Our Team

Why Insight Chiropractic

We discover the root causes of structural, chemical and emotional imbalances in the body through thorough examinations and by listening to you.

We care for you with compassion, a deep sympathy and concern for your wellbeing. We understand the value of a reassuring, positive vibe, so we work to keep every visit uplifting. We stay engaged, which means we listen and engage with you on each visit to improve your progress and your health outcomes. We are mindful of quality in everything we do.

Insight provides durable knowledge that you take with you and keep for life. We study both the cause of a problem and its symptoms, because together they give much greater insight. We share what we find with you, and we teach along the way.

Dr. Michael Cox founded Insight Chiropractic and owns it with Ana Cox. He treats patients alongside Dr. Christopher Fencl and Dr. Lane Odom. Between them, the doctors practice several styles of chiropractic because, as Dr. Cox says, every patient needs a different type of chiropractic. Dakota Fragoso manages the office, and Beverly Brooks, a retired registered nurse, is our chiropractic and sports medicine assistant. You will find a friendly and courteous staff and a professional but comfortable atmosphere. We also see patients who want a second evaluation or a second opinion.

The Chiropractors

Dr. Michael D. Cox, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic / Founder

He is a cum laude graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, and chiropractic is his second career. After an injury, three doctors and a chiropractor told him he would not walk unassisted again. He was a vice president at Bank of New York Mellon at the time.

He recovered in eighteen months through Tai Chi, Chi Gong, eastern rehabilitation, nutrition and exercise, then went back to school. A year of biological science, a period studying in the Peruvian Amazon, then Palmer, so he could do the same thing for other people.

Dr. Christopher Fencl, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Fencl came to chiropractic as a patient. His mother’s chronic migraines all but disappeared after a few months of care, and years as a wellness patient convinced him.

He studied at the University of Notre Dame, served seven years as a Navy submarine officer, then did graduate work in philosophy and worked in military consulting in Washington, D.C. A chiropractor there, using the AdVo and Activator Method techniques, impressed him enough to change careers. He is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida and practices upper cervical and full-spine adjusting.

Dr. Lane Odom, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic

Originally from Colquitt, Georgia, Dr. Odom grew up playing tennis and running cross country, earned a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Georgia Southwestern State University, and graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange in March 2025.

He specializes in rehabilitation and active care, and his philosophy is education over dependence: teach people to understand and care for their own bodies, so they are in control of the pain rather than the other way around. Off the clock he competes in pickleball at the advanced level.

“He was a recent graduate of chiropractic college; I preferred one with experience … I doubt I ever saw a doctor with such enthusiasm and expertise, combined. … Being pain free gave my life an entire new perspective.”

“I have had a hard time walking the past few years due to my back pain, I got an appointment with Dr. Michael, and within 3 visits, I am out and about again. I FEEL GREAT!”

L Lindsey PlylerGoogle review

“I drive for a living, and sitting in the car 12 hours a day makes my back hurt constantly … After my first visit, I had so much relief, there is no doubt in my mind I will continue to go to Insight Chiropractic.”
