SPOTLIGHT ON… Back To Wellness Center!

Esperansa Nino, D.C.

Back To Wellness Center Chiropractic & Physical Therapy emphasizes the importance of integrated care to help people dealing with pain.

โ€œBy combining chiropractic care with physical therapy and massage therapy, weโ€™re not just going to get you out of pain,โ€ says owner Jonathan Hancock, D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic). โ€œOur goal is to rehabilitate you so the condition doesnโ€™t become chronic.โ€

Dr. Hancock opened the Back To Wellness Center in 2012 and he says he was pleased to recently welcome a new associate, Esperansa Nino, D.C., to the office.

Patients who visit Back To Wellness will see Dr. Hancock or Dr. Nino for their chiropractic care, and can also see physical therapist Justin Spiegel, DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy).

โ€œWe work closely together and even sit down and brainstorm specific conditions,โ€ says Dr. Hancock. โ€œWe give patients a higher level of care because we are all right under the same roof. Patients get better quicker because weโ€™re all on the same page.โ€

While every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, Dr. Hancock says the Back To Wellness Center often offers shorter treatment plans than patients might expect, because of this integration.

โ€œI would say we average three to five visits to get out of pain for non-traumatic injuries,โ€ he says.

The Back To Wellness Center treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal pains and conditions.

โ€œWe cater to all walks of life,โ€ says Dr. Hancock. โ€œFrom workers comp injuries to auto accidents to athletes.โ€

He adds that the office accepts all insurance plans and is โ€œin networkโ€ for the vast majority of those plans.

โ€œWe also offer flexible, affordable cash pay plans, and work with CareCredit financing, too,โ€ he says.

The Back To Wellness Center Chiropractic & Physical Therapy is located at 27454 Cashford Cir., in the Summergate Professional Center, behind Samโ€™s Club off S.R. 56. The office is open Monday-Wednesday, 9 a.m. โ€“ 6 p.m.; 3 p.m.-7 p.m. on Thursday; and 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. on Friday.

The Frost Family Opens Its 5th Local McDonaldโ€™s!

If youโ€™re a fan of McDonaldโ€™s, youโ€™re probably a fan of the Frost family. Patriarch Jack Frost (third from left in photo) got tired of the frost nipping at his nose in his home state of Wisconsin (where he opened his first McDonaldโ€™s), and relocated his family to our area more than 30 years ago, opening the first of five local Mickey Dโ€™s in 1985 on S.R. 54 in Wesley Chapel.

Today, Frost and his sons John (left in photo) and Chris (far right) and daughter Jen own eight McDonaldโ€™s restaurants, including all five of the locations in our distribution areas (two in New Tampa and now three in the Wesley Chapel area). The most recent opening happened just before we went to press with our latest issue, as the 6,300-sq.-ft. (about as large as the location on 54, which is the second largest in Florida) McDonaldโ€™s on S.R. 56, between the new Longhorn Steakhouse and BJโ€™s Restaurant & Brewhouse (in front of the Tampa Premium Outlets) has opened.

Equipped with a large โ€œplay placeโ€ for the kids and with more sit-down space than most McDโ€™s, Chris Frost says that the new location focuses on customer service, and after watching the pre-opening training of the locationโ€™s employees, I can assure you that you will be greeted by lots of smiles andย  โ€œlet me get that for you right awayโ€ attitudes.

And, if you check out the ad on page 44 of our current Wesley Chapelย issue, youโ€™ll see a Grand Opening special of 20 McNuggets for only $5 (through Feb. 19). For more info, stop in 24-7 (or for the official Grand Opening on Sat., Jan. 28, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.) at McDonaldโ€™s (2609 Creek Grass Way, Lutz) or visit McDonalds.com.
