A letter from USC Swimming
I am writing to introduce Dr. Dan Scheid, a friend and valuable part of our program at USC. Dr. Scheid is our team chiropractor. His advice and expertise in biomechanics help keep our athletes healthy, while his skills as a practitioner help heal injured swimmers quickly — they continue to perform at a high level even when injured. I have seen amazing recoveries following his treatments. In one case, a team member awoke the morning of a big meet with severe shoulder pain — she couldn’t lift her arm above her head. After Dr. Scheid’s treatment she went out and won two events, placed second in another, and swam on a winning relay. In another, a swimmer injured in a car accident was soon back in the water, feeling much better and performing well. He also offers educational talks and workshops for coaches, athletes and parents on enhancing performance and preventing injuries. I’m confident he can help your athletes stay healthy and quicken recovery. Give him a call — you’ll be glad you did.

From patients
Until I started seeing Dr. Scheid, my experience with chiropractors had been quite disappointing. I’m very impressed with his knowledge of the body — bone structure, muscle, nerves — and his holistic approach. In one visit he diagnosed and treated a knee problem I’d had for years, one that had eluded five orthopedic doctors and two MRIs. More recently he helped me rehabilitate a sprained ankle. I highly recommend him to all my friends and colleagues — and to you.
— Dr. Nicola Peill
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Scheid’s for four years. I’m 46 and a lifelong athlete — grade-school baseball and basketball, track, cross-country and wrestling, collegiate cycling and gymnastics, then bodybuilding, powerlifting, Navy SEAL training, high-altitude mountaineering, and lately ultramarathons and Masters cycling. I’ve always pushed hard, often into injury, and even had back surgery for a herniated disc. Over 20 years I’ve seen dozens of chiropractors, physical therapists and sports professionals. Dr. Scheid stands head and shoulders above them all — in technique and in his understanding of how the body works and why. Without his care, it’s doubtful I’d still be competing. His greatest gift may be rehabilitating muscle and connective-tissue damage; I’ve never seen anyone more in tune with an athlete’s needs. Even if you’re not injured — go see Dr. Dan.

Dear Dr. Dan — being new to Southern California, it felt like fate that I found you. I’d seen two chiropractors back home in Washington State, and never have I had such thorough treatment that brought relief so fast. I came in on a Thursday, felt instantly better, and within days was almost 100%. What I appreciate most is how you explain the techniques you use — I’d never seen a chiropractor treat both the alignment of the spine and the muscles surrounding it. I feel extremely safe in your hands.
