How it all began

The concept of T.E.A.M. CLINIC® sports medicine started back in the 80s after founder Dr. André Chevalier experienced a severe skiing accident. After months of ineffective care, medication and frustration dealing with conflicting medical advice, Dr. Chevalier began to investigate alternative therapies such as chiropractic care which only after a few visits dramatically helped him to a healthy recovery.

After graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in 1991, Dr. Chevalier joined Mission Chiropractic where he started integrating different forms of alternative therapy tailored to each patient. Combining his previous coaching and kinesiology experience to current rehabilitation protocol, Dr. Chevalier rapidly built a referral based practice that peaked the curiosity of many athletes, coaches and event coordinators. After volunteering at many local, state, national and international events, Dr. Chevalier saw first hand how excited athletes were to receive expert opinions and care from a wide range of different health care specialists all under one tent.

After a successful three year relationship with Mission Chiropractic, the 1100 square feet facility shared by two doctors could not offer the type of services Dr. Andre M. Chevalier wanted to offer. In 1993, Dr. Chevalier was invited to China to the Olympic Training Center in Beijing as part of a delegation of approximately 20 health care providers to study the integration of Eastern and Western medicines.This valuable experience became the final catalyst for the expansion of T.E.A.M. CLINIC®sports medicine (T.E.A.M. stands for therapeutic exercises & alternative medicines.) In May of 1994, Dr. Chevalier moved and expanded to his current location.

In 2000, it was decided that T.E.A.M. CLINIC® sports medicine needed to refocus on its first commitment of a “drug and surgery free” approach to patient care and the model was redesigned. The medical branch was dissolved and patients were redirected directed to the former medical director less than 5 minutes away when the need for medication, injection or surgery was indicated.

Today after three significant expansions and remodeling phases, our award winning 8500 square feet, state-of-the-art-facility is one of the leading Privately Owned Sports Chiropractic Therapy Facilities in the country. With the upcoming Human Performance Division and the addition of 4 to 6 new Sports Medicine Specialists, by 2011, T.E.A.M. CLINIC® Sports Therapy Group should establish itself as one of the leading Privately Owned Sports Therapy Center in North America.
