Scott Swanson Chiropractic

I was starting to feel like a hunchback after a few years of working in the real world… neck hurt, back hurt, couldn’t stand straight. Started coming to Dr. Swanson twice a week and in just 2 months I feel incredible! Adrienne the receptionist is also super nice and really good with fitting in appointments that meet my schedule. So glad I found these folks!!!

This review is regarding the reception. Not only were they rude and poor communicators, I was told I needed a referral to get Chiropractic care. What kind of scheme is this? No thanks, you lost a potential patient.

Dr. Swanson has seen my entire family through many car accidents, falls, scrapes, and plain old stiff and creaky joints. He is the best. Thank you for keeping our entire family movin’!

Dr. Swanson is a wonderful chiropractor, who seems to focus directly on the
area of my discomfort, then gently manipulates everything back into order.
I have always walked out of the office feeling better.
I have even gone in without an appointment, and have been graciously received, and quickly cared for. Renee, office manager, is wonderful as well, so gentle, welcoming, empathetic, and accomodating. This is a great office, and a great staff, and a
fabulous Chiropractor. He is a Best of the Bay recipient, and with good reason!

My experience with Dr. Swanson’s practice began with a call to the practice administrator, Olivia. She diligently worked on my complicated, out-​of-​state insurance situation. I was bummed to find out that my benefit wouldn’t kick in for a while, but after my first treatment, I’m more than happy to pay out-​of-​pocket. Dr. Swanson listened to my story and very quickly assessed my chronic condition. «Comprehensive» is the word that comes to mind. From ultrasound and massage to kinesiotape and a traction table, my visits to Dr. Swanson are like a full-​scale attack on my discomfort. The actual adjustment is central but only one element of my treatment. Even the exercises he sends me home with home are beginning to have a positive impact. I’m a fan.

i have seen both Dr. Swanson and Dr. Beagle (not sure of the spelling of his name?!) here and had a wonderful experience with both of them. They are both friendly and welcoming. Dr. Swanson takes the time to answer my many questions about the treatment, and is patient with my questioning. I’ve experienced relief from head/​neck pain after a only a few weeks of adjustments.

I’ve seen Dr. Swanson for a few years now. What can I say I go in because I’m in pain and I walk out at in less pain. The people in the office are great, very professional and friendly at the same time. They are great at working with my schedule, and getting me appointments that work, they do all the paperwork for my insurance. Most recently I have gone in to see Dr. Swanson because of a knee injury. I let it go way to long before dealing with it, had been in pain for a few months. From the 1^st appointment there was noticeable improvement. So what can I say, go go go

Great guy, great chiropractor, but he is gone now, moved to the East Bay. I am very sorry he left all his patients, I will miss him.

As one of his colleagues, I delight in recommending Scott to people in need. When someone needs help with a physical ailment, Scott has a broad set of tools to assess and treat them. He is straightforward, no nonsense, and results oriented. He is not only committed providing quality care, but is a devoted supporter of his community.

I came to Dr. Swanson because of some pain in my arm soft tissues. He asked me a couple of questions and sent me to take X-​rays. We started a treatment. The receptionist was super nice and friendly, and the office look professional with many certificates hanged up, but there was one thing I missed which was the basic need for explanation about the treatment or process, even just in layers man terms, but I didn’t get any, even after I asked for it a few times.
I don’t have doubts in his abilities and professionalism, I only missed the human touch, which I’m sure he has but maybe it’s just didn’t happen with me.
After coming for a couple of weeks and not getting any progression and no explanation about the treatment I decided to stop the service. And after a week I received a letter with a negative tone to it that because I stopped the treatment on my own I’m threatening my condition and he doesn’t take any responsibility for me from now on. I can understand that it might be a regular procedure doctors in America need to go through to protect themselves against suits, but for me it was pretty negative and offensive experience. I feel that the letter could be written in a more positive way.
So overall it was not a negative experience, and I’m sure he can help you with your problem, but for me, he didn’t answer my basic needs for clarity.

Dr. Swanson is a great doctor. He listens, takes his time to diagnose the problem, and then fixes it. I am a chiropractor and need a doctor that can take care of my chiropractic needs. Dr. Swanson has done a great job on my shoulder with the Graston technique and Kinesio Tape and I thank him for keeping me in practice. Kristina, the office manager, is wonderful and makes you feel welcomed. I highly recommend this office.

Great chiropractor in my neighborhood– and they take my insurance-​hurray! He has helped reduce my pain and improve my range of motion with expert adjustments, graston technique, and prescribed exercises. In combination with yoga, his treatments have greatly increased my quality of life and functionality. I’ve never had a problem with the insurance billing either, which is more than I can say for most of my health care providers. Plus he does evening appointments and there is easy, free street parking nearby. So what’s not to love?!

Having worked with Scott at the Haight Ashbury clinic, I was very excited to see him in action at his own clinic. I can see why Parkside won «Best of the Bay.» Everybody was extremely friendly and Scott is wonderfully communicative in everything he does. In terms of treatment, he knew precisely where to go to fix those problem areas. Adjustments can be a scary thing, but I felt completely comfortable in his expert hands.
I got this wonderful handout that showed the exact muscle tension per vertebrae of my spine. Love the visual! But even better of course was how wonderfully open, free and energized I felt after the treatment. I came in with some residual soreness after yoga, and it all vanished after seeing Scott. I highly recommend!

I am very stingy about my five stars, but Parkside Chiropractic deserves all five because really? For me to actually LOOK FORWARD to a doctor’s appointment is quite a feat. (Maybe that’s why I’m always early for my appointments?)
In the first visit, Dr. Swanson took the time to ask about my medical history, check out what the situation was, and suggested a treatment plan. It was all very orderly and efficient, and the treatments eliminated the wrist pains, which was what I initially went in for. Dr. Swanson is professional but still friendly and easy to talk to. I never have to worry about awkward silences during the treatments, because yes, I do worry about things like that. Don’t judge me.
Generally, the person working at the front desk sets the tone of the office, and Bettie is great at making the office feel welcoming and laid back. She is always a delight to talk to, and greets everyone personally with a genuine smile.
All in all, a pleasant experience from beginning to end!

This clinic is the best! I started coming to Dr. Swanson for back problems after wearing a leg cast and limping for a year. Dr. Swanson is a caring, kind, true professional with training in all the latest techniques. My back pain, sciatica and neck muscle tightness were all improved and alleviated through the use of his various non-​invasive and painless treatments. The Graston technique has been incredibly helpful as well as the adjustments and various other techniques. Dr. Swanson took the time to understand my problems and treat them accordingly. Bettie, in the front offiece is a joy, as well. She is accommodating, efficient and her warm smile and good sense of humor welcomes you the minute you walk into the office.
I have been seeing Dr. Swanson for almost a year and my alignment and pain levels have improved significantly! I would recommend Parkside Chiropractic to anyone who wishes to improve and maintain their health while working with a true professional! The Best!

I have been a patient of Dr Swanson since 2004. In addition to helping condiderabably with complications from whiplash, Dr Swanson has helped with ongoing lower back trouble. Dr Swanson is well trained in all forms of chiropratic medicine. Both new and old.
The Staff is kind and curious.
There is usually good parking.

Having moved to the city and needing to find a chiropractor, I was so lucky to have struck gold with Dr. Swanson. Aside from his caring demeanor, he is a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner, which means he provides «non-​invasive pain treatment related to disorders of the neck and back, including soft tissue sprains and strains» which is the source of much of my back pain.
He has been able to help me reduce the level of pain I once experienced, as well as provide me with resources and information that benefit my overall health.
I cannot forget to mention Bettie who works as Dr. Swanson’s assistant. She always provides a smile or laugh and is great in helping me get in to see Dr. Swanson.
I highly recommend visiting Parkside Chiropractic for your chiropractic needs.

not quite sure what happened. so the morning after st pattys, i woke up to EXTREME back pains. back in hs, i had a little *accident* and had to wear a back brace for a bit. after a month or so of treatments, i was in pretty good shape, enough to not pop pills all day and wear that corset looking shit.
well, i know back pains, the sunday after st pattys ranks up there. you know those back pains you cant walk straight and if you do you get shooting pains down the sides, numbness in fingers and toes. yeah. it was all that.
i went to dr swanson after reading some reviews here on Unilocal.well what do you know, his office is in the same building as abc appliance on taraval where homie misheddie works and across the street from shin toe bul yi, toms uncles joint, and right up from genes where the ‘set folks know to get subcenter sandwiches without the line.
dr swanson is years younger than i thought hed be. for some strange reason i was picturing an old graying man. ehhh.
he asked a few things, tested this and that, and after just the first treatment, i was feeling MUCH better. i could walk around regularly. of course im going to need more work done cause i still cant sit or stand or lay down in one position longer than an hour.
can easily recommend him.
oohhh and betty in the front desk is so nice. lovely lady.

Dr. Swanson is super nice and a great chiropractor. I have been very happy with my treatments. It’s always nice to visit and chat with Dr. Swanson & Bettie at the front desk.

In need of an adjustment? (No, I don’t mean an attitude adjustment — although some of us could probably use a little of that too.) I meant the kind that aligns your body, loosens up your muscles and puts you on your way to great health. If you’re in the market for a professional Chiropractor or just ready to switch up to a knowledgeable, caring one — definitely give Dr. Swanson at Parkside Chiropractic a go. I have been under his care for years and will vouch for his healing touch! And if you agree with me, please share your experience with others and let it be known. A votre sante’!
