"I believe if you give the body the right tools, it can heal itself.” Dr. FlorAnne Cruz
Southern Chiropractic & Wellness Center has been providing chiropractic care to the Statesboro community since February 2014
Dr. FlorAnne Cruz is a Board Certified Doctor of Chiropractic who focuses on restoring the body to health naturally, through working with the spine, extremities, biomechanics, and nervous system. She enjoys educating others on the importance of a wellness lifestyle, which includes a balanced nervous system, proper diet, exercise, stretching and a healthy mental attitude. Dr. FlorAnne Cruz’s main mission is to bring together all aspects of healthcare in order to maximize our patient’s results.
“I wanted to work in the medical field and originally considered becoming a physical therapist, then every type of doctor you could think of.”
After extensive research on chiropractic, Dr. FlorAnne Cruz decided to switch her career of Physical Therapy to Chiropractic.
I shadowed a local chiropractor, and I realized I could help people without the use of drugs or surgery with just my hands. My mother, who was a nurse, constantly reminded me not to take any medications if it was not needed. A light bulb lit up for me. This was my calling.”
Dr. FlorAnne Cruz pursued her doctorate at Palmer Chiropractic College. She became the Class President and was nominated for “Clinical Excellence” because she demonstrated superior quality of service to her patients. She completed her “Doctor of Chiropractic” degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic. She is a member of the Georgia Chiropractic Association and Florida Chiropractic Association.
In addition to her doctorate, Dr. Cruz is certified in nutrition, as she is passionate about incorporating nutrition into patients’ health and wellness regimens. She is devoted to constantly improving her techniques and enjoys learning new ones in an effort to improve patient outcomes. Some of the techniques include, for example, muscle scraping and Kinesiotaping. Prescription of exercise, nutritional protocols and nutritional supplements is something Dr. FlorAnne Cruz also practices to improve patient outcomes.
Dr. FlorAnne Cruz was born in Savannah, Ga but raised in Bulloch County. She attended Southeast Bulloch High and graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a minor in Psychology. “Coming back home to my community to help and teach others and promote the value of chiropractic was always one of my goals.”

Our Practice Mission
We’re here to improve and maintain the overall health of our patients. We believe the nervous system is the master system of the body, and our goal is solely to align that system so your body can function optimally.
Once the nervous system is operating in peak condition, all of the other linked systems in your body will be allowed to do the same. Nothing is holding you back from living life to its fullest potential. Dedicate the time and consistency to a healthy routine of maintenance and care, and the positive effects will echo through every aspect of your life.
Our practice does not look at your immediate symptom and apply a one size fits all treatment. We examine a patient’s medical history, entire physical condition, and all underlying past traumas in order to apply a personalized treatment plan that addresses everything that is causing today’s pain and discomfort.
Dr. FlorAnne Cruz’s personal commitment to a healthy lifestyle has enabled her to provide direct, first hand advice to patients experiencing many different conditions. We are confident that chiropractic care can offer you a solution, even if you have already exhausted every traditional medical resource.
