Clinic Overview / Our Mission

Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic was founded in 2021 with one clear mission: to help people feel safer in their bodies by supporting healthy nervous system function. Serving individuals and families throughout Pompano Beach and surrounding South Florida communities, our clinic focuses on gentle, specific chiropractic care that respects how the body is designed to adapt and heal.

As a trusted chiropractor in Pompano Beach, FL, we take a calm, education-first approach to wellness care. Instead of chasing symptoms, we look at how the nervous system is communicating with the rest of the body and whether stress or imbalance may be interfering with that process. Our goal is simple—give patients clarity, confidence, and care that feels supportive rather than overwhelming. Many of our patients find us through word of mouth and online reviews, often sharing how much they appreciate the welcoming environment and the time we take to explain what’s happening and why it matters.

Our Story / How the Practice Began

Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic began with a deeply personal experience. As a child, Dr. Michael Cohen struggled with significant health challenges that shaped how he viewed the healthcare system. Later, after discovering nervous-system-focused chiropractic care, he experienced changes that redirected his entire life path. That experience didn’t just lead him to chiropractic—it shaped the philosophy behind this clinic.

After graduating in 2018 and gaining experience in a high-volume practice, Dr. Cohen returned to South Florida with a vision for a different kind of clinic—one that felt calm, intentional, and grounded in understanding the body rather than forcing it. In May 2021, Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic opened its doors. Since then, the clinic has grown steadily, expanding its technology, refining its care processes, and welcoming families looking for a more thoughtful, nervous-system-centered approach to chiropractic care.

Our Care Philosophy: Nervous System–Focused Chiropractic

At the core of everything we do is the nervous system. The brain and spinal cord coordinate how the body moves, heals, adapts, and responds to stress. When that communication is disrupted—whether from physical stress, emotional stress, or life events—the body may begin to compensate in ways that don’t feel great over time.

Our doctors focus on identifying areas where the nervous system may be under stress and supporting the body with gentle, specific adjustments designed to reduce that interference. This approach doesn’t rely on forceful twisting or cracking. Instead, it prioritizes precision, adaptability, and respect for each individual’s comfort level. We believe care works best when patients understand what’s happening—so education is always part of the process.

Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Michael Cohen, Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Michael Cohen earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Sherman College of Chiropractic in 2018, following his undergraduate studies in biology at Florida Atlantic University. His clinical focus centers on upper cervical and tonal chiropractic approaches, including Tonal Integrative Correction (TIC), with additional training across multiple technique models.

Dr. Cohen has a strong interest in pediatric and neurological care and frequently works with patients experiencing migraines, dizziness, nerve-related symptoms, and complex stress patterns. He emphasizes objective assessment—often using neurological scans and advanced imaging for many adult cases—to help patients clearly see changes over time. In practice, he’s known for his calm presence, clear explanations, and commitment to helping patients feel informed rather than rushed.

Dr. Susan Lee, Doctor of Chiropractic

Born and raised in South Florida, Dr. Susan Lee brings both academic excellence and deep compassion to patient care. She graduated summa cum laude from Sherman College of Chiropractic, earning consistent Dean’s List recognition throughout her training.

Dr. Lee is certified in Torque Release Technique (TRT) and trained in Tonal Integrative Correction (TIC)—gentle chiropractic methods that focus on nervous system function without forceful adjustments. She especially enjoys working with children and families, and she’s passionate about helping patients understand chiropractic in simple, relatable terms. Patients often describe her as calm, attentive, and reassuring, particularly if they feel nervous or unsure about starting care.

Dr. Julia Sopira, Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Julia Sopira grew up in New Jersey in a close-knit family and spent many years training as a dancer. Through dance-related injuries, she was introduced to chiropractic care at a young age—an experience that shaped her interest in how the body heals and adapts under stress.

She completed her undergraduate studies in biology before earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University. Dr. Sopira has completed additional training in Network Spinal care, cranial-sacral education, and pediatric cranial adjusting, and she has a strong passion for pediatric and perinatal care. She loves working with parents, helping them feel confident, informed, and supported as they navigate their child’s health and development.

A Gentle Approach for All Ages

Care at Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic is designed to meet people where they are—whether that’s a newborn, a pregnant parent, a growing child, or an adult navigating chronic stress or discomfort. The techniques used in our clinic are intentionally gentle and adaptable, making them suitable for a wide range of ages and comfort levels.

We understand that many people feel hesitant about chiropractic, especially if they’ve had uncomfortable experiences in the past. Our approach prioritizes safety, clarity, and respect for each person’s nervous system, creating an experience that feels calm rather than intimidating.

Our Team

Our doctors are supported by a dedicated team that helps make each visit smooth and welcoming. Alicia Fuentes, our Certified Chiropractic Physician’s Assistant (CCPA), plays a key role in patient testing, evaluations, and in-office support. Catalina Grisales, a Care Advocate (CA), assists with scheduling, questions, and guiding patients through their care experience.

From the front desk to the adjustment rooms, our team focuses on creating an environment where patients feel seen, heard, and supported—not rushed through an appointment.

Our Beliefs - Rooted in Education, Not Guesswork

We believe confidence comes from understanding. That’s why education is woven into every stage of care. Many patients undergo neurological scans and structured re-evaluations so progress can be tracked in a clear, objective way. Instead of vague explanations, we take time to show patients what we’re seeing and how their care plan is designed to support their nervous system over time.

This approach helps patients make informed decisions and feel more connected to their health journey.
