4 CRITICAL QUESTIONS CONCERNING YOUR HEALTH AND PICKING THE BEST DOCTOR FOR YOU
1. Does your doctor have advanced trauma credentials (training) in spine care?
2. Does your doctor know how to interpret MRIs?
3. Does your doctor have advanced credentials (training) in spinal biomechanics (how the spine works)
4. Is your doctor's CV (resume) posted online to validate advanced training?
Just like medical doctors with specialties, not every chiropractor is alike. Advanced training verified through their curriculum vitae (doctor's resume) will tell you if you have the best doctor for you. The chiropractic industry has changed for the better, and you should benefit.

Welcome to Laser Based Treatment In St. Augustine
Laser therapy has shown quite good results in dealing with deep muscle and tissue pain. Laser therapy is promising in reducing tissue inflammation and pain. The laser is strong enough to penetrate the skin and reach the muscles but not powerful enough to do any damage. The laser is supposed to help the metabolism of the cells by stimulating the cell’s mitochondria. It is a low side effect process, which is much safer than taking pain meds and other types of medicines to deal with inflammation. Each patient will be given a slightly different version of the therapy that is customized to the patient, depending on various factors. Our trained technicians can help you get the best results from the laser therapy.
Why Is Chiropractic Treatment a Secret To Longevity & Health?
Chiropractic is one of the most popular alternative pain therapies in medicine. Other alternate pain therapy may include acupuncture and Ayurveda, but chiropractic service has shown astonishing results in pain management. For many patients chiropractic adjustments have shown same day results. Not only is it quick, it doesn’t have as many side effects. It is non-invasive so you are not pumping your body with unknown chemicals. Many insurances cover chiropractic service up to 100%, however, it depends from policies to policies. If you have chiropractic covered under your insurance you should get an adjustment, to feel more flexible and energetic. Even if you are not suffering from pain, chiropractic adjustment can help your posture, help with flat feet, sore muscles and fatigue muscles. For athletic kids, chiropractic services can help them with muscle soreness.
Some neuromuscular pain can cause migraines, stress and sleeplessness. Our chiropractors are trained professionals with proper certification who can help you from body pain without medicine.

Chiropractic Explained
Just as there is not one type of pain in our body, there are different types of chiropractic services each with its own specialties. Chiropractic adjustments and laser therapy are two of the services we provide. A chiropractic doctor has studied chiropractic medicine and is a highly professional individual who knows everything about the neuromuscular system and how it works. They examine you first then determine the best course of action. They might perform X-rays, do a physical exam to see if there are underlying medical conditions you should get treated for first. If everything is right, the chiropractic doctor will perform the services to help you with pain, muscle soreness, flat feet, posture, joint pain, etc.

What Our Patients Say
“We love this practice! My adult son with severe autism had contractions in his Achilles tendons. We were told that surgery would be required, which would have been a nightmare for all concerned. Dr. John worked with him for several months and the left foot is now flat on the floor. Going back to work on the right one now. What a great blessing. He is always sensitive to his needs and gets us in ASAP. They use several different methods to deal with an issue. Work on my neck also with great success!”
Susan
“I suffered with neck pain for over 10 years due to a car accident and then feeding my first little one. It caused daily migraines and pain into my jaw. After the third visit with Dr. John and the laser treatment I slept for the first time in years without pain and pain medicine. It truly gave me a better quality of life. Thank you.”
Tara
“Whatta find they are! I’ve had lower back problems all my life and after our move to St. Augustine I was not in very good shape. Fortunately someone gave me the card for Matanzas Chiropractic and I felt so much better after just my first treatment. Dr. John is wonderful about saying that he can’t take the arthritis away but the other things he’s doing about relieving the muscles and tissues around the area are bringing me great relief. It’s a pleasure to walk into that office too … they’re all welcoming and wonderful.”
Janet
“I really loved my prior chiro and was worried I wouldn’t find anyone I liked when I moved from south to north FL. My chiro gave me a list of 3 chiropractors to try and Matanzas was on the list. I called them first and I’m so happy I did. Dr. John has been great. He listened to me when I explained my symptoms and history and recommended laser therapy. My symptoms are chronic and I have been in pain for years. I can now actually go a few days before having to take Advil instead of taking it every day as I have for years. And we have only just started! Love this group of caring professionals. Highly recommend!!”
Vicki
“I pulled a muscle and had terrible pain in my ribs so I called Dr. John and he worked on me for over 30 minutes! When I got to his office I could hardly get out of my car but now I hardly have any pain and can function normally. Thank you Dr. John!
I had a pain going down my right arm for a couple months and it was getting to the point where I couldn’t sleep. Dr. John Hornocker relieved my pain on my first visit to him. I was so impressed I made an appointment to learn more about nutrition and I learned that he is an expert in this field. He helped me understand how my body works and what to eat and not eat. I feel so much better after going to Matanzas Chiropractic.”
