Chiropractic Associates of Gainesville
Chiropractic Associates of Gainesville is a chiropractic practice on SW 13th Street that has served the city since Dr. Polk opened it in the summer of 1969. The office was later taken over by Dr. Keith Richeson, then Dr. Suggs, and today the team is made up of chiropractors Dr. Matthew Cline, his brother Dr. Cooper Cline, and Dr. Matthew Richeson, along with their support staff. Care starts with a thorough examination and an accurate diagnosis, after which the team builds a plan and gives you a detailed report of findings covering what your condition is, what can be done about it, and how long results should take. Beyond chiropractic adjustments the practice offers massage therapy with four therapists on site, deep tissue Class IV laser therapy, spinal decompression, rehabilitation, and a non-surgical peripheral neuropathy program, and a physical medicine practice is located on the same premises. Adjusting techniques include Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson and Flexion-Distraction, with an Activator instrument used when appropriate. Conditions treated range from back and neck pain, sciatica, headaches and migraines to auto injuries, whiplash, sports injuries, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ and work injuries. The office is in network with many common plans such as Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Aetna and Cigna, and it accepts Medicare, personal injury, auto accident and workers compensation. Patients without insurance can discuss flexible payment plans, and families can have a customized family plan created for them. Before a first appointment you are told all the fees involved and each step of the process, and the team will check your insurance so you know your coverage in advance.
