Named one of America’s Top Chiropractors by the Consumer’s Research Council of America, Dr. Nicole Bennett, who holds a master’s degree in holistic nutrition has been a practicing chiropractor for more than 20 years. A graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic, in St. Louis, Missouri, she recently moved her office, Bennett Chiropractic and Wellness Center, from Fort Myers Beach to Bonita Springs. Specializing in several chiropractic techniques, Bennett individualizes treatment plans for patients using Diversified, Activator, Thompson, Flexion-Distraction and other treatment modalities.

The Diversified technique is the most commonly used by practitioners. Involving a range of chiropractic adjustments, all of which are used to correct affected vertebral segments, Diversified adjustments use a quick delivery and short thrust to the restricted joints by hand.

The Activator Method uses a small handheld device to deliver quick, low-force impulses to specific areas of the spine. The Thompson technique is a full-spine adjusting technique emphasizing high-velocity, low amplitude and some low-intensity procedures using a drop table.

Flexion-Distraction therapy is performed on a segmented table that moves as Bennett slowly manipulates the spine. The manipulations, combined with the movements of the table, stretch and decompress the spine to relieve any back, leg, neck or arm pain.

Bennett is also certified in acupuncture. She explains, “It’s a tool that promotes natural health, treats and relieves pain, as well as enhances the body’s recuperative powers and supports immunity.” She is also a certified functional medicine practitioner and looks for the root cause of a person’s condition instead of just treating symptoms. She also offers laser therapy, which is an effective, proven modality in clinical trials to reduce pain and edema and promote healing in affected tissues.

“I’m not limited to just chiropractic services, therefore I can create an individualized plan for a patient which incorporates lifestyle changes, nutritional consultations, exercise plans, laboratory testing and self-care techniques. By expanding my current office, it has allowed me to add other services and practitioners that offer complimentary services such as massage, brain-based therapies and one on-one-energy work” says Bennett. Custom orthotics, nutritional supplements, spinal screenings and weight loss are available services, with new services coming soon.

Bennett Chiropractic is located at 3275 Bonita Beach Rd. SW, Ste. 4, in Bonita Springs. For appointments and more information, call 239-763-1288 or visit BeachChiropractor.com
