Dr. John Silva, D.C. is an honors graduate from Barry University in Miami where he received his pre-medical degree. He also graduated with honors from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. While attending Life University, he served as an officer of the Student Alumni Association and traveled the country extensively attending technique seminars. Dr. Silva continues to advance his knowledge of natural healthcare and functional medicine by attending post-graduate training seminars nationwide. He is a member of the Florida Chiropractic Association. One of his most memorable experiences was serving as an honorary doctor on a mission trip to Pachuca, Mexico in July 2000. Through his studies, years of clinical experience, and passion for discovering all things healthy, he is able to provide his patients with the most advanced and sophisticated treatments available in healthcare today.
Dr. Silva has been in clinical practice for fifteen years, providing patients with relief from many musculoskeletal problems. He has helped patients with arthritis, auto-immune disorders, spinal problems, and various neurological conditions. His approach is to first uncover the causative factors of a patient’s health problems using a whole body approach. Once the causes are determined, he then provides his patients with effective, cutting-edge therapies that are designed to recover from the problem, not just suppress the symptoms.
Dr. Silva has helped patients of all ages from infants to several people in their late 90s. He has helped professional athletes, musicians, and race car drivers. His practice is based in Port St. Lucie, Florida, although he has helped patients from all over the world. Continually striving to provide his patients the most effective, natural therapies, he also lectures on the subjects of neuropathy and the effects of stress on human health.
During his years in clinical practice, Dr. Silva has observed an increasing number of patients developing peripheral neuropathy. Realizing that there is not much available in terms of effective solutions for these people, he made it his mission to develop a program for effective neuropathy treatment. His current treatment methods are non-invasive, drug-free, and very effective. The treatment methods provided by Dr. Silva are continually evolving as new science and therapies are researched.
Dr. Silva is actively involved in clinical research on effective, non-invasive treatments for a variety of health conditions. He has previously been involved with research on the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT) and smoking cessation and has helped thousands of people quit smoking as a result.
He is currently involved in clinical research on the effectiveness of biofeedback micro-current therapy on sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic pain, plantar fasciitis and peripheral neuropathy. Together with First Alternatives and Avazzia Health Technology, Dr. Silva continues to expand his reach on helping more neuropathy sufferers.
