Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize movement analysis and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Balance and coordination recovery: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after joint trauma
- Neuromuscular re-education: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that maintain symptoms
- Therapeutic strengthening: Progressive resistance training to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Walking pattern assessment: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in functional mobility within the initial treatment phase (based on standardized assessment tools).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform focused manual techniques to address:
- Myofascial trigger point release: Reducing referred pain patterns from fascial knots
- Connective tissue mobilization: Enhancing fascial mobility and minimizing protective tension
- Fluid mobilization: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution following injury
- Scar tissue remodeling: Avoiding permanent restrictions after initial damage
Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, advancing to periodic check-ins as tissue healing progresses.
3. Joint Mobilization Treatment
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize hands-on manipulation, table-facilitated therapy, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Spinal positioning: Correcting subluxation patterns causing radicular symptoms
- Intervertebral motion: Restoring segmental mobility in hypomobile spinal regions
- Postural balance: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and structural imbalances
- Intervertebral disc function: Facilitating disc nutrition and reducing mechanical disc stress
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure optimal care selection.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Deep tissue heating to promote collagen extensibility and accelerate tendon healing
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Reducing acute muscle spasm and enhancing blood flow
- Cold therapy application: Reducing tissue irritation while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
- Therapeutic taping: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during movement-based activities
- Heat therapy: Promoting muscle relaxation before therapeutic exercise

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 billing your health plan, verify your plan's requirements.
What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?
Immediate evaluation is recommended. Postponing care risks long-term complications. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need X-rays or MRI?
Diagnostic imaging is ordered only when clinically indicated based on clinical assessment results, accident circumstances, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with regional radiology providers for rapid appointment access.
How long will treatment take?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of structured treatment. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require 12-16 weeks. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to nervous system adaptations.
