Understanding Wellness Care in Naples, FL
Care for How You Function, Not Just Where It Hurts
Wellness care in Naples, FL addresses the questions that pain treatment does not answer. Why is your energy gone by two in the afternoon. Why does the same injury keep coming back. Why has your core never felt the same since your last pregnancy. Why do you leak a little when you sneeze and have quietly stopped talking about it. These are function problems rather than injury problems, and they need a different set of tools.
This department exists because a large share of the patients Dr. James Bergtold, DC has treated over 25+ years did not actually have a purely structural complaint. Their spine was one part of a bigger picture that included metabolism, sleep, muscle quality, pelvic floor strength and mood. Treating the joint helped. It did not finish the job.
Four services sit here, and they split into two groups. Functional medicine is the investigative arm: lab-based, root-cause work that looks at what your bloodwork and history are actually saying rather than treating each symptom in isolation. The other three are BTL device therapies that build function directly, using focused electromagnetic energy to make muscle contract far harder than voluntary effort can, or to stimulate specific regions of the brain.
Wellness is deliberately kept separate from our therapies and advanced treatments department, which exists to resolve pain and injury. The two work together often. Someone rebuilding core strength after a disc episode may be seeing both. Someone whose nerve symptoms turn out to be metabolic rather than compressive will get more from lab work than from another adjustment. Guidance from bodies such as the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration underpins how these services are positioned and what they are claimed to do.
Our Wellness Treatments in Naples
One Investigative Program and Three Device Therapies
-
Functional Medicine and Wellness Care
The root-cause arm of the practice. Functional medicine starts with a detailed history and targeted lab testing, then builds a plan around what the results actually show: nutrition, supplementation where it is warranted, sleep, movement and lifestyle change, with maintenance adjustments alongside. It is the right starting point when your symptoms are systemic, diffuse, or have never fit a clean structural diagnosis. Learn more about functional medicine in Naples, FL.
Best for: fatigue, recurring inflammation, metabolic concerns, symptoms that have not been explained elsewhere.
-
Emsculpt Neo
BTL Emsculpt Neo pairs high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy with synchronized radiofrequency, so a single session works on muscle and fat at the same time. It has a cosmetic use, which is what most people know it for, and a functional use, which is what a chiropractic practice cares about: building genuine core and glute strength in people whose deep stabilizers have shut down after injury, surgery or years of sitting. Learn more about Emsculpt Neo body sculpting and muscle building.
Best for: core weakness after injury or pregnancy, abdominal and glute strengthening, non-surgical body contouring.
-
Pelvic Floor Therapy with Emsella
The BTL Emsella chair delivers thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions per session while you sit fully clothed. It reaches muscles that most people cannot isolate voluntarily, which is why so many well-intentioned Kegel routines go nowhere. Sessions are short, nothing is removed, and nothing invasive is involved. Learn more about pelvic floor therapy with Emsella.
Best for: bladder control concerns, postpartum pelvic floor weakness, core stability that starts at the pelvic floor.
-
TMS Therapy with Exomind
BTL Exomind delivers transcranial magnetic stimulation, a non-invasive method of stimulating targeted regions of the brain with magnetic pulses. Sessions are short and you remain awake and alert throughout. Exomind supports mental wellness and is not a substitute for psychiatric care, therapy or prescribed medication, and we will say so plainly at your consultation. Learn more about TMS therapy with Exomind.
Best for: adults seeking non-invasive support for mood and mental wellness alongside appropriate medical care.
Wellness care connects directly to conditions we treat, including urinary incontinence, back pain driven by core weakness and numbness and neuropathy with a metabolic component.
Which Wellness Treatment Is Right for You?
Start With the Question You Are Trying to Answer
These four services answer very different questions. If you are not sure where you fit, start with a consultation and we will point you at the right one rather than the most expensive one.
| Service | Best For | How It Works | Session Time | Typical Course |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Functional Medicine | Fatigue, metabolic concerns, unexplained systemic symptoms | History, targeted lab testing and a personalized lifestyle plan | Longer initial consultation, shorter follow-ups | Ongoing, reviewed as labs are repeated |
| Emsculpt Neo | Core and glute weakness, abdominal strengthening, contouring | Focused electromagnetic energy plus synchronized radiofrequency | About 30 minutes | A short series spaced days apart |
| Pelvic Floor Therapy with Emsella | Bladder control, postpartum pelvic floor weakness | Supramaximal pelvic floor contractions, seated and fully clothed | About 28 minutes | Typically twice weekly for several weeks |
| TMS Therapy with Exomind | Non-invasive support for mood and mental wellness | Targeted magnetic pulses to specific brain regions | Short sessions, awake throughout | A structured series of sessions |
Two of these pair naturally. Patients rebuilding core stability after a back episode often combine Emsculpt Neo with pelvic floor work, because the deep abdominal wall and the pelvic floor function as one unit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wellness Care
What Naples Patients Ask Before Booking
What is the difference between wellness care and your therapy department?
Therapies and advanced treatments exist to resolve pain and injury. Wellness care exists to improve how your body functions over the long term: metabolism, muscle strength, pelvic floor control and mental wellness. Many patients use both. If your main complaint is pain, start in the therapy department and we will bring wellness in if it is warranted.
Do I need to be an existing chiropractic patient to book wellness care?
No. Wellness services are open to new patients who have never been adjusted here. You will still have a consultation first so we understand your history and can confirm the service is appropriate for you. Many wellness patients later add chiropractic care, and many chiropractic patients add wellness, but neither is required.
Are the BTL wellness treatments painful?
None of them are painful. Emsculpt Neo produces strong involuntary muscle contractions with a warming sensation, which feels intense but not sore. Emsella feels like a tingling contraction while you sit fully clothed. Exomind produces a light tapping sensation on the scalp. Most patients read or talk through their sessions.
How much does wellness care cost in Naples?
Cost depends on the service and the number of sessions your plan calls for, so we quote after your consultation rather than over the phone. Device-based wellness services are generally not covered by insurance, while some functional medicine lab work may be. CareCredit financing is available. Call (239) 593-6788 to discuss your specific plan.
How soon will I notice results from wellness treatments?
Timelines differ by service. Pelvic floor patients often notice a change partway through their series. Muscle and body composition changes from Emsculpt Neo typically become apparent in the weeks after the final session as tissue responds. Functional medicine works on a longer horizon because it depends on lab-guided lifestyle change. Individual results vary.
Is Exomind a replacement for therapy or psychiatric medication?
No. Exomind is a non-invasive brain stimulation device used to support mental wellness, and it is offered alongside appropriate medical care rather than instead of it. Do not stop prescribed medication or discontinue therapy to try it. If you are in crisis, contact your physician or call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
Can I combine more than one wellness service?
Often, yes, and some combinations make clinical sense. Core strengthening with Emsculpt Neo and pelvic floor work with Emsella complement each other because the deep abdominal wall and pelvic floor function as one system. Your consultation will confirm whether combining is appropriate and how to sequence the sessions.
