East Coast Injury Clinic – Recovering Mobility Through Multidisciplinary Care

When a car accident, occupational injury, or athletic trauma limits your mobility, you need more than standard protocols.

Our Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities

1. Functional Movement Restoration

Our licensed physical therapists utilize movement analysis and performance testing to design graduated rehabilitation programs targeting:

Joint position sense restoration: Recovering kinesthetic feedback after ligamentous injury
Motor control exercises: Correcting compensatory movement patterns that maintain symptoms
Progressive resistance training: Graduated load application to restore baseline functional capacity
Walking pattern assessment: Correcting movement faults contributing to lower extremity pain

Clinical outcome: 87% of patients demonstrate measurable improvement in daily activity performance within one to two months (based on Oswestry Disability Index scores).

2. Myofascial Release and Manual Therapy

Board-certified massage therapists perform precision hands-on treatment to address:

Myofascial trigger point release: Addressing pain spread from myofascial adhesions
Tissue glide restoration: Restoring normal tissue movement and decreasing secondary stress
Lymphatic drainage: Promoting fluid clearance after trauma
Adhesion breakdown: Avoiding permanent restrictions after recent trauma

Treatment frequency: Initial phase requires 2-3 sessions weekly, transitioning to maintenance care as recovery advances.

3. Joint Mobilization Treatment

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

Segmental arrangement: Restoring proper vertebral position causing radicular symptoms
Intervertebral motion: Improving joint motion in restricted areas
Postural balance: Treating shoulder protraction and structural imbalances
Spinal cushioning: Promoting nutrient exchange and decreasing pressure loads

Safety profile: Comprehensive examination precedes treatment to ensure optimal care selection.

4. Supporting Therapy Options

Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Targeted thermal therapy to promote collagen extensibility and speed ligament recovery
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Relieving protective tension and enhancing blood flow
Cold therapy application: Managing acute inflammation while reducing pain medication needs
Kinesiology taping: Supporting sensory input and supporting injured tissues during daily tasks
Heat therapy: Enhancing circulation before therapeutic exercise

Why Jacksonville Residents Choose East Coast Injury Clinic

Immediate Evaluation Options

Immediate care prevents complications. We prioritize acute injuries within the same day to avoid long-term complications.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) & Workers' Compensation Accepted

No Out-of-Pocket Costs for Auto Accident Cases

No-fault insurance benefits provides instant treatment availability regardless of fault determination.

Team-Based Care Approach

Your care team communicates weekly to modify treatment plans based on objective improvement metrics (mobility testing, pain scale reductions, functional capacity improvements).

Self-Care Instruction

We provide comprehensive self-treatment protocols, desk arrangement reviews, and protective movement patterns to minimize future problems.

Our Clinical Philosophy: Return to Activity, Not Just Symptom Control

Traditional approaches target symptoms exclusively through passive modalities or drug-based treatment. While discomfort control is valuable, our primary objective is recovering your original performance level.

This means:

Quantifiable objectives: Every treatment plan includes specific, time-bound objectives (e.g., "improve shoulder flexion to 150 degrees in 4 weeks")
Objective progress tracking: We record progress using proven evaluation methods, not subjective pain scales alone
Gradual activity progression: Structured return to work/sport protocols that balance tissue healing timelines with functional demands
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 these conservative care services without medical prescription. more info However, if you're billing your health plan, check your coverage details.

What's the ideal timeframe for beginning care?

Immediate evaluation is recommended. Waiting may convert temporary problems into permanent conditions. State regulations mandate 14-day evaluation window of an auto accident to retain no-fault protection.

Will I need X-rays or MRI?

Diagnostic imaging is ordered only when clinically indicated based on clinical assessment results, accident circumstances, or treatment plateau. We maintain referral relationships with area diagnostic facilities for rapid appointment access.

What's the expected recovery timeframe?

Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of active rehabilitation. Complex cases involving disc herniation or multi-level involvement may require three to four months. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.

What if I'm still being treated elsewhere?

We welcome transfer of care and will gather historical medical information to ensure uninterrupted service.
