Kristen Teuscher

DC, PRPC

Dr. Kristen Teuscher was born and raised in Fremont, California where she grew up playing soccer and softball. From a young age, Dr. Kristen was always interested in healthcare and the human body. She received her master’s degree in biology with an emphasis in microbiology from California State University, East Bay where she also had the opportunity to teach the microbiology laboratory courses to undergraduates and pre-nursing students.

Testimonials

  • Dr. Kristen is a miracle worker. The first time I went to see her, I could barely stand up straight, because of terrible pain across my lower back. Five days later, I was able to race an Olympic distance triathlon (with her knowledge and support), with no back pain or discomfort whatsoever. I've seen her regularly ever since, for maintenance and to work on various niggles so they don't develop into full-blown injuries.

    She's not only a very skilled chiropractor who works on all areas of the body; she's patient and a great listener. I recommend her VERY highly to any athlete looking for bodywork.

  • Dr. Kristen helped me resolve a chronic injury that I thought I would be stuck with forever. She was thorough with her evaluations at each appointment and adjusted her treatment based on my feedback. I appreciated that she was creative – she tried different devices and techniques until she found a method that worked. The best part is that she never told me that I would need to stop running. Her goal was the same as mine – to get me back out there as soon as possible.

  • I cannot recommend Dr. Kristen Teuscher and Elite Spinal and Sports Care enough! Having dealt with knee pain for several years and trying multiple paths to recovery (including being told I would never run again) I came to see Dr. Kristen. Not only was I able to run again, I was able to complete my first full marathon!! Her therapy went way beyond the exam room – she helped coach/talk me through the mental challenges of completing the distance. Without her help, I would not have been able to complete the race!
