Sykes Chiropractic Life Center
Sykes Chiropractic Life Center is a chiropractic office on S US Highway 1 in Port St. Lucie that has served the Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce areas since 1985. The stated goal of the practice is to make patients pain free and then show them how to stay that way. Many first time patients arrive with acute back pain or neck pain caused by an accident or by overly strenuous activity, and the office notes that the Activator Method is particularly useful in these cases because gentle chiropractic care can usually provide quick results without further aggravating an already painful condition. Alongside spinal adjustments the office offers cold laser therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound and therapeutic exercise, and it treats conditions ranging from degenerative disc disease and headaches to carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and allergy and sinus pain. Auto injury, personal injury, sports injury and whiplash cases are all part of the practice, and the office also sees workers comp and auto accident cases. Care is provided by owner Dr. Christopher Roberts, who earned his Doctor of Chiropractic at Life University in 2014 and holds an Advanced Proficiency Rating for Activator Methods. The office accepts most major health insurance plans as well as Medicare and Medicaid, and appointments can be requested online or by phone.
