Our Clinical Treatment Approaches
1. Functional Movement Restoration
Our movement therapy experts utilize functional capacity evaluation and mobility screening to design progressive exercise protocols targeting:
- Proprioceptive retraining: Rebuilding spatial awareness after joint trauma
- Movement pattern correction: Retraining optimal movement that prevent healing
- Functional strength building: Systematic strength development to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Gait analysis and correction: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in functional mobility within one to two months (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform focused manual techniques to address:
- Trigger point deactivation: Addressing pain spread from fascial knots
- Connective tissue mobilization: Enhancing fascial mobility and minimizing protective tension
- Fluid mobilization: Promoting fluid clearance following injury
- Adhesion breakdown: Preventing chronic fibrosis after recent trauma
Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, transitioning to maintenance care as tissue healing progresses.
3. Joint Mobilization Treatment
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize hands-on manipulation, table-facilitated therapy, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Spinal positioning: Addressing spinal misalignment causing nerve root irritation
- Spinal segment mobility: Enhancing spinal flexibility in restricted areas
- Structural alignment: Treating shoulder protraction and other postural distortions
- Spinal cushioning: Facilitating disc nutrition and reducing mechanical disc stress
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure optimal care selection.
4. Supporting Therapy Options
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Controlled heat application to improve elastic properties and accelerate tendon healing
- Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS): Decreasing involuntary contraction and promoting circulation
- Cold therapy application: Managing acute inflammation while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during functional activities
- Thermotherapy: Promoting muscle relaxation before rehabilitation activities

Our Clinical Philosophy: Functional Restoration, Not Just Temporary Relief
Many injury clinics focus solely on symptomatic relief through hands-off techniques or drug-based treatment. While pain reduction is important, our primary objective is restoring your pre-injury functional capacity.
This means:
- Measurable goals: All care plans feature concrete milestones (e.g., "increase cervical rotation to 75 degrees within 3 weeks")
- Measurement-based assessment: We record progress using validated outcome measures, not symptom descriptions only
- Staged return to function: Phased reintegration programs that match recovery phases to activity requirements
- Long-term prevention: Detecting functional weaknesses and providing corrective strategies to avoid recurrence

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Referral not required. State law permits self-referral to our treatment modalities without physician referral. However, if you're submitting claims, check your coverage details.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Immediate evaluation is recommended. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need advanced testing?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on clinical assessment results, trauma details, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with area diagnostic facilities 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 three to four months. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration 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 treatment continuity.
