I have been a patient of Dr. Sweeney's for over 4 years and I have to say in all honesty going to him was the best thing I ever did for MYSELF - Thank you Jacque for the referral! My issues were with my left shoulder, neck, and left side head. Not only are our head and necks areas severely compromised by computers and cell phones we still have to attend with gravity and its silent weight. My alignments keeps me healthy neck and shoulder mobility fluid, slumber deep it has downgraded my seasonal allergies - Cedar doesn't affect me at all y'all. Cervical alignment is no joke folks! It is an investment, but once you are aligned all you have to do is maintain. I was able to go a year before feeling I was due for some FABULOUS TWEEKNESS!

Dr. Sweeney is top-notch. I've seen countless orthopedic doctors over the years for chronic knee pain from running and other sports; I never quite found the pain relief I needed and resigned myself to cutting back on running and other activities. Dr. Sweeney has been a game-changer.
Melanie Martin • Jun 22, 2026
I've been a patient of Dr. Sweeney's for almost 15 years. He has made a huge difference in my physical wellbeing. I am grateful to have found him all those years ago.
T.J. Williams • Jun 4, 2026
Dr Sweeney fixed an issue I had been dealing with in my back for 10 years. I tried all sorts of things and saw a number of specialists, MRIs, did extensive PT, etc. For the first time in a decade I can sleep on my right side. I wish I would have found him sooner.
