Ruck Spine and SportS
A Different Chiropractic Experience
Lawrence Ruck, D.C.
-B.S. Biology, State University of New York at Albany
-B.S. Human Biology, National University of Health Sciences
-D.C. National University of Health Sciences, Chicago IL
I have post graduate education in sports injuries (Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner) and soft tissue therapies (Active Release). Prior to Chiropractic College, I worked as a personal trainer, certified through the American Council on Exercise (ACE). I have lectured extensively on topics in Anatomy, functional training, and injury prevention.
In my spare time, I enjoy basketball (as long as everyone is over 40), hiking, woodworking, and cooking.
My practice goals are simple: I teach patients how to stay strong
and active, avoid unnecessary intervention, and keep them doing what they love.
