Vital Health Chiropractic
Vital Health Chiropractic is a chiropractic clinic on 7th Street in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, owned by Dr. Mark W. Ashley, a Doctor of Chiropractic who has practiced in the downtown West Palm Beach area for more than 20 years and has assisted thousands of patients and their families. The practice describes its approach as comprehensive, whole-person and cause-based, built on brain-based and postural corrective chiropractic rather than masking symptoms with medication. Dr. Ashley is certified in the COX Flexion Distraction technique and in Manipulation Under Anesthesia, and his primary spine correction method combines Chiropractic Biophysics with COX spine decompression. Care starts with a Complete Spine and Posture Assessment that covers a consultation, weight bearing X-rays taken in the office, a biostructural examination, full X-ray interpretation and recommendations for care, after which patients move onto an individualized treatment plan. The clinic also offers concierge visits at a home, office, hotel or yacht, and equine chiropractic for horses.
