Dr. Cristina Padilla DC, CACCP, Birthfit Coach, Acupuncture Certified
Dr. Cristina Padilla’s journey towards becoming a chiropractor began in her homeland of Puerto Rico. With a Bachelor’s in Biology and a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine, her path was rooted in science, but her heart led her to specialize in the care of women and children.
Dr. Padilla founded Thrive Family Chiropractic with a vision to provide personalized care to families in the comfort of their homes. She understands that the journey through pregnancy, birth, and parenthood can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. That's why she's dedicated her career to creating a safe, empowering space where families can thrive.
Dr. Padilla's commitment to ongoing education is evident in her impressive list of certifications and training.
She's a Webster Certified chiropractor, specializing in prenatal and postpartum care. Her certification as a Pediatric Chiropractor by the CACCP places her among an elite group of practitioners in Northeast Florida. And, as a BirthFit! Coach, she empowers women to embrace holistic wellness throughout their motherhood journey.
But, Dr. Padilla’s dedication extends beyond the walls of her practice. A champion for women's health and community well-being, she serves on the board of the Women Chiropractors non-profit organization and was honored with the Linda Atkinson scholarship for her tireless efforts.
When you choose Thrive Family Chiropractic, you're choosing a chiropractor who is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about supporting your family's journey towards optimal health and happiness.

"My daughter is always excited to get adjusted and I know it's because Dr. P has made her feel SO comfortable."
We 💗 Dr. Padilla! Dr. P cares for me and my 2 year old daughter. What I love most is her calm demeanor with my little one. My daughter is always excited to get adjusted and I know it's because Dr. P has made her feel SO comfortable. While Dr. P has helped us with acute things (like hip pain postpartum for me) we try to go regularly enough so that the adjustments can help PREVENT things, especially to help prevent sickness with my little one in "school". I can't speak highly enough about Dr. P!

Doctor Padilla has now supported and contributed with 2 successful unmedicated births of my daughters! She provides family care for both of my children. I still rely on her care postnatal and during prenatal. I can't say enough about her and I recommend her to anyone looking for amazing prenatal, postpartum..or infant/child care! We love her!

"She now also cares for my little one and my husband, and I wouldn't have it any other way!"
Dr. Cristina is a godsend to Mommas and families. She helped me prepare my body for pregnancy, helped me manage my (very big) growing belly, and has helped me in recovery from a very complicated birth. She KNOWS HER STUFF! She now also cares for my little one and my husband, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you Dr. Christina for being so kind and so helpful to our family!

Dr. Christina goes above and beyond for her patients. She spends tons of time with you, is gentle, and makes sure you leave feeling well. I trusted her with myself postpartum, with my newborn, and my husband after an injury. An amazing person, an amazing doctor, and extremely skilled in her field!
