Most treatment centers emphasize pain reduction only through passive modalities or pharmaceutical intervention. While pain reduction is important, our primary objective is restoring your pre-injury functional capacity.
This means:
- Quantifiable objectives: Each program establishes clear benchmarks (e.g., "restore lumbar extension to 25 degrees within one month")
- Objective progress tracking: We track advancement using validated outcome measures, not patient reports exclusively
- Progressive load application: Phased reintegration programs that match recovery phases to activity requirements
- Recurrence avoidance: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and implementing preventive measures to avoid recurrence

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No. You can schedule independently to our treatment modalities 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. Florida law requires medical evaluation within 14 days of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need diagnostic imaging?
We request scans based on examination findings based on examination findings, accident circumstances, or failure to respond to initial conservative care. We maintain collaborative partnerships with area diagnostic facilities for fast-tracked testing.
How long will treatment take?
Recent trauma usually needs two to three months of therapeutic intervention. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require 12-16 weeks. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to altered pain perception patterns.
Can I transfer from another provider?
We welcome transfer of care and will gather historical medical information to ensure uninterrupted service.
