The adjustment is chosen, not assumed.

Technique means the specific way a patient receives an adjustment. The doctors use a mix of their hands, mechanical tables and adjusting instruments, and pick from these eight depending on what the case calls for.

Hurt in a car accident?

In the state of Florida you have only 14 days to see a doctor to activate your insurance. Miss it and you may have no injury coverage at all, and the medical costs come out of your pocket.

Signs of whiplash to the spine

  • Shoulder pain
  • Reduced range of motion in the neck

What we do about it

Our office will evaluate you for these injuries and provide the care you need for full recovery. For more severe cases we refer to orthopedists and neurologists, and we will connect you with an attorney.

Many people leave hospital after an accident with X-rays, a CT scan and a prescription for pain killers or muscle relaxers. That can reduce pain for a while. It does not correct the injury.

Whiplash left untreated can turn into long-term pain, and the serious effects are not always felt straight away. They can take days, weeks or months to show up.

Massage therapy, by appointment.

Two licensed massage therapists on staff, working seven modalities, alongside the adjusting room rather than instead of it.

What patients say.

I was in a tremendous amount of pain radiating from my neck down through my left arm. I was taking anti-inflammatory, pain medication and massage therapy. After an evaluation by Dr. Strater, he found a couple of twisted vertebra in my neck. Within the first week of treatment I noticed a relief from the pain and after a month of treatment I feel healthy again.

I have been going to chiropractors since I was a child and the Strater's continue to adjust me once a month. Chiropractic is the secret to my good health.
