Credentials & Education

- Biology Degree — Florida Atlantic University (completed to meet chiropractic program prerequisites)
- Ongoing training across multiple chiropractic technique systems (upper cervical, pediatric-focused, and tonal approaches)
Experience & Expertise
After graduating in 2018, Dr. Cohen spent nearly three years training under a mentor to deepen his clinical precision in gentle, neurologically focused care. He later brought that approach back to South Florida and opened his clinic in May 2021, where he continues serving the community in the same location. His practice is family-centered and includes prenatal and pediatric care, along with support for more complex neurological symptom patterns—such as dizziness/vertigo, headaches/migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, and severe radiculopathy—using objective assessments to reduce guesswork. He also emphasizes wellness-style checkups for patients who want consistent support over time.
Philosophy & Approach
Dr. Cohen’s care philosophy is rooted in a simple belief: the body is designed to heal when the nervous system is functioning without interference. In his approach, chiropractic focuses on locating and correcting areas of nervous system disruption so the body can communicate and recover more effectively. He prioritizes gentle, precise corrections—especially for patients who may feel nervous about chiropractic, as well as children and pregnant patients. He also emphasizes education: patients are walked through what was found, what it may mean, and how care is personalized based on how the body responds. His goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where patients feel supported, informed, and respected.
Personal Story
Dr. Cohen was born and raised in South Florida and grew up in a family of chiropractors, so natural, nervous-system-focused care was part of his world early on.
However, his “why” became personal: at eight years old he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, followed by years of migraines, frequent illness, and other neurological challenges.
At 18, he began care with a chiropractor who explained the brainstem and upper cervical spine connection and how nervous system function influences overall health. That experience helped shape his purpose and ultimately led him into chiropractic.
Treatment Techniques
- Tonal Integrative Corrective (TIC) Technique: Dr. Cohen’s primary approach, designed to be gentle and specific, with a strong upper cervical focus.
- Upper Cervical Techniques (including Blair-based models): Precise corrections centered around the upper neck to support nervous system function and posture.
- Pediatric-Focused Care (ICPA + Pediatric Experience): Very gentle, age-appropriate adjustments for infants and children, explained in simple terms for parents.
- Torque Release Technique (TRT): A structured technique system Dr. Cohen has trained in as part of his broader clinical toolkit.
- Gonstead Training (125+ hours): Additional technique education supporting thorough assessment and decision-making.
- NUCCA / Orthospinology Training: Advanced upper cervical education used to refine precision and outcomes for appropriate cases.
Continuing Education & Professional Development
Dr. Cohen has pursued extensive postgraduate education across multiple chiropractic technique systems, including repeated advanced training in the TIC technique, upper cervical approaches, pediatric-focused training (including ICPA and Pediatric Experience), and additional technique education such as TRT, Gonstead, Thompson, Blair, NUCCA, and Orthospinology.
