Our Clinical Treatment Approaches
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize movement analysis and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Restoring joint position sense after ligamentous injury
- Movement pattern correction: Addressing faulty mechanics that maintain symptoms
- Therapeutic strengthening: Systematic strength development to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Walking pattern assessment: Correcting movement faults contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in movement capacity within one to two months (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Myofascial trigger point release: Reducing referred pain patterns from fascial knots
- Connective tissue mobilization: Restoring normal tissue movement and decreasing secondary stress
- Edema management: Speeding swelling reduction following injury
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Avoiding permanent restrictions after recent trauma
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, transitioning to maintenance care as tissue healing progresses.
3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize manual adjustment methods, drop-table adjustments, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Segmental arrangement: Addressing spinal misalignment causing neural compression
- Vertebral movement: Improving joint motion in restricted areas
- Biomechanical equilibrium: Addressing forward head posture and alignment deficiencies
- Spinal cushioning: Facilitating disc nutrition and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure optimal care selection.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Therapeutic ultrasound: Controlled heat application to enhance tissue flexibility and accelerate tendon healing
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Relieving protective tension and improving tissue perfusion
- Cold therapy application: Managing acute inflammation while minimizing analgesic dependency
- Kinesiology taping: Enhancing body awareness and protecting damaged structures during daily tasks
- Thermotherapy: Enhancing circulation before manual treatment

Self-Care Instruction
We provide comprehensive self-treatment protocols, workplace setup evaluations, and injury prevention strategies to minimize future problems.
Our Clinical Philosophy: Return to Activity, Not Just Symptom Control
Most treatment centers emphasize pain reduction only through hands-off techniques or pharmaceutical intervention. While discomfort control is valuable, our primary objective is returning you to full activity.
This means:
- Documented targets: All care plans feature concrete milestones (e.g., "improve shoulder flexion to 150 degrees in 4 weeks")
- Measurement-based assessment: We record progress using validated outcome measures, not patient reports exclusively
- Progressive load application: Structured return to work/sport protocols that align repair stages with performance needs
- Long-term prevention: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and providing corrective strategies to avoid recurrence

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a doctor's referral required?
Referral not required. 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.
When should I schedule my first appointment after injury?
Schedule as soon as possible. Waiting may convert temporary problems into permanent conditions. 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 clinical assessment results, trauma details, or lack of expected progress. We maintain professional connections with regional radiology providers for rapid appointment access.
What's the expected recovery timeframe?
Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of structured treatment. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require up to four months. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.
What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?
We welcome transfer of care and will gather historical medical information to ensure treatment continuity.
