At QC Rehab located in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Shadia's purpose is to help patients/athletes train and compete at their optimal performance. You shouldn't be defined by your injuries, and everyone deserves to live a life free of injury and pain.

how we can work together

  • Hands on muscle work, soft tissue mobilization: hands on work to release muscle tension and pain.

  • Treatment with manual therapy and exercises and/or equipment specially designed to facilitate the process of recovery from an injury. 

  • Western based medicine, using dry needles into the muscle to increase blood flow, improve circulation, decrease pain.

  • Practice using suction on the skin to improve blood flow and circulation.

  • Facilitate recovery post surgery, following specific guidelines to re-establish and improve range of motion and strengthen the muscles around the surgical site.

  • Physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle.

what to expect at your first QC visit

You made an appointment with me. I am so excited to meet with you.

​What's next?! Great question! Once all your information is in the system, you will get an email to fill out the New Patient Paperwork before your appointment.

Each session will start from a bottom-up approach, I will look at everything from your stance, your squat, and your range of motion. I will do special tests and a full assessment. I don't just want you to feel better during the session, I want you to feel better after. I want to find the cause of your pain and find a solution.

faqs

    • Actually, we are an out of network practice, and that’s a really good thing. We do this on purpose because it gives us the freedom to give you the exact care you need and complete price transparency.

    • This is what allows us to stay away from being another one of those high-volume clinics. It also allows us to spend more time with the client and create very individualized care.

    • That being said, you can absolutely check your insurance benefits. Some of our clients do get reimbursed for a portion of our fees, if not the entire amount. We also accept HSA or FSA as payment if you have those.

  • Once the inquiry is received, we reach out within 24-48 hours for a free consultation to briefly get to know you, answer immediate questions, and discuss next steps. Once booking an appointment, an intake form will be emailed for new clients to complete. This helps us learn your specific goals. We make this process clear and tailored to your individual needs from day one.

  • Something comfortable that you can move in and something that allows me to get to what's hurting you. If it is your knee, please wear shorts. If its your shoulder, please wear a sport bra or a loose fitting tank top.

  • We ask you book at least 1-2 weeks in advance to ensure you get your preferred time. We understand life happens and we do our best to accommodate last minute needs whenever possible.

    • We do recognize that extenuating circumstances occur and exceptions to this policy may be made on a case-by-case basis.

    • QUEEN CITY REHAB requires 24-hour notice for cancelling or rescheduling an appointment.

    • Appointments which are missed or cancelled less than 24 hours in advance will result in a $100.00 cancellation fee.

    • Two consecutive no-shows will result in the cancellation of all remaining scheduled appointments.

    • Frequent cancelled/rescheduled appointments may result in the loss of any remaining appointments as this time may be given to other clients. You will be given advanced notice via phone or email if this is to occur.

    • While we do offer single sessions, our package plans are available for 8 or 12 sessions. These are designed to save you money and support long-term progress.

    • The plans can be paid in increments throughout the duration of the package sessions.
