East Coast Injury Clinic – Recovering Mobility Through Integrated Rehabilitation
When a auto accident, occupational injury, or athletic trauma limits your mobility, you need more than basic care.

Our Proven Therapeutic Interventions
1. Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Therapy
Our licensed physical therapists utilize biomechanical assessment and performance testing to design progressive exercise protocols targeting:
- Joint position sense restoration: Restoring joint position sense after ligamentous injury
- Movement pattern correction: Retraining optimal movement that prevent healing
- Progressive resistance training: Systematic strength development to restore original performance
- Gait analysis and correction: Correcting movement faults contributing to leg and foot problems
Clinical outcome: The majority of cases exhibit documented progress in daily activity performance within the initial treatment phase (based on standardized assessment tools).
2. Hands-On Therapeutic Treatment
Board-certified massage therapists perform targeted soft tissue mobilization to address:
- Pain knot elimination: Reducing referred pain patterns from myofascial adhesions
- Fascial restriction release: Restoring normal tissue movement and reducing compensatory strain
- Fluid mobilization: Accelerating post-traumatic edema resolution post-accident
- Adhesion breakdown: Avoiding permanent restrictions after recent trauma
Treatment frequency: Beginning stages need regular appointments, progressing to less frequent sessions as recovery advances.
3. Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation
Our doctors of chiropractic utilize hands-on manipulation, mechanical-assisted treatment, and instrument-assisted manipulation to restore:
- Segmental arrangement: Restoring proper vertebral position causing radicular symptoms
- Vertebral movement: Restoring segmental mobility in hypomobile spinal regions
- Biomechanical equilibrium: Addressing forward head posture and other postural distortions
- Spinal cushioning: Facilitating disc nutrition and decreasing pressure loads
Safety profile: All patients undergo orthopedic and neurological screening to ensure treatment safety.
4. Complementary Therapeutic Interventions
- Deep tissue ultrasound therapy: Deep tissue heating to improve elastic properties and accelerate tendon healing
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: Decreasing involuntary contraction and improving tissue perfusion
- Ice treatment regimens: Managing acute inflammation while limiting pharmaceutical reliance
- Elastic therapeutic tape application: Enhancing body awareness and protecting damaged structures during functional activities
- Thermotherapy: Increasing tissue extensibility before manual treatment
