Palm Chiropractic Center
Palm Chiropractic Center is a chiropractic practice at 611 NW 99th Ave in Pembroke Pines, founded in 1994 by husband-and-wife team Dr. Thomas Woolhiser and Dr. Lisa Papa. The practice has served the South Florida community for over 25 years with a team of doctors and chiropractic assistants who work to create a welcoming, patient-focused environment. Care combines chiropractic adjustment with physical therapy, soft tissue mobilization, traction therapy, ultrasound therapy and electrical muscle stimulation, and the office also provides sports physicals for student athletes. X-ray imaging is handled on site, so the doctors can evaluate a condition during the first visit and build a personalized treatment plan without the delay of outsourcing. The practice specializes in car accident injuries, workers' compensation cases and sports-related injuries, and it treats back and neck pain, whiplash, repetitive strain injuries, joint issues and muscle strains. Dr. Woolhiser and Dr. Papa both earned Doctor of Chiropractic degrees in 1992, from Life Chiropractic College and Life University respectively, and Dr. Christopher Henderson earned his from Life Chiropractic College in 2009 and also teaches anatomy and physiology at Chamberlain College and Broward College. Patients recovering from a Florida auto accident are urged to be evaluated within the 14-day window state law requires for insurance coverage, and the office provides detailed documentation to support workers' compensation claims. A variety of insurances are accepted, including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, United Health Care, Medicare, PHCS, National Elevator insurance, all auto insurances and workers' compensation insurance, and patients have the option to pay out of pocket if they choose. The office is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 am and Tuesday from 9:00 am, closes for lunch between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm, and is closed Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
