LC Chiropractic
LC Chiropractic, also known as Life Changing Chiropractic, is a corrective chiropractic office on Sheridan Street serving the Cooper City and Pembroke Pines community. It was established in 2020 by Dr. Maria Radcliffe Machado and her husband Dr. Julian Machado, who are both trained and certified in Chiropractic BioPhysics, a corrective care technique that combines biology, physiology, physics, geometry, and anatomy to identify the causes of pain, discomfort, and loss of mobility and restore the spine to alignment. The practice draws a clear line between traditional chiropractic, which it describes as a temporary fix, and corrective care, which aims to rehabilitate the spine, correct the posture, and remove the nerve interference behind the symptoms. New patients start with a consultation and a comprehensive chiropractic and neurological exam, followed by a digital postural analysis and digital x-rays, and then a report of findings where the doctors explain what they uncovered and what the recommended treatment looks like. Care is delivered in three phases: acute care to get you out of pain and reduce inflammation over roughly one to three weeks, corrective care using mirror image adjustments, traction, and home exercises over three to twelve months depending on the severity of the correction required, and stabilization care with weekly adjustments and continued exercises to preserve the new spinal structure. Patients commonly come in for back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, joint pain, poor posture, and scoliosis, and the practice reports that patients under corrective care often see other issues subside as their posture realigns, including fatigue, trouble sleeping, disc herniation, acid reflux, and asthma. The office can be reached at (754) 233-0260 and is open Monday through Thursday with a morning block and an afternoon block each day.

FAQs

What is Chiropractic BioPhysics?
Chiropractic BioPhysics, or CBP, is a corrective chiropractic technique that combines biology, physiology, physics, geometry, and anatomy to identify the causes of your pain, discomfort, loss of mobility, and altered health, then correct and restore the spine back to alignment. Both doctors here are trained and certified in it.
How is corrective care different from regular chiropractic?
Traditional chiropractic relieves nerve interference momentarily, but the practice explains that poor spinal structure or posture reintroduces it within hours, days, or weeks. Corrective care goes further by rehabilitating the spine and correcting the posture so the source of the problem is addressed.
What happens at my first visit?
The first step is a consultation and a comprehensive chiropractic and neurological exam covering your health history and problem areas, followed by a digital postural analysis and digital x-rays. The doctors then sit down with you for a report of findings and explain what the best treatment option looks like.
How long does treatment take?
Care runs in three phases. Acute care to get you out of pain and reduce inflammation takes about one to three weeks. Corrective care, which reshapes the spine using mirror image adjustments, traction, and home exercises, can take three to twelve months depending on how much correction is required. Stabilization care then preserves the result with weekly adjustments and continued at home exercises.
What conditions do you treat?
Patients commonly come in for back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, joint pain, poor posture, and scoliosis. The practice also reports that patients under corrective care see relief from issues such as fatigue, trouble sleeping, disc herniation, acid reflux, asthma, and tingling or numbness.
When is the office open?
The office is open Monday through Thursday, with a morning block from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and an afternoon block that runs to 7:00 PM on Monday and Wednesday and to 6:00 PM on Tuesday and Thursday. It is closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Do you take x-rays?
Yes. Digital x-rays are part of the corrective care program so the doctors can understand, measure, and assess how your spine has been shaped, pinpoint the root cause, and design a care program specific to you. Before and after biomechanical x-ray analysis is part of the process.
