Insight Chiropractic in Ormond Beach will host a grand opening and ribbon cutting from 4-5 p.m. on March 19.
Located at 290 Clyde Morris Blvd., Suite A-2, Insight Chiropractic blends chiropractic principles and integrative medicine, with a focus on restoring function, improving quality of life and supporting long-term health, according to a press release. Under Dr. Michael Cox, Insight Chiropractic provides care for full spine, upper cervical, pelvic rehabilitation, radiculopathy, neuropathy and more.
Cox became a doctor of chiropractic after he was diagnosed with an condition impacting his leg about 14 years ago, he said to the Observer. The condition caused him to need supports to walk.
"Three doctors all decided that I would likely never walk again without a cane crutch or brace," Cox said. "I did not accept this and sought care outside the western systems."
Having practiced martial arts when he was young, he rejoined Tai Chi and learned about traditional Chinese medicine. He then traveled to India and spent time learning Ayurvedic remedies for his condition.
Eighteen months later, he said his leg was as "good as new" and didn't need supports.
"This was a great accomplishment, but what came next is what changed me," Cox said. "I helped three others with similar issues do the same kind of thing. I fell in love with helping others overcome severe intractable conditions."
He switched careers and studied pre-med at Seminole State College before attending Palmer Florida College of Chiropractic.
