Patient Testimonials
I started coming to Swain Family Chiropractic because of pain in my right hip and leg. I was unable to take care of the children in my daycare due to the pain in my hip. Because of the pain on my right side I was leaning all of my weight on my left side so by sticking with regular adjustments my hip pain has subsided and I have improved immensely.

I was miserable due to the pain in my back radiating down into my legs. I couldn't walk very far or even stand through a whole song at church without severe pain. I was in pain for 3 months before I saw my MD. He gave me medication and sent me to therapy. I went to therapy for 3 months with no improvements. I was going to go to a surgeon when someone recommended Dr. Ron. After 3 adjustments I had relief. I feel normal again. I had never been to a chiropractor before and I would recommend Dr. Ron.

I started going to Swain Family Chiropractic due to low back pain. I feel better now and am more active after regular chiropractic visits. I like Dr. Swain better than other chiropractors because he takes the time at each appointment to evaluate my spine and make only the necessary adjustments. Other places I felt like it was more "assembly line", same thing every time.
-Wendy from Rochester Hills
Dr. Swain and his staff are always very warm and welcoming when I came in for my appointments. The office is very clean, neat and professional. Dr. Swain explained everything in his report of findings so I could understand it, and I am feeling a lot better since I have been coming to the office.
-Jim from Shelby Township
I started coming to Dr. Swain because I was having back, knee and headache problems. I was impressed on how smart and knowledgeable Dr. Swain is. He thoroughly explained each x-ray so that I could understand what was going on in my body. I use to get really bad migraine headaches, and they have since gone away. I also have little to no pain anymore in my back and hips since coming to his office. My knee pain is completely gone. I am feeling much better since I started my treatment here.. The staff is always so friendly, and the office is clean and welcoming. I would recommend chiropractic care to anyone in pain or for maintenance care.

I love Swain Family Chiropractic! Everyone is helpful and friendly. I have RA and asthma. I came to this center because my orthopedic doctor told me I would have to have a hip replacement when the pain became very severe. I limped and could not stop the pain in my groin and thighs. Dr. Swain, through manipulation, stretching, heat, and massage therapy stopped the pain. Both doctors are kind and helpful and concerned for their patients' well being. Thanks for caring.
-Romayne from WashingtonI ended up at Swain Family Chiropractic through a living social deal for a massage. Included in the massage was a free chiropractic consultation. I must admit I was a bit skeptical. As a dancer I do a lot of wear and tear on my body and at the time I was experiencing chronic pain in my neck, middle and lower back. I've also experience some tendinitis in my left heel and ankle. I also noticed that I was suffering from fatigue and mild to severe headaches on a day to day basis. I was very eager and interested to get pain free. What I love most about Dr. Ron and Dr. Eric is that they are very personable and make it a point to really educate their patients about the ins and outs of chiropractic and how it relates to that patient.

My headaches are far and few between now and I feel like I have much more energy. I am so glad that I decided to give Chiropractic a chance, more importantly that I ended up at Swain Family Chiropractic. I know I'm in good hands!
-Jennifer from Macomb
I have been seeing Dr. Swain for well over a year now, and couldn't be any more pleased with the results! On more than one occasion I have had sudden, sharp pain in either my back, neck, or shoulders, and Dr. Swain was able to immediately see me and alleviate the pain naturally! The same goes for migraines! I used to have migraines pretty regularly, now they are few and far between! I see him regularly now, approximately once every other week, and I am extremely happy with the results. I recommend him to anybody looking to improve their health in a natural way!
-Bob from Troy
I have been involved with medical group practices for more than 30 years and as a traditional “MD” type of person, I had not placed much faith in Chiropractic physicians or their services, the past 30 tears. Recently, as a result of a presentation by Dr Ronald Swain, at my local Chamber of Commerce event; I started a regular chiropractic regiment for spinal adjustments at Swain Family Chiropractic, 26 Mile & Mound Rd, Shelby Township, MI. These regiments are spine adjustment sessions with Dr Swain,2 days a week, to adjust my spine, neck and lower back. After the adjustments are finished; I am then put on a “Continuous Motion” device for 15 minutes to stretch my lower back, hips and legs. Also on occasion, I am given a full back and lower spine mechanical massage by a therapist. My walking & standing pain is gradually disappearing. Dr Swain's offices are new, clean & the staff is well organized. I recommend Swain Family Chiropractic to anyone wanting to eliminate back pain without surgery.
-Colin from Shelby Township
Dr. Ron's THE BEST! I tell him that after every adjustment! I have been a patient for nearly two (2) years. I initially went because of horrific pain in both knees& was walking with a cane. After a mere three (3) visits, my pain had subsided and the cane was history! Since that day of being set free from suffering, I have continued to follow Dr. Ron's recommendations. I am thoroughly convinced that I am walking today because of Dr. Ron! He(and his staff) are like family. He is not only filled with extreme knowledge but, also, with deep compassion. I have referred not only my family and friends, but when I meet a total stranger who is in pain, they are certain to get a prayer and one of Dr. Ron's business card!
-Susan from Romeo
We LOVE this practice! Tim was previously told he would need additional surgery on his neck(injury) But because of these treatments, no surgery will be needed!! He is practically pain free now, and has much better range of motion. His severe back spasms now rare. I feel great every time I receive adjustments. Dr Swain treats all patients like they are family. He cares and educates everyone about how to take the best care of your body. We highly Recommend Swain chiropractic to everyone we know.
-Linda and Tim from Washington
I started going to Swain Family Chiropractic when I was 6 months pregnant. I had never received chiropractic care previously, and was simply amazed at how Dr. Swain was able to make me comfortable during the most uncomfortable months of my life. I am so grateful to have found his practice, and highly recommend to all!
-Amy from Washington
Before going to see Dr. Swain, I was suffering from pain and stiffness in my neck and lower back. I had never seen a Chiropractor before so I was also a little unsure. Dr. Swain and his staff put my mind at ease and now I have a better range of motion in my neck, no more stiffness,and best of all, I'm pain free in my lower back. I thank Dr. Swain every time I see him for helping me live a little better every day.
-Ken from Almont
I had a series of car accidents and met Dr. Swain after a medical doctor told me I needed surgery before he did a scan! I called Dr. Swain on a Saturday and he made a special trip into the office to see me! After 2 weeks of care I was able to move my head normally, and NO SURGERY! I continue to see Dr. Swain on a weekly basis and I am a definite advocate for Chiropractic care...even in the hospital I work at as a nurse!
-Pam from Leonard
Dr. Swain has done wonders for my headaches. I have had them for many years and now they are almost completely gone!! I highly recommend his care if you suffer from headaches and neck pain.
-Melissa from Romeo
Dr. Swain is the best! My neck was so bad I could not even turn to look over my shoulder. I can now easily turn and look after just 1 week! Thank you!
-Jane from Utica
I love to play golf. In 2009 i had severe lower back pain and could not swing a golf club. I went to Dr. Ron and after two visits my pain was gone and i was playing golf. He is dedicated to his profession and also to every person who comes in to his business, a true professional.
-Daryl from Romeo
Swain Family Chiropractic is the best! I was impressed by the prompt service I received at Swain Family Chiropractic. I have received very effective treatment that has made me feel like myself again. I continue my care here because health and wellness are a very important part of my life.
-Amanda
I left pain free! Swain Family Chiropractic is unlike any of the chiropractors I have previously been to. I felt immediate improvement throughout my whole spine. The staff is so attentive and caring which was another reason why I wanted to continue my care. I felt like no matter what was going on in my day, I had a smile on my face when I walked in the door.
-Gina
Hello, my chiropractic care is something I am proud to tell you about. I have been receiving Chiropractic care since I was 39 years old. I am now 65 years and still rely on my chiropractor to keep me in good health. Not only have I been a patient, but I also worked for Dr. Herfert for many years. During that time I brought my 2 children for care. They both still continue to depend on and realize how much it helps you daily.
I have fallen several times and have some long term problems with my back which Dr. Herfert and now Dr. Swain keep adjusted so that I can function well and with no pain. I also know that it helps my overall health. Everything working-muscles, nerves and blood flow through proper adjusting keeps all my organs functioning and healthy. If I feel anxious or slightly feverish I know an adjustment will help and definitely keep me from going into a full fledged cold.
Chiropractic is a life style because you learn about your body and how important your spinal health is to your mind and body.
I know I will continue my care and I feel it is helping to keep me active and healthy.
-Peggy from Washington Township
I have been going to Swain Chiropractic for a three + years now, since just after they opened. Truth be told, I've known Dr. Swain since high school. Though that should have given me pause, instead, I gave it a shot, and I've been beyond pleased. The team at Swain Family Chiropractic has been the example of professional and courteous since the first time there. I have watched people from small children to the elderly be treated by Dr. Swain and his staff, and all leave with the same level of confidence and satisfaction when they leave.
The Staff
This is simply one of the kindest and dedicated staff I've met at a medical center. From the ladies at the front to the assistants who keep you moving through stretches, cracks and massages, the Swain team is the best. They are quick to greet you, happy to make conversation and pleased to leave you alone if you're not willing to bite. That's nice. I've never felt unwelcome, nor have I ever felt that staff was tired, and I've been in at the end of long days. In the end, the most impressive part of this group is the human element. They understand that schedules change and people’s lives are complicated. From reminders to welcoming phone calls when you reschedule, this staff is honest, but willing to go out of their way to make you comfortable and do what they can to work around your schedule.
The facility
Swain Family Chiropractic is certainly not a big place, but its more than adequate. The team moves their patients to and from various stations like a finely tuned ballet. The doctors and staff work well together to maximize the space they have and it's always pristine and sterile, as would be expected but isn't always the case. They have two adjusting rooms, a traction room, the diagnosis and testing room, an X-ray facility, and a massage room for extended therapeutic massage.
The Doctors
From top to bottom Dr. Ron (Swain) and Dr. Eric, and the rest, do a great job. The Swain Family group are not in a rush to treat and always professional in their approach. As a returning patient, despite moving some ways away, I was pleasantly surprised that the team didn't go right to work on me. Instead, I went through x-rays and a variety of muscle and stress examinations so that they were able to treat the entirety of my issues versus the symptoms. I was also reminded that this is my spine they were adjusting, and in doing so must be careful not to put pressure on already inflamed or stressed parts of my back. The team was great, and had me back onto my feet.
The best description I can give to this place was while I was face down getting a stretch on the traction table when I overheard another patient talking in the lobby. The patients, both a woman and her young child, who had been treated by Dr. Swain, were greeted excitedly by the Dr. as they walked into the office. After a lengthy exchange between Dr. Swain and the child, it was obvious why they came there, and felt comfortable with the practice, the young boy felt like he was family. He was treated as an individual and the Dr. who has his own young family, understood that and made that young child feel special and cared for. At the heart of medicine is caring for the patient, and Dr. Ron and Dr. Eric take time to get to know their patients, interact with them, and make sure they all feel that way. The rest of the staff does as well.
This is a great place, and though I live literally across town, it's worth the 25 minute drive to and from where I work, to get there. I always feel better, in and out. It's a great place! Though I've known Dr. Swain for some time, I've been to a number of chiropractors over the years, and the reasons above are why I keep coming back to this one. Give it a try...you won't regret it.
