Our Clinical Treatment Approaches

1. Functional Movement Restoration

Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize functional capacity evaluation and performance testing to design staged recovery plans targeting:

Proprioceptive retraining: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after connective tissue damage
Movement pattern correction: Retraining optimal movement that perpetuate pain
Functional strength building: Graduated load application to restore original performance
Gait analysis and correction: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to lower extremity pain

Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in functional mobility within one to two months (based on validated outcome measures).

2. Soft Tissue Mobilization

Certified manual therapy practitioners perform focused manual techniques to address:

Myofascial trigger point release: Eliminating radiating discomfort from fascial knots
Fascial restriction release: Improving tissue glide and minimizing protective tension
Lymphatic drainage: Promoting fluid clearance post-accident
Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Maintaining tissue pliability after acute injury

Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, transitioning to maintenance care as tissue healing progresses.

3. Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation

Our doctors of chiropractic utilize diversified technique, mechanical-assisted treatment, and instrument-assisted manipulation to restore:

Segmental arrangement: Addressing spinal misalignment causing nerve root irritation
Vertebral movement: Restoring segmental mobility in fixated segments
Biomechanical equilibrium: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and alignment deficiencies
Spinal cushioning: Enhancing disc hydration and decreasing pressure loads

Safety profile: All patients undergo orthopedic and neurological screening to ensure optimal care selection.

4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities

Acoustic wave treatment: Targeted thermal therapy to promote collagen extensibility and promote soft tissue repair
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Reducing acute muscle spasm and improving tissue perfusion
Cryotherapy protocols: Managing acute inflammation while reducing pain medication needs
Therapeutic taping: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during movement-based activities
Thermotherapy: Enhancing circulation before therapeutic exercise

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to be seen?

No. State law permits self-referral to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without medical prescription. However, if you're submitting claims, check your coverage details.

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 preserve insurance coverage.

Will I need X-rays or MRI?

Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on clinical assessment results, accident circumstances, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with area diagnostic facilities for expedited scheduling.

How long will treatment take?

Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of therapeutic intervention. Severe trauma affecting multiple body regions may require 12-16 weeks. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.

What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?

We facilitate provider changes and will request records from your previous provider to ensure treatment continuity.
