Ruck Spine and SportS
A Different Chiropractic Experience
I believe that managing pain begins with a foundation of integrity. In my practice, I integrate contemporary pain science with evidence-based musculoskeletal principles to provide a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation. My philosophy centers on patient education, empowering patients with the knowledge to manage recovery and enhance performance through rehab and active self-care.
Empowering Patients to Play an Active Role in Their Recovery.
A rehab/sports injury practice based on modern principles of pain science, tailored to the individual needs. I teach patients how to stay as active and strong as possible despite the pain or injury.
Acute Pain
Acute / Sports Injuries
Full rest is rarely recommended, even during acute injury. We'll come up with pain relief strategies as well as a plan to stay as active as possible while the acute process runs its course.
Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain is complex and has many contributing factors. We'll discuss the multifactorial nature of pain and attempt to redefine / reframe your pain, empowering you to play an active role. your recovery.
Goal Oriented
Define Goals & Get You Back to Doing What You Love
Rehab and strength training programs should be aligned with your goals, hobbies, sports, etc. We'll define your goals and work towards achieving them.
Education & Rehabilitation
Too often, patients are disempowered when it comes to managing their musculoskeletal pain. The promise of the quick fix leaves patients feeling empty. My job is to empower patients by educating them on how to challenge their bodies though movement and strength. We will discuss you goals and come up with a realistic plan to return to activities you love.

Dr. Ruck is amazing. Over the years, I have seen him for several different sports injuries. He is a knowledgeable about them all, keeps current with medical research, and advises when to see a specialist. Most of all, he educates and empowers his patients to understand how to approach sports, movement, and injuries with a holistic, research-based mindset. I have changed how I respond to the inevitable consequences of staying active while getting older and feel more capable of understanding when to stop, when to modify, and when to keep going.

Doctor Ruck is a talented and knowledgeable chiropractor. He has helped me with lower back issues for many years now. Every time I have a flare up, he sees me promptly and helps me get better and back to an active lifestyle. He devotes all his attention to you during visits and teaches you exercises to support continued healing. He is also skilled at helping you cope with the psychological difficulties related to injuries. I’m grateful to have Dr. Ruck in my corner!

I’ve known Lawrence for many years, and I can say without hesitation he’s one of the few people I trust completely when it comes to chiropractic care.
What makes Lawrence different is how much he genuinely cares about the person, not just the problem. He takes the time to listen, asks thoughtful questions, and makes sure he understands exactly what’s going on before he does anything. You never feel rushed, and you never feel like just another patient.
As someone who’s been in the fitness industry my entire life, I’m very protective of my body and careful about who I let work on it. Lawrence has always been incredibly precise, professional, and thoughtful in his approach. He understands how the body is supposed to move and function, and his goal is always to help you get back to feeling and performing at your best.

I came to Dr. Ruck late 2015 as competitive Masters runner with a suspected High Hamstring injury with constant discomfort, especially pain after running. He agreed it was High Hamstring and I started an array of treatments. Dr. Ruck gave me a specific "homework" rehab and strengthening plan. I started that night! He also, wanted to know the extent of my injury, so he ordered an MRI. The test results showed it had advanced to the dreaded High Hamstring Tendinopathy with four tears. His plan was to strengthen the surrounding muscles while re-modeling the damaged tissue. I took 8 weeks off from running. I truly believed my racing days were over. I started racing again in Feb. 2016. I have some discomfort after running occasionally, but thanks to Dr. Ruck's knowledge, plus his prescribed re-hab routine, I am happy to report I have comeback a stronger runner and am racing fast at 53-almost as fast my late 30's and early 40's, my "PR years". I have so much confidence in his abilities to diagnose and implement effective treatments, that I have referred three fellow runners, who are healing. Follow his plan and you can get back to your activities
