Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize biomechanical assessment and performance testing to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Proprioceptive retraining: Rebuilding spatial awareness after joint trauma
- Movement pattern correction: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that perpetuate pain
- Functional strength building: Systematic strength development to restore baseline functional capacity
- Locomotion optimization: Correcting movement faults contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in movement capacity within the initial treatment phase (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Certified manual therapy practitioners perform precision hands-on treatment to address:
- Trigger point deactivation: Addressing pain spread from tissue restrictions
- Tissue glide restoration: Restoring normal tissue movement and decreasing secondary stress
- Fluid mobilization: Promoting fluid clearance after trauma
- Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Preventing chronic fibrosis after initial damage
Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, transitioning to maintenance care as recovery advances.
3. Joint Mobilization Treatment
Our chiropractic physicians utilize manual adjustment methods, drop-table adjustments, and instrument-assisted manipulation to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Restoring proper vertebral position causing radicular symptoms
- Vertebral movement: Enhancing spinal flexibility in restricted areas
- Biomechanical equilibrium: Treating shoulder protraction and other postural distortions
- Spinal cushioning: Promoting nutrient exchange and decreasing pressure loads
Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure treatment safety.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Targeted thermal therapy to enhance tissue flexibility and speed ligament recovery
- Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS): Decreasing involuntary contraction and promoting circulation
- Cryotherapy protocols: Reducing tissue irritation while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
- Thermotherapy: Enhancing circulation before manual treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule without a physician order?
Not necessary. State law permits self-referral to our treatment modalities without doctor's orders. However, if you're using insurance, check your coverage details.
What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?
Immediate evaluation is recommended. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.
Will I need X-rays or MRI?
We request scans based on examination findings based on physical evaluation data, mechanism of injury, or treatment plateau. We maintain professional connections with area diagnostic facilities for expedited scheduling.
How many sessions will I need?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of structured treatment. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require 12-16 weeks. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to altered pain perception patterns.
Can I transfer from another provider?
We facilitate provider changes and will request records from your previous provider to ensure treatment continuity.
