Our Clinical Treatment Approaches
1. Functional Movement Restoration
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize functional capacity evaluation and functional capacity evaluation to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Balance and coordination recovery: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after joint trauma
- Motor control exercises: Retraining optimal movement that maintain symptoms
- Therapeutic strengthening: Progressive resistance training to restore original performance
- Locomotion optimization: Correcting movement faults contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in movement capacity within 4-6 weeks (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Soft Tissue Mobilization
Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform targeted soft tissue mobilization to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Addressing pain spread from myofascial adhesions
- Tissue glide restoration: Enhancing fascial mobility and decreasing secondary stress
- Lymphatic drainage: Speeding swelling reduction post-accident
- Adhesion breakdown: Preventing chronic fibrosis after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, advancing to periodic check-ins as tissue healing progresses.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize manual adjustment methods, mechanical-assisted treatment, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Spinal positioning: Addressing spinal misalignment causing radicular symptoms
- Spinal segment mobility: Restoring segmental mobility in restricted areas
- Structural alignment: Addressing forward head posture and structural imbalances
- Intervertebral disc function: Facilitating disc nutrition and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Acoustic wave treatment: Targeted thermal therapy to enhance tissue flexibility and promote soft tissue repair
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Reducing acute muscle spasm and enhancing blood flow
- Ice treatment regimens: Controlling swelling while reducing pain medication needs
- Therapeutic taping: Providing proprioceptive feedback and protecting damaged structures during daily tasks
- Thermotherapy: Enhancing circulation before rehabilitation activities

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule without a physician order?
Not necessary. Florida allows direct access to these conservative care services without doctor's orders. However, if you're using insurance, verify your plan's requirements.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Immediate evaluation is recommended. Postponing care risks long-term complications. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.
Will I need diagnostic imaging?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on clinical assessment results, mechanism of injury, or lack of expected progress. We maintain collaborative partnerships with area diagnostic facilities for rapid appointment access.
How long will treatment take?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of therapeutic intervention. Complex cases involving check here disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require up to four months. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to altered pain perception patterns.
How do I switch clinics mid-treatment?
We facilitate provider changes and will gather historical medical information to ensure treatment continuity.
