Sarasota Specialty Care

TMJ, Rib Fixations, & Gait Optimization

Is your body stuck in a cycle of compensation? True health requires more than just spinal alignment; it requires every joint—from your jaw to your toes—to move in harmony. At Vertical Chiropractic®, Dr. Bobby Fano, DC, MS specializes in the complex mechanics of the TMJ, rib cage, and human gait, providing corrective solutions for Sarasota’s most stubborn “non-spinal” issues.

Jaw Pain Chiropractor Sarasota

TMJ & Jaw Dysfunction

The jaw is one of the most used joints in the body, and its misalignment can lead to debilitating symptoms. We provide specific corrective care for:

  • TMJ Syndrome: Addressing the mechanical clicking, popping, and locking of the jaw.
  • Cranio-Facial Balance: Investigating the relationship between jaw alignment, chronic headaches, and upper cervical stability.

Rib pain chiropractor Sarasota

Rib Fixations & Breath Mechanics

Rib issues are often misdiagnosed as heart or lung pain. Our Gonstead-based approach targets:

  • Rib Fixations: Correcting restricted rib heads that cause sharp pain during deep breaths or rotation.
  • Intercostal Mechanics: Ensuring the rib cage expands properly to support optimal respiratory and athletic performance.

Sports REcovery chiropractor Sarasota

Gait Dysfunction & Athletic Overuse

How you walk dictates how you age. We utilize advanced biomechanical analysis to address:

  • Gait Dysfunction: Identifying imbalances in your walking pattern that cause “creeping” pain in the hips and back.
  • Chronic Tendinopathies: Solving long-term tendon issues by correcting the mechanical load that caused them.
  • Athletic Overuse Syndromes: Essential for Sarasota’s endurance athletes and golfers who push their bodies to the limit.

Post-Surgery Recovery Sarasota

Post-Surgical Adaptation & Joint Mechanics

Surgery fixes a structural problem, but it often creates a “mechanical” one. We help patients navigate:

  • Post-Surgical Joint Adaptation: Helping the body adapt to hip or knee replacements.
  • Compensation Patterns: Correcting the “limp” or altered gait that often follows surgery, protecting your remaining natural joints from premature wear.
