Our Clinical Treatment Approaches
1. Functional Movement Restoration
Our movement therapy experts utilize movement analysis and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Balance and coordination recovery: Restoring joint position sense after ligamentous injury
- Movement pattern correction: Retraining optimal movement that maintain symptoms
- Therapeutic strengthening: Graduated load application to restore baseline functional capacity
- Walking pattern assessment: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in functional mobility within 4-6 weeks (based on validated outcome measures).
2. Soft Tissue Mobilization
Board-certified massage therapists perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Trigger point deactivation: Reducing referred pain patterns from myofascial adhesions
- Connective tissue mobilization: Improving tissue glide and minimizing protective tension
- Lymphatic drainage: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution following injury
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Preventing chronic fibrosis after recent trauma
Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, advancing to periodic check-ins as recovery advances.
3. Joint Mobilization Treatment
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize hands-on manipulation, table-facilitated therapy, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Restoring proper vertebral position causing radicular symptoms
- Intervertebral motion: Enhancing spinal flexibility in hypomobile spinal regions
- Structural alignment: Treating shoulder protraction and alignment deficiencies
- Spinal cushioning: Facilitating disc nutrition and reducing mechanical disc stress
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Therapeutic ultrasound: Deep tissue heating to improve elastic properties and promote soft tissue repair
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Decreasing involuntary contraction and enhancing blood flow
- Ice treatment regimens: Controlling swelling while reducing pain medication needs
- Kinesiology taping: Providing proprioceptive feedback and protecting damaged structures during movement-based activities
- Heat therapy: Enhancing circulation before therapeutic exercise

This means:
- Measurable goals: Each program establishes clear benchmarks (e.g., "increase cervical rotation to 75 degrees within 3 weeks")
- Data-driven monitoring: We record progress using validated outcome measures, not subjective pain scales alone
- Staged return to function: Phased reintegration programs that align repair stages with performance needs
- Future injury reduction: Detecting functional weaknesses and teaching protective techniques to prevent re-injury

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 medical prescription. However, if you're submitting claims, check your coverage details.
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 maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need X-rays or MRI?
Diagnostic imaging is ordered only when clinically indicated based on physical evaluation data, trauma details, or treatment plateau. We maintain collaborative partnerships with regional radiology providers for expedited scheduling.
How long will treatment take?
Recent trauma usually needs two to three months of structured treatment. 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 accept mid-treatment transitions and will gather historical medical information to ensure seamless care progression.
