Chiropractic care is one of the most widely studied and used forms of non-surgical musculoskeletal care. At Vero Health Center, every patient receives a thorough examination before any care is recommended, and techniques are adapted to each patient’s condition and history.

Neurologically based chiropractic is an approach that begins with a neurological assessment of the nervous system before any manual care is applied. At Vero Health Center, we use four diagnostic technologies to evaluate how the nervous system is responding to structural stress before building a care plan.

That depends on the findings from your initial evaluation. After the report of findings, you will have a specific plan with a realistic timeline before committing to anything.

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that uses motorized traction to reduce pressure within compressed or herniated spinal discs. It is commonly used for disc injuries, sciatica, and chronic back or neck pain that has not resolved with other conservative care.

Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to support the body’s natural repair response in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. At Vero Health Center, it is delivered using SoftWave technology and may be used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinopathy, shoulder pain, and knee pain.

Regenerative medicine uses natural biologic substances to support the body’s repair processes in damaged or degenerative joints. It is a non-surgical option for patients with arthritis or joint degeneration who are seeking to avoid or delay surgery when appropriate.

Neuropathy treatment at Vero Health Center is a structured, drug-free clinical program for peripheral neuropathy, using advanced treatment technology to address the nerve dysfunction causing symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning, and weakness in the hands and feet.
