Dr. Cancel’s understanding of the methodologies utilized for peak performance, injury prevention and rehab with elite professional athletes has inspired us, here at Performance Sport Care, to provide many of these same methods to a wide spectrum of weekend warriors, recreational athletes and everyday people who seek an active and pain-free life. At Performance Sport Care, we provide comprehensive treatments for musculoskeletal disorders, including myofascial release in addition to a spectrum of performance/strength training strategies.

Heavy Metals: The Hidden Performance Threat Athletes Are Ignoring

In Walnut Creek, Performance Sport Care is recognized for integrating sports chiropractic, rehabilitative strength training, and sensible nutrition to optimize performance health. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience and a background as a national‑level bodybuilder, Dr. Douglas Cancel helps athletes identify and address hidden barriers to performance—including potential heavy metal risks.
