Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments. We address spinal misalignments and extremity issues using Gonstead, Diversified, and Motion Palpation techniques. Patients benefit from improved mobility, pain relief, and enhanced nervous system function through our comprehensive approach to wellness.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments utilize traditional Chinese medicine principles to restore energy flow through 12 meridians in the body. We employ AcuGraph technology for precise meridian assessment and electro-acupuncture stimulation. This service helps alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote natural healing for conditions ranging from joint pain to hormonal imbalances.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Specialized chiropractic care for children addresses developmental spinal issues from physical stresses. Our gentle adjustments help improve sleep patterns, behavior, and immune function in young patients. We create safe, comfortable treatment plans tailored to each child's growth and development needs.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This treatment effectively addresses sciatica, bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease by enhancing the body's natural healing processes. Patients experience reduced pain and improved spinal function through this targeted therapy.
Corrective Exercises
Customized corrective exercise programs restore proper movement patterns and eliminate compensations. These targeted exercises improve biomechanics, strengthen supporting structures, and enhance treatment outcomes. We guide patients through movement strategies that prepare their bodies for more integrated physical activities.

Report
I highly recommend Dr. Bret. I began having lower left back and hip pain during pregnancy that lingered around even after delivery. Through several adjustments and specific stretches and exercises recommended by Dr. Bret my discomfort is completely gone almost 100% of the time. My initial evaluation was much more thorough than I had anticipated and I got all my questions and concerns answered. Dr. Bret laid out a clear road map of realistic expectations in terms of how long I could expect my pain to go away (for example after the first few adjustments I really only got a few hours of relief before the nagging pain came back (which Dr. Bret told me would happen) but I am now about 10-12 adjustments out from the initial visit (~6- 7 weeks I think) and I am getting through the entire week between visits with pretty much no pain!).
If Dr. Bret hadn't been thorough from the initial visit and laid a realistic timeline for me to experience relief from my discomfort I probably would have stopped going after the 3rd or 4th visit but boy am I glad I didn't! If you are experiencing postpartum back and hip pain go see Dr. Bret!

Dr. Bret Lickteig is the best Chiropractor that I have ever been to in my life. At 61, my bones are aging and I can always count on Bret to place them back in order. If you are looking for a Chiropractor that can get the job done in a professional manner top to bottom, there is no other choice. Dr. Bret all the way!

Dr. Brett is absolutely amazing! He knows exactly what to do and talks you through the entire experience. His adjustments feel good and he makes sure I am always comfortable. He's so charismatic and friendly, there is never an awkward moment. I love seeing him, I'm always so happy when I leave the clinic. I referred my sister, friend and boyfriend and they were all super pleased with their adjustments.
I HIGHLY recommend Swickard Chiropractic. The girls at the front desk are so sweet and nice. The entire experience is great! I also see Dr. Swickard for acupuncture and he's also amazing! He makes sure I'm comfortable during the entire experience. I absolutely LOVE this clinic and again, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
