About the DSR Clinic
The DSR Clinic is where you experience the future of rehabilitation. Here you discover how even with your most challenging and complex situation there is reason to hope that change is possible. Someday what happens at the DSR Clinic will be considered the standard of care in rehabilitation.
What makes it difficult to describe today is that as the new way of addressing you as a whole person, there is nowhere else to point to as an example. You can read more about the DSR Method™ , read the many testimonials and take some reassurance from our first visit guarantee. In the end though, the only way to know is to make an investment in your health and schedule an appointment.
The Conditions We Specialize in Treating
We work with a wide variety of health challenges because we address the whole person and their related system influences. While we work with people who have traditional challenges like orthopedic complaints (spine and joint pain, osteoporosis, etc) and neurological complaints (stroke, MS, Parkinson's, etc), we also serve less traditional concerns to include balance disorders, TMJ, headaches, bladder control, chronic pain and other movement disorders.
Our experience has been that very few people have a single isolated challenge. Because we address all of the systems that make up a person's experience, our patients regularly return noting improvement of quality of life in their rest, their level of contentment, and their ability to resume "normal" participation in the activities of life that matter most to them. We also offering DSR Method Group Classes for those who are ready to transition to an ongoing program of healing change education.

Your First Visit
So what is going to happen your first day?
Following the completion of your paperwork, you will meet your therapist and spend some time getting to know one another. During this time the therapist will be also observing how you sit, breathe, rest in your physical body, and your understanding of your current challenges.
Once that is complete, based on those observations the therapist will begin the evaluation and education process, inviting you to notice aspects about how you sit, stand, walk, breathe, and move in general......no bunch of hastily done tests and measurements leaving you to wonder, "Is that important?" or "Is this good or bad?". Rather, from the start the two of you work together learning, discovering and problem solving together. You are free to ask questions or interject more history that comes to mind through the gentle process of movement and observations.
Once the therapist is satisfied that all issues around safety, screening for other causes of your symptoms, and your abilities for safe participation, she/he will discuss a treatment plan with you and get your consent to move ahead with learning your first new movements and habits. All of these will be slow and gentle, but surprisingly when you finish you will note changes already....no waiting three weeks to catch a change. They will also go over what you are to do until the next wsit giving you instructions and handouts, and answering any other questions.
From there they will take you back to the front desk where you can schedule your remaining visits and have any financial questions answered.
Thank you for your trust in letting us work together with you. We look forward to meeting soon!
Insurance and Payment Policy
Our Policy The DSR Clinic accepts and processes original Medicare insurance claims and for all other clients we are a fee for service practice.
Why? Long before the healthcare debate took prominence we saw how the future of rehabilitation was being compromised by the aggressive policies of insurance companies to make collections more difficult and limit payment to increase their profits. We believe that patients should understand their individual insurance policy and therefore take responsibility for getting reimbursed according to their plan. Removing us from the insurance collection process means that there is no compromise of care.
What does that mean for you?
A. Clients with original Medicare benefits will have your claims submitted by the clinic under current benefit cap provisions. Please click here to learn more prior to coming to the clinic.PLEASE NOTE: Effective January 1, 2010 the rules have changed. Please read this summary and contact your congressmen. Click "here" to read.
B. All other clients, to include those with Medicare advantage/replacement plans must pay for services the day they are rendered and will be given the supporting paperwork to submit for direct reimbursement for the service. We guarantee we are worth the extra effort. Please click here to learn more.
