Chiropractic care at ChiroCare of Florida, in Ft Lauderdale, can help relieve pain. This type of health care encourages your body’s healing process through natural and holistic techniques. Injuries, illnesses, and even the way you sit for hours at work can negatively affect your health and well-being.

Chiropractor for Preventative Healthcare

Many patients don’t consider chiropractic medicine until they have an accident or develop a condition that demands attention. In fact, estimates of the number of U.S. adults who have received chiropractic care range between 7.5% and 8.6%. However, many professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts see chiropractors for regular adjustments. One of the great benefits of chiropractic medicine is that it prevents injuries.

If you’re one of the millions of people who are not seeing a chiropractor for periodic adjustments, it may be time to reconsider. Conveniently located near the intersection of Andrews Avenue and Broward Boulevard in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, ChiroCare of Florida makes it easy to stop in for an adjustment. Whether you have a chronic condition, a recent injury, or you are just trying to keep your body in optimal condition, ChiroCare of Florida can help. Call today to schedule an appointment. We accept all major health insurance plans.

A Proactive Approach to Health Maintenance

Chiropractic medicine is a cornerstone of any holistic approach to health and wellness. Like diet, exercise, and meditation, chiropractic medicine can help you deter illness, pain, and signs of aging. Here are some of the benefits that regular spinal adjustments offer:

Improved Mobility

Most human activities involve repetitive motions. Even the simple act of walking requires the legs to continuously move in more or less the same fashion. Over time, the affected muscles strengthen, which sometimes pulls the spine and joints out of alignment. This places pressure on the nerves that run along and between joints. To address these minute changes, we may slightly alter our motion or positions without realizing it, which exacerbates the problem.

You can think of chiropractic adjustments as a reset, which removes the pressure from the joints and nerves. The result is that the body is once again comfortable moving as it was intended.

Avoid Chronic Conditions

Most people ignore minor aches and pains, believing that they’re the natural result of exercise, hard work, and/or aging. They may take an over-the-counter pain reliever to avoid addressing the problem. If these patterns persist, they may develop into a chronic condition.

Chiropractic adjustments actually address the conditions that cause pain in the human body. Rather than masking the pain, chiropractic medicine mitigates the underlying condition, eliminating the pain at its source.

Chemical-Free

If you’re concerned about the amount of pills and injections that Western medicine utilizes to treat injuries and illnesses, you’ll be pleased to know that chiropractic medicine does not rely on drugs. That’s not to say that none of our patients take prescription medicine. Of course, many are prescribed medication for both related and unrelated conditions. However, chiropractic medicine does not require chemical agents to be effective.

Relaxation and Sleep

Chiropractic medicine reduces stress and promotes a sense of well-being. Patients often experience improved sleep and a feeling of relaxation during waking hours. Many find that they no longer have the urge to “stress eat,”  which potentially leads to stress loss.

Athletic Performance

If you’re an athlete or fitness enthusiast, chiropractic medicine can help you avoid repetitive stress injuries, improve recovery time, and help you stay on track with your training regimen. A strained lower back or misalignment can keep you off of training for days. By scheduling regular chiropractic adjustments and massages, you can reduce the amount of injury-related downtime.

Pain Management

Pain is a natural way for the body to tell you that you have an abnormal condition. If you have chronic pain or any pain caused by a specific motion, chiropractic medicine can help. Western medicine often treats pain with steroids, anti-inflammatories, and narcotics. Theoretically, if they can help to reduce swelling and keep you comfortable, your body will heal on its own. While the body does have miraculous recuperative powers, there are better ways to restore wellness. Chiropractic medicine addresses pain by removing pressure on the nerves that cause it.

These are just some of the amazing benefits that chiropractic patients experience.

Preventing Injuries and Chronic Conditions

As medical healers, our chiropractors would much rather prevent your injuries than just help you recover from existing wounds — although we are adept at both prevention and healing. These are some of the ways that our techniques and treatments can prevent injuries:

• Corrected posture and spinal alignment – With correct posture and an aligned spine, you can avoid many of the common joint-related injuries. If your spine is misaligned, it affects all of your movements. As you stand, walk, run, or sit, you’ll unconsciously shift your body, attempting to alleviate the pressure you’re feeling. The difference in your posture may not even register, but it will affect you. It may even cause you to misstep when walking or running, which could lead to much more severe injuries.
• Increased mobility – Most human beings do not push their range of motion. Eventually, their muscles tighten, reducing that range. When you are confronted with a situation that requires you to use your full range of motion, it’s much easier to strain a muscle, tendon, or ligament.
• Neural Health – Many of the body’s nerves run through the vertebrae and other joints. When these joints are misaligned, they can hinder the nervous system’s ability to send signals to the extremities. This can affect blood flow, sense of touch, and the overall health of your body. Chiropractic adjustments reduce pressure on nerves, which leads to a healthier biosystem.
• Reduced Muscle Tension – Tight muscles are injury-prone. Chiropractic adjustments, massage, and other techniques we employ can restore the suppleness of your muscles, making them more injury-resistant.

Most of our patients who are using chiropractic medicine for injury prevention schedule regular appointments to ensure they don’t miss. If you’re uncertain about how frequently you should come in for treatments, schedule an initial consultation. After an examination, our chiropractors can tailor a plan for you.

Rehabilitation and Recovery

Many patients only try chiropractic medicine after they’ve sustained an injury. Either their doctor has recommended that they incorporate chiropractic medicine into their treatment plan, or the patient is unsatisfied with the results of the Western medicine approach to their injuries. If you’ve sustained an injury due to an accident or repetitive motion, our chiropractors can help.

We have many drug-free treatment options that work well with specific conditions. It’s important to understand that chiropractic medicine is not a one-size-fits-all solution for all medical issues. You may need to continue with your medical treatment plan and physical therapy regimen while also undergoing chiropractic treatments.

Does ChiroCare of Florida Take My Insurance?

Most insurance companies cover chiropractic care, including Aetna, AARP, AVMed of Florida, Cigna, Florida Blue, Humana PPO, Medicare, Medicaid, Oscar Health Insurance, Priority Health, most United Healthcare plans, all car insurance plans (for accidents), and Workers’ comp.

Can I Get Chiropractic Treatments if I’m Injured?

Yes, chiropractic medicine can be effective on some existing injuries. However, all injuries are different, and our doctors may not recommend spinal adjustments for your specific condition.

How Much Does a Chiropractor Cost?

Our Fort Lauderdale chiropractors can offer affordable care. We work with many private insurance policies that provide patients coverage — many plans now include chiropractic care as part of their benefits. Before your first appointment, we’ll verify your benefits directly with your insurance company so we can inform you of your financial responsibility before you start treatment.

Additionally, Medicaid now covers visits to chiropractic clinics by way of reimbursements. Medicare Part B, Medicare Advantage, and Medicare Supplement plans also cover chiropractic care, though your out-of-pocket cost will vary by plan.

Some insurance plans require specific documentation regarding your care, injury, prognosis, and treatment plan to offer coverage. Our staff will work hand-in-hand with your provider to ensure they have all the necessary paperwork, enabling you to receive the maximum allowable services. We may order imaging, such as X-rays, MRIs, or past medical records indicating a need for chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and more.

If your insurance policy, Medicaid, or Medicare plan does not cover care at a chiropractic clinic, we’ll review your potential treatment plan and let you know your self-pay rates.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe?

Each of our Fort Lauderdale chiropractors holds advanced credentials, including undergraduate study and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. On staff, you’ll find chiropractors specializing in different practice areas, including prenatal chiropractic care, sports chiropractic, pediatric services, and more. Upon making an appointment, we’ll review your reasons for visiting and help determine which Doctor of Chiropractic is right for your unique situation to enable the best quality of care.

We’re here to assure you that chiropractic treatment is safe. Care is non-invasive, holistic, and well-researched to provide patients with excellent results. According to the Mayo Clinic and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (from the National Library of Medicine), adverse side effects or complications are extremely rare. Studies report that serious risks may be as low as 1 in 3.85 million.

If you have concerns regarding treatment from a chiropractor, Fort Lauderdale providers at our office are happy to discuss any questions you may have. We’re here to help put your mind at ease before your first appointment to ensure you’re comfortable and confident in the chiropractic adjustments we’ll perform.

How ChiroCare of Florida Can Help

Chiropractic treatment can supplement physical therapy for soft tissue issues. The exercises and stretches in physical therapy help rehabilitate injuries and other traumas. Therapy can increase flexibility and regain lost range of motion as well as build strength and retrain muscles. ChiroCare of Florida therapists will tailor movements to you while still using pain-relieving techniques.

Massage is another therapy that can aid you on the road to recovery. Pressing, rubbing, and handling muscle and skin is a natural reaction to injuries, pains, and other discomforts. Massage therapy moves soft tissue like skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue.

Modern technology and enhance traditional massage techniques. For example, the Graston Technique uses six core instruments that penetrate soft tissue deeper than hands alone. Likewise, Ultrasound Therapy allows the Ft Lauderdale chiropractor to vibrate high-frequencies of sound into muscles. This technique combats inflammation and other problems.

Rapid Release Therapy (RRT) can reduce and remove scar tissue and nerve-restriction blockages. The handheld device can increase your range of motion and decrease pain and tension. Electrical stimulation (E-STIM) uses electrode pads to contract muscles, which strengthens and repairs soft tissue.
