Dr. K. Byron

Founder & Lead Practitioner, ABC Wellness


Dr. Karen Byron founded ABC Wellness on a simple conviction: that healing works best when it treats the whole person. Over a career spanning more than two decades, she has helped patients across Gainesville and Alachua County move beyond chronic pain and into lasting, vibrant health.

Her approach blends the structural precision of chiropractic care with the time-honored wisdom of acupuncture and therapeutic bodywork. Patients describe her as attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in their progress — a practitioner who listens first and treats the root cause, not just the symptom.

★★★★★
I'm beyond grateful to have found Dr. Karen again! I used to see her years ago and had been meaning to reconnect ever since. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. She has an incredible knack for understanding exactly what you need and genuinely cares about your well-being. The level of comfort and attention she provides is unmatched. If you're looking for a holistic practitioner who truly makes you feel special, Dr. Karen is the one!
★★★★★
If more stars could be given I would give a universal amount. I've been seeing Karen for about a year now. It's a testament to her that I've followed her from one location to another. Karen took the time to listen to everything and address all my body concerns. She is attentive and in tune with reading the need of your body. Even in a more personal time of loss in my life Karen went above and beyond to provide comfort to mind, body, and spirit through acupuncture. I would highly recommend any first timer — well, honestly everyone — to schedule with Karen.
★★★★★
BEST chiropractic experience EVER! I was so pleasantly surprised by Dr. Karen Byron's more holistic approach. Instead of immediately cracking cold joints, she relaxed my whole body with massage and hot rocks. Then she anointed the area that was in pain with a special cellular ointment and loosened the muscle with an interesting massage tool. I was blissed out before the chiropractic treatment even began. She was very kind, and I left feeling optimistic and well-taken care of after months of pain and discouraging re-injury.
