Passion for Chiropractic

Dr. Mitzelfeld’s passion for West Palm Beach chiropractic has grown over the past 20 years as he has seen the public trend move more towards healthy living. He sees the grave over prescribing of medications ruining lives more and more each day. At Foundation Chiropractic Clinic, we see patients starting off with one prescription and then going on another to help with the side effects of the first then another. This practice is a downward spiral to total dependence on pharmaceutical intervention. As we work with these patients and show them how increasing spinal health, exercise and proper eating habits can reverse this trend it is truly inspiring. So many lives have been made better.
