Founder CEO of Gratitude Chiropractic

Dr. Jude Alcide, DC is a board-certified Chiropractic physician in Fort Lauderdale Florida. He is the practicing Director of Chiropractic Medicine at Gratitude Chiropractic in the Fort Lauderdale area, as well as the founder of Gratitude Chiropractic, a company that brings premium chiropractic care to ALL.

Helping the underserved has a special place in Dr. Jude’s heart. It was through God’s grace his parents safely emigrated from Haiti with little money in their pockets and speaking no English to be blessed with 3 high-achieving professionals as their children.

During Dr. Jude’s freshman year of high school, Dr. Jude suffered a compression fracture in his thoracic spine from a bad football tackle. His sports career was over, but he developed an interest in Physical Therapy and the capabilities of the human body.

Dr. Jude earned double degrees in Physical Therapy at Indian River State College and Athletic Training at the University of Florida. Upon graduation, he practiced Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine in skilled-nursing facilities and at UF’s Student Health Care Center.

He vividly remembers the moment his passion for Chiropractic Medicine began. It was 2012 and a PT patient of his, who suffered from chronic low back pain, had gone away for the summer. When she returned, her pain was gone. As it turns out, she had seen a chiropractor. Dr. Jude had to know more.

A few years later, he graduated from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic, and later completed his post-graduate training with Functional Medicine University. He also had the pleasure of teaching Anatomy and Physiology and Prevention and Care of Athletic Injuries as an adjunct faculty member at University of Florida’s College of Health and Human Performance, as well as advising and mentoring students.

Dr. Jude takes a holistic approach when consulting with patients, and understands that symptoms are often an indication of other issues within the body that need attention and care.

His knowledge of human anatomy from his background in PT combined with his functional medicine training equip him with an integrated and all-encompassing perspective that few other chiropractors possess.

Dr. Jude is active in the South Florida community and also passionate about broadening his understanding of ALL cultures. He loves music, traveling, reading, spending time with his wife and daughter, and any activity outside that lets him take in the beauty and peace of nature.
