Chiropractic Care in Pompano Beach, FL

At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, chiropractic care is a personalized, non-invasive approach focused on restoring healthy spinal motion and nervous system function.

When spinal joints lose normal movement, stress can build in surrounding nerves, discs, and tissues. Over time, this may contribute to pain, stiffness, balance issues, or joint degeneration.

Dr. Michael Cohen, DC approaches chiropractic care by identifying where motion and nerve communication are compromised and correcting those areas with precise, gentle adjustments.

Care may also include muscle support and movement guidance to help the body function more efficiently. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, understand their findings, and feel confident in their care plan. Call (561) 264-7010 to schedule your complimentary consultation.

How Chiropractic Care Works: A New Patient Guide

Chiropractic focuses on how the spine and joints protect and influence the nervous system. The nervous system controls how the body moves, heals, and adapts to stress. When spinal joints are not moving properly, they can interfere with that communication, much like a kink in a hose reduces water flow.

Dr. Cohen often explains chiropractic as removing interference so the body can work the way it was designed to. An adjustment is a specific correction to a joint that has lost normal motion. It is not about force or “cracking,” but about precision. Many adjustments are so gentle that patients are surprised by how little pressure is used.

Rather than chasing symptoms alone, chiropractic care looks at why a problem is happening. By restoring proper motion and alignment, the body can better regulate pain, coordination, balance, and recovery. The goal is improved function, not just temporary relief.

Is chiropractic safe?

Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when provided by a licensed, trained chiropractor and when care is tailored to the individual. At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, every patient is evaluated before care begins to determine what techniques are appropriate. There is more than one way to adjust the spine, and techniques vary in style and force. Care may include:

Manual adjustments using the hands to restore joint motion
Instrument-assisted adjustments using low-force tools
Targeted approaches focusing on specific spinal regions rather than full-spine adjustments

Techniques are selected based on age, exam findings, comfort level, and health goals.

Chiropractic care is adapted for different stages of life:

Older adults receive gentle care focused on mobility and balance
Adults and teens often seek care for posture, work stress, or activity-related strain
Children and infants receive very light, age-appropriate adjustments
Pregnant patients are adjusted with safe positioning and gentle techniques
Post-surgical patients receive supportive care around unaffected areas

Each person’s care is individualized. Nothing is done by default.

What is the general chiropractic treatment plan?

Care at Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic follows a clear, step-by-step process.

Initial visit: The first visit includes a detailed history and physical evaluation. Dr. Cohen reviews posture, spinal motion, and areas of restriction. Neurological scans and imaging such as CBCT may be used when appropriate to better understand alignment and nerve involvement.

Plan of care: Based on findings, a personalized care plan is created. This often includes:

Specific chiropractic adjustments to restore motion
Support for surrounding muscles and joints
Guidance on posture, movement, or daily activities when relevant

Progress over time: Some patients notice changes early, while others improve gradually. Ongoing care is designed to improve spinal function, reduce stress on the nervous system, and support long-term stability. Re-evaluations help track progress and guide next steps.

Care is explained clearly so patients understand what is being addressed and why.

Which equipment do you use for treatment?

Equipment is chosen to support precision, comfort, and safety. Care may involve:

Chiropractic adjusting tables designed for proper positioning
Hands-on manual adjustments
Handheld instruments for gentle, low-force corrections
Specialized positioning for pediatric or pregnancy care when needed

Patients are always informed about what is being used and how it supports their care.
