Dr. Steve Alukonis of Space Coast Advanced Health has opened a second Chiropractic and Functional Medicine practice. “Many of our patients drive from Melbourne and Palm Bay to our Cocoa Beach office and we wanted to accommodate them by having an office closer,” says Dr. Alukonis.

Dr. Alukonis has advanced training in nine chiropractic spinal adjusting techniques. Being a Chiropractic Orthopedist, he has advanced training treating auto accident patients. Dr. Alukonis also treats neck pain, headaches, low back pain, stenosis, sciatic pain, shoulder problems, hips, fallen foot arches, dizziness (vertigo), TMJ and peripheral neuropathy. He has spinal decompression therapy for neck and back disc herniation and uses laser therapy to reduce pain and inflammation.

In addition to chiropractic services, Dr. Alukonis practices Functional Medicine helping auto immune conditions, thyroid problems (e.g., Hashimoto’s), digestive problems, fatigue, weight gain and food sensitivities. He does extensive blood tests including environmental toxins and vitamin levels. Some of the tests include an ALCAT food sensitivity, mold test, heavy metals, Adrenal Stress Index, Cyrex Labs for leaky gut, gluten sensitivity, auto immune test, candida (yeast), bad bacteria and parasites. “In Functional Medicine, we use specialized tests to get to the root cause of your health conditions. We use nutrition, herbs and lifestyle changes to get you back to optimal health,” says Dr. Alukonis.
