Our Clinical Treatment Approaches

1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy

Our licensed physical therapists utilize biomechanical assessment and mobility screening to design staged recovery plans targeting:

Balance and coordination recovery: Restoring joint position sense after joint trauma
Movement pattern correction: Addressing faulty mechanics that maintain symptoms
Progressive resistance training: Systematic strength development to restore baseline functional capacity
Gait analysis and correction: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to movement-related discomfort

2. Soft Tissue Mobilization

Certified manual therapy practitioners perform targeted soft tissue mobilization to address:

Trigger point deactivation: Addressing pain spread from fascial knots
Connective tissue mobilization: Restoring normal tissue movement and reducing compensatory strain
Fluid mobilization: Speeding swelling reduction after trauma
Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Maintaining tissue pliability after recent trauma

Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, advancing to periodic check-ins as recovery advances.

3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy

Our doctors of chiropractic utilize diversified technique, mechanical-assisted treatment, and tool-based adjustments to restore:

Vertebral alignment: Restoring proper vertebral position causing radicular symptoms
Spinal segment mobility: Restoring segmental mobility in hypomobile spinal regions
Postural balance: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and structural imbalances
Disc health: Facilitating disc nutrition and minimizing compressive forces

Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule without a physician order?

No. Florida allows direct access to our treatment modalities without doctor's orders. However, if you're using insurance, verify your plan's requirements.

What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?

Immediate evaluation is recommended. Waiting may convert temporary problems into permanent conditions. Florida law requires medical evaluation within 14 days of an auto accident to preserve insurance coverage.

Will I need diagnostic imaging?

Diagnostic imaging is ordered only when clinically indicated based on clinical assessment results, mechanism of injury, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with regional radiology providers for expedited scheduling.

How many sessions will I need?

Recent trauma usually needs two to three months of active rehabilitation. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require three to four months. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to nervous system adaptations.

What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?

We welcome transfer of care and will gather historical medical information to ensure seamless care progression.
