Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our licensed physical therapists utilize movement analysis and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Balance and coordination recovery: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after joint trauma
- Motor control exercises: Retraining optimal movement that prevent healing
- Functional strength building: Graduated load application to restore original performance
- Walking pattern assessment: Correcting movement faults contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in movement capacity within the EastCoastInjury.com initial treatment phase (based on validated outcome measures).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Board-certified massage therapists perform focused manual techniques to address:
- Trigger point deactivation: Reducing referred pain patterns from tissue restrictions
- Fascial restriction release: Restoring normal tissue movement and reducing compensatory strain
- Lymphatic drainage: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution post-accident
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Avoiding permanent restrictions after recent trauma
Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, advancing to periodic check-ins as symptoms improve.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our chiropractic physicians utilize diversified technique, drop-table adjustments, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Addressing spinal misalignment causing nerve root irritation
- Intervertebral motion: Restoring segmental mobility in fixated segments
- Postural balance: Treating shoulder protraction and other postural distortions
- Intervertebral disc function: Enhancing disc hydration and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure optimal care selection.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Acoustic wave treatment: Targeted thermal therapy to promote collagen extensibility and accelerate tendon healing
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Reducing acute muscle spasm and enhancing blood flow
- Cryotherapy protocols: Managing acute inflammation while reducing pain medication needs
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Enhancing body awareness and facilitating healing during movement-based activities

This means:
- Quantifiable objectives: Each program establishes clear benchmarks (e.g., "increase cervical rotation to 75 degrees within 3 weeks")
- Data-driven monitoring: We document improvements using validated outcome measures, not patient reports exclusively
- Progressive load application: Structured return to work/sport protocols that align repair stages with performance needs
- Future injury reduction: Identifying biomechanical risk factors and teaching protective techniques to maintain recovery

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Referral not required. State law permits self-referral to our treatment modalities without medical prescription. However, if you're using insurance, 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. State regulations mandate 14-day evaluation window of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need X-rays or MRI?
We request scans based on examination findings based on clinical assessment results, trauma details, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships 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. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require three to four months. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to nervous system adaptations.
What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?
We facilitate provider changes and will request records from your previous provider to ensure uninterrupted service.
