Our Approach
Evidence-Based, Personalized, and Transparent Care
We take a patient-first approach built on personalization, accountability, and education — so you always understand your treatment and progress.
Personalized, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Your personalized recovery plan runs about 4–6 weeks, then we reassess and adjust until your pain is resolved.
Financially Accountable — Your Insurance Comes First
We use your health insurance or VA Community Care first. You’ll only receive medically necessary tests — no cash plans or sales-driven memberships.
Education focused - Understand Your Pain
We teach you what triggers your pain and how to stop it. By understanding your habits and body mechanics, you can prevent pain from returning.

Fantastic chiropractor. I've been going here for 5+ years now and drive all the way across St. Pete to go to this office to see Dr Meyers and recommend them to anyone that needs to see a chiropractor... Their physical therapist is amazing as is the massage therapist.
I have been going to Dr. Hilton at Bay Injury and Rehab for years. I absolutely love her genuine care and concern regarding any issues that I am having. She is very knowledgeable and won't stop until she gets to the root of the matter. My entire family goes in to see her and at this point, she is part of my family.
Highly recommend for any chiropractic needs. Front desk is always friendly and welcoming. MJ(Dr. Hilton) is awesome. She is attentive, caring and genuinely concerned for her patients.
Ann Marie is the best physical therapist I have ever had. Her hands on approach with deep massage and exercise strengthening has been life changing. She is very kind and encouraging and helpful to keep me on track with my exercises! Thank you Ann Marie Sturm!
