S T Burns

Back In Motion Family and Sports Chiropractic is a distinguished holistic healthcare facility located in the heart of Potsdam, at the corner of Leroy and Clinton Street. Our unique approach combines traditional chiropractic adjusting techniques with advanced therapies such as trigger point therapy, stretching techniques, and other modalities like heat therapy, ultrasound, and electric stimulation. We believe in healing the root causes of health concerns rather than just alleviating symptoms. By doing so, we equip our patients with the knowledge and tools necessary to prevent future problems.

Meet Dr. Burns

Dr. Burns, the founder of Back In Motion Family and Sports Chiropractic, discovered the benefits of chiropractic care after years of suffering from low back pain due to Leukemia treatments. This profound personal experience led him to pursue a career as a chiropractor and create a wellness center that focuses on holistic care. Dr. Burns earned his undergraduate degree in Clinical Science from Keuka College, followed by a doctorate in chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls. His doctoral emphasis was in anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, radiology, and neuromusculoskeletal diagnosis.

Dr. Burns constantly enhances his knowledge and skills by attending electives in various advanced techniques, such as Graston and Activator Technique, Myofascial Release Therapy, and NIMMO (precise trigger point system). He is actively involved in the local community, attending wellness fairs and sporting events, especially hockey, lacrosse, and golf events where his family participates. As an athlete, Dr. Burns has a deep understanding of the performance and rehabilitation issues important to athletes and other active individuals.
