I came here about 7-8 months pregnant. Best decision I’ve made. I work with Dr. Abby Dante and she help with my painful sciatica cause by the pregnancy. As a result to our sessions, my sciatica was almost nonexistent in the remainder of my pregnancy. I applied what I leaned from Dr. Abby Dante, and as a result my labor is extremely quick and recovery was amazing. I definitely recommend her if you’re pregnant. Very safe with pregnant women.

I COULDN'T PICK UP MY BABY GIRL. From lack of rest + lack of exercise, my back just couldn't handle a 14lb lift out of the crib without sending me to the floor in spasm. My poor wife was working 24/7 with only moral support from me. I saw three different staff in a short period for treatment due to urgent need for scheduling, and got excellent treatment & advice from all three. After treating the acute back pain to get me moving again, they helped me get started with a great, fast, simple core regimen that has me in less and less pain and stronger each day that goes by. Feeling better than I have

I have been to True Sport Care twice over the last few years and have found their approach to be very helpful.
We moved about 6 months ago, but still follow them. Recently emailed Dr Marc for advise on a sciatica condition. He promptly responded with recommended exercises found on their Utube site. It was much appreciated.

Dr. Marc's methodology for solving the problems found within the body is something I particularly resonate with. I think his care is top notch, and his perspective makes sense for how to treat your body. I've been treated by Dr. Marc for back and knee issues and have sent my Uncle to see him for shoulder and knee issues. He was able to provide grounding advice and relief through the exercises and analysis he conducted. Highly recommend giving him a shot.

I was impressed with this office right away and was referred there by my mom. Dr.Marc is informative, super knowledgable, and straightforward (in a kind way) with expectations of how chiropractor-ing (?) is more effective when practiced at home too. They set there clients up for extreme success with all the extra resources they have for you. The staff is warm, inviting, and they want to get to know you on a personal level too... which I appreciated right away!

The people at True Sport Care are simply the best at what they do. Like many, I have gone to typical chiropractors over the years for back pain. The actions are all the same with every one of them - electronic stim, crack the neck, crack the back, repeat two days later. True Sports seems to be a combination of PT and chiropractic - true sports medicine. They fix the problem and never try to get you in for visits you don't really need. They are terrific and highly recommended. While all of their doctors are excellent, Dr. Abby is spectacular. If you have back issues, don't waste your

I have had the privilege of being a patient at True Sports Care for 10+ years. Mark, Hope, Dan & Abby are all amazing chiropractors. They have the ability to diagnosis & treat a musculoskeletal problem with compassion. Their 3 visit philosophy is like no other office. The team, at the front desk & behind the scenes, is friendly and always helpful. I have never been treated by James the physical therapist but i have only heard good things! Last but not least there is James, the massage therapist. James is a wonderful MT & personal trainer. I am very fortunate to have had

Former D1 Nationally Ranked athlete living with a connective tissue disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Over the years I worked with many specialists and practitioners to treat body-wide injuries and join instability that come with each flare, but repeatedly return to Marc, Hope and his Team for TLC.
This past August 2019, I experienced the worst flare of my life. I was bed ridden for weeks with injuries and muscle atrophy. As a result, I began Physical Therapy at a facility slightly closer to me for over 5 months but was actually declining in mobility. Now, After only a single month of starting

I injured my hamstring while training for the 2019 TCS NYC Marathon. A friend who had had a good experience at True Sport Care suggested that I call them. I couldn't be more pleased with the care I received. Dr. Abby Dante is an absolute gem! I was given PT exercises along with weekly active muscle release that made me strong again. True Sport Care turned what could have been a major disappointment into one of the best experiences of my life. Running that race was at the top of my bucket list. Thank you Dr!

Amazing facility and staff! They are true professionals both at the desk and in the treatment rooms. Very good with athletes and always full of knowledge and advice to help keep you strong and healthy. I cannot count the number of times I've gone there AFTER being told I need surgery or medicine and I was able to get treated without EITHER and learned how to get healthy and strong again naturally! Excellent Chiropractors, Excellent PT - and completely up to date with all new techniques in treatment. Highly recommended for an active family!

I've have been a patient at True Sport Care since they opened business in their original location on Lake Avenue. The individualized care you receive here is the best you can find anywhere. This is not your regular everyday chiropractic office. Everyone who provides treatment is knowledgeable, caring and highly professional. If it weren't for True Sport Care I wouldn't be able to continue my regular fitness regime. Thanks to Drs. Marc, Hope, Dan and Massage Therapist James for everything you do to make life better for those who come to your office.

They are fantastic. Unlike other chiropractic offices that try to get you to max out your insurance with visits three times a week, they actually analyze your movement and teach you how to strengthen and stretch on your own. They truly listen and try to figure out which muscle groups may be weak and contributing to imbalances, causing pain. I would highly recommend them!

True Sport Care is the place to go for any musculoskeletal concerns. I first read about Dr. Marc in an article leading up to the 2014 Olympics. Then a short while ago I was telling a friend how I had to get to a chiropractor and he couldn't praise Dr. Marc and True Sport Care enough. So I gave them a try...
This is not just an office with a few tables, where you get cracked for 5 minutes and walk out. They spend time with you each visit, and work on past and present issues, as well as teaching you preventative maintenance. Things like stretches, proper breathing exercises and core-building
