Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs
Our licensed physical therapists utilize biomechanical assessment and mobility screening to design staged recovery plans targeting:
- Proprioceptive retraining: Restoring joint position sense after joint trauma
- Neuromuscular re-education: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that perpetuate pain
- Therapeutic strengthening: Systematic strength development to restore pre-injury strength levels
- Walking pattern assessment: Correcting movement faults contributing to movement-related discomfort
Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in movement capacity within one to two months (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment
Board-certified massage therapists perform focused manual techniques to address:
- Trigger point deactivation: Addressing pain spread from myofascial adhesions
- Tissue glide restoration: Restoring normal tissue movement and decreasing secondary stress
- Edema management: Speeding swelling reduction after trauma
- Adhesion breakdown: Preventing chronic fibrosis after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, progressing to less frequent sessions as recovery advances.
3. Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation
Our spinal manipulation specialists utilize diversified technique, drop-table adjustments, and tool-based adjustments to restore:
- Segmental arrangement: Addressing spinal misalignment causing radicular symptoms
- Intervertebral motion: Improving joint motion in hypomobile spinal regions
- Structural alignment: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and alignment deficiencies
- Intervertebral disc function: Promoting nutrient exchange and reducing mechanical disc stress
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Acoustic wave treatment: Deep tissue heating to enhance tissue flexibility and promote soft tissue repair
- Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS): Relieving protective tension and improving tissue perfusion
- Ice treatment regimens: Managing acute inflammation while reducing pain medication needs
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Providing proprioceptive feedback and facilitating healing during movement-based activities
- Heat therapy: Enhancing circulation before rehabilitation activities

Traditional approaches target symptoms exclusively through hands-off East Coast Injury techniques or medication management. While pain reduction is important, our primary objective is restoring your pre-injury functional capacity.
This means:
- Quantifiable objectives: Each program establishes clear benchmarks (e.g., "increase cervical rotation to 75 degrees within 3 weeks")
- Measurement-based assessment: We record progress using validated outcome measures, not symptom descriptions only
- Progressive load application: Structured return to work/sport protocols that align repair stages with performance needs
- Long-term prevention: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and teaching protective techniques to prevent re-injury

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Not necessary. State law permits self-referral to these conservative care services without doctor's orders. However, if you're using insurance, verify your plan's requirements.
When should I schedule my first appointment after injury?
Prompt assessment is optimal. Postponing care risks long-term complications. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation 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, mechanism of injury, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with area diagnostic facilities for rapid appointment access.
How many sessions will I need?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of structured treatment. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require 12-16 weeks. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.
What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?
We welcome transfer of care and will request records from your previous provider to ensure treatment continuity.
