Our Clinical Treatment Approaches
1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize biomechanical assessment and functional capacity evaluation to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Rebuilding spatial awareness after ligamentous injury
- Neuromuscular re-education: Addressing faulty mechanics that prevent healing
- Functional strength building: Progressive resistance training to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Walking pattern assessment: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to lower extremity pain
Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in daily activity performance within the initial treatment phase (based on validated outcome measures).
2. Soft Tissue Mobilization
Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform focused manual techniques to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Eliminating radiating discomfort from tissue restrictions
- Tissue glide restoration: Improving tissue glide and minimizing protective tension
- Edema management: Speeding swelling reduction after trauma
- Adhesion breakdown: Maintaining tissue pliability after initial damage
Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, transitioning to maintenance care as tissue healing progresses.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our chiropractic physicians utilize diversified technique, drop-table adjustments, and tool-based adjustments to restore:

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No. You can schedule independently to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without doctor's orders. However, if you're using insurance, check your coverage details.
How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?
Prompt assessment is optimal. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. 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 professional connections with area diagnostic facilities for rapid appointment access.
How long will treatment take?
Recent trauma usually needs two to three months of active rehabilitation. Severe trauma affecting multiple body regions may require up to four months. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to nervous system adaptations.
How do I switch clinics mid-treatment?
We facilitate provider changes and will gather historical medical information to ensure uninterrupted service.
