Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize functional capacity evaluation and performance testing to design staged recovery plans targeting:
- Proprioceptive retraining: Rebuilding spatial awareness after ligamentous injury
- Motor control exercises: Retraining optimal movement that prevent healing
- Therapeutic strengthening: Progressive resistance training to restore original performance
- Locomotion optimization: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to lower extremity pain
Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in functional mobility within the initial treatment phase (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform focused manual techniques to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Reducing referred pain patterns from fascial knots
- Fascial restriction release: Enhancing fascial mobility and decreasing secondary stress
- Edema management: Promoting fluid clearance after trauma
- Scar tissue remodeling: Maintaining tissue pliability after recent trauma
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, advancing to periodic check-ins as recovery advances.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our chiropractic physicians utilize diversified technique, mechanical-assisted treatment, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Spinal positioning: Addressing spinal misalignment causing nerve root irritation
- Intervertebral motion: Improving joint motion in hypomobile spinal regions
- Structural alignment: Treating shoulder protraction and other postural distortions
- Spinal cushioning: Enhancing disc hydration and decreasing pressure loads
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Deep tissue heating to improve elastic properties and speed ligament recovery
- Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS): Reducing acute muscle spasm and promoting circulation
- Cryotherapy protocols: Managing acute inflammation while reducing pain medication needs
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Enhancing body awareness and supporting injured tissues during functional activities
- Warm compress application: Promoting muscle relaxation before therapeutic exercise

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Referral not required. State law permits self-referral to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without physician referral. However, if you're submitting claims, verify your plan's requirements.
What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?
Prompt assessment is optimal. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.
Will I need diagnostic imaging?
Diagnostic imaging is ordered only when clinically indicated based on examination findings, trauma details, or treatment plateau. We maintain collaborative partnerships with area diagnostic facilities for expedited scheduling.
How many sessions will I need?
Recent trauma check here 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 altered pain perception patterns.
Can I transfer from another provider?
We welcome transfer of care and will request records from your previous provider to ensure uninterrupted service.
