Spier Physical Therapy Opens Clinic In Neligh

A Norfolk-based physical therapy company recently opened a new office in Neligh.

Spier Physical Therapy, owned by Mark Spier, is now located at 413 Main St. in Neligh, known as the Creekwood Chiropractic building.

He said when the opportunity to branch out into Neligh presented itself and he jumped at the chance.

“Dr. Thor (owner of the Creekwood building) called me up one day and explained the situation,” Spier said. “I had been in Neligh before and I liked going there. I like the people there.”

He said Creekwood is still looking to bring in a chiropractor as well.

“I hope to build it up,” Spier said.

A graduate of Pacific University in Forest Grove, Ore., he earned a Master’s of Science degree in physical therapy in 1991. Spier moved to Norfolk in 1995 and eventually started his own business in 2001. Spier Physical Therapy moved into its new Norfolk location at 3200 Raasch Ave., in 2010, and the business also has a Stanton location. Spier and his wife Jolene have three children–Sydney, Hunter and Jett.

Spier said he finalized things at the Neligh office on June 4 and saw his first patient on June 11.

His services include all types of physical therapy, including “orthopedic outpatient physical therapy in general.”

“I mostly help those with back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain,” he said. “But pretty much anything from head to toe. We do a lot of therapy for sports injuries too.”

Spier said, due to the numerous physical therapist companies in Norfolk, it’s very competitive.

“But competition breeds excellence,” he said. “We have to be the best at everything we do. In our marketing we say, ‘Getting you back to work, to play, to living.’ We give quality care and try to make it a fun atmosphere.”

Spier Physical Therapy is open in Neligh 1 to 5 p.m. on Mondays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays or by appointment by calling 402-371-2722.
