Our Clinical Treatment Approaches
1. Functional Movement Restoration
Our movement therapy experts utilize functional capacity evaluation and functional capacity evaluation to design progressive exercise protocols targeting:

- Movement pattern correction: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that perpetuate pain
- Therapeutic strengthening: Systematic strength development to restore original performance
- Gait analysis and correction: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to leg and foot problems

- Fluid mobilization: Promoting fluid clearance following injury
- Adhesion breakdown: Avoiding permanent restrictions after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, progressing to less frequent sessions as recovery advances.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our chiropractic physicians utilize manual adjustment methods, table-facilitated therapy, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Segmental arrangement: Correcting subluxation patterns causing neural compression

- Postural balance: Treating shoulder protraction and structural imbalances
- Disc health: Promoting nutrient exchange and decreasing pressure loads
Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure optimal care selection.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions

- E-stim therapy: Decreasing involuntary contraction and improving tissue perfusion
- Ice treatment regimens: Managing acute inflammation while reducing pain medication needs
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Providing proprioceptive feedback and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule without a physician order?
No. You can schedule independently to our treatment modalities without physician referral. However, if you're billing your health plan, check your coverage details.
What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?
Schedule as soon as possible. Postponing care risks long-term complications. Florida law requires medical evaluation within 14 days of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need diagnostic imaging?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on clinical assessment results, accident circumstances, or lack of expected progress. We maintain referral relationships with regional radiology providers for rapid appointment access.
What's the expected recovery timeframe?
Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of active rehabilitation. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require up to four months. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.
Can I transfer from another provider?
We facilitate provider changes and will gather historical medical information to ensure uninterrupted service.
