About Balanced Spine Center
Patient-Focused Care That Puts Your Health First
Your health and function come first at Balanced Spine Center. Our individualized approach considers your symptoms, daily activities, and goals when planning care. We approach the body as a connected whole, not separate parts. Recommendations are based on your health history, examination findings, and goals.
The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association Difference
Our chiropractor, Dr. Jose Portela, DC, is Board Certified in the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) method of care for patients in central Florida. This method focuses on the relationship between the upper cervical spine, posture, and spinal alignment, using carefully directed, low-force adjustments. Your assessment considers upper neck alignment, posture, and movement alongside your symptoms and health history. Our chiropractor has completed additional training in the NUCCA method and uses this approach when clinically appropriate. Patients interested in this approach can discuss whether it suits their needs during an evaluation.

Enhancing Health During Every Stage of Life
Perhaps you’re an active parent, a young athlete, or a dedicated runner, cyclist, or triathlete. We are the only office providing board-certified NUCCA care in Central Florida—and one of only three in the entire state. An individual evaluation helps determine whether chiropractic care is suitable or whether you need a referral to another provider.
If you have ongoing discomfort after cervical fusion surgery, our chiropractor will review your surgical history and current symptoms before determining whether any chiropractic services are suitable. We may need to coordinate with your surgeon or another treating provider. Many patients come to us after trying other options elsewhere, looking for an assessment that takes time to consider their symptoms, history, and goals. No matter why you visit our practice, our individualized approach meets you where you are.
What You Can Expect During Your Visits
From your first visit, we take time to listen, explain, and answer questions in simple terms. Our chiropractor stays personally accessible to every patient throughout their care.
