Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care utilizes hands-on spinal manipulation and low-force techniques to improve alignment, alleviate pain, and enhance nervous system function. We tailor treatments to individual needs, combining traditional adjustments with modern methods like Cox flexion distraction. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and accelerated recovery without drugs or surgery.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates specific meridian points using ultra-thin needles to restore energy flow and address conditions like chronic pain, migraines, and anxiety. Our Florida-licensed practitioners employ both traditional and electro-stimulation techniques, offering a drug-free solution for musculoskeletal and systemic health issues.
Auto Accident Treatment
Specialized care for auto injury patients, including spinal decompression and soft tissue therapy to address whiplash, disc injuries, and ligament damage. We conduct thorough assessments and collaborate with medical specialists to ensure comprehensive recovery from low-speed or high-impact collisions.
Laser Therapy
FDA-cleared cold laser therapy reduces inflammation and promotes cellular repair for chronic pain conditions. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing for back pain, arthritis, and sports injuries by stimulating mitochondrial activity without medication or downtime.
Massage Therapy
Customized massage treatments including Swedish, deep tissue, and sports massage to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and support recovery from injuries. Our therapists integrate neuromuscular techniques to address specific pain points and enhance overall wellness.

Questions
Why do I experience pain without obvious cause?
Microtrauma from daily activities like sitting or driving can accumulate over time, leading to spinal misalignments and pain.
Will you take x-rays during my visit?
X-rays are only taken if medically necessary using digital equipment, with immediate review during your consultation.
Why do I need multiple chiropractic adjustments?
Correcting spinal issues requires repetition to retrain muscles and joints, ensuring lasting structural improvements rather than temporary symptom relief.
Should I use ice or heat for my injury?
Use ice for acute injuries (first 2-3 days) and heat for chronic stiffness, alternating if unsure for optimal results.
What does a chiropractic adjustment accomplish?
Adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and movement, preventing disc degeneration and nerve compression that cause pain.
Why continue care after symptoms improve?
Completing the treatment plan ensures lasting correction of spinal issues, similar to wearing orthodontic retainers after braces to maintain alignment.

I have been treated off and on by Dr. Lichter for years. He and his staff are so friendly and very efficient. I recently had ACDF with fusion but plan to be back in to see you all soon. Dr. Lichter is the only chiropractor for me.

I saw Dr. Lichter for the first time over 10 years ago. He treated me for several conditions and I enjoyed greatly improved health under his care. I moved away from the area for over 10 years and have retired in Central Florida. I am so happy to have retired where I can continue receiving the best healthcare services possible and going into an office with the most positive and caring staff. So glad to be back with Dr. Lichter!
He and his staff educates and provides a very caring environment as you establish a lifestyle of improved health and well-being. I highly recommend Dr. Lichter and I drive over 1 1/2 - 2 hours to feel comfortable in knowing he will provide me with the BEST healthcare possible.

Dr. Lichter is extremely knowledgeable and is sure to explain your situation every step of the way. My wife and I visited Dr. Lichter's office after we were rear-ended. He and his staff were extremely accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable from the moment we walked in to the lobby. It was very comforting to know exactly what the next step was going to be throughout our several visits. Aside from being very professional Dr. Lichter was genuinely interested in learning more about us as patients and as people, which lead to he and I having a few discussions on hockey as we are both big hockey fans. I really can't recommend him enough!

I was a bit skeptical to try chiropractic care but had been in chronic pain in my lower back and a major back surgery had been recommended. At that point I decided to be open minded and give it a try since I felt I had nothing to lose. I feel so blessed to have found this practice. Not only have Dr Lichter and Assoc helped me avoid surgery and take control of my chronic back pain, they have given me the tools to help myself through exercises and education.
I also did not expect the decrease in my chronic migraines and trigeminal neuralgia pain and I didn't realize how much cervical misalignment was playing a role in these conditions. The Dr.'s and staff are like a caring family who make you feel like more than just another patient and always ask how you are doing and greet you with a smile.
