Madeline Pinter is a Wellness Coordinator at Ocala

Personal Chiropractic Care:

My journey with chiropractic care began at the age of 15 when I had my first adjustment. Since then, I've made it a priority to get adjusted twice a week. The experience sparked my curiosity, and I've learned so much about the benefits of chiropractic care. My favorite part of being adjusted is the wide range of benefits it brings, like relief from allergies, better sleep, and fewer headaches or migraines. I hope everyone who visits our clinics experiences the same relief, care, and wellness that I have!

Why I Chose The Joint Chiropractic Gainesville:

I chose The Joint Chiropractic in Gainesville because I’m passionate about making chiropractic care accessible to everyone. When I was 15, a single visit to my chiropractor cost over $100! Discovering The Joint Chiropractic’s affordable plans made me realize this was the perfect place for me. I believe everyone deserves access to chiropractic care, regardless of their circumstances. I was also drawn to The Joint because of the diverse range of doctors, many of whom have practiced in different states or even around the world. Here, the doctors not only provide excellent care but also foster a warm, supportive environment. I’ve loved becoming a part of The Joint Chiropractic family and am grateful for the opportunity!

About Me:

I’m a Gainesville, Florida native and a die-hard Gator football fan! My favorite time of year is fall, especially September through November, because of football season and holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving. When I’m not at The Joint or enjoying a day off, you’ll likely find me at Walt Disney World—I have annual passes and love spending time there with my family. My favorite ride is Guardians of the Galaxy because I’m a huge Marvel fan! Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in elementary education and hope to one day teach at the elementary school I attended as a child. I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever named Maximus, after the horse in Rapunzel, but we just call him Max. Feel free to ask me about him—I love talking about my dog! I’ve been with The Joint Chiropractic for a year now, and I’m excited to continue my journey here and meet more of you!
