What we do

  • Neuropathy evaluation & testing

    Consultation, circulation assessment, 16-point sensory exam, balance test, any necessary X-rays, and doctors' recommendations.

    $49 evaluation

  • The Roots Neuropathy Program

    A multi-modal, drug-free protocol addressing blood flow, inflammation, and nerve stimulation — tailored per case after evaluation.

    Quoted after evaluation

  • Red light therapy for neuropathy

    Light-based sessions supporting circulation and cellular energy as part of the program.

    Included per plan

  • Balance testing & training

    Objective balance assessment and training for patients whose neuropathy affects steadiness and fall risk.

    Included per plan

  • Free neuropathy seminars

    In-person education sessions with Dr. Logan Swaim — a group event for learning, not a 1-on-1 consultation.

    Free

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.
