Functional Restoration San Diego is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, interdisciplinary pain management and injury rehabilitation practice in one of the most desirable cities in the United States.

Founded and led by Joel E. Mata, MD, the practice is built on the principles of functional restoration — an evidence-informed, active rehabilitation model that emphasizes movement, behavioral change, and long-term functional improvement over passive or palliative care. The program integrates physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, movement instruction, biofeedback, occupational therapy, nutrition education, and individualized home exercise programs to help patients return to work and daily life with greater independence.

The practice averages $1,352,067 in annual gross revenue (2022–2025) with average adjusted expenses of $828,154, producing an average annual net profit of approximately $523,914. The current owner achieves these results working 1–2 days per week, with no active marketing required.

Approximately 90% of patients are referred by local physicians seeking consultation for workers’ compensation cases, with additional referrals from insurance companies, nurse case managers, and attorneys, providing a focused and consistent referral stream.

After an interdisciplinary evaluation, eligible patients may participate in an intensive 32-day program designed to address chronic pain and disability through structured behavioral and functional interventions. The practice rarely prescribes opioids and does not perform injections, distinguishing itself from traditional pain management models.

Located approximately 10 minutes from downtown San Diego, the clinic operates from a distinctive two-story Craftsman-style building that feels more like a welcoming home than a medical office. The facility includes three treatment rooms, three offices, two break areas, two bathrooms, a covered balcony, and storage space.

The asking price of $795,000 reflects a conservative professional valuation and the owner’s motivation for a smooth and timely transition. Financing options may be available, and the owner is open to assisting with transition support.

This is an ideal opportunity for:
- A physician seeking autonomy and high income with lifestyle flexibility
- A pain specialist wanting to shift away from high-volume injection models
- A residency graduate ready to step into immediate profitability
- An established provider seeking to expand into functional restoration

This turnkey practice offers strong cash flow, an experienced team, and significant upside potential in a premier coastal market.
