Chiropractic Care that Goes Beyond the Spine
At Seaside Chiropractic, we specialize in full-body care, not just backs and necks.
Dr. Jesse Suess’s background in sports chiropractic enables us to treat muscles, joints, and nerves from head to toe.
Whether you're dealing with shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, hip tightness, or a stubborn knee issue, our hands-on, whole-body approach helps you heal faster and move better, so you can get back to doing what you love!
Our Services
Sports Chiropractic
Dr. Jesse Suess is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician® with post-doctoral training in Active Release Techniques®, DNS, and movement-based assessment.
Blending a “traditional” chiropractic adjustment with cutting-edge manual therapy and soft-tissue care.
Gentle Chiropractic Care
Drs. Merritt, Joel, and McCormick specialize in Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), a gentle, full-body chiropractic method that restores balance between the spine and skull.
This low-force approach offers effective results without the twisting or “cracking” often associated with traditional adjustments.
Active Release Technique®
Active Release Techniques® (ART) is the gold standard in soft-tissue therapy for treating injuries related to muscle tension, scar tissue, and overuse.
Patients often describe it as a “combination of deep tissue massage and a good stretch.”
Massage Therapy
Our licensed massage therapist blends techniques like trigger point therapy, neuromuscular work, deep tissue, and Thai-on-table massage to relieve tension, improve circulation, and support injury recovery.
Each session is customized—whether you're looking to relax or reset your movement.
Shockwave (Radial Pressure Wave)
Radial Pressure Wave Therapy — also known as Shockwave — uses targeted acoustic waves to break up scar tissue, increase circulation, and stimulate long-term healing.
It's especially effective for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis, calcific tendinitis, tennis elbow, and stubborn soft-tissue injuries that haven’t responded to other care.
Laser Therapy
We use the 25-watt Chattanooga® High-Power Laser to reduce pain, accelerate healing, and improve soft-tissue recovery — all without medication or downtime.
This form of photobiomodulation increases cellular energy, boosts circulation, and is especially effective for nerve pain, inflammation, and tissue repair.
Who We Are.
We’re not just a team, we’re a family of families.
And like many families in the Keys, we came here for the sunshine, but stayed for the sense of purpose.
At Seaside Chiropractic, each of us brings something unique to the table — but we’re united by a Shared Mission: to provide safe, effective, and personalized conservative care to locals, snowbirds, and visitors alike.
Whether you're a full-time resident, a seasonal returner, or just passing through paradise, our goal is to help you move better, feel better, and live a fuller life — without relying on drugs or surgery.
Dr. Suess is our go-to for sports injuries and performance care. With a deep background in rehab, movement analysis, and hands-on techniques like ART® and DNS, he’s passionate about helping athletes (and weekend warriors) stay strong, pain-free, and doing what they love.
Drs. Merritt, Joel, McCormick, and Lu specialize in family-centered chiropractic using gentle techniques like SOT — a low-force approach that supports the nervous system without the traditional cracking or twisting. Whether it’s a pregnant mama, a newborn, or someone who’s just a little nervous about getting adjusted, they create a calm and compassionate space for healing.
And Fabiola, our massage therapist, rounds out the team with therapeutic bodywork that blends deep tissue, trigger point, sports massage, cupping, and more — all tailored to each person’s body and goals.
Together, we serve the islands we call home. With treatment locations in both Key Largo and Ocean Reef, we pride ourselves on serving the entire Upper Keys Community with expert-level conservative care.
