Family Chiropractic Plus
Dr. Martin was first inspired to become a chiropractor when a snowboarding injury during college rendered him unable to run without pain. This was devastating as Dr. Martin was, and is a very active, healthy individual. After having an MRI and being told that there was nothing wrong with the tissues, the given prognosis was to give it time and it would get better. Nine months of not being able to run without pain was taking its toll on him. It was at this time that his sister dragged him down to the chiropractor where he learned that the problem was not an anatomical problem but a functional problem. It was very clear to the chiropractor what was wrong and after one chiropractic adjustment, he was able to run across the parking lot without pain. That was the inspiration for him to become a chiropractor over 20 years ago. He has been adjusting and educating patients on the benefits of chiropractic care ever since.
Dr. Martin attended both Life Chiropractic College and Life Chiropractic College West, graduating from the latter in 1995. It was then that he commenced practice in Florida and several countries across the world. From Florida to England to Northern Ireland to Australia and finally back home to stay in beautiful Saint Petersburg. In the over 20 years that Dr. Martin has been a Chiropractic Physician he has dedicated his life and work to adjusting as many families as possible toward optimal health and improving their lives through the process. Dr. Martin also speaks English and Spanish in an attempt to better communicate with his patients.

Chiropractic has come a long way…
In 1895, Daniel David Palmer, the father of modern chiropractic, performed the first chiropractic adjustment on a patient of his who had lost his hearing after a back injury some 17 years earlier. The patient reported that after Dr. Palmer adjusted a vertebra in his upper back, some of his hearing returned.
In its infancy, chiropractic was considered part philosophy, part art, and part science. Although the practice had been around for hundreds of years, no one – before Palmer, that is – had drawn connections between the how and why of spinal manipulation.
For the next 120+ years, chiropractic care has grown and evolved into what it is today: a worldwide, recognized treatment for all types of skeletal pain and disorders, and an alternative method of treatment for many other conditions.
