Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Functional Movement Restoration
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize movement analysis and performance testing to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:

- Connective tissue mobilization: Restoring normal tissue movement and decreasing secondary stress
- Edema management: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution post-accident
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Maintaining tissue pliability after initial damage
Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, transitioning to maintenance care as symptoms improve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Not necessary. You can schedule independently to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without doctor's orders. However, if you're billing your health plan, verify your plan's requirements.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Schedule as soon as possible. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. State regulations mandate 14-day evaluation window of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.
Will I need diagnostic imaging?
We request scans based on examination findings based on clinical assessment results, mechanism of injury, or lack of expected progress. We maintain professional connections with regional radiology providers for expedited scheduling.
What's the expected recovery timeframe?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of therapeutic intervention. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require up to four months. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to altered pain perception patterns.
How do I switch clinics mid-treatment?
We facilitate provider changes and will request records from your previous provider to ensure treatment continuity.
