Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize movement analysis and performance testing to design staged recovery plans targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Restoring joint position sense after ligamentous injury
- Motor control exercises: Addressing faulty mechanics that perpetuate pain
- Therapeutic strengthening: Progressive resistance training to restore original performance
- Locomotion optimization: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in functional mobility within 4-6 weeks (based on standardized assessment tools).
2. Soft Tissue Mobilization
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform targeted soft tissue mobilization to address:
- Myofascial trigger point release: Reducing referred pain patterns from tissue restrictions
- Tissue glide restoration: Restoring normal tissue movement and minimizing protective tension
- Lymphatic drainage: Promoting fluid clearance after trauma
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Avoiding permanent restrictions after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, advancing to periodic check-ins as recovery advances.
3. Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation
Our chiropractic physicians utilize manual adjustment methods, table-facilitated therapy, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Spinal positioning: Addressing spinal misalignment causing radicular symptoms
- Spinal segment mobility: Restoring segmental mobility in fixated segments
- Biomechanical equilibrium: Addressing forward head posture and alignment deficiencies
- Disc health: Promoting nutrient exchange and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Targeted thermal therapy to promote collagen extensibility and promote soft tissue repair
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Reducing acute muscle spasm and improving tissue perfusion
- Cryotherapy protocols: Controlling swelling while reducing pain medication needs
- Therapeutic taping: Providing proprioceptive feedback and facilitating healing during daily tasks
- Thermotherapy: Enhancing circulation before rehabilitation activities

Home Management Guidance
We provide structured independent activities, desk arrangement reviews, and protective movement patterns to prevent re-injury.
Our Clinical Philosophy: Return to Activity, Not Just Temporary Relief
Many injury clinics focus solely on symptomatic relief through passive modalities or drug-based treatment. While discomfort control is valuable, our primary objective is returning you to full activity.
This means:
- Documented targets: Every treatment plan includes specific, time-bound objectives (e.g., "restore lumbar extension to 25 degrees within one month")
- Objective progress tracking: We track advancement using standardized assessment tools, not subjective pain scales alone
- Staged return to function: Systematic activity advancement that match recovery phases to activity requirements
- Long-term prevention: Detecting functional weaknesses and teaching protective techniques to avoid recurrence

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No. You can get more info schedule independently to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without physician referral. However, if you're using insurance, check your coverage details.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Schedule as soon as possible. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. State regulations mandate 14-day evaluation window of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need advanced testing?
Diagnostic imaging is ordered only when clinically indicated based on examination findings, mechanism of injury, or failure to respond to initial conservative care. We maintain referral relationships with regional radiology providers for fast-tracked testing.
How many sessions will I need?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of therapeutic intervention. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require three to four months. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.
Can I transfer from another provider?
We accept mid-treatment transitions and will obtain prior treatment documentation to ensure uninterrupted service.
