Vista Healthcare’s Sports Spine and Injury Center (SSIC) is not your average chiropractic or physical therapy office. It offers a unique, integrated approach to healing right in the heart of St. George, Utah. Led by chiropractor Russ Jepson, DC, and care, physical therapy, advanced therapeutic massage techniques, and access to medical specialists in one convenient location. This allows them to address a wide range of issues—including chronic pain, sports injuries, concussions, and post-surgical care— without sending their patients around town or making them wait months to see other specialists.
“We have pain management providers, neurologists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists all in one building to help you with your injuries, chronic pain, or acute pain,” explained Dr. Jepson. “It’s very unusual to have all these providers working together to care for you and get you back to feeling your best. We’re passionate about coordinating care.”
Patients truly benefit from this collaborative approach. The end goal is always to get patients back to feeling their best as quickly as possible.
The process starts with a comprehensive exam by one of the providers in the therapy clinic. Based on the evaluation’s findings, a treatment plan will be created that may involve some of the other talented specialists in the building, including Dr. Jepson (chiropractic care), Dr. Allen (neurology), Dr. Amber Majeskie (physical therapy), or our pain management specialists, including Dr. Christensen. Having a diverse team of specialists under one roof not only streamlines care but also saves valuable time, which is critical when managing pain or an injury.
One of the most distinctive aspects of SSIC is their special interest in treating car accident injuries, and the combination of chiropractic care, physical therapy, pain management, neurology, and massage in one location makes them uniquely suited to do just that.
Because many injuries are not immediately apparent, Dr. Jepson and his team encourage patients to visit them for an evaluation as soon as possible after an accident. They have resources available to help patients document their injuries. Health insurance won’t typically cover treatment until auto insurance coverage has been exhausted, but no matter who is at fault, the team at SSIC can work with auto insurance adjusters or attorneys to ensure each patient gets the care they need.
The Vista Healthcare Sports Spine and Injury Center is equipped to help patients with a wide range of ailments, including:
Neck and back pain
Sports and auto accident injuries
Headaches, balance, coordination challenges, and concussions
Pre- and post-surgical care
Specialized treatments for bulging and herniated discs

Dr. Russ Jepson, DC, a three-time Best of Southern Utah gold medal winner for Best Chiropractor, earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University and holds dual bachelor's degrees in Anatomy and Health and Wellness.
