Our Proven Therapeutic Interventions
1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs
Our licensed physical therapists utilize functional capacity evaluation and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Restoring joint position sense after connective tissue damage
- Neuromuscular re-education: Retraining optimal movement that prevent healing
- Therapeutic strengthening: Progressive resistance training to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Locomotion optimization: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in movement capacity within 4-6 weeks (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Soft Tissue Mobilization
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Myofascial trigger point release: Addressing pain spread from myofascial adhesions
- Fascial restriction release: Improving tissue glide and minimizing protective tension
- Fluid mobilization: Promoting fluid clearance following injury
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Avoiding permanent restrictions after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, transitioning to maintenance care as tissue healing progresses.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize hands-on manipulation, drop-table adjustments, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Spinal positioning: Restoring proper vertebral position causing neural compression
- Vertebral movement: Enhancing spinal flexibility in fixated segments
- Postural balance: Addressing forward head posture and alignment deficiencies
- Intervertebral disc function: Promoting nutrient exchange and reducing mechanical disc stress
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure treatment safety.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Acoustic wave treatment: Deep tissue heating to promote collagen extensibility and promote soft tissue repair
- E-stim therapy: Relieving protective tension and improving tissue perfusion
- Ice treatment regimens: Reducing tissue irritation while reducing pain medication needs
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
- Thermotherapy: Increasing tissue extensibility before manual treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule without a physician order?
Referral not required. You can schedule independently to our treatment modalities without doctor's orders. However, if you're submitting claims, check your coverage details.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Prompt assessment is optimal. Postponing care risks long-term complications. Florida law requires medical evaluation within 14 days of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.
Will I need advanced testing?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on clinical assessment results, mechanism of injury, or lack of expected progress. We maintain professional connections with regional radiology providers for fast-tracked testing.
How long will treatment take?
Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of structured treatment. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require 12-16 weeks. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to altered pain perception patterns.
Can I transfer from another provider?
We welcome transfer of care and will obtain prior treatment documentation to ensure uninterrupted service.
