Clinic known for treating pro athletes and everyday New Orleanians alike
NEW ORLEANS — Saints wide receiver Bub Means (#16) recently stopped by local clinic NOLA Spine Care as he prepares for a breakout 2025 season. The rising star, who suffered a high ankle sprain in 2024 against the Chargers, recently visited NOLA Spine Care for a performance-focused tune-up — and shared the experience with his fans on Instagram.
Means’ visit underscores the clinic’s growing reputation for delivering high-quality care
not only to weekend warriors, but also to professional athletes who rely on elite physical
performance. Known for its comprehensive approach, NOLA Spine Care offers spine
and extremity chiropractic care, therapeutic exercise, and manual therapies to support
recovery, optimal joint mechanics, and injury prevention.
“We’re honored to support athletes like Bub Means,” said Dr. Rueben Carter, founder of
NOLA Spine Care. “But we’re just as committed to the thousands of everyday New
Orleanians who walk through our doors — because every client deserves gold-standard
care, whether they’re preparing for gameday or just trying to feel their best.”
With over 3,000 patients served and 235+ five-star Google reviews, NOLA Spine Care
stands as one of New Orleans’ most trusted chiropractic clinics. The team also proudly
accepts Louisiana Medicaid and most major insurance plans, ensuring quality care is
accessible to all.
This isn’t the first time a high-profile athlete has sought care at NOLA Spine Care —
legendary wide receiver Terrell Owens also made a visit while in town for Super Bowl
LIX (Instagram photo here). These appearances reflect a growing trend among NFL
players seeking precise, sports-science-informed chiropractic support from providers
who understand the demands of their bodies and their careers.
For athletes like Bub Means, staying at the top of their game and preventing injury starts
with the right support team — and at NOLA Spine Care, that team is right here in New
Orleans.
