Dr. Leo Kormanik

Dr. Leo Kormanik "treats others as he would like to be treated." As a former elite distance runner and 2012 Olympic Trials marathon qualifier with a personal record of 2:18, his athletic career was littered with injuries. Due to these setbacks, he dedicated himself to learning the best ways to treat and prevent injuries swiftly and effectively, shortening the athlete's recovery time and preventing future setbacks. Dr. Leo is recognized by the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians as a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner (CCSP). This means he is one in a select group of chiropractic providers capable of treating athletes at the highest level of professional sports. He has also volunteered as a physician for USA Track and Field and USA Gymnastics at numerous events, including many Olympic Trials and World Championships. In 2016, he completed an internship at the Olympic Training Center headquarters, helping to prep the various USA teams and individual athletes before the Rio Olympics. Dr. Leo has been selected numerous times as a team chiropractor for multiple international track and field championships, including the Tokyo and Paris Olympic Trials for the marathon and Track and Field and the 2023 PanAm games in Chile. Dr. Leo attended Life University in Atlanta, GA (2008-2011), earning a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a Masters in Sports Injury Management. Born in Akron, OH, and a graduate and Hall of Fame member of Malone University in Canton, OH, he chose to bring his passion for performance health home to northeast Ohio by opening Ohio Sports Chiropractic in 2012. Dr. Leo consistently treats professional athletes in his private practice in various sports. Some of his patients are UFC fighters and WWE wrestlers; NHL, MLB, NFL, and NBA players; NCAA Division I All-American athletes in swimming, running, and more. Dr. Leo is a thought leader and content creator with his YouTube "Running Rehab" page and podcast "Mind Body Marathon." On these platforms, he explores ways to effectively rehab injuries, improve performance, and optimize health. Dr. Leo is always a student open to learning new techniques and exploring research and new schools of thought to bring his patients the most innovative, individualized, and effective treatment possible. When he isn't out for a run, treating an athlete, or learning something new, you can find him spending time with his family or off on an adventure anywhere the road may take him.
