Atlantic Rehab: Your Reliable Companion in Recovery

Jacksonville's Premier Injury Treatment Center: Evidence-Based Treatment for Motor Vehicle Collisions, Work-Related Accidents & Persistent Pain Conditions

East Coast Injury Clinic – Restoring Function Through Multidisciplinary Care

When a car accident, workplace accident, or athletic trauma limits your mobility, you need more than basic care. You need a medical staff that understands the mechanics of musculoskeletal injury, the nerve-related effects of cervical spine trauma, and the documented protocols that speed recovery while preventing chronic pain development.

At our injury treatment center, our comprehensive treatment philosophy combines orthopedic assessment, functional restoration therapy, and evidence-based manual therapy to address the source of your pain, not just mask the pain.

Our Clinical Treatment Approaches

1. Therapeutic Exercise Programs

Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize biomechanical assessment and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:

Proprioceptive retraining: Restoring joint position sense after joint trauma
Motor control exercises: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that perpetuate pain
Functional strength building: Graduated load application to restore pre-injury strength levels
Gait analysis and correction: Optimizing stride mechanics contributing to movement-related discomfort

Clinical outcome: Most patients show significant functional gains in daily activity performance within the initial treatment phase (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).

2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment

Licensed therapeutic bodywork specialists perform focused manual techniques to address:

Pain knot elimination: Addressing pain spread from tissue restrictions
Tissue glide restoration: Improving tissue glide and minimizing protective tension
Lymphatic drainage: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution following injury
Scar tissue remodeling: Avoiding permanent restrictions after acute injury

Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, transitioning to maintenance care as recovery advances.

3. Joint Mobilization Treatment

Our chiropractic physicians utilize manual adjustment methods, mechanical-assisted treatment, and device-aided mobilization to restore:

Spinal positioning: Restoring proper vertebral position causing radicular symptoms
Spinal segment mobility: Enhancing spinal flexibility in restricted areas
Structural alignment: Treating shoulder protraction and structural imbalances
Intervertebral disc function: Facilitating disc nutrition and reducing mechanical disc stress

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

4. Supporting Therapy Options

Therapeutic ultrasound: Controlled heat application to improve elastic properties and accelerate tendon healing
E-stim therapy: Reducing acute muscle spasm and improving tissue perfusion
Cryotherapy protocols: Reducing tissue irritation while minimizing analgesic dependency
Elastic therapeutic tape application: Enhancing body awareness and facilitating healing during daily tasks
Warm compress application: Increasing tissue extensibility before manual treatment

Home Management Guidance

We provide detailed home exercise programs, desk arrangement reviews, and risk reduction techniques to prevent re-injury.

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

Traditional approaches target symptoms exclusively through equipment-based therapy or drug-based treatment. While pain reduction is important, our primary objective is restoring your pre-injury functional capacity.

This means:

Documented targets: All care plans feature concrete milestones (e.g., "restore lumbar extension to 25 degrees within one month")
Measurement-based assessment: We document improvements using validated outcome measures, not symptom descriptions only
Progressive load application: Phased reintegration programs that align repair stages with performance needs
Recurrence avoidance: Identifying biomechanical risk factors and providing corrective strategies to prevent re-injury

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to be seen?

No. Florida allows direct access to chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy without physician referral. However, if you're billing your health plan, verify your plan's requirements.

What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?

Schedule as soon as possible. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. Florida law requires medical evaluation within 14 days of an auto accident to preserve insurance coverage.

Will I need diagnostic imaging?

Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on physical evaluation data, trauma details, or lack of expected progress. We maintain referral relationships with regional radiology providers for rapid appointment access.

What's the expected recovery timeframe?

Recent trauma usually needs two to three months of therapeutic intervention. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require three to four months. Persistent conditions demand sustained intervention due to altered pain perception patterns.

What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?

We facilitate provider changes and will request records from your previous provider to ensure seamless care progression.
