Become a New Patient at Limitless Spine & Joint Care

You stopped waking up rested three months ago. You’ve rearranged your life around the chair that doesn’t hurt, the angle you have to sleep in, the stairs you now take one at a time. Whatever brought you to this page, the goal is the same: get back to living the way you did before the pain showed up — and do it without a revolving door of pills or a rushed surgical consult.

That’s what becoming a new patient at Limitless Spine & Joint Care is designed to do. Below is what the first visit actually looks like, what to bring, and how to book.

Why patients choose Limitless

We’re an integrated clinic in Morganville, NJ offering chiropractic care, physical therapy, and acupuncture under a single roof and on a single treatment plan. That’s the short version. The longer version is that it matters — a lot — when the source of your pain spans more than one discipline.

• Same-day appointments. If you call in the morning, we usually have a slot for you that afternoon.
• Free insurance verification before you arrive. Send us a photo of your card and we’ll confirm what’s covered, what your copay will run, and whether a referral is needed.
• Multidisciplinary care. Dr. Rick Caban (Chiropractor) and Dr. Robert Perniola (Physical Therapist) read the same chart and build one plan together. No duplicated exams, no ping-ponging between offices.
• Local to Morganville, Marlboro, Old Bridge, and Monmouth County. Our patients come from across the area because integrated care like this is genuinely hard to find.
• Honest timelines. You’ll leave the first visit knowing what’s going on, roughly how many visits it should take, and what “done” looks like.

What happens at your first visit

Plan on 45 to 60 minutes — long enough to do this well, short enough that you’re not stuck in our waiting room.

1. Paperwork and benefits. You can fill out the intake form online before you arrive; we verify your insurance so your copay is confirmed when you walk in.
2. Detailed history. When did the pain start? What makes it worse? What have you already tried? What’s the goal — run a 5K again, sleep through the night, sit through a meeting without fidgeting? We ask because the answers shape the plan.
3. Movement and neurological exam. Range-of-motion testing, orthopedic tests, reflex checks, and nerve-root screening. If relevant, we add a computerized range-of-motion assessment and a posture screen.
4. Digital X-rays if clinically appropriate. On-site, no separate imaging center visit, no waiting for results.
5. Diagnosis and treatment plan. We sit down, show you what we found in plain language, and lay out the plan — what disciplines are involved, how often you’ll come in, and how long it’s expected to take.
6. First treatment, same day in most cases. You don’t lose a week waiting to start.

Conditions we resolve

Our new patients most commonly come in for lower back pain, sciatica, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and migraines, herniated and bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, auto-injury whiplash, post-surgical rehab, sports injuries, and peripheral neuropathy. If you’re not sure whether what you have is something we treat, call us — we’ll tell you honestly, and refer elsewhere if it’s not.

Meet your care team

Dr. Rick Caban, DC is a Doctor of Chiropractic with a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences. He’s Chiropractic Biophysics trained, Gonstead-certified, and holds TPI Medical Level 3 and SFMA Level 2 credentials. Patients who want precise, evidence-based adjustments (and the option of a gentler, instrument-assisted technique) are well-matched with Dr. Caban.

Dr. Robert Perniola, DPT is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and New Jersey board-certified. He’s McKenzie Method certified, with deep experience in orthopedic rehab, sports medicine, running mechanics, and post-surgical recovery. He’s the reason our patients tend to stay better after they graduate from care.

Both founded the practice together, and both still see patients every day.
