The Story Behind Reborn Sports Chiropractic

Reborn Sports Chiropractic didn’t just arise from one moment—it’s the culmination of many stories shared between Dr. Sterling and his patients.

The Transformations

Patients frequently describe their experience as transforming to a new chapter in their life, from pain and limitation to vitality and freedom. They’ve offered comments such as, "I feel like you’ve put Humpty Dumpty back together" and "I feel like a phoenix rising from the ashes."

The Birth of Reborn

One patient, for example, came to Dr. Sterling after being passed from doctor to doctor with no answers or understanding of her pain. With a thorough and empathetic approach, Dr. Sterling partnered with her to provide real relief and enable her to thrive again. As a token of appreciation, she commissioned a piece of art—a spine with a swallow perched on top, symbolizing renewal. That moment of transformation became the inspiration for Reborn Sports Chiropractic.
