Biography

Dr. Fotis Antikidis or “Frank” as he is called by many of his patients, brings over two decades of expertise to his office, originally from Piraeus and Chicago, USA. He graduated with a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine from the National University of Health Sciences, Chicago USA, and honed his skills at the Chicago General Health Center during his graduation.

Committed to excellence, Dr. Fotis has collaborated with leading physicians and athletes in orthopedics, sports medicine, neurology and radiology. He has expanded his knowledge through postgraduate studies in sports injuries and advanced musculoskeletal rehabilitation, including Functional Neurology from the renowned Carrick Institute of Neurology, USA.

In 2003, Dr. Fotis Antikidis founded Elixir Wellness Center with Dr. Monica Talebnia, creating a center for patients of all ages seeking relief from musculoskeletal pain. Their mission was clear: to restore patients to optimal health quickly and effectively, using cutting-edge orthopedic and chiropractic techniques.

Specializing in the treatment of disc disease and sciatica, Dr. Fotis Antikidis uses the special Chiropractic treatment of flexion/distraction and decompression of the spine, also known as the Cox Flexion/Distraction technique, incorporating the latest technologies for maximum effectiveness. Certified in sports injuries, he creates personalized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each athlete, based on his experience as a Chiropractor of various sports bodies.

Dr. Monica Talebnia is a Chiropractor and Acupuncturist with a Doctorate in Chiropractic and a Master’s in Biology. As a therapist with numerous functional medicine certifications, she has performed over 15,000 healing sessions on individuals and families in the U.S., Cyprus, and now Greece—combining physical expertise with mental clarity.

Her clinical expertise includes a wide range of chiropractic and acupuncture techniques. She utilizes Flexion Distraction, Diversified, Mechanical Spinal Adjustment, Drop-Table, and Spinal Decompression techniques to restore spinal integrity, reduce pain, and improve function. Her approach to acupuncture is based on both Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Five Elements system, helping to regulate energy flow, balance organs, and support emotional harmony.

What sets Dr. Monica apart is her unique ability to decode the body’s deepest signals. Within minutes, she can assess spinal dysfunction, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional or energetic imbalances. Her method bridges the structure with the spirit—centered on the spine as the healing point—and combines clinical precision with intuitive analysis to uncover the true source of imbalance and restore coherence to the nervous system.

Her work is not about temporary solutions. It aims to restore inner alignment, connect with one’s inner compass, and return to harmony—so that people can build a life based on clarity, connection, and purpose.

Dr. Monica has been featured on WGN9 Medical Watch and in international media for her work in the fields of weight loss, structural care, and energy medicine.

She currently lives and works in Greece with her husband, Dr. Fotis Antikidis, and their two children, Noah and Sophia. Together, they offer a deeply integrated approach to healing for individuals and families seeking long-term transformation—not just symptom relief.

Outside of the office, she enjoys yoga, exercise, reading, nature, good food, travel, and time with friends, family, and the local community—finding joy in the everyday and remaining curious about the human experience.
