From Surf to Summit
We Are Here to Help You Reach Your Goals
Your Path to Improved Performance
Performance Assessment
During your initial visit, you will receive a comprehensive Performance Assessment. This phase of your care plan helps us to uncover your strengths and weaknesses as an athlete so that we know what needs to be improved in order to help you overcome your injury and optimize your performance. The assessment starts with the forms you receive when you book your visit, continues through our detailed history and goal setting session, and culminates with a complete movement assessment to fully understand our starting point.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Using the information we gain from your Performance Assessment, we design a treatment plan to help aid in the body’s natural healing process. The treatment plan we implement will be designed to restore balance, enhance mobility, develop foundational strength and give you the tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle—making your recovery innovative and efficient. Our treatment approach may include chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy, dry-needling, and a “Rehab to Performance” based approach in order to improve how quickly you bounce back from injury.
Train to Perform
In your final phase of care, we will take the challenges you have faced and turn them into opportunities for growth. We use your goals to design a plan to help you unlock your full potential as an athlete. Through accountability tracking and unparalleled communication and support we will implement your customized training plan to develop resilience against future injury, and provide you the tools needed to achieve new heights in your performance and overall wellness.

Meet Dr. Brent Chuma
As a Sports Chiropractor, Dr. Chuma’s mission is to provide excellent care to those who choose to experience their lives through movement. As the vehicle through which we experience our lives, movement is the foundation upon which we build our athletic abilities and create community around us. Whether that is in the practice of going out to play a round of golf with friends without a painful shoulder, getting out to run in the local 5K without aching knees, or training your strength in the interest of improving your long-term health and wellness.
Dr. Chuma has extensive experience working with athletes of all ages and skill levels in order to help them bounce back from injury, and improve performance within their chosen sport.
When working with Dr. Chuma, you will first have the chance to share your story as an athlete during the initial consultation during which he makes sure we identify goals for both the short and long term. Once we understand where you want to go within the sport, we complete a full movement analysis and sports injury evaluation so that you can understand the current injury, as well as the root cause of said injury. Using this information, Dr. Chuma will create a treatment plan customized to your needs as an athlete so that we can be sure we are working together to help you achieve your goals. With customized training and treatment, unparalleled communication and accountability tracking, Dr. Chuma will be there to guide you from injury through rehab and from rehab to performance.
Dr. Chuma is a lifelong athlete and works tirelessly to provide the very best in sports, science and human performance to his athletes through each training plan and treatment protocol that he develops.
He spent four years studying Exercise Science at the University of Delaware. During this time, he focused on enhancing performance through the use of strength and conditioning in order to promote athletic development and minimize the risk for injury. Throughout his graduate schooling he spent time working as a Sports Performance Specialist to develop training programs for athletes from across the NHL, MLB, and MLS.
As a Doctor of Chiropractic, he specializes in working with athletes and active adults as well as those looking to become more active. Most notably, he has developed treatment and training plans for athletes from the NFL, NHL, and B.A.A Racing team. He has also spent time traveling to treat the athletes at the USATF Olympic Trials in both track & field and the marathon.
At Surf to Summit Spine and Sport, he provides excellent care and education to his community to aid in the continued shift towards early treatment intervention to help limit disability experienced due to sports related injuries.
Through all of this his vision is to encourage an active lifestyle amongst each of his patients using a targeted therapeutic approach to patient-centered care that will reduce pain and dysfunction and thereby help to optimize performance within the chosen sport.
