated me and my friends for issues from pinched nerves to pulled thigh muscles to carpal tunnel - all were treated. Doug is a pro's pro.

Fantastic experience: Doug and his team are incredibly knowledgeable. His level of expertise & professionalism blew me away! I watched how he helped to understand every detail of my husband’s injury and now he has a solid plan and is on a path to recovery! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr Douglas, your treatment greatly helped me; the inflammation of my knee is gone and I can freely move it. Results were felt and seen since my first visit.

Fantastic experience: They know what they’re doing! Dr. Cancel and Dana take the time to get to know you, your body, and your habits. Together, they create an action plan for you. You get logical solutions and action steps that other doctors don’t tell you or don’t know. They’re each skilled and gifted at what they do and work together for a winning combination. Thank you both!

Fantastic experience: Recently started with Dr. Douglas Cancel and I found that he didn’t just treat my neck and shoulder pain but also suggested changes in my diet that will help, suggested I work out consistently, do yoga as often as possible, and things that will help me sleep better. So far all his suggestions have been great and his treatment is amazing. I like his holistic approach.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel is the best. I have been to many specialists about my back. Nothing worked. In 2 months, I have significantly less pain and see a path to zero pain. Thanks doc!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve done competitive bodybuilding for years and have had my fair share of injuries. Rotator cuff being top of my list. Just like anybody else, I went to all the witch chiropractors in the bay area until one of my friends referred me to dr Cancel. I was hesitant at first but he assured me that; he can revive my shoulder and he was on point with his statement. Within 1st visit; he eased my pain and i was moving my shoulder within next 3-4 visits. After my shoulder visits; I appointed dr. Cancel to be my therapist for ongoing weekly appointments to get my body back on track. So far it’s the best care i have gotten hands down! Sad part; he’s a dying breed. I wish there were more honest and knowledgeable chiropractors like him, who treat ppl in pain and not look at us as their “PREY”! Dee Bhogal

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel is extremely knowledgeable in what he does. No one could fix my shoulder but him. He relieved my pain and i was able to resume training and my regular lifestyle. I was not even able to lift my arm without being in pain and now I regained my full range of motion.He helped me learn a healthier approach to body building as I was overtraining and obsessive about working out. He also offered me corrective exercises and supervised training to increase the intensity of my workouts and spend less time at the gym as I have a busy schedule. He corrected my form and offered psycho education. Please do yourself a favor and go see him! Dana is also a sweetheart who has a lot of body building knowledge to help you achieve your goals. I love seeing her in the office as she is always pleasant to chat with.

Fantastic experience: I am a Runner. and whenever I needed, I went to Dr. Douglas Cancel. He is the best sports doctor I have ever met. very accurate in his diagnosis and very effective with the treatment. I absolutely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel is very knowledgeable and thorough

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel has a no nonsense approach to healing. He worked miracles with my Achilles tendon issue. He’s a professional. He absolutely knows his stuff. Dr. Cancel was able to get me expedited for an MRI that was very helpful. The practice is a usable gym/treatment room set up. If you have any needs for physical therapy this is the place to go. A++++ highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Update!!! I started training three times a week a Performance Sports Care. Doug works with me on my lower half twice a week and Dana works with me on my shoulders, back, arms & abs once a week. In my last review I spoke a lot about Doug because I had yet the pleasure of really working with Dana one on one. Doug & Dana have continued to be a highlight of my week. Doug's knowledge, consistency and dedication cannot be measured. I decided to work in my upper body session with Dana not because I am incapable or inexperienced but because she simply helps me get it done better, without injury and in 60 minutes. I was in preparation for my last Wellness competition when I started with Dana. I think it was June. Dana truly cares...her attention to the details and knowledge of body mechanics make all the difference. She will provide little tips and cues that really take a particular exercise to the next level. I come here to work and to make progress on my physique and I feel Dana's consistent encouragement of my progress ... my wins are her wins. This quality is a rare find but I feel that through and through. As a previous competitor herself Dana understands what it takes and is incredibly supportive and informative. I am really looking forward to pealing off the body fat to see all of our hard work. Thank you Dana! I have heard horror stories from friends whose coaches stand them up, are late, sit on their phones, flirt with members of the gym, don't pay attention and simply lack professionalism and knowledge. When it comes to your health...give yourself the best coaching available. I know when I am with Dana or Doug that I am their priority, that my health, goals, progress, safety are all they are concerned with. If you commit to yourself and follow through on Doug & Dana's direction with nutrition, cardio and resistance training you will have a fool proof road map to your best physique; the only thing that could stop you, is you! Doug is incredible! A good friend referred me to Doug Cancel and I am so happy he did. I live a very active lifestyle I weight train almost daily and have been involved in fitness, dance & gymnastics my whole life. This does catch up to you.... especially if you have been performing any of those lifts or movements with improper form....and let’s face it.... we all have. My lower back has been a pain in the butt.... literally! Doug took the time and did things right. After discussing my physical/medical history with Doug he immediately ordered an X-Ray of my spine; something oddly enough no other chiropractor has done. He identified some anatomical issues that were causing/adding to my discomfort and discussed what we need to do so that I can continue to be passionate with my goals and hopefully achieve them with little or no pain. Doug isn't trying to "hook" anyone into a lifetime of appointments either. He openly discussed with me a treatment plan of 4-5 appointments for tissue work to release the muscles in posterior and a few appointments to correct some of my lifts that are contributing to the pain. I have completed my tissue work for the time being and I am really looking forward to learning to train my legs in a way that will put no strain on my lower back and allow me to get the desired aesthetics. I can’t wait to start this next step! Thank you again Doug!

Fantastic experience: Thank You DOUG !! Excellent care!

Positive experience: I recently had the opportunity to visit Dr. Douglas F. Cancel, a chiropractor, and I must say that the experience was exceptional. Dr. Cancel showed great attention to detail throughout the entire process. From the moment my son and I walked in, he was incredibly attentive and made sure to address all of my concerns. What stood out the most was the thorough examination he performed. Dr. Cancel took the time to understand my son's medical history, asked relevant questions, and conducted a detailed assessment of my son's condition. It was evident that he genuinely cared about providing the best possible care. After the examination, Dr. Cancel provided me with a comprehensive report for my son's records, which I found extremely helpful. It outlined the findings of the examination and the recommended course of action, ensuring that I had all the information I needed to make informed decisions about my son's health. Overall, I was highly impressed with Dr. Douglas F. Cancel's professionalism and dedication to his patients. If the need arises, I will definitely return for further treatment. I would highly recommend Dr. Cancel to anyone seeking chiropractic care.

Fantastic experience: My experiance with Dr. Cancel was 100% positive. He was very accomodating to a sudden need I had to change my appointment at the last minute. During my appointment he took the time to give me a thurough examination, and was brief, direct, and to the point regarding my condition.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get you in tune with your fitness! Dana and Doug are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: I had a lot of lower back pain with sciatica nerve pain, now back to normal, Thanks to Doug

Fantastic experience: Professional, thorough, kind and very helpful. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I have heard of Doug for many many years, but was too lazy to find myself a chiropractor and finally after a stent with pneumonia. Also suffer in a stroke six years ago I felt it was time to investigate the process. Working with the doctor Doug, was a great experience. He is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. In his craft which brings a great deal of comfort knowing that he is well-versed in what he is doing it was a pleasure meeting him and I hope I am able to continue to see him for as long as it takes to get well. It was my pleasure Christopher.Balog

Fantastic experience: Thorough treatment by highly experienced, caring professional in a comfortable environment. Thank you Dr Cancel.

Fantastic experience: Doug is a gifted treater and trainer. I’ve used his chiropractic services for more than 30 years. Time and again, his assessments of my various conditions and treatment recommendations have been spot on. When it comes to any kind of orthopedic injury, he is always the first doctor I go to. He is both knowledgeable and very caring about his patients. As to weight training, Doug and Dana are fantastic. My condition and strength have improved dramatically over the past year and a quarter that I’ve been working with them. I now fully appreciate the tremendous benefit of training with them, as they are constantly tinkering with my technique to ensure that I get the maximum benefit from the training. Moreover, they push me far more than I’m able to push myself in my independent workouts. I’ve gotten far more out of my workouts by training with them than I ever did in the past working out on my own.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Dr. Cancel highly enough! Over 12 years ago, I suffered an unusual and severe shoulder joint injury and permanent nerve damage that causes chronic 24/7 nerve pain and severe muscle tightness to my shoulder, arm, hand, upper back and neck. I've had multiple surgeries, over a year’s worth of physical therapy, additional injectables to try to reduce the nerve pain and help with the limited use of my shoulder, arm, hand, etc. with no real relief. I've known and trusted Dr. Cancel for over 25 years. His incredible wealth of knowledge and his amazing techniques to help his patients recover is so impressive and comforting. Dr. Cancel’s thorough exam and personal consultation helps him to properly diagnose your needs. He is an honest straight-shooter, which I absolutely appreciate and respect. He has been treating me for my injury and I’m so happy to say that he’s the only doctor who has given me with pain relief through my treatments. It’s been real positive life changer for me. I'm now so motivated to continue my journey towards better health because Dr. Cancel delivers results. I highly recommend Dr. Cancel to help you with your health needs. 10 stars out of 5!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Seriously THE BEST trainers I have ever been to! Incredible knowledge with decades of knowing how to properly train your body. They have transformed my body beyond my expectations. They are also the utmost professional and caring team! So lucky to have found such talent!! If you want REAL results the right way, its a must go!

Fantastic experience: Doug and Dana have been wonderful in keeping me mobile. i came in after several dr appointments for lower back pain chiropractic treatments and none of them worked. i worked with doug to get back my mobility and have been training with Dana since. she goes above and beyond to push her clients to the next level.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel has helped me out 3 times over the years for lower back, elbow and shoulder problems, both from accidents and long term issues. He is really good at what he does and challenges you to take responsibility for your own health with changes in posture and exercise.

Fantastic experience: Only two visits and my shoulder pain is gone and I’ve benefited from significant improvements from previous range of motion restrictions.

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel and Dana are hands down the best at stopping pain! He does hands on treatment that most doctors will NEVER do to release spasmed muscles and he is extremely knowledgeable about sports medicine. They are a might duo!! I travel miles to see them!

Fantastic experience: Doctor Cancel service and experience is like no others. He goes above and beyond in every appointment .

Fantastic experience: After taking recommendations from several of my friends, I decided to visit Doug Cancel. I have had a few injuries, that nobody can seem to help correct. I have seen numerous deep tissue therapists, chiropractors and all they did was put a temporary fix to the underlying problems. Upon meeting Doug for the first time we did a full evaluation, and laid out a roadmap to recovery. And just the past few visits Doug has helped me tremendously, I would recommend him to anybody who has any type of injury.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful couple. Both of them are professional. I was on a severe pain when I walked in. The bottom line is this is where you enter with pain and leave with smile. Highly recommend this place

Fantastic experience: Best chiropractor in the business. You won’t find another practitioner that care more about your physical well-being then Doug Cancel.

Fantastic experience: Services provided were very helpful in relieving my pain and discomfort.

Fantastic experience: A coworker recommended Dr. Doug Cancel back in 2015 when I experienced excruciating pain in my forearms due to repetitive stress injury. Kaiser simply wanted to keep prescribing cortisone injections & anti-inflammatory meds which only masked the pain. While that seemed to work in the short term, the pain always returned. I am beyond grateful I found Doug because not only did he do a thorough evaluation, but he explained the harm repeated cortisone injections could cause if I continued down that path. He developed a treatment plan that actually began correcting the problem & helped relieve my symptoms without medication! Doug has now treated me for a number of physical ailments over the years including my neck, shoulders and back. Doug is extremely knowledgeable - he does the research & explains the science behind an injury in a way you can easily understand. He develops individualized treatment programs using cutting edge techniques that rival that of professional sports teams. Now...couple that with his amazing wife Dana who handles my personalized strength training program 2x a week. Dana trains me in their state-of-the-art gym to help strengthen my body so I can stave off some of the physical problems we seem to get as we age. Dana challenges & pushes me just a little bit further every time. The "Doug & Dana" method has made me a life-long believer in the positive benefits of chiropractic care. This is my primary form of healthcare to achieve my goals because this dynamic duo believes you have the ability & potential to succeed. Doug & Dana care about you - mind AND body - and will take you to the next level!!

Fantastic experience: I had sharp lower back pain that made its way to my lower leg. Doug was able to work it out without any medication or invasive surgery. A couple of sessions and I was back in action. Made a trip to Nepal and did lots of hard work and trekking and my back was solid the entire time. He explains everything he is going to do and works magic! I also just started a strength training program and feel very confident in the work that is being done

Fantastic experience: A friend and a family member raved about Dr. Cancel. After seeing my chiropractor for the past 2 years for chronic pain, I finally broke down and made an appointment with Dr Cancel. He gave By far the most thorough initial exam I have ever had. He is knowledgeable, informative, professional and he truly cares. The relief I received from my chronic pain after my first visit alone was encouraging that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am only sorry I spent so much money and time in pain before finally seeing Dr Cancel. I am so grateful.

Fantastic experience: Doug is an incredible chiropractor and has helped me immensely on several occasions. I will never go to anyone else for help!

Fantastic experience: Doug and Dana have been such a gift in my recovery from neck and shoulder pain and a so so workout routine! Both know so much about the body, and how each person needs different treatments and exercises. I highly recommend them not only for how much relief and progress I’ve seen, but also because the truly do care about you being happy and healthy!

Fantastic experience: I suffer from degenerative disc disease, sciatica, bones out of place and arthritis in lower back. Had to get out of bed with a cane plenty of days. I took a cortisone shot which did not help at all. A friend finally referred me to Dr. Cancel. I started treatment with him, and felt a lot better within 2 months. I currently work out with him and Dana. Two great individuals to work with.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this office. Came here in 2021 for neck pain that's been addressed through chiropractic therapy and regiment of strength exercises. Dr. Cancel's approach of teaching patients how to take care of themselves through fitness and strengthening exercises differentiates his approach from many practitioners that focus on weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly adjustments at the office.

Fantastic experience: Doug is truly an expert in his craft. My family and I have been seeing Doug for years and continue to see him for all of our muscular treatment. After my car accident in December 2021, Doug has been helping me not only improve my physical health, but has given me the confidence to move past my accident and assume normal life. I can’t recommend Doug enough to anyone experiencing physical pain. He will fix you!

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel will help to identify and resolve your issue, without stringing you along. Check them out, pure professionals. If you need a personal trainer Dana is excellent!! Brad Farmer CPA

Fantastic experience: I started coming to see Dr. Cancel earlier this year with a back injury. I had my bodybuilding show coming up in just few months and was afraid I would have to train and compete with my back being in pain. Dr. Cancel ensured me that won’t be the case. After a careful examination he was positive my back will be healed in just a handful of visits. Trust me, it was music to my ears!! Also, since I was training by myself at the gym I was most likely not doing some crucial exercises correctly. This is where Dana Cancel came in and performed in-house exercises with me while watching my form and ensuring I continue to grow physically without hurting my back any more! Doug and Dana are extremely knowledgeable at everything they say and do. I trust them with my body . I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! Thank you for all you do!

Fantastic experience: Dr Cancel and Dana are hands down amazing. They truly care about their clients well being and helping you to get better quickly and also how to maintain and continue to improve the way you feel. I first went to Dr Cancel at Performance Sport Care when a co-worker and I discussed some issues I had with my shoulder and numbness in my arm. This co-worker highly recommended I go see Dr Cancel. He said “Dr Cancel will change your life” he couldn’t have been more correct. Since going to Dr Cancel and beginning my training sessions with Dana I feel 1000 times better. My mobility has improved, my posture is back to normal and I have continued to improve with each session. I would recommend Performance Sport Care to anyone who is suffering from pain, fatigue, issues with muscle or skeletal normality. If I could give them 10 stars out of 5 I would do that.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel has helped me deal with extreme neck pain and tennis elbow and I am very happy with the results. He also put together a strengthening program for me that I am working with his wife Dana on so that once I understand how to exercise correctly i can take the program to the gym and work on it on my own. It is so great to have that support right there in the same office so that the strengthening program is optimal to deal with my specific needs and can be adjusted as he sees the need

Fantastic experience: The three members of my family, plus countless friends of ours, have been patients of Doug Cancels for over 25 years. He is throughly invested in his passion of healing the human body and is very honest about what he can help repair and what needs an alternative method of treatment. Isn't anyone else we would go to. He helped my son's knee in one session. I haven't heard him complain about it since. He was shocked at the difference almost immediately.

Fantastic experience: Over two decades ago I contacted Dr. Cancel based on a recommendation from my wife. At the time my wife worked for Champion Nutrition, a company which sold health supplements. Many of the people she worked with & customers were health conscious & regularly kept their bodies physically fit. Several of the employees visited Dr. Cancel when experiencing pain and highly recommend his services. I too loved going to the gym on a regular basis, one day my neck seized up severely I could not turn my head to the right & the pain was extreme. I went to Dr. Cancel and he did a thorough evaluation and identified that certain muscle groups were seizing up on me, he worked those muscles and did manipulation. My pain subsided in short order, I found this different than other chiropractors I had seen in the past. Over the years I’ve visited him on a couple occasions just to keep things in check. His philosophy is to get you better so you don’t have to keep coming back time and time again, I highly recommend seeking out Dr. cancel if you are in pain.

Fantastic experience: I was in an automobile accident and suffered neck pain. I sought the services of a chiropractor in my area to fix my issue. After visiting my chiropractor 15 times or so over a couple months I was not improving. I was referred to Doug Cancel by my close friend who is a professional athlete in the Bay Area. Quite a drive for me from Fresno, but i was desperate. Doug Cancel explained to me every step to becoming healthy again. His goal was to fix my issue permanently, not just have me feel better for a brief period of time. He was able to manipulate my scalene (sp?) muscles, a painful process, but definitely worth the suffering (pain is only temporary). He then would also adjust me. Needless to say after only 5 visits to Doug Cancel I was pain free, regained full movement, and went back to my normal life. He's not a cookie cutter chiropractor. He utilizes many new, different, and cutting edge ways to CORRECT your problem.

Fantastic experience: Compassionate caring dedicated professionals!

Fantastic experience: Performance sports care helped me improve my weight training ,range of motion , & flexibility . Dr. Douglas Cancel Knowledge by far has helped me to take My weight lifting to the next level. His expertise and knowledge of the body Has helped me progress to winning a Bodybuilding Show First place

Fantastic experience: I have been playing sports and lifting weights for more than a decade now and have built up a lot of stress and injuries over the years. I have also had a history of back injuries in the past that have sidelined me from either participating in sporting events or the gym for weeks to months at a time. One time my back went out randomly without me even doing anything active (during vacation actually) and that pain was so severe I was barely able to walk or sit down. Every movement hurt, to the point where I had to call off work. A co-worker of mine recommended Dr. Cancel and I can see why. After seeing Dr. Cancel for the first time, my pain and situation rapidly and greatly improved. He recommended coming in for 4 sessions and by the 3rd session, he said it was no longer necessary to see him. Each session improved my back greatly. He doesn't seem to recommend months worth of visits like most Chiropractors often do and try to keep you coming back repeatedly seemingly forever. He is very knowledgeable and really knows a lot about sports and was able to tell me what I should be avoiding and how to better maintain my back/hips on my own. He has a great staff and great bedside manner which is really refreshing in an era where doctors don't even look at you over their notepad and receptionists sit behind closed windows and ignore you for what can be hours. I would highly recommend Dr. Cancel and his office to anyone I know!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Cancel for over 16 years and have had nothing but professional treatment and successful outcomes. In fact, Thanks to Dr. Cancel's soft tissue work I was able to compete in Bodybuilding this year despite an arthritic shoulder with multiple torn rotator cuffs. Dr. Cancel's knowledge of the anatomy and how the skeletal and muscular system relate to one another is one of a kind. So, I am very grateful for Dr. Cancel's expertise at working with, and around severe sports injuries.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cancel has treated me, as well as helped me with nutrition, training and recuperation after several orthopedic surgeries . His training programs, use of free weights, machines and bands have been instrumental in keeping me flexible and still lifting hard as I approach 60, despite several years of competitive Olympic Lifting, which left me with shoulder, knee, foot and rotator cuff injuries. I believe his training methods have helped preserve my joints, and allow me to still lift heavy and hard. HIs nutritional advice and body fat testing are extremely effective and helpful. Thank you Dr. Cancel for keeping me running on 8 pistons!

Fantastic experience: Doctor Cancel, is a true professional in treating athletes and none athletes. He has treated my family and makes sure your back on track to your normal activities as soon as possible. The education you receive with treatment is most helpful to a healthy life style going forward.

Negative experience: I trained with Dr Cancel for some time a while back and found his trining with the bands damaging. Considering tat he, himself cannot reach behind his back, a result of his training methods speaks for itself. I also was under his treatment which availed nothing which is why I began to look elsewhere. Most of my sessions with him were about a half hour. He talks a good game and he looks the part but his skills are severely lacking

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient since 1987! Dr. Cancel has treated me from tip to toe, including everything from neck and back issues to keeping my carpel tunnel at bay as well as getting rid of scar tissue in my feet after foot surgery. The podiatrists had no idea how to ease the pain of scar tissue but Dr. Cancel worked his medical magic and my feet have been "on the run" every since. He also treated my teenage daughter after getting whip lash, and he treated my 90 year old father as well. I will be his patient until the day I die! My suggestion is don't ever "cancel" your appointment. You will regret it!

Positive experience: Overall, my experience with Dr Cancel of Performance Sport Care was positive. Before he started any treatment, he took the time to understand exactly what was going on with my shoulder. He then showed me how the shoulder worked, what the problem was and his specific treatment options he would use to fix the imbalance I had created. His explanations were really helpful and let me know he was listening and created a treatment plan for my problem. It only took a few treatments and my right shoulder was no longer hurting. He does strive to resolve problems as quickly as possible. He didn't keep me coming in for countless appointments once the problem was resolved. If you have sports related injuries and the likes, I'd recommend giving Dr Cancel and call and see if he can help or might know somebody who can.
