Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our licensed physical therapists utilize biomechanical assessment and mobility screening to design staged recovery plans targeting:
- Proprioceptive retraining: Restoring joint position sense after joint trauma
- Neuromuscular re-education: Retraining optimal movement that perpetuate pain
- Progressive resistance training: Progressive resistance training to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Walking pattern assessment: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to movement-related discomfort
Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in daily activity performance within 4-6 weeks (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment
Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Addressing pain spread from myofascial adhesions
- Connective tissue mobilization: Enhancing fascial mobility and decreasing secondary stress
- Edema management: Promoting fluid clearance following injury
- Adhesion breakdown: Preventing chronic fibrosis after initial damage
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, transitioning to maintenance care as symptoms improve.
3. Joint Mobilization Treatment
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize manual adjustment methods, table-facilitated therapy, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Addressing spinal misalignment causing radicular symptoms
- Intervertebral motion: Restoring segmental mobility in restricted areas
- Biomechanical equilibrium: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and structural imbalances
- Spinal cushioning: Facilitating disc nutrition and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure optimal care selection.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Therapeutic ultrasound: Deep tissue heating to promote collagen extensibility and accelerate tendon healing
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Relieving protective tension and promoting circulation
- Cold therapy application: Controlling swelling while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
- Therapeutic taping: Supporting sensory input and facilitating healing during daily tasks
- Heat therapy: Enhancing circulation before rehabilitation activities

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule without a physician order?
No. State law permits self-referral to these conservative care services without physician referral. However, if you're using insurance, verify your plan's requirements.
What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?
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 maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need X-rays or MRI?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on examination findings, trauma details, or lack of expected progress. We maintain referral relationships with area diagnostic facilities for rapid appointment access.
How many sessions will I need?
Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of active rehabilitation. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require 12-16 weeks. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to nervous system adaptations.
How do I switch clinics mid-treatment?
We welcome transfer of care and will obtain prior treatment documentation to ensure treatment continuity.
