Testimonials

“I highly recommend Dr. Scott to anyone looking to either treat a chronic condition, heal an injury, or just improve overall health. He treated me for acute diverticulitis initially, but because of his holistic practices and educating me on lifestyle changes (primarily dietary), my health has dramatically improved. I feel better at 47 than I did at 20. The investment in my health as well as my family’s health is one of the best decisions I have ever made.”

“My wife and I have seen Dr. Scott periodically for a variety of issues for more than 10 years. I’ve never known a more skilled, knowledgeable, or effective chiropractor. Dr. Scott and his staff are friendly and professional, and I feel they all genuinely care about our health and well-being. Thanks for everything, Dr. Scott!”

“I must say that I have been a patient of Dr. Swarthout for over two decades. I have been a farmer most of my life and will be sixty in 2017. In those twenty plus years, he was my primary caregiver. Dr. Scott has gotten me through everything from back injuries, major joint injuries, illnesses, gut issues, emotional and psychological problems too. I know it sounds like a lot of issues, we all have them whether we know it or not. He has treated me and my family for everything I have gone through; a category two MCL sprain, ankle sprains, sprained wrists, hand problems, debilitating back pain, Iritis, torn ligaments and muscles in my foot, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, fatigue, colds, TMJ, and flu. He even helped me get through a bout with Dengue fever when I returned from a trip to Costa Rica. In the time that Scott has been my doctor I have not taken any antibiotics or Drugs for anything, other than aspirin. I rarely saw a medical doctor in that time. Sounds far-fetched, although it is true. The unique thing about Scott’s care is not just the treatments, it is also how deep he gets into the treatment and the empowerment he gives you by educating you to heal yourself through lifestyle, diet, and discipline. Another thing that I really like about his techniques are the spiritual components he involves in his treatment i.e. Neuro Emotional Technique as one example. Dr. Scott has taught me that in order to be healthy physically, mentally and emotionally, you must also be healthy in your spirit. He has the tools for that too. With those tools he taught and used on me, I have become a very happy tranquil person. To this point everything that has come my way that used to cripple me mentally, emotionally or physically I can handle easily. To put it metaphorically, the tempests I face these days “roll off of me like a water off a duck’s back”. He cares so much that he ends up becoming your friend and brother. It is like he is part of your family. His treatment and commitment are second to none. I owe my health to Scott. It has truly been an amazing journey. Thank you so much. ”

“Dr. Swarthout is an exceptional chiropractor. He has performed near miracles with our family.”

“It has been about two and a half months since I started as a patient with Dr. Swarthout, and while I’m still on the path to healing I’d like to share a success story.

My first experience with Swarthout Chiropractic was after my 12 year old son had a head injury and concussion which multiple medical professionals were unable to manage the symptoms for. After two chiropractic sessions with Dr. Swarthout, my son’s symptoms of dizziness, nausea, headaches and tingling in the extremities were almost completely resolved. After several months now of continued holistic care, he is a healthy, strong boy who knows how to make good choices for his future health and well-being. He is free of all the post-concussion symptoms he had suffered with for months before seeing Dr. Swarthout.

After seeing the success Dr. Swarthout had with my son, I brought in my daughter to have a prior shoulder injury treated which he took care of quickly with manual manipulation and cold laser treatments. After her shoulder was treated, she made the decision to be treated holistically for optimum health. Dr. Swarthout implemented specialized dietary changes as well as supplementation to solve other health issues. She is now doing extremely well and getting an excellent education in healthy lifestyle choices.

Finally, I took the next step of becoming a patient myself. I have had some major injuries in my life resulting in musculoskeletal issues which have never been completely resolved medically. Dr. Swarthout has been able to address these issues with chiropractic manipulation and provide pain relief without any type of medications, as he is getting to the root of the problem.

I have spent a lifetime consuming the Standard American Diet, which has wreaked havoc on my digestive system. This has brought with it many miseries which culminated in a serious bout of diverticulitis last summer. The diverticulitis was treated conventionally with very strong antibiotics and equally strong pain killers. While I was grateful that my Kaiser doctor was able to eliminate the infection, my gut function was completely debilitated by the treatment. I had been suffering from symptoms, some of which sometimes affected my ability to carry out normal activities, for about 8-9 months before becoming a patient at Swarthout Chiropractic. Since implementing Dr. Swarthout’s dietary recommendations, I have experienced almost a complete eradication of my digestive problems and have dropped about ten pounds. This has made it easier for me to run in the mornings, which is one of my favorite activities with my some.

I have suffered from severe anemia most of my life, and through Dr. Swarthout’s expertise in prescribing customized supplementation, I am overcoming anemia and adrenal issues, as well as other related issues.

Another thing all of us really appreciate is the support that Crystal provides, with her own success story, positive attitude, and her in-depth knowledge of Dr. Scott’s techniques and practices.

I am looking forward to continued healing and wellness i the months and years ahead, and I know that choosing treatment with Swarthout Chiropractic is one of the best decisions I have ever made for my family.”

“Doctor Scott, I wanted to thank you for all you’ve done to restore my body back to health.

For more than six years, I was having many, many health issues, including insomnia, intestinal problems, Candida, a weight problem, and the most frightening was an irregular heartbeat and palpitations, I had tried other doctors, but all they did was prescribe drugs and some of the drugs were making me worse.

Since I’ve been coming to you, my candida is gone, I lost the weight, my stomach issues have improved tremendously, and my heart has been beating perfectly normal. The insomnia also is a thing of the past. I now sleep at least seven to eight hours nightly.

I am so, so thankful.”

“Ten months ago I came to Scott for an adjustment and I had a cough. That lead to a food allergy conversation, which led to a conversation about detox, which led to a conversation about candida, and so on.

The result has been a 25 lb. weight loss and better nutrition. I feel much better than I did and have had lots of compliments on my skin and weight loss.

Ultimately, it has been learning more about my body and telling Scott every small detail about anything good or bad that occurs between visits.

Last year (and years past), I was sick several times with colds and allergy symptoms. This year, not a sniffle!

I know this is a lifestyle change, and I’m willing to continue because my family history is not the healthiest. I’m in my 50’s and finally am thinking about the future. Thanks to Scott, who is dedicated to his patients, health through nutrition and chiropractic.”

“I came in seeking help in losing some weight, gaining energy and losing aches and pains in hands and knee and wanting to be in a healthier lifestyle.

The weight went down and the energy went up and some of the pain left. I know I am living a better and more disciplined healthy life!

Friends have noticed a change in me especially in the past months. And I’m grateful for Dr. Swarthout’s knowledge and expertise in a wholeness view on health and energy in treating the body. He works with all aspects of your being to bring the body into health (emotions, mental attitudes and the physical balance). And his approach is absolutely great! I appreciate his patience, his listening ear, his encouragement and his caring spirit, It’s truly a wonderful “bedside manner”.

I am a woman going to be 74 in November and I have the energy of a 45 or 50 year old! I hope to live another 25 years with health and abilities to enjoy those years as I continue working at this stage and also looking forward to new experiences and adventures in the years ahead.

Thank you so much, Dr. Swarhout! You are truly and answer to my prayers!”

“The best summation of Dr. Scott’s care is that I am 6 foot tall, and after I see Dr. Scott, I feel 10 foot tall in all ways!”

“I have had migraines approximately three times a week for the last ten years of my life. Dr. Swarthout healed my migraines by doing tests and changing my diet. He is the type of Dr. who tries to fix the root of the problem, not just cover it up. He is extremely in tune with individual body’s needs and is extremely knowledgeable on how to heal them. I am so thankful that I decided to see him, my life is honestly changed!”

“I had my first visit to Dr. Swarthout in November of 2013. At this time I had just turned 25 and had tried just about everything under the sun to help my health problems that had plagued me for years. I have had migraines since age 8, debilitating TMJ pain since 12 or 13, gastrointestinal problems since age 15, difficulties with depression and anxiety on and off throughout high school, fibromyalgia since I was 21, and diagnosed hypothyroidism since age 23. I had tried every type of prophylactic medication for migraines but nothing ever helped. For most of my life I have been plagued by a minimum of 10-15 migraines per month, with extended periods where I had migraines every single day. I’ve had MRIs, head CTs, x-rays, and infinite blood tests, all of which revealed nothing. Acupuncture, massage therapy, and physical therapy brought temporary relief for my ailments, but required a minimum of weekly treatments. I had tried all sorts of different type of elimination diets to try to find a source and I was never successful. I exercised regularly and yet it didn’t help either the fibromyalgia or the digestion problems. Eventually, I stumbled upon Botox treatments for migraines. While this provided the most temporary relief I had ever experienced, it required me to have injections, essentially of poison, into my head once every 3 months. Even this didn’t relieve my migraines completely as I would still get 3 to 5 per month. It is strange now to look back on all of this because on the whole, I thought I was doing everything right; eating healthy, sleeping regularly, staying in good physical condition, and yet I felt I was doomed to a life of pain and sleeping 12 or more hours a day.

When I began my treatment with Dr. Swarthout, I had no expectations, and just figured it couldn’t hurt to give it a shot. He ran some blood tests and a saliva test to see where my levels were. We discovered quickly that my adrenals and hormones were in a state of distress; I was suffering from Candida overgrowth, intestinal fungus, and a leaky gut. The first, and in my mind most important, thing that Dr. Swarthout recommended was a dietary change. He tested me using applied kinesiology on all of the grains and dairy and we discovered that I was highly sensitive to all. I removed all grains, including corn, rice, oats, etc, and all dairy from my diet immediately. He suggested I follow a typical “Paleo” diet as a guideline, so I also removed legumes. After about two weeks, I could already feel a difference in my body. He started me on some supplements to aide my healing, always checking in with me to see where my symptoms were and if I was tolerating the supplements (both financially and physically). Since I was willing to come in weekly for treatments, he also began regular treatments for my jaw, performing adjustments and cold laser therapy.

While I saw almost immediate improvement in my health, the turning point for me was after about 4 months, when I was able to declare that I had gone 30 days without a migraine; a first for me since I was probably 9 or 10! Now after almost 3 years under his care, I can honestly say that I don’t even recognize myself. The life I have now is 100% different from before; I am essentially pain free and happier than I’ve ever been. I haven’t had a migraine in over a year, I don’t feel any sense of fibromyalgia, my digestion has improved, I have more energy than I’ve ever known, and my jaw’s range of motion has vastly improved and the pain has decreased. The best part is that I feel so much more in-tune with my body, I feel in control of my life, and I feel whole. I’m no longer plagued by the worry of being in pain at any given moment; I’m free!”

“After a grueling labor/delivery in December of 2003, I began immediately to experience pain in my jaw (TMJ or temporomandibular joint). Over the months it would flare up so bad that I couldn’t even open my mouth to bite into a sandwich. The pain radiated between my jaw and ear and eventually became unmanageable. My daily doses of Advil began to have zero effect on easing the discomfort. I suffered with this until May of 2007 when I contacted Dr, Swarthout. After our first meeting, I had great confidence he could help me with this issue. About three months of treatment and my jaw was back to normal and I am happily 100% pain free! I am so thankful for his knowledge and skill in treating what was such a painfully chronic ordeal.”

“Reason for seeking care: Could not walk, sit, stand, lay down...Agony!

I have seen 3 back doctors, have had 3 MRI’s, have been put on steroids twice. The steroids were the only thing that got me back on my feet, The doctors said I could no longer be on steroids, so some days I was incapacitated. This was about over a period of 7 years. About 6 months ago, I was at work (I’m an office manager for 2 companies, so I sit a lot). I was in extreme pain. I couldn’t sit, stand, or walk. Luckily, my computer tech was at my job. He took one look at me and flipped open his phone and called his doctor (Scott Swarthout). He explained to him that this was an emergency. I got in right away—within the hour. I felt better after the 1st visit. I continued to see Dr. Swarthout every week for about 4 to 6 weeks. I now see him about once a month. I have never felt better. His medicine is amazing and I have recommended him to friends and family. I would just like to say thank you, Scott.”

“Reason for seeking care: Long years of structural back problems and pain

For several years I had doctors tell me I had the classic symptoms of fibromyalgia. At first I agreed that was probably the case. But in the last 4 years I felt the pain i was experiencing was more than fibromyalgia. The pain had gotten so bad I was having a lot of difficulty sleeping. I had chronic heartburn and diarrhea. I was so exhausted that it was a struggle to get through daily routines such as getting out of bed, showering, and fixing even a simple meal. I spent most of my day napping and forcing myself to do something as simple as going out to pick up the newspaper from the driveway. I was absolutely exhausted and suffered from terrible muscle pain.

Then I was referred to Dr. S. Within 3 days of a diagnosis of having a severe sensitivity to wheat and avoiding all products containing any wheat, I started feeling better! My fatigue subsided, my heartburn and diarrhea were gone, and I had so much more energy!!”
