Atlantic Rehab: Your Reliable Companion in Recovery

Jacksonville's Premier Injury Treatment Center: Evidence-Based Treatment for Auto Accidents, Work-Related Accidents & Persistent Pain Conditions

East Coast Injury Clinic – Restoring Function Through Multidisciplinary Care

When a auto accident, work-related trauma, or exercise-related damage disrupts your life, you need more than generic treatment. You need a medical staff that understands the biomechanics of soft tissue damage, the nervous system consequences of neck injuries, and the evidence-based methods that speed recovery while preventing chronic pain development.

At East Coast Injury Clinic, our multidisciplinary approach combines structural examination, neuromuscular rehabilitation, and evidence-based manual therapy to address the root cause of your symptoms, not just mask the pain.

Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities

1. Functional Movement Restoration

Our licensed physical therapists utilize biomechanical assessment and mobility screening to design staged recovery plans targeting:

  • Joint position sense restoration: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after ligamentous injury
  • Neuromuscular re-education: Retraining optimal movement that maintain symptoms
  • Therapeutic strengthening: Systematic strength development to restore pre-injury strength levels
  • Walking pattern assessment: Correcting movement faults contributing to lower extremity pain

Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in functional mobility within one to two months (based on standardized assessment tools).

2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment

Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform precision hands-on treatment to address:

  • Myofascial trigger point release: Eliminating radiating discomfort from tissue restrictions
  • Tissue glide restoration: Improving tissue glide and minimizing protective tension
  • Lymphatic drainage: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution after trauma
  • Adhesion breakdown: Avoiding permanent restrictions after recent trauma

Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, transitioning to maintenance care as symptoms improve.

3. Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation

Our spinal manipulation specialists utilize hands-on manipulation, drop-table adjustments, and instrument-assisted manipulation to restore:

  • Segmental arrangement: Correcting subluxation patterns causing nerve root irritation
  • Spinal segment mobility: Enhancing spinal flexibility in hypomobile spinal regions
  • Biomechanical equilibrium: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and alignment deficiencies
  • Disc health: Facilitating disc nutrition and minimizing compressive forces

Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure optimal care selection.

4. Supporting Therapy Options

  • Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Targeted thermal therapy to enhance tissue flexibility and speed ligament recovery
  • E-stim therapy: Relieving protective tension and improving tissue perfusion
  • Cold therapy application: Managing acute inflammation while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
  • Therapeutic taping: Supporting sensory input and facilitating healing during movement-based activities
  • Warm compress application: Promoting muscle relaxation before therapeutic exercise

Our Clinical Philosophy: Performance Recovery, Not Just Temporary Relief

Many injury clinics focus solely on symptomatic relief through hands-off techniques or medication management. While discomfort control is valuable, our primary objective is restoring your pre-injury functional capacity.

This means:

  • Documented targets: Every treatment plan includes specific, time-bound objectives (e.g., "increase cervical rotation to 75 degrees within 3 weeks")
  • Data-driven monitoring: We document improvements using proven evaluation methods, not patient reports exclusively
  • Staged return to function: Systematic activity advancement that balance tissue healing timelines with functional demands
  • Future injury reduction: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and teaching protective techniques to maintain recovery

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule without a physician order?

Referral not required. You can schedule independently to these conservative care services without medical prescription. However, if you're submitting claims, check your coverage details.

When should I schedule my first appointment after injury?

Immediate evaluation is recommended. Waiting may convert temporary problems into permanent conditions. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.

Will I need X-rays or MRI?

We request scans based on examination findings based on examination findings, trauma details, or lack of expected progress. We maintain collaborative partnerships with regional radiology providers for fast-tracked testing.

How many sessions will I need?

Recent trauma usually needs two to three months of structured treatment. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require up to four months. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to altered pain perception patterns.

What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?

We accept mid-treatment transitions and will request records from your previous provider to ensure check here uninterrupted service.
