I have been going to Dr. Dan Yachter, in Lake Mary Fl. since December 2002. On that day I made a commitment that I was going to improve my health. In 12 1/2 years I have rarely missed my weekly appointments, except for vacations. When I return, his office is the first place I go when I get off a plane. At 22 I had been in a car accident which left me with lower back and hip pain which effected sitting, standing, walking and sleep. In 40 yrs of working all of my jobs required standing all day. At 52 when I got to a point where I could not lift my leg to get up on a curb and I had bronchitis 3 times that year, I thought I am the age my Dad was diagnosed with MS, he died at 58. I knew I had to do something. God works in mysterious ways, as I was suffering with my 3rd bout with bronchitis my work started having health workshops. I thought okay I will try going to one. The first one I attended was with Dr Dan Yachter. My first impression was WOW now there is a man with passion! Everything he said made sense. Our bodies were made to heal themselves. An hour later I was at his office on my dinner hour to buy super greens hoping they would help me feel well again. And they did! Obviously the prescriptions and aspirin I relied on daily had not been working. A few weeks after I attended the workshop I decided to make the commitment to start chiropractic care. Best decision I have ever made! After 12 years my health and stamina has improved I can't even tell you how many workshops I have been to. Dr. Dan has updated and always brings new info to all of his workshops. His workshops are outstanding; the knowledge that you receive is mind boggling and has helped me in so many ways. Have you ever seen an M.D. take 1 1/2's hours of his own time to do workshops to teach you to be healthy? Or take 20 patients and their guests to dinner to explain the health benefits of eating good nutritional foods. He does both of these once a month! Also he has been to my house twice to bring life saving info to 25 of my family and friends with an organic chef! At 64 I sure do feel better than I did at 52. Although life has not been without some challenges: Six 1/2 years ago I received that dreaded phone call: You have cancer! It was stage one endometrial cancer. If I had not been practicing all of the things learned in 6 years about eating healthy at Dr. Dan's workshops I know it could have been worse than what it was at the time. After surgery they wanted me to have 30 rounds of radiation I said NO! I watched my sister with AML Leukemia die at 39 from radiation given to her for a bone marrow transplant. I decided to go the natural route however; it did take some soul searching. My motto became: Sugar Feeds Cancer! When I went for my first consult for radiation the waiting area was full of people and dozens of donuts and cookies! I looked at my friend and said I think we are in the wrong place! One of the most important things I have learned, besides not missing adjustments, is that I have the strength to say no to some of the procedures the Doctors want to do. In the last 3 years I have had two major surgeries because of mesh that was put in me 7 yrs ago. About 9 months after each surgery I have developed ITP (low platelets of 3 - 140 is a good low). They have no idea where it comes from but, wanted to remove my spleen. That was another NO. They say they respect your decisions but, for 6 days every MD that came into my room badgered me about removing my spleen. The info learned at all of the workshops has given me the knowledge and strength to stick to my decisions. If you don't think a workshop is for you, someone you know, family or coworker can benefit from what you learned if you pass it on! I know I have survived all of these challenges because of my great chiropractic care from Elevation Health! My passion is gardening and as soon as the sun comes up I am outside working before or after I go to work! My other passion is passing along all of the info that I have learned at Dr. Dan's Workshops. And if you are near my personal space you will hear some tidbit I have learned at a workshop! Knowledge is power! I am thankful to Dr. Dan Yachter and his staff for your total commitment to your patients, your patience when answering questions, your daily blessings and for turning the power on at each adjustment!

"I Can't Fix It, If I Do Not What's Going On." These were Dr. Yachter's words to me when I came in with a sore back and just wanted a quick adjustment. This is what I was accustom to. I would show up to my former Chiropractor and he would snap and crack me and off I would go until I felt that I needed to go in again. I submitted to their through assessment, which I had not experienced before. I understood why they would ask for the X-Ray, but was not certain what the other tests they were doing were for. That was until, they combined all the results and were able to give me a real time picture as to what was going on with my spine / bodies health. I first learned that the bones in my neck were pretty close to straight up and down. It looked fine to me, till he informed me that this is not a healthy position for anyone's neck to be in. It is actually suppose to have a curve in it. Dr. Yachter explained that by the neck bones being straight and not curved, that it was pressing in on my spinal cord affecting the communication from my brain to my organs. I have to say that I have been wrestling with my health for over 18 years. None, of it back or neck pain related. However, this new information made me wonder if the health issues that I was battling had something to do with the pinching of my spinal cord. Then he proceeded to show me that one of my neck vertebra at the base of my skull was twisted. Not, just a little, but a lot! This bone was also pressing significantly on my spinal cord. Seeing that neck vertebra twisted like that, I would of thought that I would have been in pain of some sort. But, that was not the case at all. I had no neck pain! But, I certainly had a problem and one that needed correction immediately. He did let me know that this bone and the arch in my neck could be restored to its proper position. That was a relief to hear. I was shown the other test results that showed a snap shot of the communication going on inside of my body. These tests confirmed what the X-Ray showed and that was blockages in the signal flow in my body. It was an easy decision to get on board with a very detailed treatment plan which included, adjustments, in office therapy and at home therapy then follow up X-Ray to check the progress. This was also new to me. This had never been done by previous Chiropractors over the years. I can say, that after 12 visits and the follow up X-Ray and testing. I was able to see the results taking place. Which I found amazing, after only so few visits. We are early on in my treatment plan and my progress is well on track. I highly recommend Dr. Yachter and his team and suggest that everyone get a spinal check up! Who knows what my future health could of looked like if not caught at this stage. Do yourself and your family a favor and get your spine checked. TODAY!! read more

About 4 years ago my husband and I were visiting a local market. As we looked around we found a chiropractor who was giving a free scan down the backs of people. I had been suffering severe pain in the upper back for a long time. We had tried a lot of doctors and specialists to no avail. I also had the cough from Hades which I could never get relief from. My posture was all bent up from the pain and frankly I was a mess. As we watched my husband said. 'Why don't you try it." So I did. I thought. 'Well why not! I have nothing to loose.' The results showed that there were lots of issues going on with me. As a result of what we saw and heard from the two very knowledgeable people who were doing the tests, we went to the clinic in Lake Mary, two days later. What I found at the clinic was a warm and friendly reception. We met two brilliant Doctors, Dr Dan and Dr Leif. These people were warm and friendy and extremely capable and clear in telling me about my problems and said that they would like the opportunity to help me. They pointed out the issues I had and recomended that I let them help me right away. I did! That was four years ago and I am still going to them on a regular basis. I feel SO much better in myself My posture is upright now,thanks to the adjustments, special excercises and guidance from these Doctors my back no longer hurts and my breathing has alltered for the better. I feel I can't say enough about them. I see Dr Dan regularly and Dr Leif occaisionally. They both use a different method and they are both very good at what they do, with excellent results. Whenever I go to the office I feel like I am part of the family. Everyone there remembers my first name as I walk through the door. I am never just a stranger or a number. I am greeted with hugs when I meet staff I don't see often but who have been there a long time. It makes you feel good about yourself. I always get a hug from Dr Dan after my adjustments. Super nice. I have been to lots of seminars where Dr Dan teaches people about the value of the adjustments which, along with correct nutrition enhance the body's ability to resist disease. He makes learning fun and exciting. He is always ready to talk to anyone who asks him a question. His patience seems endless. He knows what he is doing and his knowledge is extensive. I think he amazes us all. I highly recomend this clinic to everyone I meet or whenever the subject of chiropractics comes up. sincerely Stella B. Debary, Florida. read more

I was first introduced to Dr Dan Yacther's practice at a store where they were had an info table and free scan. I was impressed by what I heard. When I got home I told my husband who felt it was a bunch of holkum. I finally convinced him to go to an introductory meeting to hear about this explaination about how and why we get sick and how it can be addressed by the brain/spine connection thrrough the arc of life. After listening to and understanding this simple & common sense explaination we decided it would be foolish not to give it a try. This has got to be the best and most important decison we made in our lives for our well being. My husband said to me one day "This is a good thing you did, thanks" He has suffered back and knee problems his since his 20's and now he says he has not felt this good in years, which is quite evident when you see him during his daily activities. He was on many medications for heart problems, HBP, prostrate issues he is now down to one medication. My daughter and I both suffered from allergies, taking meds almost daily and now they are almost nonexistant. I have never met such a wonderful group of people as I have at Dr.Dan's, Everyone always has a smile, is always willing to help you (often going out of thier way to do so), they are very thoughtful and caring, they make you feel like family (you know the nice ones that you like and make you feel good to be around) Last year I suffered a bad accident with many injuries. The care, concern, compassion, prayers, wishes and aid that my family and I recieved from Dr Dan especially,and his staff, during the worse time of my life,was overwhelming. I truly wish there were more people in this world like Dr Dan and his staff with the love care and concern for others aside from their knowledge, expertise, and exceptional care. What a wonderful word this would be. Thank-you Dr Dan, Dr Leif, Ramona, Crystal and the rest of the staff! read more

I don't even know where to start. All I did was accompany my husband to his appointment and attended a free workshop and I was stunned at how our Spine Health is sooooooo important! Just something we rarely think about. Dr. Dan has such a way to explain it so that us common folk(not Doctors), can understand it. I had a constant headache accompanied with neck pain and from my shoulder down to my hand in my right arm so bad that I couldn't even grasp anything. I must admit that it took me about 3 weeks for me to go ahead and let them take my x-rays. They let me know where my spine was "lacking perfection" and behold, I started treatment...(Dr. Dan is the best adjuster EVER ALIVE and WELL. Dr, Ross Reaver used to adjust me since I was born and passed away, so "the best" is all I can compare to). My neck pain was GONE within the first adjustment, thanks to Dr. Leaif that found a bone out of wack in my neck and put it back into place, and arm issues (carpal tunnel), GONE within 2 weeks. This Gem in disguise needs to be out there! The office is very organized thanks to Ms Jayne and the food in The Cafe is just another review in itself! If you ever see The Advance Team screening at your favorite place, sign up, you will NEVER regret it! SINCERELY, Barbie Lowry, Sanford, FL read more

I am so glad my daughter and I came in for a consultation at Elevation Health! It changed our lives! We have been patients for 8 months and we feel better than ever. I had alot of sinus issues and headaches in the past and that was the first thing I noticed that was improving from getting regular adjustments and doing the rehab exercises that I was assigned. My daughter had a shoulder injury that subsided after regular visits. We both have battled eczema all our lives and our flare ups with that have improved as well. We have more energy and less aches and pains. There are quite a few other things that have improved in our life as well, my list could go on. Not to mention that it feels like family when you walk in the door. Everyone is always so helpful and caring. I have learned so much about my body and nutrition from the workshops and the staff. Its also wonderful that there are three chiropractors to help you and that have a passion for what they do. We are so blessed to have found Elevation Health. It has opened our eyes and changed our lives so that we can live our life to the fullest! read more

Oma Brown- "sharing is caring" After two visits, x-rays, and two slight adjustments at Elevation Health and working with the staff (Dr. Martinson, Dr. Dan, Jeannette and Kelly) I knew in my heart something was right. The puzzle came together. It all just fit. One major adjustment later I felt for the first time in many years the biggest relief in my neck. 35-40 years of degeneration disc disorder to the point of being scared stiff and in so much pain. I had very limited mobility prior to these visits. Six weeks later, I feel and move undeniably better. My pelvic, lower back, and spine are all in line. The nerves are finally alive and talking to the brain so to speak! In only six weeks I can finally do all of these things again: Walk more often/exercise Better posture I smile more often from not being in pain I am going to live longer! This is only the beginning of my journey here at Elevation Health, and I look forward to working with them for the rest of my life! Thank you so much Dr. Dan, Dr. Martinson, Jeannette and Kelly you all have truly turned my life around! Best, Oma Brown read more

Dr. Dan Yachter, Dr. Leif Martensson and their staff (Jeannette, Kelly and Sarah) are incredible. Up until approximately 2 years ago, I didn't have much faith in Chiropractics, but conventional medicine was unable to diagnose the problems I was having with leg pain, I decided to give Chiropractics and Dr. Dan a shot at it. Possibly one of the best decisions I have ever made in my 74 years of life. Not only were they able to diagnose the problem, but through adjustments they were able to eliminate the pain in my legs, improve the circulation in my legs and thereby almost completely eliminate the sever discoloration in my right leg. In addition, by attending many of the "free" seminars that Dr. Dan gives, I have learned a great deal about strengthening my immune system and many other health related topics. The entire staff at Elevation Health, Lake Mary, FL are genuinely caring, devoted and professional people. So much so that I consider them more like family. I highly recommend Elevation Health, Lake Mary, FL to everyone. read more

I have been an Elevation Health patient since 2007. What brought me to the practice was an outreach event where I received a complimentary back scan and I began to get adjusted for neck and back pain issues. I received more than just treatments. I received an education about how being healthy is a simple thing--- you just do it. Dr Dan Yachter and his staff are passionate about helping. the community know the truth about quality life and health without drug interference. The body can and will heal itself when it gets the proper care(chiropractic adjustments) and nutrition. Simple strategies to help to prolong your life so you can live life to its fullest potential. Dr Dan's passion for being healthy is contagious and makes others want to be passionate about being healthy also. Thanks, Dr Dan for being a catalyst for change to being an advocate for healthy living. read more

I was referred to Elevation Health in Lake Mary by a friend and I am so glad I listened to what he had to say. I had no idea that chiropractic care could be the answer to so many of the physical ailments I had struggled with for so many years. To be honest, I am one of the biggest skeptics out there, but after only about 6 months, I am now a believer! I am medication-free (with the blessing of my Family Practice physician!), my blood-pressure has never been better, my Fibromyalgia symptoms are GONE, and I am healthier now, at almost 60 years old, than I was at 40! Dr. Dan is one of the most compassionate physicians I have ever met and his passion for healthy living is shared by every one of his staff. To say that his passion is contagious would be an understatement. In fact, I drive over an hour, each way, to his office for treatment and it is worth it! read more

When one gets over the age of sixty and you realize you haven't been kind to your body, it can be frightening trying to climb up out of that unwellness pit. Thank God for Elevation Health and the encouraging, totally professional, doing-it-excellently for the good of the clients staff! Its so hard getting well, and this team of like-minded, beautifully supportive professionals has meant the world to me! I came to Dr. Yachter hobbling in from the parking lot, with aches and pains and a dark cloud over me. There were so many doubts and anxieties. I am now on track without pain, without that dark cloud, and the support and advice (happily given!) from each and every person on staff! IT REALLY DOES TAKE A VILLAGE! I've finally found my 'village', and I give praise to God for bringing be here, to THIS PLACE, with THESE PEOPLE! read more

Dr Dan's is the best chiropractor in town. My mom has been telling me for years to start going so my children & I started during one of their anniversary events. I had lower back pain for so long that I just "learned to live with it". My son has a developmentally delay and through Dr Dan's scan we were able to see that his skull bone and too vertebrae were practically butting up against each other. We've been consistently coming for about 2-3 months now. My back pain is 90% relieved, And through new scans my sons bones are creating space in the right direction.! We are so thankful we took a chance & are committed to this journey. If you need a change in your body health, this should be your first stop. He's excellent & the staff is so friendly, helpful and care about every patient as family. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Yachter for almost 10 years. You might think, why? There must be something wrong if you have to continuously see a chiropractor for that long! I go because I have never felt better and I want to continue to feel that way. I am 63 years old and I am not on any kind of medication, unlike most of my counterparts who must take them in order to feel half as good as I do. I owe my healthy life to Dr. Yachter. Even though I have recently moved to a place that is close to the Orlando airport, I will drive the extra distance to get my adjustments from Dr. Dan. He has varioius health seminars once a month that are worth particiapting in as they extremely informative. If you want to feel better than you do right now, give him a call, and I am sure he will "straighten" you out. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Dan for years now. I moved to Florida from up north and my first experience with chiropractor in the area was not positive. Felt more like number then a patient. Thankfully I met Dr. Dan at of his dinners he does. I am so grateful to have found him and all those that work at Elevation Health. He treats you like family and cares about your overall health. He takes the time to educate you. I have hard job and am on my feet 12 hours or more a day. Without regular adjustments I wouldn't be able to work as hard as I do. He also treats my children to ensure they grow up with healthy spines. It's so important for your overall wellbeing. If you are looking for amazing chiropractor look no further. Dr. Dan will change your life. I promise read more

I was referred to EH by my 93 year old neighbor after she read an article in the Orlando Sentinel about Fibromyalgia. She could touch her feet doing yoga and I could barely bend my waist without pain.I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia more than 20 years ago. I took a turn for the worst when I received whiplash in a car accident in 2011. My car was totaled when a fully loaded 18-wheel truck rear ended me. I had tried other Chiropractors and Acupuncture treatments with poor results. I took a leap of faith and started the Chiropractor adjustments, with physical therapy and supplements over four months ago. I am happy to report that I am finally on road to healing. I look younger, feel less pain, have more strength and can touch my toes without pain! read more

Dr. Dan is the best chiropractor! He does an exam with X-rays and really gets down to the root of your issues and where your pain is stemming from. I've been grinding my teeth for years, even cracked a tooth! I had no idea that it was caused by the stress and tension from my neck, because it is straight instead of properly curved. I also had knee pain and a swollen ankle every day, this all slowly started going away with adjustments and daily exercise, because it was reverting from the top of my spine all the way down. He gives at-home exercises to do daily in between getting adjustments. He's always there to help with tips on food, nutrition, and how to keep your immune system at its highest level. I really recommend going to this office! read more

I just moved in the area and was looking for not just a chiropractor but also a doctor that could meet nutritional needs as well. Dr. Dan Yachter and his entire staff are amazing, efficient, full of knowledge and certainly well trained; and they want you to be informed as well by offering workshops and continued education. I came to Dr. Dan and Dr. Leif with insomnia, back pain and food pain. I was treated previously with steroid injections for this pain. The consultation was absolutely unbelievable! It was comprehensive and precise. Well, no more injections! And I am sleeping! If you are looking for a "Family" Chiropractor, look no further! We have found a doctor and team we can call "Family." Alice B read more

I have been with Dr. Dan for 3 years. I met him at a dinner, where he was the speaker and I was thinking, "a chiropractor"? Funny thing is I believed everything he said regarding the spine. I had been having headaches for a few years when I went for my first round of adjustments. By the end of the week, my headaches were gone! The Dr.s and staff are the best! They will always answer any questions that you may have. Right now we are working on correcting the curvature in my spine and I am thrilled to say it's getting better every week. I can't describe what it feels to be well, but that is exactly what I tell everyone who asks. The feeling of well-being. read more

I started treatments with Dr. Yachter in 2009 followiing a car accident. His caring and professional attitude and treatments facilitated the healing of my body. His goal was always to place my body, through my spinal and nervous system, in the best shape to heal. He never seeks to cover up or cause issues with pharmeceuticals. He provides updated x-rays and scans showing the visual progress. Dr. Yachter also provides excellent videos jam-packed with complicated medical information that he simplifies for understanding. As health professionals come out with "new" information, I always smile and remember I heard that years ago from Dr. Yachter. read more
