The practice also sees patients recovering from personal injury, auto accidents and work injuries, as well as people with sports injuries from running, training or weekend games.
How Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Work Together
NOVA's approach is to combine chiropractic care, physical therapy and functional medical services in one practice. The idea is simple: your pain is different from anyone else's, so your treatment should be too. Some patients do very well with a few specific treatments. Others need a more comprehensive plan.
Depending on your exam, care may include:
- Chiropractic care to restore joint motion in the spine and extremities
- Physical therapy to build strength, posture and movement control
- Dry needling for trigger points and muscle pain, usually combined with exercise and other conservative care
- Active Release Technique for restricted soft tissue
The practice's physical therapist, Jeannie Koulizakis, MSPT, has extensive experience with runners, including marathoners and triathletes, and with injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles problems, IT band syndrome and knee pain. She also works with shoulder, back and neck pain in functional fitness athletes. Dr. Erik A. Ward, DC, CSCS, CCSP, has been helping patients through chiropractic care and physical rehabilitation since 1997. Ask the office which providers are scheduled at Purcellville when you book.
When It Is Time to Book an Evaluation
Plenty of aches settle in a few days with rest and gentle movement. Others hang on, come back every few weeks, or slowly change the way you move. It is a good time to have a professional look at the problem when:
- Pain has lasted more than a week or two without clear improvement
- Pain travels from your back into a leg, or from your neck into an arm
- You notice numbness, tingling or weakness
- The same injury keeps returning every time you get back to running, training or yard work
- Pain started after a car accident, a fall or an injury at work
- You have started avoiding everyday tasks, such as lifting a child or sleeping on one side
Waiting is not always harmful, but long-standing pain often changes how you move, and those compensations can create new problems in nearby joints. An early exam can help sort out what is going on and what kind of care makes sense. If anything feels like an emergency, such as sudden severe weakness or loss of bladder or bowel control, go to the emergency room first.
NOVA's dry needling page explains one reason the practice combines several approaches. Continued activity with poor muscle function may lead to further tissue damage and more pain, so the plan looks at tissue healing and function, not only at how much it hurts today. Dry needling is not meant to replace physical therapy. It tends to work best alongside conservative care such as therapy and manipulation, and your provider will tell you whether you are a good candidate.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit starts with paperwork and a full medical history. To save time, you can complete the new patient forms online on the New Patient Forms page before you arrive.
Next comes an examination to find the source of the pain, followed by an explanation of what the team found and what they recommend. The goal is lasting relief and an understanding of how to keep the problem from coming back. Many patients notice meaningful relief within the first few visits, though every case is different.
Bring these with you if you have them:
- Your insurance card and photo ID
- A list of medications
- Any imaging reports or notes from other providers
- A short note on when the pain started and what makes it worse
