Meet Dr. Beach

Hello,

My name is Dr. Raymond Beach, DC. I am a chiropractor at the BodyWorx Health and Wellness Center located here in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

My journey to become a chiropractor all started when I was 15 years old. I didn’t realize at that time that it would become my life's passion, but it was my first time in my life that I would experience the great wonders of chiropractic care. I had decided to play football in High School for the first time in my life. I wasn’t very big and I learned what a contact sport really felt like. In all honesty I took some serious beatings but stood strong outwardly to impress my new friends on the team. In all honesty, my body was in a lot of pain. Copious amounts of Tylenol, heat, ice, rest, etc. was all I could do to keep on going. A new friend of mine on the team mentioned that there was a chiropractor in town that offered free care to student athletes. Free was good for me and I was willing to try anything to get out of the pain. Our coach would actually make fun of us for going to a chiropractor at that time. After my first adjustment I felt a lot better. I kept ongoing care throughout the season and noticed that I not only had little to no pain, but that I was also performing better and had more energy. One day as I was in the reception area of the chiropractic office, I picked up a Looseleaf binder book that was titled, “Testimonials”. It was a thick book and patient after patient wrote of the many amazing things that chiropractic care had done for them. At that point I decided that I wanted to help people in the same way. I applied to Life College, School of Chiropractic, now Life University located in Marietta, Georgia. There were quite a number of other schools, but having braved through NY winters through Undergrad, I decided that I was ready for a warmer climate for my next 4 years of schooling. 

I graduated from Life College in June of 1993and became board certified in that same year. With over 30 years of experience caring for many people, I have developed a system of gentle, low-force spinal adjustments that frees up stiff spinal joints. As the spine gets more limber and healthier, proper stretching and strengthening of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments is added to the care plan at the appropriate timing to allow for the best results. In regard to getting the best results, the realization came that patients needed nutritional support. Aiding people in healthy weight loss, system reset programs, kicking sugar addictions, as well as reducing inflammation have been added to the services. I have found that this well rounded holistic approach has gotten the greatest results in all the years in chiropractic. I have learned to listen closely to my patients' needs in order to get them the greatest results possible.

I enjoy seeing the best results possible in the office. I also enjoy seeing results in my own life and health. Without optimal health, life just cannot be enjoyed to the fullest! Being able to perform in the office, to swim, work out, train on the heavy bag, fish, hike and to enjoy the beauty of God’s given creation with family and friends is my life of health! Come join me and let me be a part of your journey staying healthy or getting yourself back into a healthy body so you too can enjoy life once again!
