Be Healthy Chiropractic in downtown Daytona Beach is in its fifth year in business — and for Dr. Jesus Ortiz, the last year has been a celebration of growth.
Ortiz relocated his office to 101 S. Palmetto Ave., Suite 1, in April 2025. When he first opened his business, Be Healthy Chiropractic started like many other new business: they started small. But Ortiz knew eventually they would need more space to fulfill his vision.
"We grew to the point that we needed to find something bigger," Ortiz said. "We found this place and it's been a blessing for us. We've been able to do what we wanted to do."
Moving to larger location has allowed Ortiz to expand his office's services beyond chiropractic care. Today, Be Healthy Chiropractic offers sports physicals, treatment and rehab for sports injuries, auto accident care and cold laser therapy.
Ortiz, a native of Puerto Rico, holds a bachelor's degree in athletic training and a master's degree in public health. Becoming a chiropractor, he said, allowed him to combine what he learned from both degrees.
But chiropractic care, he found, wasn't as prominent in Puerto Rico. That's what prompted him moved to Florida to study at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
Ortiz has now been a chiropractor for 11 years, and he hopes to continue to expand his business. For the last six months, he's been working to develop the sports rehab and performance side of his practice, including setting up a partnership with a basketball youth programs based in Kissimmee.
"With sports, we're having a lot of kids now that they ... start having issues with the way that they're moving, because they're young and they have a big bulk of training," Ortiz said. "So we've had to fix movement patterns. We're doing that a lot."
The best piece of advise he's ever gotten? To love what you do for work.
"When you love what you do, you're not really working," Ortiz said.
