Why Broward County Residents Choose Friends & Family Spinal Care
Broward County has very few NUCCA-certified chiropractors, and most cities don’t have one at all. Friends & Family Spinal Care is proud to offer this elite technique, available at only 300 clinics worldwide. Unlike traditional chiropractic care that involves twisting or cracking, NUCCA uses gentle, highly precise adjustments that feel more like a light touch than a forceful move.
| What makes NUCCA different | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| No forceful adjustments or “popping” sounds | Focuses on the atlas (C1) vertebra for whole-body balance | Measurable, long-lasting results with fewer visits | Safe for all ages, from newborns to seniors |
Comprehensive Family Care Under One Roof
Many Broward County families struggle to find quality chiropractic care for all ages. Local options either focus solely on auto injuries or offer basic adjustments without specialized training for children and pregnant women.
We treat your entire family:
- Prenatal care: Safe, gentle adjustments for expecting mothers
- Pediatric chiropractic: Gentle care for newborns through teenagers
- Adult wellness: Back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more
- Sports injuries: Recovery and performance optimization
- Auto accident injuries: Complete evaluation and treatment
