Recovering from an injury can involve much more than treating the immediate pain. From rehabilitation and strengthening to posture and emotional well-being, long-term recovery often requires looking at the whole person—not just where it hurts.
On this episode of The Gold Standard Radio Show, GOLDLAW Founder and CEO Craig Goldenfarb sits down with Dr. Chris White, founder of Backsaver in West Palm Beach, to discuss his approach to chiropractic care and rehabilitation, common misconceptions about chiropractic treatment, and what patients should know when recovering from an injury.
Dr. White has practiced chiropractic medicine in Palm Beach County since 1998 and founded Backsaver in 2007. Rather than focusing solely on traditional chiropractic adjustments, his practice incorporates rehabilitation and therapeutic options including stretching and strengthening programs, traction, muscle stimulation, shockwave therapy, ultrasound, post-surgical rehabilitation, and at-home exercises.
Chiropractic Care Is More Than an Adjustment
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding chiropractic care is that every patient receives the same type of spinal adjustment. Dr. White explains that his approach is much more conservative and individualized.
For patients who may be nervous about chiropractic treatment, particularly after hearing negative stories online, he emphasizes communication and education. That includes explaining and demonstrating treatments before proceeding and gradually introducing care based on the patient’s comfort and condition.
Dr. White also discusses the differences between physical therapy and the physiotherapy services offered within a chiropractic setting and why rehabilitation can involve several different treatment modalities.

Recovering After an Accident Can Take a Team
For someone recovering from a car accident or other traumatic injury, physical pain may only be one part of the experience.
Dr. White and Craig discuss how an accident can affect someone physically and emotionally, making a trusted network of professionals especially valuable during recovery. When a patient’s needs extend beyond his area of expertise, Dr. White emphasizes the importance of connecting that person with the appropriate physician, specialist, therapist, or other professional.
It’s an approach centered on helping the individual find the resources they need rather than attempting to address every problem within one practice.

Taking a Holistic Approach to Long-Term Health
Dr. White’s philosophy also extends beyond treating an immediate injury. He encourages patients to consider factors such as nutrition, hydration, exercise, posture, and other everyday habits that can affect long-term health.
That philosophy is also reflected in the time he spends with patients. New patient evaluations can last approximately an hour, allowing him to better understand the patient’s condition, concerns, and goals before developing an appropriate course of care.

Is “Tech Neck” Affecting Your Posture?
One everyday problem Dr. White believes deserves more attention is poor posture—particularly as adults and children spend increasing amounts of time looking at phones, computers, and other screens.
Often called “tech neck,” repeatedly looking downward can place additional strain on the neck and spine.
Dr. White recommends becoming more conscious of posture throughout the day and engaging the body’s core muscles to help maintain a more upright position. Developing better habits now can help support spinal health over the long term.

Giving Back to Palm Beach County
The conversation also goes beyond healthcare.
Dr. White discusses his commitment to mentoring younger chiropractors, supporting other professionals, and giving back to the Palm Beach County community. During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, he helped distribute supplies including masks and pulse oximeters to people in need.
Backsaver has also supported local community initiatives, including GOLDLAW’s Back to School Bash.
For Dr. White, helping others—whether they’re patients, young professionals, or members of the community—is an important part of the standard he has tried to establish throughout his career.
