Back In Motion Family and Sports Chiropractic is an innovative holistic healthcare facility located in the center of Potsdam on the corner of Leroy and Clinton Street.

Dr. Burns' unique and effective practice methods combine traditional chiropractic adjusting techniques (to restore proper function and motion to joints) with trigger point therapy (to reduce associated muscle spasms), and stretching techniques (to restore proper function to surrounding tendons and ligaments).When necessary, we include other therapeutic modalities such as heat therapy, ultrasound, and electric stimulation.

After years of suffering with low back pain from treatments he received for Leukemia as a child, Dr. Burns saw results he'd not found anywhere else once he began receiving chiropractic care. From here, he set his sights on becoming a chiropractor and having a wellness center under one roof. I wanted to do something in the medical field but seeing the direction that drugs and medication were taking I decided that wasn't for me.
Graston Technique breaks down and releases scar tissue. The technique utilizes patented stainless steel instruments, uniquely shaped, to treat different areas of the body. This technique reduce or eliminates adhesions, restoring function and eliminating pain. Diversified Technique is one of the most standard techniques in chiropractic.
Did you know that as many as half of all Americans overpronate or roll inward at the ankle? This results in rotation of the entire leg, lowering of the pelvis, hips and even the shoulders. It is a major contributing factor in knee, hip and lower back pain. Watch the videos below to see an animation of this mechanism.
RockTape is a special kind of tape known as kinesiology tape. First used by acupuncturists and chiropractors in Japan, today kinesiology tape is used by practitioners throughout the world to treat injuries and improve sports performance.

While the use of kinesiology is often associated with athletes such as Serena Williams, Kerri Walsh and Lance Armstrong, the reality is that RockTape is effective for the treatment of a wide variety of problems, not just sports injuries.While we can't turn a 5 hour marathoner into a 3 hour runner, we do have methods to help you break the 3 hour barrier if you're already close.

Very welcoming and great environment to walk into. The overall experience and care was great. Dr. Burns really took the time to explain his approach to chiropractic care and to discuss my condition with me.
Although the I liked my prior chiropractor I thought I needed a change. I could not be any happier with my decision.
