Dr. Michael Gaitonde has over 20 years of experience supporting families through chiropractic care. Certified in the Webster Technique and experienced in pediatric and prenatal care, he leads with wisdom, empathy, and a strong belief in the body’s ability to heal. ----- Dr. Michael Gaitonde is a family wellness chiropractor with over two decades of experience serving young families, expectant mothers, and children. After earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 2000, he began his career in Australia before returning to the U.S. to open Lighthouse Chiropractic in Gainesville, Virginia. Certified in the Webster Technique, Dr. Michael specializes in prenatal and pediatric care—supporting mothers through pregnancy and helping little ones thrive from the start. His approach combines gentle spinal adjustments with reflexology, movement, and nutritional support to help the body heal and function as God designed it to. Over the years, he’s walked alongside families navigating everything from colic, reflux, and ear infections to anxiety, sensory challenges, and chronic fatigue. Dr. Michael believes that healing begins by removing the root cause, not just treating symptoms. His goal is to empower moms—the heart of the home—to make confident, natural choices for their family’s health. Every visit is grounded in care, respect, and faith, reflecting the truth that each person is uniquely created and capable of full wellness. Outside the clinic, Dr. Michael enjoys spending time with his wife, Emily, and their three children. As a family, they travel internationally to share the love of Christ and provide healing to underserved communities. This mission-minded approach shapes not only his work, but also the greater vision behind Lighthouse Chiropractic—to bring hope, healing, and holistic care to families at every stage of life.
