Excellent care, excellent people, and definitely the best solution to help my body become pain free, and stand tall. I knew my neck was bad, but now I'm more flexible and happier after the best chiropractic care from Dr. Swank. It was the smartest thing to do to help improve my overall health.

I am completely satisfied with the care I received by Dr. Swank. As I progressed, I was given things to do on my own so that I could eventually take care of myself and prevent future problems. I like that he told me that he would refer me to a specialist if I did not quickly respond to treatment. I found Dr Swank by reading reviews on the internet. In reflection, I laugh when I read other reviews that people write that other chiropractors are "The best" etc. Clearly they haven't been to Dr Swank. Oh and the staff is warm, friendly and treats you like family.

I spent alot of time looking over review before going to Dr Swank. I loved reading "my chiropractor is the best in the triangle" type reviews of other doctors. But what led me to Swank Chiropractic was the substance in his reviews. People repeatedly stated "why" they has a good experience. So here's mine.
I received a thorough evaluation and x-rays. I was given a thorough explanation in plain language why I was having pain and what he was going to do about it. I was told everything that I could expect. I was also told that if I did not respond quickly I would be referred to another specialist.
Bottom line Dr Swank, Dr Gibson and their staff helped me. They bent over backwards to accommodate my hectic schedule and I now feel better than I had in years!
Best Chiropractor in the Triangle? Can't tell you. Could I ask for any better? Nope!

I received excellent chiropractic care in another state before moving to NC, but when I was again in need of help after shoveling snow and ice in early March I was very cautious.

I did my research and Dr. Swank and Dr. Gibson impressed me as Palmer-educated, hands-on, patient-centered chiropractors. I am very happy I was able to trust them. The results we have achieved together in a few short weeks are impressive. Others may have been able to do as much for me, but I am convinced none could have accomplished more.

Dr. Swank's office is supplemented with an excellent staff of concerned, able professionals.

It is easy for me to recommend Dr. Swank, his team, and his office.

Dr. Swank is extremely helpful and knowledgable. It was my first experience at a chiropractic office and I can't believe I hadn't gone to one before. A friend recommended I see Dr. Swank after I injured myself at work and after a few sessions I was as good as new. All the staff is very friendly and very helpful. All in all Dr. Swank runs a trustworthy and welcoming practice.

I was referred to Dr. Swank by my Orthopedic doctor with a herniated disc in my neck. This was diagnosed by MRI following 6 weeks of agony with steroids and injections. Dr Swank placed me on a spinal decompression program for 4 weeks and I am now pain free. I investigated spinal decompression prior to starting this type of treatment and discovered that it has a high rate of success. I found Dr. Swank and his staff to be warm, caring and capable. I wish I would have gone to see Dr. Swank before anyone else.

Before I knew I had a C7/T1 hernia, went to see Dr. Swank. He put me on a decompression machine which was painful and probably not right. He sold me some equipment (marked up 2x what it cost on Amazon btw.) Got visibly and inappropriately angry when I told him I had an MRI that my PCP ordered (rather than his MRI order). Glad I went back to my PCP. I cannot trust docs with anger issues, and those who have a problem with you seeing other docs that are not under his control.
