At Optimus Injury Treatment Center, every patient who walks through our door has been hurt in an accident, injured on the job, or affected by a traumatic event. That is the entirety of what we do. No maintenance care. No general wellness. No commercial patients. Our practice exists at the intersection of serious injury and the advocacy that follows it — and we have built every clinical system around that single purpose.
We are a personal injury chiropractic and functional rehabilitation practice serving patients across Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania, with our primary clinic in Dover, DE and satellite locations extending our reach statewide.
Advanced Therapies That Go Further Than Standard Injury Care
When the injury is serious (and the case demands documentation that holds up) we bring capabilities most injury practices in Delaware don't have.
At Optimus Injury Treatment Center, our advanced therapies are built for two purposes: accelerating genuine clinical recovery and generating the objective, measurable evidence that personal injury cases require. Adaptive contrast oxygen therapy for TBI and EMG/NCV electrodiagnostic testing aren't add-ons. They are core tools in a practice built exclusively around personal injury and workers' compensation.
Two Advanced Capabilities, One Provider
Chiropractic Adjustments
Functional Rehabilitation
Cervical Spine Decompression
Workers' compensation cases require the same level of documentation rigor as auto accident claims. We treat and document work-related injuries with the same litigation-ready standards.
Work Injury Rehabilitation
Adaptive Contrast Oxygen Therapy (ACOT)
ACOT is a non-invasive neurological therapy that alternates oxygen concentrations to stimulate mitochondrial repair, reduce neuroinflammation, and support brain recovery following traumatic injury. For patients with TBI, post-concussion syndrome, or cognitive symptoms after a car accident, it represents a meaningful clinical step beyond what standard chiropractic or physical therapy can offer.
Dr. Anthony Doran, Psy.D. (a nationally recognized neuropsychologist in the 99th percentile of his field) oversees neurological care at Optimus, including the integration of ACOT into individualized TBI recovery protocols. This is not a stand-alone session. It is coordinated with full neuropsychological evaluation and functional rehabilitation so that every element of the patient's recovery is documented and connected.
EMG & NCV Electrodiagnostic Testing
Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing measure electrical activity in muscles and nerves to identify damage that imaging alone may not capture. After a car accident, these tests can objectively document nerve injury, radiculopathy, and soft tissue damage; findings that carry significant weight in personal injury litigation.
At Optimus, electrodiagnostic testing is performed and interpreted in-house. Results are integrated directly into your clinical record and formatted for use in legal proceedings. Attorneys working with our practice receive reports structured specifically for settlement negotiation and courtroom use; not generic clinical summaries.
Why Advanced Diagnostics Matter in a Personal Injury Case
Subjective pain reports are a starting point. Objective clinical findings are what move cases forward. EMG and NCV testing produce quantifiable nerve conduction data. ACOT treatment produces trackable neurological outcomes. Both generate the kind of documentation that closes the gap between what a patient experienced and what the record can prove.
Because Optimus operates exclusively in personal injury and workers' compensation (no general wellness, no commercial patients) every clinical decision is made with both recovery and documentation in mind. These are not two separate goals. In a well-run injury practice, they are the same goal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Advanced Injury Therapies
What is adaptive contrast oxygen therapy for brain injury?
Adaptive contrast oxygen therapy (ACOT) is a non-invasive treatment that cycles oxygen concentrations to stimulate cellular repair and reduce neuroinflammation in the brain. It is used at Optimus as part of a coordinated TBI recovery protocol, alongside neuropsychological evaluation and functional neurological rehabilitation, for patients with documented or suspected traumatic brain injury following an accident.
How does EMG and NCV testing help a car accident case?
EMG and NCV testing produce objective, measurable data on nerve and muscle function that imaging studies may not capture. In a personal injury case, this documentation can establish the presence and severity of nerve damage, radiculopathy, or soft tissue injury with clinical precision supporting both the medical record and the legal argument.
Do I need a referral to access advanced therapies at Optimus?
No referral is required. Patients can contact us directly after an auto accident or work injury. Attorneys and case managers can refer clients directly and will receive structured clinical reports formatted for litigation use.
Is ACOT available at all Optimus locations?
ACOT and neuropsychological services are coordinated through our primary clinic at 834 S. State Street in Dover, DE. Telehealth options are available for neuropsychological evaluation through Dr. Doran. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific location.
What types of injuries are advanced therapies used for at Optimus?
Advanced therapies at Optimus are used primarily for traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome, nerve injury, and complex soft tissue damage resulting from auto accidents or work injuries. They are integrated into a broader treatment plan, not offered as isolated sessions, so clinical outcomes and documentation are connected throughout the case.
