Our Proven Therapeutic Interventions
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize biomechanical assessment and mobility screening to design progressive exercise protocols targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Restoring joint position sense after ligamentous injury
- Motor control exercises: Addressing faulty mechanics that perpetuate pain
- Progressive resistance training: Progressive resistance training to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Walking pattern assessment: Correcting movement faults contributing to lower extremity pain
Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in movement capacity within one to two months (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Soft Tissue Mobilization
Board-certified massage therapists perform focused manual techniques to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Addressing pain spread from myofascial adhesions
- Fascial restriction release: Enhancing fascial mobility and minimizing protective tension
- Lymphatic drainage: Promoting fluid clearance post-accident
- Adhesion breakdown: Maintaining tissue pliability after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, progressing to less frequent sessions as recovery advances.
3. Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize hands-on manipulation, drop-table adjustments, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Correcting subluxation patterns causing neural compression
- Spinal segment mobility: Enhancing spinal flexibility in hypomobile spinal regions
- Structural alignment: Treating shoulder protraction and other postural distortions
- Intervertebral disc function: Facilitating disc nutrition and decreasing pressure loads
Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Therapeutic ultrasound: Deep tissue heating to promote collagen extensibility and promote soft tissue repair
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Reducing acute muscle spasm and improving tissue perfusion
- Cryotherapy protocols: Controlling swelling while minimizing analgesic dependency
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during functional activities
- Thermotherapy: Increasing tissue extensibility before manual treatment
