SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy

SpineScottsdale is the place to go for physical therapy since the spine is their sole focus. Shane Sullivan is extremely knowledgeable and runs a tight ship. Shane and his excellent and caring staff take the time to explain in detail what the patient’s problems are and why certain exercises are prescribed. I will definitely return to SpineScottsdale if I need PT for my spine again.

Shane Sullivan is amazing, and the practice he created is top-​notch. Many folks are in pain when they come in. Both he and the staff have such a caring approach, but even more so, they know their stuff! Shane can be very entertaining, too, but mostly, he’s an impressive, well-​educated, even brilliant medical practitioner — someone you want in your corner!
I have now started going to him for osteo-​training and strengthening.

I normally don’t write reviews of professional practices, but I was in a difficult place when I first came here.
You see, I couldn’t move my neck and I was screaming with pain which modern drugs could only muffle, but not fix. And my surgeon? He was sharpening his knives so to speak. I’ve been down this road before with other body issues and I was hoping to learn from my previous experiences.
You see, surgeons always opt for the surgical remedy, which I understand and can respect. But the «process» requires an medical ombudsman, which in this case was my GP before going under the knife
PT Shane Sullivan and his staff at SpineScottsdale saved me from an operation and now I’ve learned how to avoid my discomfort in the future. Thank you, Shane!

This is the place to go if you have an injured spine. I have been improving greatly each visit. The staff is professional, and kind. They have been treating my immediate injury/​pain as well as evaluating my progress frequently to make modifications to my treatment. You may not always get the same Physical Therapist each visit, but each one is familiar with my case, and treatment. Highly recommend this establishment, I can see why my General Physician recommended it to me.

Went here for a bad back and was sorely disappointed. The owner refused to shake my hand and was a complete ass. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

I am writing this update to reflect my latest experience at Scottsdale Spine. My last treatment was December 19^th. and as usual I had less pain after the session. When I woke up on December 22^nd. I was amazed that I was able to walk and move with almost zero discomfort. It is now 14 days later and I feel virtually pain free. I must say I am delighted with my situation and believe there would never have been such an improvement without the help from Scottsdale Spine. I am continuing to do the exercises that I learned during my therapy sessions. Hopefully I will not have any setbacks regarding my back issues, however if I do I will certainly return to Scottsdale Spine for more therapy.
Recently I was telling a neighbor of mine about my experience and he had also been a client there and was totally impressed with Shane and his staff as well.

My first time her as referred by a friend. I injured my SI joint badly and have had extreme sciliac nerve pain for 3 weeks. Shane is brilliant and recognized the issue after my exam and gave me homework exercises which relieved the pain after the first day! I am so happy

Shane is great. His staff is wonderful. Always greeted with a sunny smile from Kat. Everyone is helpful and attentive to your needs — even when they fluctuate from session to session. They are helping me strengthen my lower back to continue to remain mobile through arthritis. After my experience there I am now taking my elderly Mother for physical therapy with Shane and the rest in hopes she will regain some strength, gain balance, and attain the posture she desperately wants to have back.

Shane and his team are top notch.

Front desk staff likes to help without a smile… They are the first contact with this establishment. A little smile would be nice. They’re all young and just plain inexperience.
Scheduling staff is very efficient and very helpful, they work with you and give you all the info needed.
The doctors and PA’s are awesome! They know what they’re talking about and when asked for a clearer, in layman’s terms explanation, they take the time to explain what the problem is and how they are planning to resolve the problem.
Now if we can only improve on the reception issue… :)

Great clinician — provides care according to the current best clinical evidence. Many don’t. If you you a spine problem, Dr. Shane Sullivan is a great choice!

I was referred to SpineScottsdale by my neurologist for chronic head and neck pain. The staff (Emily, Gina and Brittany) are very friendly and I was always taken in for my appointments on time. I didn’t know what to expect and Shane (the Physical Therapist) explained all the movements, step by step and I could tell I was in very good hands. At first my pain levels went up and down but Shane was reassuring and I continued to follow his instruction. I have completed my series of treatment and am happy to say I feel it has been successful! I no longer have pain everyday the way I used to.
I’m am very grateful to Shane and know you will be too!

I had a badly sprained foot back in ’97. Shane worked with me over the course of about 2mos to rehabilitate my foot. His knowledge of physical therapy was rock solid back then and his personality made the appointments actually enjoyable. I highly recommend his services if you have an injury which requires PT.
