Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Functional Movement Restoration
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize movement analysis and performance testing to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Restoring joint position sense after ligamentous injury
- Movement pattern correction: Retraining optimal movement that perpetuate pain
- Therapeutic strengthening: Systematic strength development to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Locomotion optimization: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to lower extremity pain
Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in movement capacity within 4-6 weeks (based on validated outcome measures).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Addressing pain spread from myofascial adhesions
- Fascial restriction release: Restoring normal tissue movement and minimizing protective tension
- Edema management: Promoting fluid clearance following injury
- Adhesion breakdown: Maintaining tissue pliability after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, advancing to periodic check-ins as symptoms improve.
3. Joint Mobilization Treatment
Our chiropractic physicians utilize diversified technique, table-facilitated therapy, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Addressing spinal misalignment causing nerve root irritation
- Vertebral movement: Improving joint motion in fixated segments
- Structural alignment: Treating shoulder protraction and alignment deficiencies
- Intervertebral disc function: Facilitating disc nutrition and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure treatment safety.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Acoustic wave treatment: Deep tissue heating to improve elastic properties and speed ligament recovery
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Decreasing involuntary contraction and promoting circulation
- Cryotherapy protocols: Managing acute inflammation while reducing pain medication needs
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Providing proprioceptive feedback and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
- Warm compress application: Promoting muscle relaxation before manual treatment

Our Clinical Philosophy: Performance Recovery, Not Just Pain Management
Many more info injury clinics focus solely on symptomatic relief through passive modalities or pharmaceutical intervention. While discomfort control is valuable, our primary objective is recovering your original performance level.
This means:
- Quantifiable objectives: Each program establishes clear benchmarks (e.g., "increase cervical rotation to 75 degrees within 3 weeks")
- Data-driven monitoring: We track advancement using proven evaluation methods, not subjective pain scales alone
- Gradual activity progression: Phased reintegration programs that align repair stages with performance needs
- Future injury reduction: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and teaching protective techniques to maintain recovery

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule without a physician order?
Not necessary. State law permits self-referral to our treatment modalities without medical prescription. However, if you're submitting claims, confirm your policy terms.
When should I schedule my first appointment after injury?
Schedule as soon as possible. Postponing care risks long-term complications. 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, trauma details, or lack of expected progress. We maintain professional connections with local imaging centers for rapid appointment access.
What's the expected recovery timeframe?
Recent trauma usually needs two to three months of active rehabilitation. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require up to four months. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to nervous system adaptations.
What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?
We facilitate provider changes and will gather historical medical information to ensure seamless care progression.
