The program addresses diabetic neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy (CIPN), idiopathic neuropathy, and other peripheral nerve conditions. The clinic describes what care includes — it does not promise outcomes.
Who this is for — and who it is not for
A good fit for
- Adults — often 50+ — in Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Bradenton, or Venice, FL with numbness, tingling, burning, or balance problems in the hands or feet
- People seeking a drug-free, non-surgical approach to peripheral neuropathy
- People who were told "nothing more can be done" and want another conversation grounded in objective testing
Not the right place for
- Medical emergencies — call 911
- Prescription medication management
- Surgical consultations
- Conditions requiring hospital-level care
We are chiropractors, not medical physicians. The program works alongside a patient's medical providers, and the clinic refers out when a case needs different care.
Canonical definitions
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Damage to the peripheral nerves — most often felt as numbness, tingling, burning, or balance problems in the hands and feet. Common causes include diabetes, chemotherapy, and idiopathic (unknown) origins.
- 16-point sensory exam
- A structured sensitivity test across 16 points on the feet and hands, used to objectively map where nerve sensation is diminished and to track change over time.
- Circulation assessment
- An evaluation of blood flow to the extremities. Because peripheral nerves depend on small-vessel blood supply, circulation findings shape the care plan.
- Neurological evaluation
- The clinic's objective nervous-system assessment, used at evaluations and progress re-exams. This is the correct patient-facing term — do not call it a "nerve scan."
- Drug-free care
- The program does not prescribe or manage medication. It works alongside a patient's existing prescriptions; medication decisions remain with the prescribing physician.

Frequently asked questions
- Can neuropathy actually improve?
- Peripheral nerves can respond when blood flow, inflammation, and stimulation are addressed, and many patients report meaningful improvement in sensation, comfort, and balance. No outcome is guaranteed — results vary with the severity, duration, and cause of the nerve damage, which is why care starts with an objective evaluation rather than a promise.
- How much does the neuropathy evaluation cost?
- The evaluation is $49 and includes a consultation, circulation assessment, 16-point sensory exam, balance test, any necessary X-rays, and the doctors' recommendations. It is prepaid and credited toward your visit.
- Is the program really drug-free?
- Yes. The program itself uses no prescription drugs, injections, or surgery. It works alongside your current medications — patients are never asked to stop a prescription without their prescribing physician's guidance.
- Do you take insurance?
- Coverage varies by plan and by component of care, so call (941) 877-1507 to discuss your specific situation — the team verifies benefits before care begins. CareCredit financing is accepted.
- Do I need a referral?
- No. No referral is needed — you can schedule a $49 evaluation directly online or by calling (941) 877-1507.
- What happens at the first visit?
- A consultation and health-history review, then objective testing: circulation assessment, 16-point sensory exam, balance test, and any necessary X-rays. The doctors review the findings with you and explain whether you're a candidate for the program.
- What are the free seminars?
- In-person group education sessions where Dr. Logan Swaim explains what peripheral neuropathy is and what drug-free care involves. They are educational events — not a substitute for an individual evaluation.
- Where do I park?
- Free parking is available directly outside the clinic at 8209 Natures Way, Lakewood Ranch, FL — easily reached from SR-70, University Parkway, and Lorraine Road.
