Family Chiropractic Center is a chiropractic clinic at 10167 NW 31st Street, Suite 100 in Coral Springs, Florida. It was founded by Dr. Andrew Charni, D.C. and Dr. Sandra A. Fico, D.C., who are both graduates of New York Chiropractic College. The site says they graduated, married and moved to South Florida in 1986, and that they have been in private practice together since that year. Over the years the practice describes its services as having expanded from purely biomechanical chiropractic care and physiotherapy to also include the holistic practices of Total Body Modification, Neuro Somatic Programming, Graston Technique and Neuro Emotional Technique. The office presents itself as providing holistic, natural healthcare for everyone from newborns to senior citizens, and says its techniques and procedures are tailored to the individual. Dr. Charni was a member of Phi Chi Omega, the chiropractic national honor society, served as vice president of the Student International Chiropractors Association, was named an active member of the New York Academy of Sciences in 1985, was selected for Who's Who in Executives and Professionals in 1994, joined Total Body Modification's teaching staff as an instructor in 1996, and was certified in Manipulation Under Anesthesia by the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic. Dr. Fico served as class president and president of the Student International Chiropractors Association at New York Chiropractic College, worked as a Director's Assistant in the college's Greenvale Outpatient Facility, and was honored with the college's Distinguished Service Award. She holds undergraduate degrees in science, exercise physiology and education, is a postgraduate faculty member of Texas Chiropractic College, and her post doctorate studies include orthopedics, biomechanics, homeopathy, women's health, nutrition, functional medicine and bio energetic medicine. She is a certified instructor for Total Body Modification and Neuro Somatic Programming and has lectured throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia and Europe. The focused services listed on the site are chiropractic adjustments, total body modification, neuro emotional technique, colonic irrigation, nutritional counseling, physiotherapy and acupuncture, and the practice also has dedicated pages for auto injury treatment, Graston Technique and sports injury care. Conditions the office lists include back pain, neck pain, headaches, auto injuries, allergy elimination, sports injuries, hormonal and metabolic imbalances, work injuries and immune enhancement. A first visit runs through brief paperwork, a consultation with the doctor, a history and examination with specialized tests, x ray studies if the condition requires them, treatment during that same visit, home instructions covering ice or heat, activity changes and home exercises, and then a follow up appointment, which the site says is generally within 1 to 2 days and includes a complete review of findings. Under Why Us the office lists a No Wait Policy under which all patients are seen immediately, friendly and courteous staff, a professional but comfortable atmosphere, large private treatment rooms, a convenient location, secondary evaluations and opinions, and M.D. and attorney referrals. On billing, the site says most insurance is accepted, that the office does all the paperwork and will file all claims for you, and that for individuals without insurance the practice has highly affordable rates and flexible payment plans. New patients are offered a free consultation described as a $70 value, which the site says includes a phone call with Dr. Charni, a discussion of health needs and goals, and scheduling of the first appointment.
