Papa Chiropractic and Physical Therapy runs its Port St. Lucie office at 10377 S U.S. Highway 1, Suite 101, reachable on (772) 337-1300. The practice was founded by Dr. Michael Papa in 1988, and the site says that since founding it he and his dedicated staff have treated the local community with what it calls his unique gentle chiropractic techniques, aimed at enhancing patients' health and function without medication. Dr. Papa graduated from the National Chiropractic College in Chicago, Illinois, attended St. John's University in New York City and Wagner College, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Doctorate in Chiropractic. The site states that he is licensed with the Florida, New York, and Illinois Boards of Chiropractics, and that he holds memberships in the Florida Chiropractic Association and the Florida Chiropractic Society. The practice has three Florida offices, in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, and Port St. Lucie, and the homepage carries a badge reading voted Best Chiropractor by The Palm Beach Post. Describing the Port St. Lucie office, the practice says it believes everyone deserves to live a life free from pain and full of vitality, and that its team provides personalized care addressing each patient's unique needs, whether that is an auto accident injury, chronic pain, or simply a wish to improve overall health. It describes its approach as focused on evidence based treatments and holistic wellness. Services listed for the Port St. Lucie location include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, sciatica solutions, spinal adjustments and decompression, auto accident injury treatment, nutrition and lifestyle advice, hormone replacement therapy, corrective exercises, stretching, and sports injury treatment. The practice says chiropractic adjustments work to restore proper alignment in the spine, reducing nerve interference and improving overall function, and that care can benefit conditions such as sciatica, herniated discs, and posture related discomfort. Its physical therapy programs help patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility following injuries or surgeries, and it says its chiropractors treat conditions such as whiplash, sprains, and soft tissue injuries using targeted techniques and therapeutic exercises. Beyond back pain, the site says treatment extends to neck pain and other musculoskeletal discomfort, covering injuries sustained at work, at home, on the road, or on the court, as well as recurring pain from conditions including arthritis and degenerative disc disease. For injuries the stated goal is a recovery as close to full as possible, and for chronic conditions the focus is managing symptoms and slowing progression. Other offerings across the practice include gait scans and orthotics, sports rehabilitation, health and wellness workshops, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, premium health vitamins, spinal health and wellness care, and personal injury care. On billing, the practice says it participates in some insurance programs and accepts some health insurance plans including Medicare, along with auto accident, workers compensation, and personal injury cases that have resulted in back pain, neck pain, headaches, or related conditions. It says staff will verify your benefits and explain them at no charge before you start a care plan, and that flexible payment programs can be arranged for patients with little or no chiropractic insurance coverage. New patients can read through the practice's three phase framework of relief care, corrective care, and wellness care, complete online forms ahead of a visit, and book through the scheduling page or by calling the Port St. Lucie office directly.
