Meet Dr. Michael Sterling, one of our incredible YPNG members! Born and raised in Santa Maria, Michael grew up active in football and baseball. A knee injury in high school sparked his passion for the medical field, and after years of dedication, he earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College in 2023.

Now back on the Central Coast with his wife, Michael is excited to serve our community as a chiropractor. **He’ll be joining us at the YPNG softball game on October 7th at the Santa Rosa Softball Fields 🥎 to offer complimentary injury-prevention exercises and on-site assessments.** With your permission, he will assess your area of pain by feeling it, and if chiropractic adjustments can help, he’s offering a **$79 special exam (normally $135)**.

We’re proud to spotlight Michael—be sure to stop by during the game and say hi!
