What Our Patients Say

★★★★★ 5.0 · 119 reviews
Auto injury · Herniated disc ★★★★★
I was struggling for years in pain after a severe car accident, resulting in herniated discs and a torn rotator cuff/labrum tear. Avoiding surgery and going to various physical therapy clinics, nothing seemed to help. Dr. Brown, Josh, and Jared are all very knowledgeable and motivating!
Caroline SharkoVerified Google review
Shoulder injury ★★★★★
I spent 15 months with a bad shoulder injury and tried therapy at 2 other clinics, without much improvement. Dr. Brown and the team had a different approach. They were able to find the route cause of my shoulder injury and bring my shoulder back to its original strength and mobility.
Os StuffVerified Google review
Plantar fasciitis · Disc disease ★★★★★
I have been going to Active Health for almost 10 years now. They’ve helped me with everything from curing my plantar fasciitis to fixing issues with my hip with a Wharton’s jelly allograft injection to helping me manage my degenerative disc disease.
Jennifer McAdooVerified Google review
Chronic pain ★★★★★
I love that they don't settle for the typical medical model of pain management, but rather they help you address the root physiological causes of your pain. Dr. Brown patiently answered my 50 million questions, and everyone was invested in helping me take charge of my recovery.

Our Services

One Building.
Every Step of the Plan.

Regenerative medicine, physical therapy, and rehabilitation share one building, so the next step never needs a new referral. Or browse care by condition.

Physical Therapy Services in Jacksonville, FL

Florida is a direct access state, so you can be evaluated and start treatment without a physician referral first. Every plan opens with a movement assessment rather than a protocol, then therapeutic exercise and mobility work in the right sequence. See what the physical therapy program at Bowden Road covers.

Sports medicine clinic in Jacksonville, FL

Care starts with an assessment of the injury and of the system that let it happen: movement screening, strength testing, and hands-on tissue work above and below the sore area. You leave with staged loading and benchmarks to clear before the next phase opens. Explore non-surgical sports injury recovery in Jacksonville.

Physical rehabilitation center in Jacksonville, FL

This is where physical medicine and rehabilitation is staged: postural and structural analysis first, then movement testing, then corrective work, loading, and the demands of your job or your sport. Every phase has an entry requirement you have to meet, and we retest instead of assuming. See how a rehabilitation program is staged here.

Physical therapist in Jacksonville, FL

Christopher T. Brown, DPT trained at Slippery Rock University and performs Active Release Techniques. Joshua Wise, PTA is certified in Corrective Exercise Prescription through NASM. They work alongside Jeffrey D. Lipp, the founder and owner, so one case draws on physical therapy, rehabilitation, and medical care. Meet the clinicians who run your plan.

Medical clinic in Jacksonville, FL

PRP, umbilical cord tissue, joint injections, and OmniWave sit on the medical side. Which one is even a candidate is decided by your diagnosis, not by what is in the building, and sometimes the answer is none of them. Results vary. Read about the regenerative and medical side of the practice.

Three treatments people come to Bowden Road specifically for:

Shockwave Therapy

Acoustic pulses restart repair in chronic tendinopathy, calcific deposits, and tissue that has gone biologically quiet. Start with shockwave therapy for chronic tendon pain.

Umbilical Cord Tissue Injections

A donated tissue allograft, not stem cells, that delivers growth factors into tissue that has stopped healing. Results vary. See how a cord tissue allograft injection works.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

A motorized traction therapy that cycles between distraction and relaxation, intended to lower pressure inside the disc. Read about computer-controlled spinal decompression.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Jeffrey D. Lipp, DC, DACBSP®, FIAMA, is the Founder & Owner. He works alongside Christopher T. Brown, DPT, Joshua Wise, PTA, Jessica Childers, MPH, and Alex Taylor, so a single case can draw on physical therapy, rehabilitation, and medical care without you being handed between practices.

Two things. Every plan starts with a movement evaluation rather than a protocol, so we look at the pattern loading the painful tissue and not only the tissue. And regenerative medicine, physical therapy, and rehabilitation all sit under one roof at Bowden Road, so the next step in a plan does not require a new referral or a new waiting list.

You get an evaluation, not a sales pitch. Your clinician takes your history and your goals, tests how you move, explains in plain language what is driving the symptom, and sends you home with a written plan and a realistic idea of how long it should take. Bring any imaging or operative reports you have.

We are at 6500 Bowden Rd STE 200, Jacksonville, FL 32216, in the Southpoint corridor off I-95. Hours are Monday 10:00am to 5:00pm, Tuesday 7:00am to 3:00pm, Wednesday 7:00am to 12:30pm, Thursday 10:00am to 5:00pm, and Friday 7:00am to 3:00pm. We are closed Saturday and Sunday. Call (904) 296-0202 to be seen.

For eligible physical therapy and rehabilitation services, yes: Aetna, BCBS, United Healthcare, Tricare, Humana, UMR, and Medicare. Spinal decompression is never covered by insurance, and elective regenerative treatments such as PRP and umbilical cord tissue injections are self-pay. Call (904) 296-0202 and we will verify your specific plan and tell you which parts of a proposed plan it covers.
