Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Jared Cohen opened The Spine and Wellness Center in 2005, in a 1,500-square-foot suite at 5675 Coral Ridge Drive. He founded it with Dr. Caterina Campesi on a conviction that still runs the practice two decades later: care should resolve the cause of a problem, not simply quiet the symptom that announced it.

As Founder and Clinical Director, Dr. Cohen sets the clinical standard here. He examines thoroughly, explains what he finds in plain language, and builds a plan around the person in front of him rather than a protocol. His approach is patient-centered, holistic and drug-free — treating the whole person, not an isolated complaint.

Patients see him for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, disc problems, headaches, sports injuries and the accumulated wear of daily life. He draws on the full range of tools the clinic has assembled over twenty years — chiropractic adjustment, spinal decompression and traction, the Graston Technique, cold laser and red light therapy, PEMF, cupping, physical therapy and sports rehabilitation.

He also believes chiropractic works best as one part of a larger picture, alongside sound nutrition, regular exercise, real rest and a positive outlook. Dr. Cohen medically reviews the patient-education content published on this site.

Dr. Caterina Campesi co-founded The Spine and Wellness Center in 2005 alongside Dr. Jared Cohen, and has shaped its character ever since. The two opened the practice with a shared commitment: help people in Coral Springs improve their health and their quality of life, and do it without reaching first for medication.

Her focus is corrective care and rehabilitation — the patient, unglamorous work of restoring how a body actually moves after injury, strain or years of compensation. She is known among patients for the combination of precision and warmth she brings to it: she listens before she treats, explains each step before she takes it, and builds a plan around the goals a patient names rather than the ones a chart assumes.

Dr. Campesi practices with the clinic's whole-person philosophy at its center. A stiff neck is rarely only a stiff neck, and a plan that ignores sleep, stress, posture and movement is a plan that will need repeating. She treats the person, follows the problem back to its origin, and measures success by whether patients get their lives back.

Twenty years after the two of them opened a 1,500-square-foot clinic on Coral Ridge Drive, she still practices there, caring for many of the same families and now their children.
