Dr. Nancy North
Chiropractor
Dr. North has been a practicing chiropractor for over 40 years and recently relocated to Encinitas, California. Dr. North was listed as Best Doctor of Chiropractic by SELF magazine and has treated Olympic Athletes and Pro-Rodeo Stars for decades. As a serious athlete herself, Dr. North was a national fast pitch softball champion, a USASA snowboarding national medalist, and a senior softball world champion. Dr. North believes everyone deserves the same level of care that professional athletes receive and she is here to provide it.
With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Nancy North is a seasoned expert in chiropractic care and sports wellness. Since relocating to Encinitas, California, in 2022, she has continued her mission to provide cutting-edge, noninvasive healing techniques for athletes and non-athletes alike.
A former national fast-pitch women’s baseball champion (1992–1995), USASA Amateur Medalist in Snowboarding (2002), and Senior Olympic Softball Champion (2012), Dr. North understands the physical demands and challenges of sports firsthand. Her journey into chiropractic care began after a severe neck injury that left her with some paralysis on the right side. Doctors offered little hope for recovery, recommending spinal surgery with uncertain outcomes. Determined to explore other options, she turned to chiropractic care—a decision that changed her life. Within weeks, she was back on her feet, defying all expectations and making a full recovery without surgery.
Dr. North’s remarkable healing journey didn’t stop there. Over the years, she has faced and overcome a series of serious injuries, including a broken vertebra in her lower back, a dislocated shoulder, chronic bone-on-bone knee issues since her teenage years, her right leg broken in three places, a dislocated left knee, no ACL in either knee, and severe osteoarthritis in her right hip at an early age. She has also battled severe colitis, thyroid issues, and endured seven head injuries—all of which she resolved naturally, regaining full function thanks to chiropractic care.
Her personal experiences have given her a profound understanding of the impact of injury and illness on one’s life. She specializes in restoring functionality and alleviating pain through a deep mechanical understanding of the human body. Athletes from around the world seek her expertise to enhance their performance, while individuals struggling with chronic pain and injuries turn to her for lasting relief.
After decades of lecturing and traveling with elite athletes, Dr. North has simplified her Encinitas practice to focus exclusively on providing personalized chiropractic care. Today, she is dedicated to helping patients regain their health, move pain-free, and thrive in their daily lives.
