Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize biomechanical assessment and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Rebuilding spatial awareness after ligamentous injury
- Neuromuscular re-education: Addressing faulty mechanics that maintain symptoms
- Therapeutic strengthening: Systematic strength development to restore original performance
- Locomotion optimization: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in functional mobility within one to two months (based on validated outcome measures).
2. Soft Tissue Mobilization
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Eliminating radiating discomfort from myofascial adhesions
- Tissue glide restoration: Improving tissue glide and reducing compensatory strain
- Lymphatic drainage: Speeding swelling reduction following injury
- Adhesion breakdown: Avoiding permanent restrictions after initial damage
Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, progressing to less frequent sessions as recovery advances.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our doctors of chiropractic read more utilize hands-on manipulation, mechanical-assisted treatment, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Spinal positioning: Correcting subluxation patterns causing radicular symptoms
- Intervertebral motion: Enhancing spinal flexibility in restricted areas
- Structural alignment: Addressing forward head posture and alignment deficiencies
- Spinal cushioning: Facilitating disc nutrition and decreasing pressure loads
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure treatment safety.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Controlled heat application to promote collagen extensibility and promote soft tissue repair
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Decreasing involuntary contraction and promoting circulation
- Ice treatment regimens: Controlling swelling while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
- Kinesiology taping: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
- Thermotherapy: Promoting muscle relaxation before rehabilitation activities

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Not necessary. State law permits self-referral to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without doctor's orders. However, if you're billing your health plan, check your coverage details.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Schedule as soon as possible. Postponing care risks long-term complications. State regulations mandate 14-day evaluation window of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need X-rays or MRI?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on physical evaluation data, mechanism of injury, or lack of expected progress. We maintain collaborative partnerships with regional radiology providers for expedited scheduling.
What's the expected recovery timeframe?
Recent trauma usually needs two to three months of therapeutic intervention. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require up to four months. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.
How do I switch clinics mid-treatment?
We welcome transfer of care and will request records from your previous provider to ensure seamless care progression.
