Conditions We Treat

Arthritis

Arthritis is a condition characterized by pain, inflammation and stiffness in the joints, often leading to reduced mobility and discomfort. It can affect any joint in the body and is commonly associated with wear and tear, autoimmune disorders, or other underlying factors.

Arthritis

Auto Injuries

Auto injuries refer to physical damage resulting from car accidents, often affecting the neck, back, and joints. Common injuries include whiplash, herniated discs, soft tissue damage, and muscle strain, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. These injuries may not always be immediately apparent and can develop over time.

Auto Injuries

Headaches & Migraines

Headaches and migraines are conditions characterized by varying degrees of pain in the head, often accompanied by sensitivity to light, nausea, and visual disturbances in the case of migraines. They can be triggered by stress, tension, misalignment in the spine, or other underlying health issues. They range from mild to severe and may significantly impact daily functioning.

Headaches & Migraines

Sprains & Strains

Sprains and strains are common injuries involving the overstretching or tearing of ligaments and muscles, respectively. Sprains affect the ligaments that connect bones, while strains impact muscles or tendons. These injuries often result in pain, swelling, and limited movement, typically occurring in areas like the ankles, wrists, or back due to sudden twists, falls, or overuse.

Sprains & Strains

Rib Pain

Rib pain refers to discomfort or pain in the ribcage area, which can be caused by muscle strain, joint inflammation, or injury to the ribs. This pain may range from mild to severe and can worsen with movement, deep breathing, or coughing. Rib pain can result from trauma, poor posture, or overuse of the muscles surrounding the ribs.

Rib Pain

Bruising

Bruising occurs when small blood vessels under the skin break, causing blood to pool and discolor the skin. It typically results from trauma, such as a bump or fall, and presents as a darkened area that changes color as it heals. Bruising may be accompanied by tenderness or swelling.

Bruising

General Wellness

General wellness refers to the overall state of health and well-being, encompassing physical, mental, and emotional balance. It involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management. Achieving general wellness promotes longevity, prevents illness, and supports optimal functioning in daily life.

General Wellness

TMJ Disorders

TMJ disorders refer to conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jaw to the skull. These disorders can cause jaw pain, difficulty chewing, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, and headaches. TMJ issues may result from misalignment, stress, or injury, and they can lead to discomfort and restricted jaw movement.

TMJ Disorders

Back Pain

Back pain is discomfort or pain felt in the upper, middle, or lower back. It can result from muscle strain, spinal misalignment, poor posture, or underlying conditions such as herniated discs. The pain may range from a dull ache to sharp, intense discomfort, often affecting mobility and daily activities.

Back Pain

Joint Pain

Joint pain refers to discomfort, soreness, or inflammation in one or more joints, often caused by injury, overuse, arthritis, or other underlying conditions. It can affect mobility and range of motion, leading to stiffness and discomfort, and may vary in intensity from mild to severe. Joint pain can occur in any part of the body but is most common in the knees, shoulders, and hips.

Joint Pain

Pregnancy

During pregnancy, women may experience symptoms such as back pain, pelvic discomfort, sciatica, and joint pain due to hormonal changes and physical adjustments to accommodate the growing baby. Chiropractic care can help alleviate these discomforts by focusing on spinal alignment, improving posture, and enhancing overall body mechanics, promoting a healthier experience.

Pregnancy

Nutrition

Nutrition involves the intake of essential nutrients required for the body to function optimally. A balanced diet includes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, all of which play crucial roles in maintaining health, supporting immune function, and promoting energy levels. Proper nutrition can aid in weight management, enhance overall wellness, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect on the first visit?

We ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment time for paperwork, unless you are able to complete the forms online.

Intake, Examination, and Treatment: Please allow up to one hour for this visit so that we may have a thorough understanding of your concerns, discuss your medical history, and conduct a physical examination to further evaluate your condition(s).

When you arrive, you'll start by completing any necessary paperwork, followed by a brief tour of our facility. Next, you'll meet with the doctor for an evaluation and any required testing to assess your level of function, the condition of your spine and joints, your desired goals, and the root cause of your health concerns. If you have any imaging reports (X-rays, MRIs, CAT scans), please bring those on the first visit so that we may review those findings with you. Thereafter, we will discuss formulated treatment recommendations specifically for you and initiate treatment so you may begin to feel relief already on that first visit!

Do you accept insurance?

We do not currently accept insurance as we prefer the flexibility to treat patients as needed without the limitations imposed by insurance companies. However, we provide Superbills for treatments rendered, which you can submit to your health insurance company for possible reimbursement.

It's important to note that most insurance plans in Florida offer minimal coverage for chiropractic services, making it an out-of-pocket expense even for insured patients.

When will I know the total cost?

You will know the exact costs before any treatments. While we cannot determine your actual cost until after an initial visit, we have full transparency regarding any treatments we recommend and are upfront about costs. We also offer packages and memberships to help reduce costs.

Will I have to sign a contract?

No contracts are necessary; however, for your convenience, we do offer membership plans that allow you to have discounted pricing for services as well as packages that will be available in the future.

How much are chiropractic adjustments?


Prices vary depending on the type of treatment you receive. Memberships and packages grant our patients discounted prices on care.

The initial visit will include a detailed examination and first treatment for $65. For follow up spinal adjustments (without membership), pricing is $55.

For additional modalities, pricing may vary between $70-$100 (without membership).

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept all major credit/debit cards, cash, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flex Spending Account (FSA), and Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).

John

After years of dealing with persistent back pain and discomfort, I finally decided to seek professional help and came across NovaSpine Chiropractic. From my very first visit, I knew I had made the right choice. The team at NovaSpine Chiropractic welcomed me with warmth and an understanding that immediately put me at ease.

Dr. Kerio conducted a thorough assessment and explained the root cause of my issues in a way that was easy to understand. The personalized treatment plan was not just focused on alleviating my current pain but also on preventing future problems. It was clear that they cared deeply about my overall well-being

Martin

With each session, I felt significant improvements. My knee pain, which had been a constant source of discomfort and limitation, began to fade, allowing me to enjoy activities I had avoided for years. The team also provided me with valuable advice on maintaining my spinal health through exercises and lifestyle changes.

Kari

I have been receiving chiropractic care since I was 19 years old. Dr. Kiss was very caring, and attentively listened to my concerns and evaluated me to make sure his recommended treatment was the best option. The membership plan is amazing and affordable. I am looking forward to feeling better soon.

Robin

Before discovering NovaSpine Chiropractic, I had been struggling with debilitating shoulder pain for months. It affected every aspect of my life, from work to my hobbies, and I had almost given up hope of finding a solution that didn’t involve invasive procedures.

The difference was noticeable after just a few treatments. My shoulder pain began to diminish, and my range of motion started to return. Each session brought more relief, and the exercises they recommended for me to do at home helped accelerate my recovery.
