Downtown Chiropractic & Orthotic Center

Glen Bobker and the practice on Broward Boulevard

Downtown Chiropractic & Orthotic Center is at 1601 East Broward Boulevard, suite B. Chiropractor Glen Bobker trained at New York Chiropractic College and says he has practiced in Fort Lauderdale since 1994. The center describes a combination of chiropractic manipulation, therapeutic exercise and massage, as well as assessments for custom foot orthotics.

From walking to the treatment table

One feature of the practice is its advertised complimentary foot-orthotic evaluation. The office says this includes a consultation and history, a foot and posture examination, an assessment of walking and a look at up to two pairs of everyday or sports shoes. The assessment is not the same as receiving custom inserts: anyone considering them can ask the cost, what problems they are intended to address and whether alternatives are appropriate.

The center also advertises electromagnetic field and cold-laser services. Those techniques have different uses and evidence; listing a treatment does not establish that it is appropriate or effective for every condition. Ask how any recommendation relates to the examination and what it will cost.

Visits and practical details

The office publishes hours Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; it lists Tuesday, Thursday and weekends as closed. Telephone 954-463-1166. Its public location listing reports an accessible entrance. A recent patient described a friendly visit and an examination that was not rushed; another discussed attention to a running injury. Individual experiences can illuminate communication but do not guarantee clinical results.
