Our Clinical Treatment Approaches
1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize functional capacity evaluation and performance testing to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Balance and coordination recovery: Rebuilding spatial awareness after ligamentous injury
- Movement pattern correction: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that prevent healing
- Therapeutic strengthening: Systematic strength development to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Gait analysis and correction: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to lower extremity pain
Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in functional mobility within the initial treatment phase (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform targeted soft tissue mobilization to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Reducing referred pain patterns from fascial knots
- Tissue glide restoration: Restoring normal tissue movement and minimizing protective tension
- Edema management: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution after trauma
- Adhesion breakdown: Maintaining tissue pliability after recent trauma
Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, advancing to periodic check-ins as recovery advances.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our chiropractic physicians utilize diversified technique, drop-table adjustments, and instrument-assisted manipulation to restore:
- Segmental arrangement: Restoring proper vertebral position causing neural compression
- Intervertebral motion: Enhancing spinal flexibility in restricted areas
- Structural alignment: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and alignment deficiencies
- Intervertebral disc function: Enhancing disc hydration and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure optimal care selection.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Therapeutic ultrasound: Targeted thermal therapy to improve elastic properties and speed ligament recovery
- Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS): Decreasing involuntary contraction and enhancing blood flow
- Cryotherapy protocols: Reducing tissue irritation while reducing pain medication needs
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Providing proprioceptive feedback and protecting damaged structures during daily tasks
- Thermotherapy: Promoting muscle relaxation before therapeutic exercise

Our Clinical Philosophy: Return to Activity, Not Just Temporary Relief
Most treatment centers emphasize pain reduction only through hands-off techniques or drug-based treatment. While pain reduction is important, our primary objective is returning you to full activity.
This means:
- Quantifiable objectives: All care plans feature concrete milestones (e.g., "improve shoulder flexion to 150 degrees in 4 weeks")
- Data-driven monitoring: We document improvements using standardized assessment tools, not symptom descriptions only
- Gradual activity progression: Systematic activity advancement that match recovery phases to activity requirements
- Recurrence avoidance: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and teaching protective techniques to maintain recovery

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule without a physician order?
Referral not required. Florida allows direct access to these conservative care services without medical prescription. However, if you're using insurance, confirm your policy terms.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Schedule as soon as possible. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. Florida law requires medical evaluation within 14 days of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.
Will I need advanced testing?
We request scans based on examination findings based on physical evaluation data, trauma details, or lack of expected progress. We maintain collaborative partnerships with regional radiology providers for expedited scheduling.
How long will treatment take?
Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of structured treatment. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require three to four months. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to nervous system adaptations.
What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?
We facilitate provider changes and will request records from your previous provider to ensure treatment continuity.
