About 12 minutes from Wilton Manors
Chiropractor Near Wilton Manors, FL
Twelve minutes north of the Island City. An inclusive, three-decade practice for the fitness, cycling and walking culture of Wilton Manors.
Wilton Manors, the Island City between the forks of the Middle River, is one of the most walkable and most active communities in Broward. Wilton Drive is lined with gyms, studios and cafes, the neighborhoods are laid out for cycling, and the population skews toward people who train hard and expect to keep training. It is also the center of South Florida's LGBTQ+ community, and this office is proud to be listed on Google as LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safe space. Everyone is treated with the same respect in the same rooms.
From Wilton Drive the route is NE 26th Street or Oakland Park Boulevard east to Federal Highway, then north through Pompano Beach to Lighthouse Point, about twelve minutes.
Why Wilton Manors patients make the drive to Lighthouse Point
Wilton Manors patients are, on the whole, fitter than the county average, and their injuries reflect it: shoulder impingement and labral irritation from pressing and overhead work in the gym, low back strain from deadlifts done tired, patellar and Achilles tendinopathy from running the Middle River loops, and the wrist and neck complaints of long rides. Rest alone rarely fixes a tendon that is being loaded five days a week. Shockwave therapy and Class IV laser are the tools for that, and the Shoulder Restoration Program is where the stubborn shoulders go.
The second group is the desk workforce: designers, healthcare workers and remote professionals whose neck pain, headaches and early disc bulges come from screens rather than barbells. Adjustments and posture work resolve most of it; the Spinal Decompression Program handles the cervical and lumbar disc cases that do not.
And because Wilton Manors is a walking and cycling town on roads shared with fast Broward traffic, we see collision injuries here too, including cyclists and pedestrians struck by cars. Florida PIP can cover a Florida resident hit by a vehicle even without being in one; the PIP guide explains how.

Questions Wilton Manors patients ask
Is the practice LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes. The office is listed on Google Business Profile as LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safe space, has a gender-neutral restroom, and treats every patient with the same care. Your chart uses the name and pronouns you give us.
I train five days a week and my shoulder has hurt for months. Will you tell me to stop?
Not as a blanket rule. Dr. McNamara examines the shoulder, identifies what is actually irritated, and adjusts the plan so you keep training around it while shockwave, laser and targeted care resolve the problem.
I was hit by a car while cycling. Does PIP cover me?
If you are a Florida resident, PIP from your own auto policy, or from the policy of a relative you live with, can apply to a bicycle or pedestrian collision with a motor vehicle. The 14-day treatment rule still applies. Call and we will help you sort out which policy responds.
Is the drive worth it compared to a Wilton Manors chiropractor?
For routine adjustments, a local chiropractor is fine. Patients make the twelve-minute drive for shockwave, Class IV laser, spinal decompression and Knee-on-Trac under one roof, and for a doctor who has treated athletes and desk workers from the same office for three decades.
