Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our movement therapy experts utilize movement analysis and functional capacity evaluation to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Balance and coordination recovery: Restoring joint position sense after joint trauma
- Movement pattern correction: Addressing faulty mechanics that maintain symptoms
- Functional strength building: Systematic strength development to restore baseline functional capacity
- Walking pattern assessment: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in functional mobility within the initial treatment phase (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Board-certified massage therapists perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Myofascial trigger point release: Addressing pain spread from myofascial adhesions
- Tissue glide restoration: Improving tissue glide and reducing compensatory strain
- Fluid mobilization: Speeding swelling reduction following injury
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Avoiding permanent restrictions after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, progressing to less frequent sessions as tissue healing progresses.
3. Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation
Our spinal manipulation specialists utilize diversified technique, table-facilitated therapy, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Spinal positioning: Restoring proper vertebral position causing nerve root irritation
- Vertebral movement: Improving joint motion in restricted areas
- Structural alignment: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and alignment deficiencies
- Spinal cushioning: Promoting nutrient exchange and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: All patients undergo orthopedic and neurological screening to ensure treatment safety.
4. Supporting Therapy Options
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Controlled heat application to enhance tissue flexibility and promote soft tissue repair
- E-stim therapy: Decreasing involuntary contraction and promoting circulation
- Cold therapy application: Managing acute inflammation while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Providing proprioceptive feedback and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
- Warm compress application: Enhancing circulation before rehabilitation activities

Our Clinical Philosophy: Performance Recovery, Not Just Symptom Control
Traditional approaches target symptoms exclusively through hands-off techniques or medication management. While discomfort control is valuable, our primary objective is returning you to full activity.
This means:
- Measurable goals: Every treatment plan includes specific, time-bound objectives (e.g., "improve shoulder flexion to 150 degrees in 4 weeks")
- Data-driven monitoring: We record progress using validated outcome measures, not symptom descriptions only
- Gradual activity progression: Systematic activity advancement that align repair stages with performance needs
- Recurrence avoidance: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and teaching protective techniques to maintain recovery

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 doctor's orders. However, if you're submitting claims, confirm your policy terms.
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 retain no-fault protection.
Will I need advanced testing?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on physical evaluation data, mechanism of injury, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with local imaging centers for fast-tracked testing.
How many sessions will I need?
Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of therapeutic intervention. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require three to four months. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to nervous system adaptations.
What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?
We facilitate provider changes and will obtain prior treatment documentation to ensure uninterrupted service.
