What chiropractic means
Most people think a chiropractor is just a neck and back doctor. A chiropractor is actually a nerve specialist, and we work on the spine because that’s where your spinal cord and nerves live. If there’s an issue at any level of your spine, that can affect wherever those nerves go.
Our approach follows the signs that the nervous system and the X-ray show, so we don’t just adjust where it hurts and send you home. In most cases, we measure your spine on X-ray, compare it to normal, and build a plan to restore healthy alignment, curves, and discs, then re-measure to see that it’s working. Real change can take months, and we’ll be straight with you about that from day one.
How it works
1
Visit 1: chiropractic spine & nerve exam (+ 1st adjustments)
We look closely at your health history, your current condition, and we may take x-rays to see the position and condition of your vertebrae and spine. In most cases, we are able to start care on day 1.
2
Visit 2: your doctor’s report & care plan
We will walk you through your findings and recommend a care schedule built around your needs, which will include chiropractic care and possibly decompression or neuro-fitness protocols, when appropriate.
3
Care & re-exams
Adjustments, home exercises, and orthotics, with progress exams along the way so you can see results.

Family chiropractic near Sarasota, Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch
Our office is on the corner of 17th Street and Honore Avenue in Sarasota, about a mile from The Meadows, with easy on-site parking. Families come in from across Sarasota and from Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch by University Parkway or I-75.
We’re open convenient after-school hours, 3–6pm Monday through Thursday, plus Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and two Saturday mornings a month, so it’s easier to fit visits around school, practice, and work. Parents can book back-to-back visits so one trip covers the whole family.
Frequently asked questions
Why do you use X-rays in chiropractic?
We take careful observation of the position and the condition of the spine on X-ray so that we aren’t guessing with your health! We can use this to set specific goals for the position and condition of your spine, including alignment, and then re-measure to track progress. The goal is to make long-term changes, not just relieve symptoms for a day.
How long does an adjustment take?
The adjustments usually only take a couple of minutes. Your exams and progress re-checks take longer, and we let you know in advance.
Do I have to come forever?
No. Correcting a problem and maintaining your spine afterward are two separate decisions. After correction, wellness care is your choice.
Can my whole family come in?
Yes. We see newborns, kids, teens, adults, and seniors. Call to speak with our team to ask about Family Specials.
What age can my child start chiropractic?
Any age. We check babies, kids, and teens, and adjustments are adapted to their size, with gentle pressure for little ones.
Can I come in for my own care and bring the kids?
Yes. Kids are welcome during your visit, and many parents find it easiest to get checked as a family in one trip.
Do you see grandparents too?
Yes. We adapt our techniques to your bones and joints, and we use your X-rays to choose gentle approaches when there’s arthritis or bone loss.
