East Coast Injury Clinic – Restoring Function Through Multidisciplinary Care

When a car accident, occupational injury, or exercise-related damage limits your mobility, you need more than generic treatment.

Our Proven Therapeutic Interventions

1. Functional Movement Restoration

Our certified rehabilitation specialists utilize functional capacity evaluation and mobility screening to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:

  • Balance and coordination recovery: Rebuilding spatial awareness after connective tissue damage
  • Motor control exercises: Addressing faulty mechanics that prevent healing
  • 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 movement capacity within one to two months (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).

2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment

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

  • Myofascial trigger point release: Eliminating radiating discomfort from tissue restrictions
  • Connective tissue mobilization: Enhancing fascial mobility and minimizing protective tension
  • Edema management: Speeding swelling reduction post-accident
  • Adhesion breakdown: Maintaining tissue pliability after acute injury

Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, advancing to periodic check-ins as symptoms improve.

3. Joint Mobilization Treatment

Our chiropractic physicians utilize hands-on manipulation, mechanical-assisted treatment, and instrument-assisted manipulation to restore:

  • Spinal positioning: Correcting subluxation patterns causing radicular symptoms
  • Spinal segment mobility: Enhancing spinal flexibility in restricted areas
  • Postural balance: Correcting anterior pelvic tilt and other postural distortions
  • Spinal cushioning: Enhancing disc hydration and minimizing compressive forces

Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure treatment safety.

4. Adjunctive Treatment Modalities

  • Acoustic wave treatment: Deep tissue heating to enhance tissue flexibility and accelerate tendon healing
  • Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS): Decreasing involuntary contraction and enhancing blood flow
  • Cryotherapy protocols: Reducing tissue irritation while minimizing analgesic dependency
  • Kinesiology taping: Enhancing body awareness and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
  • Thermotherapy: Promoting muscle relaxation before manual treatment

Our Clinical Philosophy: Functional Restoration, Not Just Symptom Control

Traditional approaches target symptoms exclusively through hands-off techniques or medication management. While pain reduction is important, our primary objective is recovering your original performance level.

This means:

  • Documented targets: Every treatment plan includes specific, time-bound objectives (e.g., "improve shoulder flexion to 150 degrees in 4 weeks")
  • Objective progress tracking: We document improvements using validated outcome measures, not subjective pain scales alone
  • Staged return to function: Structured return to work/sport protocols that align repair stages with performance needs
  • Recurrence avoidance: Identifying biomechanical risk factors and teaching protective techniques to avoid recurrence

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule without a physician order?

Not necessary. You can schedule independently to our treatment modalities without medical prescription. However, if you're billing your health plan, check your coverage details.

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. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.

Will I need diagnostic imaging?

Diagnostic imaging is ordered only when clinically indicated based on clinical assessment results, accident circumstances, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with local imaging centers for expedited scheduling.

How many sessions will I need?

Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of active rehabilitation. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require three to four months. Chronic pain conditions require longer treatment duration due to altered pain perception patterns.

How do I switch clinics mid-treatment?

We facilitate provider changes and will request records from your previous provider to ensure treatment continuity.
