I was feeling like a beaten dog by the time I arrived in this clinic. I had bounced from doctor to doctor, always being told I was “fine” when I knew I wasn’t. I had unrelenting, severe depression, gastrointestinal upset, hypertension, chronic fatigue, irritability, skin lesions, chronic hemorrhoids, and the list goes on. I knew I wasn’t fine, despite being told otherwise, but I had resigned myself to thinking this was just normal aging, given that every doctor I had seen didn’t find anything wrong. Then, I wound up here. Dr. Lara Sweeney was the first doctor to ever legitimize my myriad of symptoms. She actually took me seriously, unlike every other doctor I’d ever been to. Instead of writing me off, she ordered a large battery of tests to try to get to the root causes of the issues I was facing. What we found was nothing short of astronomical. I had been an undiagnosed Celiac for years, had other as-of-then unknown autoimmunity, a whole host of food reactions, and several nutrient deficiencies. Dr. Sweeney was able to completely resolve my chronic hemorrhoids and skin lesions, give me my energy back, and resolve many of my gastrointestinal upsets. My depression has improved greatly, my liver enzymes normalized, my body composition improved, and my blood pressure lowered drastically, all without the use of drugs or surgery. In addition, Dr. Jay Sweeney was able to correct some long-term joint pain through simple adjustment; no drugs or surgery needed, as well as clear some past emotional trauma through NET – something traditional talk therapy/counseling failed in doing. I feel lighter overall as a result. I feel better now than I have in well over a decade, and I continue to feel a bit better all the time. Whereas conventional medicine had failed me, functional medicine and chiropractic/NET might have very well saved my life. Thanks, Drs. Sweeney.
I think it's important to have a chiropractor who understands your goals as an individual, and Dr. Jay does just that. He works hard to bring you the best care possible so that you can be free from pain, and get back to the things you love as soon as possible. I always appreciate the ability to explain what is going on so that I understand why I'm hurting, and what I need to do to prevent it from happening again. Thanks, doc!
I've trained as a chiropractor, and have been treated by some of the best in chiro, acupuncture, functional medicine, homeopathy, energy medicine, etc. I catch on pretty quick when a doctor is not truly masterful or is a one trick pony advertising as a well rounded doctor. I've lived in San Antonio almost year and went through a few duds before finding Dr. Sweeney. He is a masterful adjuster and thorough. So far acupuncture treatments are excellent as well. Good technique, effective. A caring doctor with good/proper patient-doctor boundaries. He is informative, answers questions well and completely. He is immersed in the science and art of what he practices and still continues to keep educating himself way beyond what is required, which is a common trait of doctors who actually heal people and are true masters of their crafts.
