Dr. John S Virga, Chiropractor is the Chiropractic Center in Hialeah, located on W 16th Avenue in Suite 134-U. The practice was founded by Dr. John Virga, a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic who has been practicing chiropractic in Hialeah and Hollywood for over 30 years and has treated thousands of men, women and children. Dr. Virga shares his passion for chiropractic care with a love for wellness and working with entire families, and he set out to make the office an excellent community resource for wellness issues and family health. Much of the caseload involves injury cases, and the office is dedicated to helping people across Miami-Dade and Broward who have suffered injuries from auto accidents, work related accidents and sports, as well as headaches, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ pain and arm pain, along with whiplash, knee injuries and motorcycle and boating accident injuries. Spinal alignment is treated as the key to nervous system integrity and the foundation of health, so adjustments sit at the center of care. Manipulation ranges from non force techniques through to high velocity work, delivered by hand or with an adjusting device, with the approach chosen around your condition, age, complications and what has worked for you before. Adjustments are supported by a full therapy menu that includes massage therapy, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, ultrasound, electric muscle stimulation, microcurrent therapy, cryotherapy, superficial heat, paraffin wax baths and custom corrective exercises patients can perform at home. The office accepts a long list of insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and PIP coverage, and appointments can be made online or over the phone. A second office, the Chiropractic Center in Hollywood, serves patients in Broward County.

Services
Chiropractic adjustment
Spinal manipulation that restores or normalizes spinal joint function, induces relaxation and allows the body to perform at its optimum capacity. The office uses many forms of manipulation from non force to high velocity, by hand or with the assistance of an adjusting device, chosen according to your condition, age, complications and what has worked for you in the past.
Auto accident injury care
Treatment for patients injured in automobile accidents along with work related injuries, sports related injuries, headaches, neck pain, back pain, whiplash, TMJ injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, and motorcycle and boating accident injuries.
Massage therapy
Hands on, mechanical or electrical techniques that stimulate or soothe the soft tissues of the body for therapeutic purposes. Massage can increase blood and lymph circulation, break up scar tissue between muscle fibers, and help overcome swelling and pooling of fluids at the site of a recent injury.
Deep tissue massage
Massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia. It uses many of the same movements as Swedish massage with generally more intense pressure, and is more focused as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension and adhesions.
Trigger point therapy
Bodywork technique that applies pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. Also called myofascial trigger point therapy, it is sometimes performed together with massage.
