Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our movement therapy experts utilize functional capacity evaluation and performance testing to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Balance and coordination recovery: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after joint trauma
- Motor control exercises: Addressing faulty mechanics that prevent healing
- Therapeutic strengthening: Graduated load application to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Gait analysis and correction: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to movement-related discomfort
Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in movement capacity within one to two months (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Trigger point deactivation: Addressing pain spread from fascial knots
- Fascial restriction release: Restoring normal tissue movement and decreasing secondary stress
- Lymphatic drainage: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution after trauma
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Preventing chronic fibrosis after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, transitioning to maintenance care as symptoms improve.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize manual adjustment methods, table-facilitated therapy, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Addressing spinal misalignment causing radicular symptoms
- Intervertebral motion: Restoring segmental mobility in restricted areas
- Postural balance: Addressing forward head posture and structural imbalances
- Disc health: Facilitating disc nutrition and decreasing pressure loads
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure optimal care selection.
4. Supporting Therapy Options
- Acoustic wave treatment: Controlled heat application to enhance tissue flexibility and promote soft tissue repair
- E-stim therapy: Reducing acute muscle spasm and promoting circulation
- Ice treatment regimens: Controlling swelling while minimizing analgesic dependency
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Supporting sensory input and protecting damaged structures during movement-based activities
- Thermotherapy: Increasing tissue extensibility before therapeutic exercise

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a doctor's referral required?
Referral not required. Florida allows direct access to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without doctor's orders. However, if you're submitting claims, confirm your policy terms.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Schedule as soon as possible. Postponing care risks long-term complications. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to preserve insurance coverage.
Will I need advanced testing?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on examination findings, accident circumstances, or lack of expected progress. We maintain professional connections with local imaging centers for fast-tracked testing.
What's the expected recovery timeframe?
Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of active rehabilitation. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require 12-16 weeks. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to altered pain read more perception patterns.
What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?
We facilitate provider changes and will gather historical medical information to ensure seamless care progression.
