Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal misalignments to improve nervous system function and promote natural healing. Using diversified hands-on techniques tailored to each patient's condition, we address issues like back pain, neck pain, and headaches. This drug-free approach helps restore mobility and reduce inflammation while supporting overall wellness for patients of all ages.
Laser Therapy
K-Laser therapy utilizes advanced Class IV laser technology to accelerate tissue healing and reduce pain. By delivering specific wavelengths of light energy, this non-invasive treatment increases circulation, decreases inflammation, and stimulates cellular repair. Effective for conditions like arthritis, sports injuries, and soft tissue damage, it offers a safe alternative to medication with no side effects or downtime required.
Auto Accident Care
Specialized care for auto accident injuries focuses on treating whiplash, back strains, and other trauma-related conditions. Our chiropractors use gentle adjustments combined with therapeutic modalities to restore mobility and alleviate pain from collisions. Timely intervention within Florida's 14-day insurance window ensures proper documentation and maximizes recovery outcomes for neck pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal injuries.
NovoTHOR Treatments
NovoTHOR whole-body red light therapy stimulates cellular energy production to enhance recovery and reduce inflammation. This FDA-approved photobiomodulation treatment improves circulation, relieves chronic pain, and supports tissue regeneration without heat or discomfort. Patients experience benefits for joint pain, muscle recovery, and skin rejuvenation through 10-15 minute sessions in our state-of-the-art light therapy bed.
Wellness Programs
Our wellness programs combine chiropractic maintenance with lifestyle education to optimize long-term health. Through periodic adjustments, nutritional guidance, and ergonomic advice, we help prevent injuries and maintain spinal health. Educational workshops cover topics like sleep hygiene, stress management, and exercise routines designed to complement chiropractic care for sustained wellness.

I have had neck and shoulder pain for 11 or more years from my work as a hair stylist. Holding a dryer for a long time and my arms up has taken a toll. I have been going to Deer Wood Lake Chiropractic office for a couple of weeks. The ladies in the office are awesome. They make you feel so welcome, like they have known you forever. Dr. Forte has a great way of explaining what is wrong, what he is doing, and how that will help with the problem.
He breaks it down so you can understand. I run on a crazy schedule and they are flexible with my timing and I usually don't have to wait long. I'm starting to feel better already. I really hope it continues! I would definitely recommend Deer Wood Lake Chiropractic.

I read a couple of good reviews before reviewing myself lol. I agree with many others that Dr. Fort and his team are some of the best around! It doesn't matter if it's 9 AM or 7 PM, the staff and Dr. Fort are always in a great mood, always greet you with a smile, and always make sure you receive the best service! When I first hurt my back, for the 5th time as bad as I did, I googled chiropractors near me.
It was between Deerwood Lake and one other. I just pointed and picked and I am so glad i did! Thankfully, they are less than 5 minutes from my house and when I tell you I could barely walk upright is an understatement! With that being said, I started going in the beginning of March and am proud to announce, Doc has me graduated to once a week for the next month because of the progress we made! Sorry for the long review, but I could keep going! Love them! Try them! You will not be disappointed!

We have gone to Dr. Fort for years, and I literally cannot say enough good things about him and his staff! Everyone is friendly and professional, they're extremely efficient with managing the time that you're in the office so you're in and out as quickly as possible (after the set up visit) and I feel so much better after adjustments. I never put much stock in chiropractic care prior to being a patient here, but Dr. Fort and his amazing staff have made me a believer in the benefits to keeping my spine healthy with regular chiropractic adjustments!
