Our Clinical Treatment Approaches
1. Functional Movement Restoration
Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize biomechanical assessment and functional capacity evaluation to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after joint trauma
- Neuromuscular re-education: Retraining optimal movement that prevent healing
- Therapeutic strengthening: Graduated load application to restore baseline functional capacity
- Walking pattern assessment: Addressing biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in functional mobility within one to two months (based on validated outcome measures).
2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy
Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform targeted soft tissue mobilization to address:
- Trigger point deactivation: Reducing referred pain patterns from myofascial adhesions
- Tissue glide restoration: Improving tissue glide and minimizing protective tension
- Lymphatic drainage: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution post-accident
- Scar tissue remodeling: Preventing chronic fibrosis after acute injury
Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, progressing to less frequent sessions as tissue healing progresses.
3. Joint Mobilization Treatment
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize hands-on manipulation, drop-table adjustments, and device-aided mobilization to restore:
- Vertebral alignment: Correcting subluxation patterns causing neural compression
- Intervertebral motion: Restoring segmental mobility in restricted areas
- Structural alignment: Addressing forward head posture and alignment deficiencies
- Disc health: Promoting nutrient exchange and minimizing compressive forces
Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.
4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Controlled heat application to improve elastic properties and speed ligament recovery
- E-stim therapy: Decreasing involuntary contraction and enhancing blood flow
- Cold therapy application: Reducing tissue irritation while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
- Therapeutic taping: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
- Thermotherapy: Enhancing circulation before therapeutic exercise

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Referral not required. You can schedule independently to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without doctor's orders. However, if you're billing your health plan, verify your plan's requirements.
When should I schedule my first appointment after injury?
Prompt assessment is optimal. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need advanced testing?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on physical evaluation data, EastCoastInjury.com trauma details, or failure to respond to initial conservative care. We maintain professional connections with area diagnostic facilities for fast-tracked testing.
How long will treatment take?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of structured treatment. Severe trauma affecting multiple body regions may require three to four months. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to altered pain perception patterns.
How do I switch clinics mid-treatment?
We welcome transfer of care and will obtain prior treatment documentation to ensure uninterrupted service.
