Our ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE athletes train on a consistent basis and require a supporting resource system to keep them healthy in their progression physically. 

One area that is instrumental in our resource system is Dr. Michel Shride at Carolina Spine and Rehab. Periodic visits with Dr. Shride has been beneficial to our athletes. Ricky Flynn, 12th at the 2012 USA Olympic Team Marathon Trials, is a frequent patient to keep proper alignment so that he can train at a high level.

About Dr. Michael Shride

My education began as an undergraduate student at Marshall University in Huntington, WV. After completely 3 years of prerequisite studies, I moved to Davenport, IA to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic. Palmer is often called the "Fountainhead" of chiropractic, since it is the original chiropractic college. There I received what I would consider one of the finest educations you can receive! I was surprised to find that the initial 3 years, of a 5 academic year program, are essentially identical to a standard medical school education. Since I enjoy figuring out how things work, I particularly enjoyed anatomy, physiology and radiology! My chiropractic educational experience definitely caused me to fall in love with the profession and made me confident in the career choice that I had made!


My primary goal in practice is to help as many people as possible, achieve a level of optimum health, by providing quality chiropractic care to them and their families.

To help relieve the suffering that so many people have to tolerate on a daily basis. I want to help my patients understand that good health, or bad health, is not something that just happens to them, but something that they are responsible for! They can be active participants in their health recovery and health maintenance! It's not something that I, as their doctor, am solely responsible for… they too have to get involved in the process. Therefore, patient education had a significant role in my practice. I stress prevention as opposed to trying to treat the symptom or health condition AFTER it has shown up. I definitely practice by the motto "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Never have truer words been spoken! There is nothing quite as satisfying as watching a patient regain what they thought was lost……their health and their "life"!


Testimonials from ASICS GTC-ELITE athletes

"I have been seeing Dr. Shride since moving to Greenville. He is not only very knowledgeable in the chiropractic area but he also provides a very friendly atmosphere. His expertise in the field allows for him to easily explain what he is doing and how it is helping me physically. As an elite distance runner every second counts and Dr. Shrides' chiropractic adjustments help me perform at a more efficient level.  This helps me run faster and pain free.  I feel much better when leaving Dr. Shride’s office each week."    --Ricky Flynn - 2012 & 2016 USA Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier

"Dr. Shride has done an incredible job keeping me pain-free and able to run. As an elite distance runner with a history of several sacral stress fractures, my routine visit to Dr. Shride has been the key to keeping my body healthy. He is incredibly thorough – just in my first visit, he took x-rays to better understand my alignment and adjusted my back, knees, and feet. I highly trust Dr. Shride with my well-being and keeping me injury-free." – Dylan Hassett – 2016 USA Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier.
