Our Rehabilitation Process
Your program begins with an assessment of your symptoms, range of motion, strength, mobility, posture, and functional limitations. We also discuss what you need to accomplish at work, at home, or during athletic activities. Your treatment plan may progress through several stages:
- Reducing pain and irritation
- Restoring comfortable mobility
- Improving strength and stability
- Reintroducing functional activities
- Helping reduce the risk of reinjury
Rehabilitation plans are modified as you improve. Rehabilitation often works alongside our pain management and sports medicine services.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation FAQs
Is rehabilitation only for athletes?
No. Rehabilitation can benefit anyone who has difficulty moving or completing daily activities because of pain, weakness, stiffness, or injury.
How long does physical rehabilitation take?
Recovery timelines depend on the type and severity of the injury, how long symptoms have been present, and how consistently the treatment plan is followed.
Will I receive exercises to do at home?
Home exercises may be recommended to reinforce the progress made during appointments. Your provider will explain how to perform them correctly.
Is rehabilitation painful?
Some exercises may feel challenging, but treatment should not create severe or worsening pain. Communicate any discomfort so your program can be adjusted.
What is the difference between rehabilitation and chiropractic adjustments?
Adjustments focus on restoring joint motion, while rehabilitation focuses on rebuilding strength, stability, and function. Many patients benefit from combining both.
Can rehabilitation help after a car accident?
Yes. Rehabilitation can help restore mobility and strength after whiplash and other auto accident injuries once you have been evaluated.
