What Our Customers Are Saying
We could say great things about ourselves but that would not be fair, we would show some bias. It's more appropriate to let our patients express their opinions about the treatment they receive.

I was able to get in for an appt. very quickly so I was so thankful for that! The girls up front were very nice and helpful. I ended up getting a cool laser therapy for anti inflammatory done on my knee. It wasn't painful at all and it was done for a total of 10 min.
What to Expect
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.
There are three general phases of chiropractic care:
Relief Care
If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care two to three times per week for four to 12 weeks
Corrective/Restorative Care
During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care four to eight times per month for six to 24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem
Wellness Care
Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor one to four times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals
Services & Techniques
At Vida Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Some of the services we offer at our Ocala office are:
Chiropractic Adjustment
Is a very safe, specific, controlled force applied to a joint to restore proper function and mobility. Accidents, falls, stress or overexertion can negatively impact your spine or other joints. These changes impact tissues, the nervous system and other areas of the body. Left unresolved, this can make you more susceptible to chronic problems. Chiropractic adjustments reduce pain, increase movement and improve performance. (This is directly from Palmer College of Chiropractic).
Celluma Therapy
Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today. Based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions. Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For example, some reduce inflammation and some kill bacteria, while others enhance localized circulation.
Electric Muscle Stimulation
"E-stim" is used for:
- Relaxation of muscle spasms
- Assistance in the management of chronic and intractable pain
- Assistance in the attempt to prevent disuse atrophy
- Post-traumatic and post-surgical acute pain modulation
- Increase of local blood circulation
- Muscle rehabilitation and re-education
- Immediate post-surgical stimulation of muscles
Laser Therapy
A laser is a beam of light in which high energies can be concentrated. Laser light has unique physical properties, which other types of light do not have. These are coherence and monochromaticity. These are what makes laser light is so effective compared to other kinds of light in the field of pain reduction and healing. Laser treatment (also known as phototherapy and low level laser therapy) involves the application of low power coherent light to injuries and lesions to stimulate healing and reduce pain.
It is used to increase the speed, quality and strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation and give pain relief. Low level laser technology has been found to offer superior healing and pain-relieving effects compared to other electrotherapeutic modalities such as ultrasound, especially in dealing with chronic problems and in the early stages of acute injuries. Low level laser technology is a complete system of treating muscle, tendon, ligament, connective tissue, bone, nerve, and dermal tissues in a non-invasive, drug-free modality.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression traction therapy is a non-surgical traction therapy for the relief of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain. During this procedure, by cycling through distraction and relaxation phases and by proper positioning, a spinal disc can be isolated and placed under negative pressure, causing a vacuum effect within it. This process can increase disc hydration and open the intervertebral foramina.
Traction will create a relatively quick initial response. It is only applied by following specific doctor’s orders. Here are basic parameters that you may notice with prescribed traction. Typical frequency can be 3-5 times per week.
Complimentary Consultations
At Vida Chiropractic, you will find that your consultation is a conversation and not a commitment. Dr. Leon will gladly sit down with you and discuss health concerns, unique to you. There will be no charge for the consultation, and there will be NO high-pressure sales pitch.
