Indy Spine & Rehab

Our chiropractic adjustments restore joint mobility and alleviate pain through precise manual techniques. Doctors use controlled thrusts to improve spinal function and nervous system communication. Patients experience reduced inflammation and muscle tension while regaining range of motion.

ART treatments resolve soft tissue injuries by breaking adhesions in muscles, tendons, and nerves. Certified providers use over 500 protocols to address conditions like carpal tunnel and plantar fasciitis. This evidence-based method often provides permanent relief for athletic and workplace injuries.

Custom rehabilitation programs bridge patients' current capabilities to their activity goals. We develop progressive exercise plans that restore functionality for daily tasks and sports performance while preventing future injuries through movement pattern correction.

Targeted dry needling reduces pain and muscle tension by addressing trigger points in soft tissues. The treatment improves blood flow and neuromuscular function, effectively managing both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions through physiological tissue responses.

This systematic approach classifies spinal disorders through movement assessments. Certified practitioners treat disc herniations and degenerative conditions using directional preference exercises that reduce nerve irritation and restore pain-free mobility patterns.

Dr. Van Matre has magical hands! I have been struggling with very frustrating leg pain for a few years now. After just 3 quick visits, I am 80% cured. Additionally, this practice is very punctual. I have never waited in the lobby for more than 5 minutes. If you have any discomfort or pain and are seeking quick relief, this is your sign to go see if Dr. Van Matre can make it disappear like he did mine!

I was signed up for the Monumental Half Marathon and could only run 4-5 miles because the pain in my backside was to a point that I couldn't run through. I had put off seeking treatment and was afraid my running days were coming to an end but, before I retired my running shoes, I decided to make an appt. with Brian. He came highly recommended and, after doing some research, I decided he would be the best person to get me back to doing what I enjoy.

He is amazing and did not disappoint. I had 3 sessions prior to the race and, not only was I able to run the entire 13.1 miles that I was way under trained for, I ran it pain free and remained pain free afterwards. His approach is great and he provided me techniques to do on my own. I'm still running thanks to you Brian, you are worth the drive from Muncie!

Incredible. Four months of trying to recover from throwing out my back and two visits with Brian and I am almost back to full strength. Best part of all, he doesn't need to see me again. He gave me great instruction on what things to do to maintain. No 3-month care plan and thousands of dollars.

My fiance and I visited Indy Spine & Rehab's booth at the Indy Mini Marathon Expo. Dr. Watters was extremely helpful and attentive. We felt awesome after some adjustments and massages.

I've never had serious back issues before and after multiple visits to a physical therapist and chiropractor, a friend recommended Indy Spine with Brian. I saw him bi-weekly for about two months. I appreciated his specific yet challenging plan for me and I liked his active recovery approach. I would recommend seeing him for any back issues especially if you're an active athlete looking to return to sport ASAP.

Brian Watters is a miracle worker. I went from barely being able to walk and in pain all day, to running and jumping with no pain at all- and it only took two visits. I was in and out in 20 minutes. Definitely recommend- go see him and don't let an injury linger!

I've been seeing Dr. Watters at Indy Spine & Rehab for over a year now, and what a guy! Not only is he just the absolute nicest, he also really knows his stuff. He is extremely patient (and even playful) as I ask 100 questions every time I see him. He offers great advice, and does a great job on helping me be pain free! I don't really have any injuries, I just go to him for tune-ups and the occasional tweaks from working out and CrossFit. His athletic background comes in super handy. He really knows his stuff. And he is so passionate about his craft and his patients. Highly recommend.
