Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy program utilizes evidence-based techniques to restore mobility and reduce pain following auto accidents. Certified therapists develop personalized treatment plans that incorporate manual therapy, exercise programs, and advanced equipment. This specialized care helps patients recover range of motion and regain functional abilities for daily activities.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy relieves pressure on injured discs using motorized traction devices. This treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain resulting from vehicle collisions. Our decompression tables precisely target affected spinal segments for optimal healing.
Med-X Machines
Med-X equipment provides controlled strength assessments and rehabilitation tailored to auto accident injuries. These precision devices safely rebuild spinal stability and muscle strength through targeted resistance programs. The technology enables accurate progress tracking throughout recovery.
Deep Tissue Laser
High-intensity laser therapy penetrates deep tissue layers to accelerate cellular healing and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses soft tissue injuries, muscle strains, and joint pain from vehicle accidents without medication side effects. Sessions promote faster recovery times through enhanced circulation.

The therapist don't take you serious , there's definitely better places to go to in Tampa that are more professional. Not all therapist were bad but the majority were, and the main doctor doesn't seem to care to much either.

Dr.Shepard and his staff are awesome! I can't say enough good things about this office. The Dr., physical therapists, front office and the billing department were all incredibly attentive and understanding. Thank you for putting up with me while dealing with a confusing and frustrating insurance claim and more importantly thank you for helping me get back on my feet after my accident.

The physical therapists are knowledgeable and take the necessary time to help you work through your pain and getting better. The receptionists are so attentive that they learn the patients names and don't even have to ask your name when signing in. I was so impressed with this! After my first visit they would

I was sent here after a car accident and I blindly followed the advisement since, well, you panic and only have 14 days after accident to "get checked out". Here is what you will go through: you will spend 30+ minutes filling out 20 pages of paperwork. Next you will be seen by a nurse practitioner (I'm not sure if any doctors work there) and he or she will press on you and bend you to see where you might be hurt. They will also very quickly and robotically show you a two minute stretch routine you should do at home for your post accident pains. (Not sure how anyone would remember
