Dr. Paulina Reiban, DC completed her four-year chiropractic degree with honors at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Ontario, Canada. She also completed her four-year undergraduate degree with honors at Western University in Ontario, Canada and double majored in Physiology and Pharmacology/Toxicology. 

After spending nearly ten years as a chiropractor in Ontario, Canada, Dr. Reiban brought her knowledge and experience to the team at SportsMed, Paramus. Early in her career, she developed an interest in myofascial techniques to treat muscular pain, and trained in massage therapy to further enhance her chiropractic treatments. In addition to treating neck and back pain, she also focuses on treating upper and lower extremities, including shoulders, knees, hands, and feet as part of her appreciation for overall musculoskeletal well-being. She uses a diverse set of tools and techniques including Kinesiotape, postural education, instrument assisted soft tissue therapy (IAST) and PNF stretching, to name a few.

Dr. Reiban loves helping her patients move and function better, and works closely with the physical therapists, aides, and other providers to give her patients the best care possible. Through her practice, she has helped children with developmental delays, young athletes, weekend warriors, expectant mothers, and seniors. She tailors her techniques to the needs of each individual and provides evidence-based plans of care to guide her patients through their recovery.

Dr. Reiban is fascinated by languages, multicultural cuisines and travel. This may be in part to her own diverse upbringing, being born and raised in Ecuador until the age of nine, and then immigrating to Canada with her family. It was there where she developed her career and met her first love and high school sweetheart. They now have a young son, dog, and three cats, aka Divas. When she’s not in the office, you’ll probably find Dr. Reiban at a local food festival or a hidden gem restaurant in your very own town!

Julia Cho, OTR/L has her master’s degree in Occupational Therapy and has clinical experience in mental healthcare, inpatient rehabilitation, and outpatient rehabilitation. She is especially interested in hand therapy. 

Julia believes the most fulfilling part of being an occupational therapist is when patients say that they can complete what they need to do on a daily basis and do the things they love to do.

Occupational therapy is a health profession that helps people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations).

Patients might improve the quality of their lives by improving the efficiency of daily tasks or finding ways to complete tasks more quickly. For example, an OTR could work with someone who is struggling to return to work after an injury by recommending strategies such as coming up with alternative ways to complete tasks at work or setting goals for completing certain tasks in a given amount of time.

People are more than just patients at our clinic. They are people with stories, passions, and hopes for their future. Julia’s job as an occupational therapist is to help them regain function so they can continue pursuing their life goals.

In her free time, Julia’s hobbies include baking, traveling, and her maltipoo named Zoe.
