I highly recommend Dr Barry with Chiropractic Nutrition Clinic. I have suffered on and off for years with sciatica issues, migraines and trigger point issues. In the past, I went to a chiropractor for a period of three years who had a different approach that involved an initial x-ray and medical history and symptom evaluation and then a very long treatment plan and contract that involved multiple visits each week initially and that gradually became fewer. Each adjustment was pretty much the same and involved an assembly line of patients with a couple minutes at most with the chiropractor. Another evaluation would be done at yearly intervals with the same approach, x-rays and symptom assessment. My symptoms would improve over time, but after three years, my x-rays showed very little change and after stopping treatment for a period of time, my symptoms returned.
I had resigned myself to lifelong chiropractic treatment when I could afford it. Treatment costs had kept me from taking care of myself for some time until I had issues that I could no longer deal with. I had heard friends talk favorably about a chiropractor they had seen, so I asked them for a referral. They recommended Dr Barry. I was very hopeful especially when I found out that he accepted insurance and didn’t require a contract but withheld judgment until I could find out if his treatments would be effective.
Dr Barry has a different approach and treatment process which utilizes Applied Kinesiology. He reviewed my x-rays which I retrieved from my prior chiropractor and assessed my medical history and symptoms. He then did a physical assessment, muscle-testing and adjustments. He was able to pinpoint some physical issues relating to liver function immediately which was interesting because I have a benign liver tumor which I had failed to tell him about. Dr Barry eliminated my sciatica and trigger point symptoms right away, and since has helped me to improve my liver function through chiropractic and some nutritional recommendations. After only three months of treatment, I feel much better overall and am able to sleep through the night without sleep aids for the first time in a long time.
If you are looking for the assembly-line approach with a visit of 5 minutes or less, then he’s not the doctor for you. He takes the time to evaluate you at each visit to make the proper adjustments and recommendations.

I’ve always been a believer in Chiropractic care. As an athlete in High School, I found Chiropractic treatment to be much more effective than any physical therapy, so seeing a Chiropractor as an adult was an easy choice. My mistake, however, was in believing that all Chiropractic treatment was the same.
I had been treated by an area Chiropractor who told me that I had the back of a 60 year old, and that I would need to meet with him 3 times a week over the next 3 months. Assuming that all Chiropractors were the same, I followed his plan and finished the treatments with minimal results and with a hefty bill to pay. I still had back trouble, and needed to see him once a week for maintenance.
Unable to pay for continued treatment, I avoided all treatment for the next several months. Not surprisingly, my back trouble continued to grow, and I desperately needed to find some help. It was at this time that I found Dr. Barry.
After our very first meeting, Dr. Barry’s treatment had incredible effects. He not only adjusted my spine, but recommended a few nutritional supplements that have had amazing effects on me. We meet once a week for the next 8 weeks, and my back pain was not only manageable, but almost gone. Better yet, the adjustments and supplements Dr. Barry gave me had alleviated all my asthma symptoms! That was a welcome bonus to the already successful pain management; I was no longer dependent on the expensive medication that I had relied on for years to manage my asthma.
Dr. Barry has proven to be a real life-saver for me. I’m able to play with my children in ways that I hadn’t been able to before without pain or an inhaler. As long as Dr. Barry is still practicing, he can count on me being one of his patients.

I had an experience with an Applied Kinesiology practictioner once as a teenager and it was amazing. One visit and the pain from a nasty fall on my head was gone! So, 10 years later when my wife and I were looking for an Applied Kinesiologist God literally dropped Dr. Barry in our laps. We’ve been seeing him for the last year with tremendous success. He addresses the whole body as an interrelated system instead of a series of problems to be addressed. He always takes time to listen, understand, and ensure that we understand him. He’s helped me out with a hip alignment issue that’s caused me no end of trouble. He has also worked wonders with helping my wife address glandular imbalances through nutrition, diet, and exercise. We could not ask for a better practitioner who really is on our side.

The service and counsel provided by Dr. Barry Swindler of Chiropractic Nutrition Clinic has been educational and life-enhancing. The improvement that my wife and I have experienced in our physical well-being is astounding. We have and will continue to recommend Dr. Barry to our friends and family.
My wife and I are both employed in stressful and physically demanding careers. I’m a machinist and she is a cosmetologist. As we progress through our 30’s, the years of constant use and inevitable abuse of our bodies has taken a toll. The discomfort and pain progressed to the point where my wife began to reconsider her career options. She could no longer endure the pain induced by her job. When we began our treatment with Dr. Barry a year ago, the pain could no longer be ignored. The services Dr. Barry provided greatly reduced the chronic pain by finding the root cause of the problem as opposed to simply masking the symptoms. Dr. Barry led us through a series of dietary adjustments that corrected the cause of our problems and reduced much of our pain and discomfort. He also instructed us in the use of supplements to correct dietary deficiencies and taught us how to improve our diets to make our daily nutrition more complete. The total effect is that we both feel the healthiest we have felt since high school.
Our positive experience with Dr. Barry led us to refer my mother to his care. She has also experienced substantial improvement with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The treatment Dr. Barry provided has prevented her from requiring surgery on her arm.
We would recommend Dr. Barry to anyone seeking improvement in their physical condition.

I came to Dr. Barry with a lot of back pain and body aches from working as a cosmetologist for 14 years. The pain would get so bad that I wondered how I would be able to stay in my profession. After the first session with Dr. Barry, I felt 10 years younger. I realized that I had found the cure for my aches! I see Dr. Barry every two weeks and am virtually pain free. I can stay in my field of work as long as I want to now!

I have been a believer in chiropractic care since I sought relief from the back and neck pain I experienced as a high school teacher and softball coach. The results were undeniable, with the added bonus of reduced sinus headaches and lower levels of anxiety.
When I moved to Wake Forest two years ago, I had just given birth to my first child and was dealing with all the associated aches and pains of added weight and stress. In addition to the normal side effects of pregnancy, I had developed very painful and unsightly lesions on my hands and feet. They cracked, peeled, and bled on a regular basis and I had no explanation for why they occurred. I visited two dermatologists at great expense with no results. I was treated with topical medications and given very general and ambiguous diagnoses. The medications did not help.
New to the area, I searched the internet for a chiropractor that I felt would help me with the back and shoulder pain I was experiencing as a new mom, but who would also help me determine what else might be out of balance within my body causing my skin to react so dramatically. I was immediately drawn to Dr. Barry’s philosophy that many factors, not just the manipulation of the spine, were the key to overall wellness.Upon meeting Dr. Barry, I was impressed with his knowledge of his craft and general health and his personable nature. The practice is simple and affordable, yet effective. He spent a great deal of time working with me to develop a plan for improved health, both externally and internally. The combination of chiropractic care, nutritional supplementation and applied kinesiology worked for me. My skin condition is overwhelmingly improved and I feel a great deal less pain and increased energy levels. I would recommend Dr Barry to any person who is looking for more than just a band-aid approach to their pain and health issues.
