Dr. Rick Haines, Chiropractor
After growing up in Tallahassee, Dr. Rick Haines made the move south to Gainesville to attend the University of Florida. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree and completed his Internship at North Carolina Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, NC. He spent the next four years completing his Chiropractic Education at Sherman College in Spartanburg, SC. Four months after graduation, he moved back to Florida and began practicing chiropractic.
Dr. Haines was introduced to Chiropractic while he was completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida. During his sophomore year, he began to suffer from debilitating migraine headaches. After going from one medical doctor to another and trying several prescription medications, he was still having a migraine every two weeks. Luckily, Dr. Haines had a persistent roommate whose father was a chiropractor. Having never been to a chiropractor before, Dr. Haines was reluctant to go. Dr. Haines was finally convinced to make an appointment. He completed his recommended plan of care and hasn’t suffered from migraines since. In fact, he walked away so impressed with chiropractic care that he chose to make it his own career path.
Currently, Dr. Haines practices Chiropractic in Gainesville where he enjoys attending Gator football and basketball games. Weekends usually find him engaging in any of numerous outdoor activities, including fishing, vegetable gardening, hiking, running or cycling. Along with a good diet and frequent exercise, Dr. Haines maintains good health through regular chiropractic care.

She was treated with conservative chiropractic care and has completely recovered from her injury.

Diana, Front Desk
Diana is the smiling face at our Front Desk and she will likely be the one that takes your call to schedule your appointment. She is a long time Gainesville resident and worked at UF with Graduate and International Students for years before retiring. We were lucky enough to convince her to re-enter the workforce and join our team here at AHC! She has been an advocate of Chiropractic for more than 35 years and was one of our very first patients when we hung out our shingle back in 2008.
Diana enjoys reading, journaling and hopes to someday complete the novel she’s been writing for more years than she cares to remember.
