Dr. Michael Shnappauf and Dr. Stephen Ward opened the doors of their practice, Sandy Lake Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, back in November of 1996. “When we originally start our office, we were small operation,” says Dr. Shnappauf. “As we’ve expanded, we’ve improved, and even changed our name to Core Physical Medicine to accommodate out multiple locations.” These days, all of their offices are filled with state-of-the-art equipment, both diagnostic and rehabilitative.
Our CORE belief system is optimizing your health through mainstream quality care
Advanced Treatment Techniques
Core Physical Medicine, as Dr. Schnappauf puts it, “has really evolved with the ever changing needs of our communities in terms of new innovations in treatment like spinal decompression therapy, the cold laser, and the implementation of the latest in performance enhancement protocols. Further, we have opened three other fully functional locations in Las Colinas, Flwoer Mound, and most recently Keller,” Dr. Ward, Shnappauf, Griffeth, Brown, Frye, and Deevers treat people of all ages, fro one year old to seniors. “We specialize in the treatment of all joint dysfunction including: neck, shoulder, lower back, hip and knee pain, whiplash, capral tunnel syndrome, and headaches.” Our mission is to provide Coppell, Valley Ranch, Las Colinas, Flower Mound, Keller and all neighboring areas with quality mainstream that is maintaining the mobility and stability of the joint through soft tissue integrity.”
What makes Core Physical Medicine different? All of the doctors are Core complete more than 1oo hours of post graduate continuing education each per year. It keeps the doctors current on what’s out there; the latest techniques and treatments.” Core Physical Medicine also offers patients opulently designed offices with state-of-art equipment, including unique neurodiagnostic testing which Dr. Ward says, “no one else offers.”
“We’re involved from the initial, acute care of all the way through to the end stage rehabilitation. We’re also proud of the fact that our work is all hands on,” says Dr. Ward. Each patient is given an individualized treatment plan, not a generic protocol. The doctors see to it that the “work gets done, and done right!’ As is were, all of the patient rehabilitation is performed right in their facility.
State-of-the-art Facilities

Another advantage of Core Physical Medicine is that each office is co-located with a family practice group. “This is no coincidence,” says Dr. Ward. “Our current set up maximizes patient convenience as all services medical, chiropractic, and rehabilitative are offered under one roof.” This also encourages communication between all the doctors and staff so that everyone is working towards a common goal: focused patient care. Dr. Shnappauf relates, ” This multidisciplinary approach has been very well received at all of our locations and our treatment results speak for themselves.” Core Physical Medicines accepts all private insurance plans, self pay, workers’ compensation, and even personal injury. “We strive to make every aspect of your experience at our offices enjoyable, even the stuff nobody likes to deal with – like insurance,” indicates Vivian Knox, Director of Operations. The professional staff at Core is able and ready to exceed your expectations. “We’re here for you!” add Vivian.
Core Physical Medicine offers quality care by a divers group of professionals and staff with one goal: assisting patients in achieving a healthier life.
Compassion
Lastly, all the doctors are involved in sports themselves. They enjoy weightlifting, competitive wrestling/jiu jitsu, volleyball, ice hockey, tennis, triathlons, golf and boxing. “Our participation in athletics allows us a complete appreciation of sport related injuries. Most of us have experienced first-had many of the injuries that we treat daily. Also, we at Core Physical Medicine treat the gamut of our local Moms as well as a stable of over sixty-two professional athletes, and local middle and high school athletes. With both licensed Chiropractor and physical therapists on staff, Core Physical Medicine provides outstanding care for the full spectrum of athletically induced injuries. Dr. Ward adds, “Let our team treat your team.”
