At Florida Wellness & Rehab, we take great pride in providing the finest wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different services we offer in our Tampa office.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, solid needles into certain points of the body. Acupuncture stimulates the body's ability to resist or overcome illnesses and conditions by correcting energy imbalances. Acupuncture also prompts the body to produce chemicals that decrease or eliminate painful sensations.
Chiropractic Medicine
Chiropractic Medicine aids in the treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the functions of the nervous system and general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuor-musculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Eddie Leonard has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.
Exams / Physicals / X-Rays and Evaluations
If done in a timely manner, preventative exams can detect health problems early before seious health conditions arise. If detected early, most likely these problems can be treated effectively. Referrals for specialists, laboratory services, and advanced imaging is available.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
Massage Therapy
Benefits of massage are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, depression, and more. And, as many millions will attest, massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness. We provide various types of massage including Swedish, deep tissue, sports, neuro-muscular, relaxation, and therapeutic.
Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA)
Manipulations consist of accurately determined and specifically directed manual forces to areas of restriction, whether the restriction is in ligaments, muscles, or joints; the result of which may be improvement in posture and locomotion, improvement in function elsewhere in the body, and the enhancement of the sense of well-being. MUA has been utilized in manual medicine for over 60 years.1

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you. Dr. Eddie Leonard can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
Physical Therapy
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
Spinal & Postural Screenings
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
