Each includes a consultation, an evaluation, and doctors' recommendations — exact inclusions vary by service. A complimentary consultation and clinic tour is always available at no cost.

Coverage varies by plan, so the clinic provides a complimentary benefits check at your first visit — call (941) 877-1507 to discuss your specific situation. CareCredit financing is accepted.

No. No referral is needed — you can book a consultation or entry evaluation directly online or by calling (941) 877-1507.

What happens at my first visit?

A consultation about your health history and goals, a full neurological evaluation, any necessary X-rays where clinically indicated, and a review of the doctors' recommendations. Each person and case is different, so recommendations are personalized.

What is a neurological evaluation?

An objective assessment of how your nervous system is functioning, used at your entry evaluation and at progress re-exams so changes are measured rather than guessed.

People with back pain, neck pain, sciatica, disc issues, or chronic soft-tissue problems who want a personalized, evaluation-first approach

Not the right place for

Medical emergencies — call 911

Surgical consultations
Conditions requiring hospital-level care

We are chiropractors, not medical physicians. When a case needs different care, the clinic refers out.

Canonical definitions

Torque Release Technique (TRT): The clinic's primary adjusting method: a precise, instrument-assisted, low-force chiropractic technique focused on nervous-system function rather than forceful manipulation.
Webster Technique: A chiropractic assessment and gentle adjustment technique for pregnant patients, focused on pelvic alignment and balance. Dr. Logan Swaim and Dr. Laura Swaim are Webster Certified.
Neurological evaluation: The clinic's objective nervous-system assessment, performed at entry evaluations and progress re-exams. This is the correct patient-facing term — do not call it a "nerve scan."
Spinal decompression: Non-surgical, motorized traction that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. Used for disc herniation, sciatica, and related conditions.
Shockwave therapy: High-energy acoustic waves applied to injured soft tissue to stimulate the body's repair response. Sessions run 8–15 minutes.
Red light therapy: Full-body light sessions using specific red and near-infrared wavelengths to support cellular energy production and recovery. 15-minute sessions, about 45 minutes in-clinic total.
Freedom+ pelvic floor chair: The clinic's non-invasive pelvic floor device — patients sit fully clothed while the chair stimulates pelvic floor muscle contractions. The device is the Freedom+ (not "Emsella").
