CHIROPRACTIC CARE
|
Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the muscle skeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments, including spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation or joint adjustment has a proven effectiveness in treating fixated verterbrae or joints that are out of their normal position which can cause altered movement and muscle skeletal pain. |
| MEDICAL EVALUATION |
General medical evaluations are performed on site by Dr. Alexander Goldman by appointment. Dr. Goldman received his degree from the University of Miami and is in private practice in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. Dr. Goldman is on staff at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center.

| PHYSICAL REHABILITATION THERAPY |
Prescribed by most Physicians, physical therapy is a conservative form of treatment that focuses on pain relief, strengthening joints and muscles, flexibility, and promotes healing and helps restores function. We've recently introduced a new form of physical therapy to the office called Pilates. It helps increase the strength and muscle tone of the mid section or “core.” These stronger muscles in turn combat lower back pain, improve posture and increase joint mobility.

| MASSAGE THERAPY |
 |
Massage therapy is performed by our on staff licensed massage therapists to help relieve stiff and achy muscles. Benefits of massage also include increased circulation and increased levels of endorphins in the body. Massages are performed every 30 minutes and usually coincide with other therapies in our office. If time is an issue some patients utilize our Aquabed, which is 15 minutes of dry hydrotherapy with similar benefits to that of a standard massage. |

NUTRITION
|
 Nutrition is a large part of a persons health. Therefore Dr. Scuderi implemented nutritional consultations available as a part of his practice. Dr. Scuderi received his Bachelor's of Science from Florida State University in Nutrition and will personally customize a diet plan to help patients reach their nutritional goals. |
