Our Story
Gina Sandoval, PT, DPT, CEASIII
Founder of Spine Solutions
The inspiration behind Spine Solutions began when Gina Sandoval was just 13 years old. Her father, a sheet metalist, became seriously ill, leaving the family uncertain about his ability to return to work. The fear and insecurity of that time left a lasting impression, instilling a deep passion for helping workers stay healthy and employed—a passion that ultimately led to the creation of Spine Solutions.
Gina believes that keeping people healthy and working is essential—not just for business success but for families to provide and thrive. A strong workforce supports both individual households and the broader community.
After earning a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy, Gina traveled across the U.S. as a physical therapist, much like traveling nurses, gaining exposure to diverse industries and work environments. While completing her Doctorate, she continued hands-on work in the field, further refining her expertise in workplace injury prevention and rehabilitation.
Her journey led her to establish her first clinics in New Mexico before working as a physical therapist at Boeing’s headquarters in Seattle. There, she observed real-world job practices on airplanes, implementing safety protocols and treating employees across all roles—from custodians to pilots. It was in this environment that she developed the vision for Spine Solutions, shaping it into the full-service, health-enabling company it is today.
What Sets Spine Solutions Apart
Traditional physical therapy focuses on restoring health after an injury. While Spine Solutions provides rehabilitation, it goes beyond by addressing both prevention and recovery, tailored to the specific physical demands of each job. Just as athletes train differently based on their sport, workers have unique physical requirements—whether they are roofers, security guards, chefs, or accountants. Recognizing these differences from the start ensures workers return to full duty with improved skills and a greater awareness of job mechanics, allowing them to work smarter, not harder.
A Proactive Approach to Workforce Health
Hiring the right person safely from the start is critical. Spine Solutions partners with companies to implement preventative injury programs that minimize downtime and maximize workplace safety. When injuries do occur, the company provides tailored recovery plans that evaluate an individual’s abilities and ensure a sustainable return to work.
This comprehensive approach includes:
-
Defining precise job descriptions that outline the physical demands of each role
-
Assisting with pre-hire evaluations and job function matching
-
Conducting ergonomic assessments and routine workplace walkthroughs
-
Customizing return-to-work programs that fully assess recovery and workplace re-integration
By prioritizing injury prevention and effective rehabilitation, Spine Solutions helps businesses reduce workers’ compensation claims, lower insurance costs, and build a more confident, productive workforce.
The Spine Solutions Commitment
A healthy workforce is a thriving workforce. Spine Solutions is dedicated to keeping employees moving, ensuring companies can operate efficiently while supporting the well-being of their teams.
Let Spine Solutions help you experience a better solution.
In health and abundance,
Dr. Gina Sandoval, PT, DPT, CEASIII
