Frequently Asked Questions

Is a doctor's referral required?

Not necessary. Florida allows direct access to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without medical prescription. However, if you're submitting claims, verify your plan's requirements.

When should I schedule my first appointment after injury?

Immediate evaluation is recommended. 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 X-rays or MRI?

Diagnostic imaging is ordered only when clinically indicated based on physical evaluation data, trauma details, or lack of expected progress. We maintain collaborative partnerships with area diagnostic facilities for rapid appointment access.

How long will treatment take?

Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of structured treatment. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require up to four months. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.

What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?

We accept mid-treatment transitions and will request records from your previous provider to ensure treatment continuity.
