Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize functional capacity evaluation and functional capacity evaluation to design staged recovery plans targeting:

Balance and coordination recovery: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after joint trauma
Movement pattern correction: Retraining optimal movement that maintain symptoms
Therapeutic strengthening: Progressive resistance training to restore baseline functional capacity
Walking pattern assessment: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to movement-related discomfort

Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in movement capacity within 4-6 weeks (based on validated outcome measures).

Vertebral movement: Restoring segmental mobility in fixated segments
Postural balance: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and structural imbalances
Intervertebral disc function: Promoting nutrient exchange and minimizing compressive forces

Recurrence avoidance: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and implementing preventive measures to avoid recurrence

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a doctor's referral required?

Not necessary. Florida allows direct access to these conservative care services without medical prescription. However, if you're billing your health plan, confirm your policy terms.

How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?

Schedule as soon as possible. Postponing care risks long-term complications. State regulations mandate 14-day evaluation window of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.

Will I need advanced testing?

We request scans based on examination findings based on examination findings, accident circumstances, or lack of expected progress. We maintain referral relationships with regional radiology providers for expedited scheduling.

How long will treatment take?

Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks 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 neuroplastic changes in pain processing.

How do I switch clinics mid-treatment?

We accept mid-treatment transitions and will request records from your previous provider to ensure seamless care progression.
