Dr. Joseph Aprile returned to his Tampa hometown after obtaining his chiropractic license, which he now uses to promote whole-body wellness with advanced chiropractic care. Whether dealing with twinges of pain caused by sports injuries, car accidents, or crushing tax refunds, Dr. Aprile and his associate, Dr. Simon Groseclose, espouse a natural healing philosophy that ditches drugs and surgery for corrective spinal adjustments, spinal decompressions, and digital x-rays. The doctors further encourage well-being with laser-therapy sessions, which aim to stimulate the body’s natural healing process by repairing injured tissues with infrared wavelengths. Dr. Aprile is also a licensed massage therapist, and he puts his hands to work gently kneading tight muscles and joints with custom massages.

Center leader Doctor of Chiropractic Cindy Perkins was inspired to help others heal when she suffered a high-school track injury. Chiropractic treatment helped her recover, and now she seeks to share the same healing with her patients. Swapping sneakers for a stethoscope, she leads a team of chiropractic assistants and licensed massage therapists in administering a blend of exercise, chiropractic, and acupuncture therapies along with massages and physical rehab. Dr. Cindy is also a certified mother, and takes great pride in the treatment of children and pregnant women.

The doctors at Envizion Medical help their patients uncover optimal health and balance in their lives through hormone-replacement therapy, weight-loss programs, and food-allergy testing. The therapies and methods tend to focus on hormone optimization, which doctors believe keeps people feeling more youthful and energetic than a kitten rollerblading through catnip.

Hailing from Colombia, Dr. Martinez continues his globetrotting when he visits other countries to donate dental care to patients in need. Here at his own practice, his general, surgical, and cosmetic skills spruce up the smiles of adults and children alike. His website's extensive educational resources, such as video lectures delivered by professional toothbrushes, keep patients informed. Digital x-rays, light-assisted cancer screenings, and intraoral cameras keep Dr. Martinez's practice outfitted with the latest technology.

Many people are guilty of putting undue pressure on their bodies, but probably not 405 pounds worth. Doctor of Chiropractic Chad Filimon hoisted that much weight to claim a state weightlifting championship in high school, giving him a first-hand perspective on the body's limitations and the strength to shoulder half the medical partnership of Advanced Chiropractic Associates, Inc. His partner, Doctor of Chiropractic Joseph Ferrantelli, literally wrote the book––two textbooks in fact––on the clinic's preferred method of treatment, Clinical Biomechanics of Posture (CBP), a method that aims to balance areas of pain or injury with mirror-image adjustments and exercises that focus on the alignment of the entire spine. The doctors also specialize in decompression therapy, on-site massage, laser therapy for chronic pain or depressed cats, and auto-accident-injury treatment, for which Dr. Ferrantelli has attended numerous continuing-education seminars.

In addition to a doctorate in Chiropractic studies and a master's degree in sports science and rehabilitation, Dr. Travis Mohr holds a degree in human biology that reflects his keen insight into the inner working of joints, muscles, and nerves. Chiropractic adjustments and massages treat issues ranging from headaches and back pain to lingering sports injuries or fibromyalgia. Athletes and veteran crash-test dummies benefit from MiyoDac manual therapy treatments, which help break down scar tissue and maintain strength and flexibility around injured areas. Dr. Mohr also helps his patients grow healthier at home with nutritional counseling and corrective exercise techniques.
