Thank You!
I would like to thank all of the patients that I have cared for over the past 12 years while practicing in Washington DC. It has been an honor that you trusted me with your health. I cannot begin to tell how much this has meant to me. That being said, it is time for me to start a new adventure in my life. My family and I will be moving to London, England in the middle of February and will be staying there for at least the next three years. If you have not had the chance to meet her yet Dr. Deborah Atkins will be running the clinic in my absence. Dr. Atkins will continue to treat all patients in a similar manner that I have in the past. I hope that you continue to entrust your health to her. All forms of communication and office procedures will continue as they were with me. Once again, thank you for 12 wonderful years.
Welcome Dr. Deborah Atkins

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic WISPC will be moving office spaces as of January 2021. The new address will be 621 14th St NE, Unit B, Washington, DC 20002. We understand that this may no longer be a viable option for some patients. However, to ensure that the practice stays open we needed to find a smaller more affordable space.

Welcome to Washington Injury & Sports Performance Clinic - DC's premier chiro, soft tissue, and pain management practice!
At our Pain Management Clinic, we help improve your quality of life by customizing care to YOUR needs. We focus on the CAUSE, not the SYMPTOM. Standing between body pain and your improved quality of life is the body’s protective layer of defense – Soft Tissue. The soft connective tissue located just under the skin wraps the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels, and plays a critical role in 95% of injuries.
Whether you’ve just suffered an acute injury, undergone surgical intervention, suffer from chronic pain, or simply experience body pain from work, WISPC Therapy utilizes precision methods to resolve the cause of your pain. Our innovative Active Release (A.R.T) and Graston Techniques, combined with Chiropractic adjustments, address soft tissue and alignment issues. These methods produce quantifiable results – opening your body’s channels to renewed health: EFFECTIVE + PRECISION + TREATMENT.
Our comprehensive portfolio of treatment methods address the cause of your pain:
- Soft Tissue Treatment - Active Release (A.R.T.) & Graston Technique
- Chiropractic - Alignment & Adjustments
- Dry Needling
- MLS Cold Laser Technology - laser light treatment diminishes inflammation and blocks pain signals
- Cupping Therapy
- Kinesio Taping (KT)
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Pain Management Solutions - CBD massage creams
- Physical Therapy & Sports Performance plans
We evaluate your current body pain to determine the underlying causes, map out a customized treatment plan, consistently re-assess progress, and collaborate with you to create a compatible home care plan to stay healthy, injury free, and PAIN FREE. Our goal is to treat your body so you get back to the activities you love - we'll keep you moving!
