Meet the Doctors

You've probably heard the saying, "Two heads are better than one." We've taken that to heart at Swink Chiropractic. With two chiropractors on staff, you get the benefit of extra brainpower. Especially with difficult cases.

Goleta Chiropractor Dr. Robert Swink

I have two maternal uncles that are chiropractors in Colorado that sparked my interest in the chiropractic profession. Most of my high school days I suffered from chronic low back pain, especially during sports.  I remember how I felt after my first adjustment, I immediately had less pain and it was easier to move. I also remember being astonished in learning that the body could actually heal itself when aligned properly. read more»

Goleta Chiropractor Dr. Ryan Swink

I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California into a family of chiropractors. My father, a chiropractor, assisted in my natural birth. He gave me my first adjustment within the first hour of my birth. My mother has been involved with chiropractic and a holistic life style since her teenage years, therefore, I was raised without drugs, medication, or vaccinations. I grew up amazingly healthy with chicken pox being my only childhood disease. I never missed a day of school due to illness. Chiropractic, homeopathic physicians, natural whole food nutrition, and physical fitness completed my health care regimen.

In high school I competed in track and field. My team mates often got injured with pulled muscles, shin splints, water in the knee, sprains, tendinitis, etc. While I worked out and competed as hard as my team mates did I did not experience the injuries they did. I attributed this to a steady diet of chiropractic care and good nutrition. My father attended all my track meets adjusting me on the field before or after running or jumping. By request of our coach he became the team chiropractor and took care of our team and the coaches waiving any fee. read more»
