East Coast Injury Clinic – Recovering Mobility Through Multidisciplinary Care

When a car accident, workplace accident, or exercise-related damage limits your mobility, you need more than standard protocols. You need a healthcare professionals that understands the physiology of trauma recovery, the nervous system consequences of whiplash injuries, and the documented protocols that promote optimal healing while reducing recurrence risk.

Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities

1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs

Our licensed physical therapists utilize movement analysis and functional capacity evaluation to design progressive exercise protocols targeting:

• Balance and coordination recovery: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after ligamentous injury
• Neuromuscular re-education: Retraining optimal movement that perpetuate pain
• Progressive resistance training: Progressive resistance training to restore pre-injury strength levels
• Gait analysis and correction: Correcting movement faults contributing to leg and foot problems

Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in functional mobility within 4-6 weeks (based on validated outcome measures).

2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment

Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform precision hands-on treatment to address:

• Trigger point deactivation: Reducing referred pain patterns from tissue restrictions
• Tissue glide restoration: Enhancing fascial mobility and minimizing protective tension
• Fluid mobilization: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution post-accident
• Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Maintaining tissue pliability after initial damage

Treatment frequency: Early treatment involves frequent visits, transitioning to maintenance care as recovery advances.

3. Joint Mobilization Treatment

Our spinal manipulation specialists utilize hands-on manipulation, mechanical-assisted treatment, and device-aided mobilization to restore:

• Vertebral alignment: Correcting subluxation patterns causing neural compression
• Spinal segment mobility: Enhancing spinal flexibility in fixated segments
• Biomechanical equilibrium: Addressing forward head posture and other postural distortions
• Disc health: Facilitating disc nutrition and minimizing compressive forces

Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.

4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities

• Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Controlled heat application to enhance tissue flexibility and accelerate tendon healing
• E-stim therapy: Relieving protective tension and enhancing blood flow
• Ice treatment regimens: Controlling swelling while reducing pain medication needs
• Kinesiology taping: Enhancing body awareness and facilitating healing during daily tasks
• Heat therapy: Increasing tissue extensibility before rehabilitation activities

Our Clinical Philosophy: Performance Recovery, Not Just Pain Management

Many injury clinics focus solely on symptomatic relief through passive modalities or medication management. While discomfort control is valuable, our primary objective is returning you to full activity.

This means:

• Documented targets: Every treatment plan includes specific, time-bound objectives (e.g., "increase cervical rotation to 75 degrees within 3 weeks")
• Data-driven monitoring: We track advancement using standardized assessment tools, not symptom descriptions only
• Progressive load application: Structured return to work/sport protocols that match recovery phases to activity requirements
• Recurrence avoidance: Recognizing movement vulnerabilities and teaching protective techniques to maintain recovery

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to be seen?

Referral not required. State law permits self-referral to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without doctor's orders. However, website if you're billing your health plan, verify your plan's requirements.

What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?

Prompt assessment is optimal. Waiting may convert temporary problems into permanent conditions. Florida law requires medical evaluation within 14 days of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.

Will I need advanced testing?

Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on physical evaluation data, accident circumstances, or treatment plateau. We maintain collaborative partnerships with local imaging centers for expedited scheduling.

How long will treatment take?

Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of active rehabilitation. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require up to four months. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.

Can I transfer from another provider?

We welcome transfer of care and will obtain prior treatment documentation to ensure treatment continuity.
