Chiropractor Near Margate, FL

Margate sits along State Road 7 between Coconut Creek and North Lauderdale, a city of working families, first-time homeowners and long-established adult communities like Oriole Gardens and Paradise Gardens. Its main roads, Atlantic Boulevard, Margate Boulevard and Sample Road, run straight east to Federal Highway, which puts our Lighthouse Point office about fifteen minutes away.

This office has drawn patients from Margate for three decades for practical reasons: the programs are here, the doctor is the same one every visit, and the billing is handled for you. Margate patients tend to be value-conscious and direct, and they get a direct answer about whether a program will help before they commit to it.

Auto accidents are the first reason. State Road 7, Atlantic Boulevard and the Sawgrass Expressway interchange are among the most collision-prone stretches in west Broward, and many Margate residents drive them twice a day. We treat crash injuries under Florida PIP, verify your coverage before the first visit, and bill the carrier directly. The Florida PIP guide covers the 14-day rule and the $2,500 versus $10,000 question that catches people every week.

The second reason is knees. Margate's adult communities and the golfers at the Carolina Club have the same problem as every 55-plus neighborhood in Florida: worn knees and a surgeon suggesting a replacement. The Knee Restoration Program, Knee-on-Trac decompression plus Class IV laser, is the non-surgical option, and Dr. McNamara is honest about who it will and will not help.

The third is the working back. Margate's tradespeople, drivers, nurses and warehouse workers lift for a living, and by forty the low back is the price. Adjustments and rehabilitation handle most cases; the Spinal Decompression Program handles the herniated discs and sciatica that do not settle. Parents also bring the injuries from the fields at Firefighters Park and the pools at Calypso Cove: sprains, growth-plate soreness and the occasional concussion follow-up that needs a careful neck examination.

• Whiplash and post-accident back pain after crashes on 441, Atlantic Boulevard and the Sawgrass, billed to Florida PIP.
• Knee osteoarthritis in Oriole Gardens, Paradise Gardens and Carolina Club residents.
• Low back strain, disc herniation and sciatica in people who lift for a living.
• Plantar fasciitis from long shifts on hard floors, treated with shockwave and custom orthotics.
• Youth sports sprains and strains from the Margate leagues.

From central Margate: Atlantic Boulevard east about seven miles to Federal Highway (US-1), then north. The office is between Copans Road and Sample Road. Fifteen to twenty minutes.

From north Margate and the Sample Road corridor: Sample Road east all the way to Federal Highway, then a short distance south. The office is just south of Sample Road.

Free parking in front of the building. Accident patients are worked in quickly; call before you drive over and we will hold a time.

I was in a crash on 441. Do I have to see a medical doctor first, or can I start with you?

You can start here. Florida law lists chiropractic physicians among the providers who can deliver the initial treatment that satisfies the 14-day PIP rule. If your injuries look serious enough to qualify as an emergency medical condition, which unlocks the full $10,000 benefit, we coordinate that determination with a medical provider.

Is the knee program cheaper than a replacement?

The Knee Restoration Program is cash-pay and costs a small fraction of surgery, but it is not for every knee. Dr. McNamara examines you first and tells you plainly if you are a candidate. Call (954) 902-6371 to ask about the evaluation.

Do you take my health insurance for a bad back?

We accept major health insurance plans for chiropractic care. Call (954) 902-6371 with your card and the office will verify your benefits before the visit so there are no surprises.

How long does it really take from Margate?

Fifteen minutes on a normal day via Atlantic Boulevard or Sample Road, twenty in rush hour. Both roads run straight to Federal Highway with no turns to remember.
