Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Functional Movement Restoration
Our licensed physical therapists utilize biomechanical assessment and performance testing to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after joint trauma
- Neuromuscular re-education: Retraining optimal movement that maintain symptoms
- Functional strength building: Graduated load application to restore baseline functional capacity
- Locomotion optimization: Correcting movement faults contributing to lower extremity pain
Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in movement capacity within the initial treatment phase (based on validated outcome measures).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform targeted soft tissue mobilization to address:
- Myofascial trigger point release: Eliminating radiating discomfort from myofascial adhesions
- Tissue glide restoration: Improving tissue glide and reducing compensatory strain
- Edema management: Promoting fluid clearance following injury
- Adhesion breakdown: Maintaining tissue pliability after initial damage
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, transitioning to maintenance care as tissue healing progresses.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize diversified technique, table-facilitated therapy, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Restoring proper vertebral position causing neural compression
- Vertebral movement: Enhancing spinal flexibility in fixated segments
- Structural alignment: Addressing forward head posture and structural imbalances
- Spinal cushioning: Facilitating disc nutrition and decreasing pressure loads
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Acoustic wave treatment: Targeted thermal therapy to improve elastic properties and promote soft tissue repair
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Decreasing involuntary contraction and enhancing blood flow
- Cryotherapy protocols: Reducing tissue irritation while minimizing analgesic dependency
- Therapeutic taping: Providing proprioceptive feedback and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
- Heat therapy: Enhancing circulation before manual treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a doctor's referral required?
No. Florida allows direct access to our treatment modalities without physician referral. However, if you're using insurance, check your coverage details.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Immediate evaluation is recommended. Waiting may convert temporary problems into permanent conditions. State regulations mandate 14-day evaluation window of an auto accident to preserve insurance coverage.
Will I need X-rays or MRI?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on examination findings, trauma details, or failure to respond to initial conservative care. We maintain collaborative partnerships with area diagnostic facilities for expedited scheduling.
How many sessions will I need?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of therapeutic intervention. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require three to four months. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to nervous system adaptations.
What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?
We facilitate provider changes and will gather historical medical information to ensure uninterrupted service.
