Meet your Team of providers at Seacoast Spine and Sports Injuries.
At Seacoast Spine and Sport Injuries Clinic we have multiple providers working hand in hand to form an integrated health care team. We know that one doctor rarely has all the answers, which is why we work together. By consulting with members of our team on the complex cases affecting our patients, we are able to provide our patients with a diverse and integrated treatment plan, addressing not only the patient's injury, but also its underlying cause.

Erica Brown, DC, MS
Chiropractic Sports Doctor
Dr Brown believes that bodies are not designed to be in pain, pain is your body’s signal that something is wrong.

Dr. Brown utilizes rehabilitative strengthening and corrective exercises to correct structural changes that may be causing pain.
