Dr Faro has been practicing chiropractic medicine since 1989 and established the Alternative Care Wellness Center in Lake Wales, Florida in 1993. Over the years he has continued to study and research the concept of natural healing, following the basic tenets of the chiropractic philosophy.

The chiropractic perspective on health and disease emphasizes two fundamental concepts:

1. The structure and condition of the body influences how the body functions and its ability to heal itself; and
2.The mind-body relationship is instrumental in maintaining health and in the healing processes.

Chiropractic philosophy believes in a patient’s recuperative abilities, and that dynamics exist between lifestyle, environment and health. It also includes the recognition that it is necessary to understand the root causes of an illness in order to eliminate it—not just treat the symptoms.

As a result of his wealth of experience and research, Dr Faro has developed a practice which includes, non-invasive diagnostic testing, nutritional analysis, and natural supplements, along with chiropractic therapies to provide safe, scientific, and effective natural treatment for his patients.
