On Thursday, September 12th, 2024, a ribbon cutting ceremony marked the official grand opening of Amazing Spine Care’s first South Florida location, signaling the launch of its seventh Florida-based office branching out from its established offices in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Orange Park. The event also signified the rebranding of Amunategui Chiropractic Care, the family-owned mainstay in Hallandale Beach known for demonstrating best practices in the preventive medical industry for over 50 years. The Amazing Spine Care team recently moved into Amunategui Chiropractic Care’s medical office located at 1025 East Hallandale Beach Boulevard, which has served as the headquarters for Dr. Joseph Amunategui II’s popular practice for the past 30 years. This new chapter for Dr. Amunategui, inarguably one Hallandale Beach’s most respected community pillars, offers a wealth of developmental opportunities Amazing Spine Care and Dr. Alan Khiger, the practice’s President and Founder whom is still a full time Chiropractic Physician. Armed with a local foundation of supporters, Dr. Khiger and his staff are uniquely positioned to maneuver the city’s international landscape and broad population of patients in dire need of relief from chronic back pain, debilitating Arthritis, critical injuries, and pre-existing conditions.
“We are honored and humbled to join forces with Dr. Joseph Amunategui and his dedicated team– especially given the esteemed reputation of his Hallandale Beach practice and exceptional medical standards upheld over the decades,” stated Denisse Garcia, Marketing Director for Amazing Spine Care. “Integrating into such a fantastic and phenomenal growing community is a privilege, and we hope to grow with it and become assets to the locals for all of their needs.”
Patients seeking proactive pain relief solutions instead of strong painkillers or complex surgical procedures should look no further than Amazing Spine Care. Practitioners are trained to introduce patients to alternative methods that not only manage daily pain, but treat immobility to promote physical strength and ultimate recovery.

While treating thousands of loyal patients throughout the duration of his career, Dr. Amunategui leads and participates in countless charitable endeavors and community service initiatives. Due to his relentless benevolence and volunteerism over the decades, the Hallandale Beach Mayor proclaimed January 19, 2008 as “Dr. Joseph Amunategui II Day.” A graduate of Life University’s Doctor of Chiropractic degree program, his extensive catalog of scholarly healthcare articles has established Dr. Amunategui as a respected thought leader in his profession.

Forecasting the Future of Amazing Spine Care

Khiger and Amunategui express the value of the community partnerships that have made their merger a seamless success. They enthusiastically look forward to embarking on this new chapter together and express high hopes for 2025. “We’re here to help as many people as possible and give our patients the appropriate care they deserve,” Garcia assured. “We’re focused on creating easy access to care for people of all ages and reserve a special place in our hearts for infant care. We encourage potential clients to reach out to us for a same-day appointment, with the assurance of knowing that their requests will be immediately addressed.
