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.

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

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!

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.

Great doctor! He quickly found an effective, optimal solution to address my issues with minimal effort on my part, something other doctors hadn't been able to do. I appreciate his attention to detail, and, most importantly, his excellent network of top specialists. He referred me to the best professionals when needed.

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.

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.

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.
