Dr. Ivan Bracic, D.C., Clinical Director, brings over 30 years of experience in chiropractic and injury care.
In 2021, he received recognition from the International Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression, a panel of 20 medical and chiropractic physicians including orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and neuroradiologists.
This recognition is reserved for practitioners who demonstrate excellence in diagnosing and treating spinal disc disorders using non-surgical methods.
Each outcome represents careful diagnosis, customized treatment, and accountable care providing patients with meaningful relief, restored function, and confidence throughout their recovery journey.
After being in a car accident, I was scared I wouldn't feel back to normal, but Dr. Ivan's expertise has changed my life. No more headaches and my sciatic is so much better. Best office ever!
I have suffered with scoliosis and a multitude of bulging discs in my spine for years now due to many car accidents. I have made more healing progress in the past five months than I did in the past few years thanks to them.
"I was scared of going to the chiro before, but had whiplash from a car accident that needed to be addressed. Dr. Ivan was very patient, helpful, and informative. I started feeling better and more informed every single appointment.
"I am 60 yrs old, was in a terrible motorcycle accident in 2005, lost my lower left leg, cracked pelvis and broken wrist. Never saw a chiropractor in my entire life. I have been dealing with terrible pain ever since 2005. After 2 treatments with Dr Ivan I can stand straight again. The relief I have gotten has been amazing."
"Dr. Ivan took his time to explain everything going on and why he was doing what he was doing. After only one adjustment, I'm feeling fantastic. There's no doubt I will be back whenever I feel a need."
"This car accident really turned my world upside down and the people at Novaré have helped guide me through this process with ease."

We treat a wide range of accident-related injuries and conditions using personalized evidence based care focused on pain relief and recovery.
Clear, honest answers about symptoms, timelines, insurance, and treatment options so you understand your injuries, protect your rights, and make confident decisions after a car accident with professional guidance.
You have 14 days from the date of your accident to see a licensed medical provider. If you miss this deadline, you lose access to your $10,000 in PIP (Personal Injury Protection) benefits and will be responsible for all medical costs out of pocket. We offer same-day appointments at both our Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres locations to help you meet this deadline
Yes. Florida PIP insurance covers up to $10,000 in medical expenses, including chiropractic treatment, when you're treated by a qualified provider within 14 days of your accident. Novaré is a licensed medical corporation, and our treatments are fully covered under PIP. We bill your auto insurance directly so you have no out-of-pocket costs for covered services.
Seek medical attention within 14 days, even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash and soft tissue damage don't show symptoms for hours or days after impact. Get examined, document your injuries, and keep all medical records. Our team handles thorough documentation from your first visit, which protects both your health and your legal case.
Novaré is a fully licensed medical corporation, not a standalone chiropractic office. Our team includes chiropractors, medical doctors, and rehabilitation specialists who coordinate your care under one roof. This means comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and documentation that insurance companies and attorneys recognize as credible medical evidence.
No referral is needed. You can schedule directly with us. We accept all auto insurance for accident-related injuries and work directly with your carrier. If you have an attorney, we coordinate with their office on documentation and billing.
We offer same-day and next-day appointments at both locations. Our Fort Myers office on Summerlin Road and our Lehigh Acres office on Homestead Road both have availability for urgent injury evaluations. Call us or book online and we'll get you in as quickly as possible.
We treat the full range of auto accident injuries including whiplash, neck and back pain, herniated and bulging discs, sciatica, shoulder and hip pain, headaches and migraines from trauma, muscle strains, and soft tissue injuries. We also provide rehabilitation for patients recovering from accident-related surgeries.
Strategically located clinics provide fast, reliable access to expert care for accident victims across Southwest Florida communities.
