I had a fantastic experience at Spine and Sport, thanks to Dr. Nick! After struggling with persistent elbow pain, I decided to give their physical therapy a try, and Iâ€™m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, Dr. Nick and the entire staff were welcoming and professional. He took the time to thoroughly assess my injury, listen to my concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Throughout my sessions, Dr. Nick was attentive, explaining each exercise and its purpose in a way that made everything easy to understand. What really impressed me was his focus on my long-term recovery, not just short-term relief. My elbow pain has significantly improved, and Iâ€™m now back to doing activities I love without discomfort. The environment at Spine and Sport is always positive, and you can tell that Dr. Nick genuinely cares about his patientsâ€™ well-being. Highly recommend this place and Dr. Nick for anyone looking for top-notch PT care!

I came to Dr. Nick 4 weeks post knee surgery and could not be happier with my experience! Nick, Matt, Brian and Mercy are incredibly knowledgeable and have been very accommodating through each step of my recovery. The personalized treatment plan they created was tailored to my needs and made a significant difference in my progress. The facility is very clean, the atmosphere is welcoming and always received 1 on 1 attention. I was referred to Spine and Sport Dana Point based on a friends good experience, and would highly recommend to anyone needing physical therapy or rehab!

Dr. Nick and staff have been very helpful in treating my low back pain with physical therapy. Dr. Nick gave me confidence that Iâ€™ll be feeling better after sticking with the routine over some time. Matt and Brian have been helpful with the muscle release as well as with my exercise protocol. I recommend for anything PT related!

I have used other physical therapists in San Clemente and Dana Point, but this place has been my favorite. Nick is my physical therapist and he explains the anatomy so I can understand what Iâ€™m trying to accomplish and better understand my injury. His sense of humor makes it fun to work with him. I feel like I am in the best hands here. Highly recommend.

Commonly Asked Questions & What to Expect During Your PT Treatment

Thanks to direct access, we can see any patient without a referral from a doctor for an initial evaluation. If our therapists believe that physical therapy is a good option for your needs, we can work with you and your physician to obtain a prescription for continued care. If your diagnosis requires additional expertise, we can also refer you to a specialist to handle your care.

For your first visit, be sure to bring the following items:

Prescription for physical therapy from your referring physician (if applicable)
Government issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license)
Insurance card(s)
Patient forms, which can be downloaded from this site in PDF format. Print and fill out the forms completely and bring them during your first visit.
Patients who are minors (under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for their first visit.

During your first visit, your therapist will perform a thorough examination, in which he or she will review your physician’s recommendations, examine the problem area, ask questions about your injury or pain, develop an effective treatment plan for rehabilitation, discuss their findings with you and answer any questions you may have. Your treatment plan may include hands-on, manual therapy, a customized exercise program, stretching and physical agents such as heat, ice, ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Your physical therapist may also recommend a home program to further assist in your treatment.

Your first appointment will typically last from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your injury. Following appointments usually last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the treatment. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your appointment for check-in and paperwork. You can also download our patient forms, which can be filled out beforehand and brought with to your appointment.

The frequency of your treatment will depend on your physician’s prescription and the plan of care developed by your physical therapist. Most patients require treatment two to three times per week. The duration of treatment will depend on your injury and personal progress. Your physical therapist will discuss this with you following your initial exam and subsequently as you progress.

We accept most major insurances including Medicare, Tricare and workers’ compensation plans. Before your initial visit, we will verify in and out of network benefits with your insurance company. The cost of therapy is determined by the benefits of your insurance plan, including the deductible and co-pay, or patient percentage. We are happy to check with your insurance company to determine the terms of your coverage. Payment for patient responsibility is due at the time of service.

We are proud to offer complimentary injury screenings with one of our certified licensed specialists who will discuss your area of discomfort and offer suggestions for next steps in care, if appropriate. For your convenience, consultations will last no longer than 15 minutes and are available over the phone or in person. To request a complimentary screening, after entering your ZIP code in the location look up, simply select 'Free Consultation' and proceed to fill out your information.
