Atlantic Rehab: Your Reliable Companion in Recovery

Comprehensive Injury Recovery in Jacksonville: Evidence-Based Treatment for Car Accident Injuries, Occupational Trauma & Persistent Pain Conditions

East Coast Injury Clinic – Restoring Function Through Comprehensive Treatment Protocols

When a auto accident, work-related trauma, or athletic trauma limits your mobility, you need more than standard protocols. You need a clinical team that understands the physiology of trauma recovery, the nervous system consequences of neck injuries, and the documented protocols that accelerate tissue healing while reducing recurrence risk.

At our injury treatment center, our multidisciplinary approach combines orthopedic assessment, neuromuscular rehabilitation, and evidence-based manual therapy to address the root cause of your symptoms, not just mask the pain.

Our Clinical Treatment Approaches

1. Functional Movement Restoration

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

• Balance and coordination recovery: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after ligamentous injury
• Neuromuscular re-education: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that perpetuate pain
• Therapeutic strengthening: Progressive resistance training to restore baseline functional capacity
• Locomotion optimization: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to lower extremity pain

Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in functional mobility within the initial treatment phase (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).

2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment

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

• Pain knot elimination: Eliminating radiating discomfort from myofascial adhesions
• Tissue glide restoration: Restoring normal tissue movement and minimizing protective tension
• Edema management: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution after trauma
• Fibrotic tissue mobilization: Maintaining tissue pliability after recent trauma

Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, transitioning to maintenance care as tissue healing progresses.

3. Spinal Adjustment Therapy

Our spinal manipulation specialists utilize diversified technique, drop-table adjustments, and tool-based adjustments to restore:

• Segmental arrangement: Restoring proper vertebral position causing radicular symptoms
• Vertebral movement: Improving joint motion in restricted areas
• Structural alignment: Treating shoulder protraction and alignment deficiencies
• Intervertebral disc function: Enhancing disc hydration and decreasing pressure loads

Safety profile: Thorough assessment ensures appropriateness to ensure appropriateness for manipulative therapy.

4. Supporting Therapy Options

• Acoustic wave treatment: Controlled heat application to enhance tissue flexibility and speed ligament recovery
• Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Decreasing involuntary contraction and improving tissue perfusion
• Cryotherapy protocols: Managing acute inflammation while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
• Therapeutic taping: Providing proprioceptive feedback and facilitating healing during functional activities
• Thermotherapy: Enhancing circulation before therapeutic exercise

Home Management Guidance

We provide detailed home exercise programs, workplace setup evaluations, and risk reduction techniques to minimize future problems.

Our Clinical Philosophy: Return to Activity, Not Just Temporary Relief

Many injury clinics focus solely on symptomatic relief through equipment-based therapy or pharmaceutical intervention. While pain reduction is important, our primary objective is restoring your pre-injury functional capacity.

This means:

• Measurable goals: All care plans feature concrete milestones (e.g., "improve shoulder flexion to 150 degrees in 4 weeks")
• Objective progress tracking: We record progress using standardized assessment tools, not symptom descriptions only
• Gradual activity progression: Systematic activity advancement that align repair stages with performance needs
• Long-term prevention: Detecting functional weaknesses and implementing preventive measures to prevent re-injury

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule without a physician order?

Referral not required. State law permits self-referral to our treatment modalities without physician referral. However, if you're submitting claims, confirm your policy terms.

How soon after an accident should I seek treatment?

Schedule as soon as possible. Waiting may convert temporary problems into permanent conditions. State regulations mandate 14-day evaluation window of an auto accident to preserve insurance coverage.

Will I need advanced testing?

Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on physical evaluation data, mechanism of injury, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with local imaging centers for expedited scheduling.

How many sessions will I need?

Fresh injuries often demand 1.5 to 3 months of structured treatment. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require three to four months. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to altered pain perception patterns.

Can I transfer from another provider?

We welcome transfer of care and will request records from your previous provider to ensure seamless care progression.
