West Family Chiropractic is a chiropractic office at 2234 NW 40th Terrace in Gainesville, Florida, and the practice sums itself up on its own website as quality chiropractic in the heart of Gainesville. Its stated purpose is to educate each individual on the importance of a healthy spine and nervous system, providing the tools necessary to live a symptom-free life of full expression. The office says everyone deserves to function at their best, and that by providing quality chiropractic services in a warm and friendly environment it helps facilitate this for each and every patient. The practice describes itself as patient-driven. Two chiropractors are listed on the team page, Dr. David West and Dr. Adam Beaupre, and the site says Dr. West and associates have more than 20 years of combined experience. Chiropractic care is the foundation of the practice, using multi-modal chiropractic techniques to relieve pain, restore motion, improve circulation and nerve conduction through the spine, which the office presents as a drug-free and natural approach to health and healing that lets patients heal from within. Alongside adjustments, the office offers a broad range of health and wellness options so patients can heal, build strength and live pain-free. Those include Summus Medical Laser therapy, which the site describes as a first of its kind, FDA-cleared therapeutic treatment that manages pain and inflammation while accelerating tissue regeneration and improving circulation using photobiomodulation. Radial Pressure Wave therapy uses acoustic waves that generate oscillations in dysfunctional tissue to help reduce muscle pain, activate connective tissue, temporarily aid in the increase of blood flow and help treat tendinitis in the hips and shoulders. The Vita Light Therapy Bed combines wavelengths, mode of delivery and a whole-body treatment for relaxation, rejuvenation and better overall wellness, and the office says it can help with recovery in as little as 15 minutes. Spinal decompression therapy is offered as a non-surgical traction therapy for back or neck pain, isolating a disc under negative pressure to encourage a healing response. Soft tissue and rehabilitation options round out the menu. Graston Technique addresses scar tissue and fascial restrictions in chronic, acute or post-surgical soft tissue injuries, massage therapy enhances circulation and relieves pain, muscle spasms and stress, exercise rehabilitation restores strength, flexibility, endurance and power after injury, and Kinesio taping supports muscles and joints without restricting range of motion. The office is open Monday from 8:00am to 12:00pm and 2:00pm to 5:30pm, Tuesday from 2:00pm to 5:30pm, Wednesday from 8:00am to 12:00pm and 2:00pm to 5:30pm, Thursday from 2:00pm to 5:30pm, and Friday from 8:00am to 12:00pm, and it is closed Saturday and Sunday. Appointments can be requested through the form on the practice website by sending basic information along with a preferred day and time, and the office says it will call to confirm availability.
