Services at Complete Care in Melbourne

We offer prompt medical evaluations to quickly assess injuries, allowing patients to get started on treatment the same weekday they walk in. Our providers perform thorough exams to develop a personalized care plan that addresses each patient’s specific needs.

Complete Care in Melbourne offers on-site digital X-ray imaging and MRIs to accurately identify or rule out injuries. Having the ability to provide MRIs in our own facility keeps your treatment moving forward and minimizes disruption in care.

Our doctors provide gentle, hands-on chiropractic treatments to relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote healing. This includes manual therapy, spinal adjustments, and therapeutic exercises tailored to your specific injury.

Our team designs targeted rehabilitation programs to restore strength, flexibility, and function. Whether recovering from surgery or injury, our therapy plans help patients regain independence and prevent future problems.

For musculoskeletal injuries, we offer orthopedic assessments and treatments, including joint and spine management. Our approach covers everything from minor strains to complex conditions, with a focus on improving quality of life.

When pain is getting in the way of recovery, our pain management team provides minimally invasive treatments such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and trigger point injections to reduce discomfort and support healing. These are out-patient treatments provided at our Melbourne clinic.

Recovering from an injury can affect emotional well-being. Our counselors offer support for anxiety, stress, PTSD, and other psychological challenges that may arise after an accident. Mental health services are delivered via telehealth for added convenience.

We provide virtual visits that allow patients to consult with providers from home for non-rehabilitative visits and other appointments at our discretion. Telemedicine helps you stay on track with your treatment plan without interrupting your schedule.

Navigating personal injury protection can be confusing. Our knowledgeable team helps manage paperwork and communication with your insurance carrier, making the process easier while ensuring you receive the care you need.

Auto accident injury care in Melbourne

Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage remains valid only if a provider examines you within 14 days following the accident. This insurance policy provides up to $10,000 for accident-related medical expenses, regardless of fault, though the 14-day timeline can be quite strict. Failing to meet the deadline can result in forfeiting the benefits you were due.

Walking into Complete Care in Melbourne offers the benefit of speed. Our team can see you the same day, ensuring you’re comfortably ahead of the deadline. We handle the claim filing and any questions from the carrier, so the paperwork is never your concern.

Why choose Complete Care in Melbourne?

You can find us at the corner of Elizabeth Street and West Hibiscus Boulevard, in the beige plaza. We’re behind St. Paul Lutheran Church, next to the Florida Safety Council. We are only minutes away from downtown Melbourne and the 32901 neighborhoods south of the river, and a short drive for patients throughout Melbourne and Eau Gallie. The McDonald’s on West Hibiscus is just east of our location.

Complete Care treats an injury as something to work through actively. Instead of easing symptoms until they fade, your provider maps out a path back to proper function and coaches you through the rehabilitation that gets you there. That only works with a team operating in sync, so every part of your care informs the plan:

  • Imaging findings
  • Hands-on treatment
  • Pain management
  • Behavioral health counseling

We also take auto insurance and reserve same-day appointments for new patients, a convenience many urgent care centers and primary physicians lack after an accident. From the outset, Spanish-speaking personnel will be on hand for patients who opt for or need their services.

You are welcome to enter without an appointment; we see new patients on a walk-in basis.

Yes, we handle claims directly with PIP carriers, managing the entire process ourselves. Florida’s no-fault insurance laws allow for up to $10,000 in medical coverage for accident victims, provided that you see a provider within 14 days of the incident.

Our location is Unit E in the plaza at 1515 Elizabeth Street, behind St. Paul Lutheran Church. The Florida Safety Council is our immediate neighbor.
