Douglas Chiropractic - Miramar
Douglas Chiropractic is a chiropractic and rehabilitation practice on Miramar Parkway, one of two South Florida offices run by founder Dr. Michael Douglas since 1985. The Miramar staff provides a comprehensive array of chiropractic services, including hands on massage, laser techniques and adjustments, each of which can help relieve chronic pain without the need for surgery or medication. The practice believes the key to long term health lies in accurately diagnosing the problem first, so care starts with a thorough assessment and evaluation to find the root cause of your pain, supported by diagnostic tools such as functional capacity testing and nerve conduction studies. Treatment then draws on Cox and Leander decompression, the Activator Method, therapeutic massage, trigger point therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, exercise rehabilitation and high power laser therapy through Douglas Laser Centers, which is offered at every location. The team blends sports injury rehabilitation with traditional chiropractic care, and Dr. Michael Douglas has treated Olympians including Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell, Veronica Campbell and Shelly-Ann Fraser alongside professionals and everyday patients. The Miramar office treats all types of injuries, including slips and falls, motorcycle accidents, car accidents, truck accidents and work accidents, and also offers rehabilitation therapy for the stress and strain that comes from everyday living. Walk in patients are always welcome, though the practice recommends calling ahead to reduce wait time, and the office accepts all PIP insurance policies and bills them for you.
