WFTV's Bob Opsahl says he "was a mess" before Dr. Tamara Fox helped him recover from elbow, wrist, and lower-back pain. His is one of many success stories that back up Dr. Fox's practice, where traditional and technological treatments banish pain and restore balance. She has a holistic, comprehensive perspective on biology, and after years of performing spinal adjustments, she's a seasoned pro. Dr. Fox is also dedicated to spending as much time as necessary with every client, eschewing "drive-thru service" in favor of thorough, attentive appointments that are free of cheeseburgers.

Certified nutritionist Amy Barnes knows how difficult it is to lose weight and strengthen one's self esteem. In 2007, the mother of two active boys weighed 500 pounds. Her resolve to be able to actively play with her children led Amy to fortify her will power and lose 340 pounds without surgery, diet pills, fad diets, or an expensive boxing montage.

Having been on the client side of the counseling desk, Amy knows the rigors of losing unwanted pounds and creating a healthy lifestyle. That's why she molds weight-loss programs that specifically address each client's schedule and bodily needs. Through nutritional and wellness coaching, she helps clients find both outer and inner strength in order to attack their goals.

For more than two decades, Galelli Health Wellness Center's certified acupuncturist has eased the pains and thwarted the illnesses of clients with little more than a set of slim needles and an intimate understanding of the body’s inner workings. Instead of treating the symptoms of one's complaints, a blend of herbal prescriptions and acupuncture address root causes of physical problems, such as an energy imbalance or cursed pair of knee socks. As the bad humors behind maladies, from sinusitis to tennis elbow, depart the body, clients stay calm reclined in a treatment chair set in the center’s communal treatment room.

At Body Balance of Winter Park, sound waves do more than translate words to speech and musical notes to melody. Ultrasonic waves transform the body into a slimmer, firmer figure that can decode AM radio transmissions. Paired with nutrition counseling, the contouring treatment can drain away fat and keep it away. The center's technicians perform the noninvasive treatment atop a bed in a carpeted, private room bedecked with paintings.

At Any Lab Test Now, a medical-testing facility replete with a CLIA-certified laboratory, patients typically wait for no more than 15 minutes to see a staffer and receive a blood, DNA, STD, or drug test. The tests don't require prescriptions or doctors' approvals, and patients usually receive the confidential results within 48 hours. They can decide how they’d like to receive the results—whether by pickup, email, snail mail, or fax from the future.

When Dr. Noah Herbert landed an internship with a chiropractor as a student, he thought of it only as a steppingstone to his traditional medical license. His once-clear path took an unexpected turn, however, when he witnessed the healing powers of chiropractic therapy firsthand. Shortly after completing his internship, Dr. Herbert shifted his career aspirations.

His subsequent years of studying chiropractic have certainly paid off: he now helms a team of skilled health practitioners, including a licensed massage therapist, at Synergy Wellness Chiropractic. Beyond spinal adjustments and massages, Dr. Herbert and his staff coach clients toward healthier lives with corrective exercises and nutrition advice that emphasizes the importance of vegetables and super-soldier serum in a balanced diet.
