At Forward Spine and Sport, the doctor you see for your physical rehabilitation is a D.C. – a doctor of chiropractic.
Wait, what?
Why am I seeing a chiropractor? I don’t need my back cracked, I need physical rehab.
You are an individual seeking rehabilitative care. Colloquially, people call it “going to PT.” At Forward, we call it “physical rehab.” But no matter what you call it, if you need rehabilitative work, you can do it with us.
In the world of evidence-based care, a good chiropractor and a good physical therapist provides you with the same high-quality, effective physical rehabilitation.
And guess what – we have the best, most knowledgeable chiropractic doctors you can find.
At Forward, your treatment plan is always tailored to you – your current physical and mental state, your limitations and lifestyle, and your desired outcomes.
(And if you do need your back cracked, we do that too!)
So, what should I expect?
You can expect everything you would from any physical rehabilitation clinic, and more, including:
Personalized Treatment Plans
We develop individualized programs that address your unique needs and goals. Your treatment can include things like soft tissue or joint manipulation, strength training exercises, needling or shockwave, and more.
Evidence-Informed Practices
Our treatments are grounded in the latest scientific research to ensure effective outcomes.
Empowerment Through Education
We educate and empower you to take an active role in your recovery and long-term health. Our patients leave here more informed and better prepared for the demands life places on our bodies.
So, it’s all the same?
As far as the outcome of your physical rehabilitation goes, yes. Evidence is evidence and movement is movement.
Insurance companies, however, do differentiate based on license. So, if you are using your insurance to cover your appointment costs at Forward, you’ll need to check with your insurance provider for costs and fees associated with “Chiropractic,” as opposed to “Physical Therapy.”
Your Treatment May Include…
-
Rehabilitative Exercises & Movement
Pain doesn’t just happen—it’s the result of movement patterns your brain controls. We focus on improving those patterns by dialing in your body’s mobility, stability, and strength. The goal? Relieve pain and tackle its root cause with functional movement that works for you.
-
Neurodynamic Mobilization
Your nervous system can throw a wrench in how you move and feel, causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or even that “electric” zap. Neurodynamic mobilization uses nerve-specific exercises to free up compressed or sensitive nerves, helping them move—and you feel—like they should.
-
Soft-Tissue Therapy
Muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, fascia—your soft tissue can hold the key to pain relief. We use targeted techniques like manual therapy (deep tissue, pin-and-stretch, myofascial work) or instrument-assisted tools (like cupping or needling) to get you moving better, faster.
-
Joint Manipulation
Joint manipulation (aka adjustments) uses quick, controlled movements to restore motion and reduce pain. Prefer a slower approach? Joint mobilizations can gently coax your joints back into action. It’s not just for spines—we work on arms, legs, and more.
-
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, (also called Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT)), delivers an evidence-based, non-surgical solution for patients suffering from chronic soft tissue pain. Shockwave can effectively treat acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain and/or pain that significantly impairs mobility or quality of life.
