Vicki Swanson, D.C

Specialties

I have been in practice for 30 years providing massage and Chiropractic treatments.

My style of work is Sacral-​Occipital Technique, similar to cranio-​sacral, using cranial adjustments to enhance regular adjusting. I use the activator, a tool for gentlier adjusting and a drop table that is superb in adsorbing impact and making the adjustment seamlessly easy for patient and doctor. One other specialty is infants and children, which I did post-​graduate seminars in. I believe in thorough history taking and examinations prior to treating so I know exactly what is needed even on the first visit. I can send you out for X-​rays and MRI’s if required. My passion is helping people achieve optimum health through, adjustments, nutrition and stretching exercises.

History

Established in 1988.

I was working for Dr. Gibson as an assistant during 1983 – 89, doing colon therapy and nutritional counseling on detoxification programs. She would teach me how to work on people doing movements to align the spine and heal scoliosis, irritable bowel, and strains. She challenged me to become a Doctor of Chiropractic and so I did, graduating with honors in 1988 from Cleveland Chiropractic College LA. Along with my Masters Degree in Applied Human Relationships it was a natural combination as I feel healing is on the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels/​aspects of a person.

I first worked in Santa Monica, then Brentwood and now in West Los Angeles, Ca.

I have always been a wholistic/​holistic practitioner and spend a bit more time when treating a person, just like Dr. Gibson, D.C. taught me.

I also studied for a few years under Dr. David Denton, D.C. who also is a SOT practitioner.
