Chiropractic Services
- Chiropractic Care:
- Adjusting techniques reduce spinal and extremity joint fixations, establish normal movement patterns, promote proper biomechanics, and reduce pain. We offer light and medium force techniques such as: Diversified, Thompson Drop, Gonstead, Motion Palpation, Chiropractic Biophysics, Arthrostim Instrument, Cranio-Sacral therapy, Webster technique, and Myofascial Unwinding.
- Auto Injury Rehabilitation:
- Auto Crashes are responsible for numerous injuries, acute and chronic. Our doctors are auto injury specialists with multiple post-doctoral certifications. Specific programs are designed on an individual basis, geared toward the repair of injured ligaments, discs, joint capsules, and myofascial structures. Emphasis is placed on tissue healing, regaining lost function and pain reduction.
- Sports Injury & Physical Rehabilitation:
- Physical therapy techniques are employed to recover lost function, improve muscle activation, heal injured tissues, correct dysfunctional movement patterns, and promote core stability. Whether you require post-surgical rehab, injury rehab, or functional rehab due to deconditioning, we can provide it.
- Structural Rehabilitation:
- This is a specialized form of rehab. The structure of the spine is addressed in which the goal of treatment is to reduce abnormal loading of the spine from a gravitational perspective. Mechanical engineering and mathematical principles are utilized and applied to the spine to approximate a more appropriate configuration toward the normal and ideal values.
- Women's Health:
- Dr. Sarah Leatherman directs the women's health department. Women are often more comfortable with a female physician, may have special needs, or sensitive issues to discuss. We offer saliva testing through Diagnos-Techs, Inc. for in-depth analysis of estrogen dominance, hormonal balance and general endocrine function.
- Pregnancy Care:
- Neck and back care during pregnancy is safe, gentle and reduces pain. Special tables are utilized to allow room for a developing baby and increased comfort for the mother. Women with a breech or occiput posterior presentation can also be helped with Webster technique. Treatment helps to balance the pelvic basin and align ligamentous structures for an easier birthing process.
- Pediatric Adjusting:
- During the process of birth the cranial bones shift upon one another to allow passage through the birth canal. Vacuum extraction, forceps delivery, or maneuvering during a C-section can traumatically torsion delicate cranial and cervical structures. A growing spine has not completely ossified (become fused as bone) and is susceptible to cartilaginous compromise. Kids are notorious for slips and falls, as well as outright trauma. Gentle adjustive forces and cranio-sacral work is used to address these issues. Neonates and Children respond very fast to chiropractic, and generally require less care.
- Medical and Therapeutic Massage:
- We have 2 licensed massage therapists on staff who offer a broad range of massage techniques. Massage is utilized to promote tissue healing, aid in pain management, speed injury recovery, reduce adhesion, stimulate lymphatic drainage, increase circulation, reduce muscle soreness and create relaxation. 15, 30, 60, and 75 minute sessions can be scheduled.
- Nutrition:
- Whole and organic foods are always the best way to provide your body what it needs to function properly, but many times nutritional supplementation is needed. In times of physiological stress, toxicity and injury, supplements are helpful for biochemical repair and function. We only use whole food and pharmaceutical grade products from trusted names such as Anabolic Labs, Standard Process, Medi-Herb, Nutra-west and Endo-Met Labs.
- Dietary Counseling:
- Education on proper and natural methods to lose weight, reduce cholesterol, reduce body inflammation, how to structure meal times and appropriate dietary intake. Lifestyle change is the key to long term health and body function, not crash diets.

- Pre-participation physicals are provided for individuals or groups. We follow the State of Florida required examination form and process, and costs are minimal. Groups need be scheduled but individuals can walk in.
