Third-generation Jacksonville chiropractor
A third-generation Jacksonville chiropractor, Dr. Riley helps patients recover from acute and chronic pain through hands-on care and active rehab. He is a certified DOT medical examiner, bringing modern rehab to the family's four decades of conservative care.
Most of the people who walk through our door are not chiropractic regulars. They are office workers who slept wrong, parents who picked up a toddler the wrong way, athletes mid-season, and folks who were rear-ended on I-95 yesterday afternoon.
From sit-all-day stiffness to acute disc flare-ups. Most patients feel meaningful change inside two to four visits.
Forward-head posture, sleeping on a bad pillow, or post-MVA whiplash. Often paired with shoulder tension and headaches.
Cervicogenic headaches respond particularly well to upper-cervical work and soft-tissue release of the suboccipitals.
Radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling. We often pair adjustments with spinal decompression for disc-related cases.
Runners, weekend cyclists, golfers, high-school athletes. Dr. Riley pairs hands-on care with active rehab to get you back in the game.
We document thoroughly, communicate with your attorney or adjuster, and design a recovery plan that does not drag on.
Gentle techniques and supported positioning for low back, hip, and pelvic discomfort through every trimester.
Light, careful, age-appropriate work for growth-related complaints, sports stress, and sleep posture issues.
Rotator cuff irritation, frozen shoulder, and upper-thoracic involvement — common in desk workers and overhead athletes alike.
Repetitive strain and nerve entrapment in the wrist and forearm. Often linked to upper-cervical nerve root compression we can address at the source.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, IT band tightness, and hip imbalances that get blamed on the knee when the problem starts higher up.
Radial pressure wave and soft-tissue work for stubborn heel pain. Often resolves cases that have not responded to rest alone.
Every patient gets a real exam, real listening, and a plan that explains itself. The tools below are not a menu — they are the kit we draw from once we understand what is actually going on.
Diversified manual technique, drop-table, and gentler instrument-assisted work for sensitive cases. We match the technique to the patient, not the patient to the technique.
Computer-controlled, motorized traction designed to take pressure off compressed discs in the lumbar and cervical spine. Comfortable, quiet sessions of fifteen to twenty minutes — often the difference between conservative care and surgery.
Low-level laser used to support tissue healing in inflamed tendons, ligaments, and joints. Painless, no heat, and often layered on top of manual care to speed recovery.
Thorough documentation, clear communication with your attorney or adjuster, and a recovery plan that does not drag on. Decades of experience getting Jacksonville drivers back to normal.
Light, careful, age-appropriate work from newborns to teens, plus gentle, supported care through every trimester. Dr. April's special focus for over forty years.
Dr. Riley is a certified DOT medical examiner. Commercial drivers can complete their federal physical right here, without an extra trip across town.
Short, specific exercises you can do at the kitchen counter. We would rather give you four moves you will actually do than fourteen you will not.
"We will tell you the truth about what your spine needs — and just as honestly, when you do not need to come back."
— Dr. Daniel Dodd"For more than forty years, one Jacksonville family has answered the same question, one patient at a time: how do we get you back to your life?"

No mystery. No "let's see how it goes." Here is exactly what happens, in order, on the day you walk in.
Download the new-patient packet ahead of time or fill it out in the waiting room. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID.
The doctor sits down with you. We listen first. What hurts, when, how long, what you have already tried, and what you actually need to be able to do.
Orthopedic, neurologic, and range-of-motion tests. If imaging is needed, we will order it; if not, we will tell you that too.
You will leave with a clear plan, an estimate, and an answer to "how long until I feel better." No fourteen-page packets, no high-pressure sales.
Most new patients get their first adjustment the same day. If today is not the right day for treatment, that is fine — we will reschedule, no charge.
We verify your benefits before your first appointment so the front-desk conversation is short and there are no surprises on visit two.
We publish a flat new-patient exam fee and a flat per-visit adjustment fee. We do not require pre-paid care plans. We do not bundle. If a tool is not going to help you, we will not bill you for it.
CareCredit is accepted for larger treatment plans. Internal payment arrangements are available for established patients who need them — just ask.

More than 300 five-star reviews across 367 ratings, with patient relationships spanning four decades. The notes below reflect common themes from public Google and Birdeye reviews.
Dr. Dan talks you through every single step of the process — you never feel rushed and you always understand exactly what is happening to your back.
Dr. Dan and Dr. April have treated my lower back problems for years, and I firmly believe their care is what has kept me out of surgery.
Dr. Riley is incredibly knowledgeable. He has helped me with everything from chronic back pain to sciatica, and the whole staff is so friendly.
Three generations of my family have trusted the Dodds. They treat you like a neighbor, not a number — which is exactly why we have stayed for decades.
If the question on your mind is not here, just call us — we would rather answer it now than have you guess.
Most new patients notice a meaningful change inside two to four visits. Chronic, long-standing issues take longer — we will give you an honest read after the first exam, not a generic 24-visit plan.
A massage works on muscle and soft tissue. An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement of a specific joint to restore motion and reduce nerve irritation. Both have a place; we often use them in the same visit.
Yes — when done by a chiropractor trained to work on kids. Pediatric adjustments are remarkably gentle, often nothing more than fingertip pressure. Dr. April has made women's and pediatric care her focus for over forty years.
It depends on what is wrong and how long it has been wrong. We do not sell prepaid packages. After your exam we will recommend a plan with a clear end-point, and we will revisit it together as you progress.
No. Chiropractors are primary-contact providers in Florida. You can call us directly, no referral required.
Tell us why on the phone. There are dozens of techniques — if a high-velocity adjustment is not for you, there are gentler options that work just as well for many conditions.
Most patients describe the sound (the audible 'pop') as more startling than the sensation. The adjustment itself is quick and usually relieving. We will not surprise you — every movement is explained before it happens.
Tell us a few details and we will call you back the same business day to confirm a time. If today is urgent, please pick up the phone instead.
