Legal help for personal injury claims
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, on the job, or due to someone’s negligence, you likely need a personal injury lawyer to help get you the compensation you’re entitled to. After an accident, people are often confused as to how they will pay for treatment and what they are entitled to receive. You’re entitled to have reasonable treatment paid by the responsible party or their insurance carrier.

These tests can be administered no matter age, sport, or fitness level.
Our Team
Todd Neighbor, PT, LAT
Todd has over 15 years of outpatient orthopedic experience. He graduated from the University of Iowa in 2003 with a masters in physical therapy. Before that, Todd attended Iowa State University where he was a student athletic trainer for the football and baseball teams.
The treatment philosophy of Todd and his practice is deeply rooted in his Christian faith. Therefore, he feels that everyone is a unique individual with a purpose and should be treated as such throughout their rehabilitation. This philosophy took a huge boost after he was diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis, an autoimmune disease. That, coupled with a few other events, has sent Todd on a knowledge journey that goes beyond the traditional realms of physical therapy . Now, he strives to incorporate his new found knowledge of Integrative Medicine and Pain Neuroscience into his practice.
Todd is blessed to have a wonderful wife and eight amazing children. His spare time is spent being with his family and shaping their lives to be more Christ-like.
Diana Franklin, PTA, LAT
Diana studied athletic training at the University of Iowa and graduated in 2005. After working at a local high school and in a clinical setting, she returned to school to become a physical therapist assistant. She graduated with a physical therapist assistant degree from Kirkwood Community College in 2011 and has been working in a clinical setting ever since.
Diana grew up in a small town north of Cedar Rapids and has continued to live there since finishing college. She lives with her husband and three dogs on a small acreage in the country, where she enjoys time with family and friends, yoga, gardening (mostly vegetables), canning and cooking, reading and walking her dogs.
Angie McCormick, PT, NC, CSCS, Pilates Instructor
As a Physical Therapist for more than 13 years, Angie has worked with all populations in outpatient and skilled therapy settings. She is also a Balanced Body Pilates instructor and has received specialized training in nutrition. Her professional expertise and personal experience with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) enables her to help clients through pain relief, nutrition and life skills to reach new levels they didn’t think were possible.
When Angie was diagnosed with RA, she had just given birth to her third child. She could barely lift her son because of the pain. Getting out of a chair was difficult. Medications controlled the arthritis, but the side effects, both short- and long-term, led her to seek other answers. She made lifestyle changes in 2013, incorporating Functional Medicine, nutrient dense food, Pilates and Physical Therapy. Angie is now medication-free and pain-free and has completed multiple athletic events.
Angie believes we were created to thrive in this world, performing the work we were created to perform. Treating the body as a whole is the answer! To that end, she will apply her holistic nutrition certification along with Pilates and Physical Therapy to help each client find their way to his or her healthiest possible life.
