Dr. Carl Conforti has been a licensed Chiropractor since May 1999. For many years, he served patients at our Oldsmar location before recently passing the baton to Dr. Michael Turner. While his focus was always on promoting lasting health and well-being through a “whole person approach” — blending spinal corrective care, hands-on techniques, and high-quality natural supplements — Dr. Conforti has since stepped into a broader leadership role.
Today, he works closely with our teams across Trinity, Clearwater, South Tampa, Brandon, and Wesley Chapel, guiding our clinics and doctors to deliver consistent, comprehensive spinal care and whole-body wellness. His leadership ensures that the same dedication and standard of care he was known for in practice are carried through every office.

At 16, I saw how chiropractic care transformed my mother's life, relieving her chronic migraines and ulcerative colitis after years of failed treatments. Inspired by her healing, I became a chiropractor to help others achieve better health. Since graduating from Life University in 1996, I’ve been practicing in Clearwater, Florida, focusing on a holistic approach to care. I provide gentle chiropractic adjustments and guide patients on exercise, nutrition, and mindset to help them live pain-free and reach their full potential.
“The human body’s ability to heal is truly remarkable. It fuels my passion to help others every day.” – Dr. Mike Risoldi
The Story of Champion Wellness
Every great movement begins with a story — and for Dr. Carl Conforti and Dr. Mike Risoldi, that story started long before the name Champion Wellness was ever imagined.
For Dr. Conforti, a proud graduate of the University of Florida and Life University, chiropractic care was never just about relieving pain, it was about restoring lives. Since becoming a licensed chiropractor in 1999, he has dedicated his career to helping people achieve lasting health through a whole-person approach: blending spinal corrective care and hands-on healing to promote lifelong wellness.
Dr. Risoldi, a graduate of Montclair State University and Life University, found his calling at age 16 when chiropractic care transformed his mother’s life — freeing her from years of chronic migraines and ulcerative colitis after a traumatic car accident. Witnessing her healing inspired his mission to help others experience the same freedom. Since 1996, he’s served the Clearwater community with gentle chiropractic care, guiding patients in exercise, nutrition, and mindset to help them live pain-free and reach their fullest potential.
Their paths crossed through a shared vision and a shared opportunity that would forever change their lives.
In 2016, both doctors were invited to attend and assist athletes at the Rio Olympics, an experience that redefined their understanding of human potential. Surrounded by the world’s best, they saw firsthand how resilience, healing, and determination could transform ordinary people into champions. They listened to stories of athletes who had once been told “you’ll never compete again” and yet there they were, standing on the world’s biggest stage, proving that the human spirit knows no limits.
It was there, in Rio, that the idea for Champion Wellness was born.
They realized that being a “champion” isn’t reserved for Olympic athletes. It’s a mindset; a commitment to becoming the best version of yourself, no matter where you start. For the weekend warriors chasing their next goal, the parents wanting to set a healthy example, and children just beginning their journey — Champion Wellness was created for them.
Today, Dr. Conforti and Dr. Risoldi lead teams across the Tampa Bay area, empowering patients to take charge of their health and live like champions — in body, mind, and spirit.
Because at Champion Wellness, everyone has the power to become a champion — starting from within.
