Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities

1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy

Our licensed physical therapists utilize functional capacity evaluation and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:

Balance and coordination recovery: Rebuilding spatial awareness after joint trauma
Neuromuscular re-education: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that maintain symptoms
Functional strength building: Graduated load application to restore baseline functional capacity
Walking pattern assessment: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to movement-related discomfort

Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in functional mobility within 4-6 weeks (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).

2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy

Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform focused manual techniques to address:

Pain knot elimination: Reducing referred pain patterns from fascial knots
Fascial restriction release: Enhancing fascial mobility and reducing compensatory strain
Lymphatic drainage: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution post-accident
Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Avoiding permanent restrictions after recent trauma

Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, transitioning to maintenance care as tissue healing progresses.

3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy

Our doctors of chiropractic utilize hands-on manipulation, table-facilitated therapy, and device-aided mobilization to restore:

Vertebral alignment: Restoring proper vertebral position causing nerve root irritation
Spinal segment mobility: Restoring segmental mobility in fixated segments
Biomechanical equilibrium: Treating shoulder protraction and other postural distortions
Disc health: Promoting nutrient exchange and decreasing pressure loads

Safety profile: All patients undergo orthopedic and neurological screening to ensure treatment safety.

4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities

Acoustic wave treatment: Controlled heat application to promote collagen extensibility and promote soft tissue repair
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Reducing acute muscle spasm and enhancing blood flow
Ice treatment regimens: Reducing tissue irritation while minimizing analgesic dependency
Therapeutic taping: Enhancing body awareness and supporting injured tissues during movement-based activities
Thermotherapy: Enhancing circulation before rehabilitation activities
