A neighbor, not a name on a map
Most clinics that show up for "chiropractor Lakewood Ranch FL" sit in Sarasota or Bradenton and list the Ranch as an area they serve. We live here. Our address is 6710 Professional Pkwy W, Suite 102, 34240, in the business park where State College of Florida, Keiser University, and Lakewood Ranch Medical Center are your neighbors. If you work in one of those Town Center offices or you are picking up groceries off Lakewood Ranch Boulevard, we are already on your way home.
That matters more than it sounds. Lakewood Ranch has held the top spot among the country's best-selling multigenerational master-planned communities for eight years running, and the population is past 77,000 and climbing toward 100,000. Roads like SR-70 and University Parkway carry a lot more traffic than they did five years ago. Being three minutes off University Parkway instead of fifteen minutes down I-75 is the difference between keeping your appointment and rescheduling it for the third time.
What we actually treat for people on the Ranch
The complaints we see most from Lakewood Ranch patients cluster in a few buckets. Low-back and disc pain is the big one, often from sitting through a long commute or a desk shift, then loading the spine the wrong way in the yard. Back pain and sciatica that wraps down one leg send people in weekly. For disc-driven cases, the first thing we usually reach for is non-surgical spinal decompression on our DOC table. It is computer-guided traction that takes pressure off a bulging or herniated disc, and for the right candidate it is the most useful non-surgical tool we own. That is the page to read first if your pain runs down a leg or arm.
Then there is nerve pain. Burning feet at night, numb toes, that pins-and-needles feeling that medication only half touches. Our neuropathy program stacks several treatments, ReBuilder, Class IV laser, electrical muscle stimulation, and nutritional support, and many patients report a meaningful change inside 8 to 12 weeks. We are honest about who it helps and who it doesn't, and we tell you at the consult, not three months in.
We also get the injuries that come with how people live out here. Pickleball is close to a religion on the Ranch, and we see the shoulder, knee, and lower-back flare-ups that come with it. Golf swings off the Legacy and Country Club courses do their share of damage too. And because SR-70 and I-75 funnel a lot of cars past us, we handle a steady stream of auto-injury cases.
Treatments most Lakewood Ranch patients ask about
Beyond decompression and the neuropathy program, the clinic runs chiropractic adjustments, Class IV laser, shockwave and softwave therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, whole-body vibration, knee decompression, and scoliosis bracing. Dr. Banman holds master-level scoliosis certification and is one of a small number of chiropractors authorized to fit Spinal Technology braces, so Ranch families with an adolescent or adult curve don't have to drive an hour to find it. He has also folded regenerative medicine into the practice since 2013, with ongoing training trips to Colombia, for patients weighing options other than surgery.
If you live in University Park
University Park runs right along University Parkway, and Professional Parkway sits a couple of minutes south of it. For most University Park residents the drive is five to eight minutes with no highway at all: out to University Parkway, east a short stretch, then south on Lakewood Ranch Boulevard to Professional Parkway. We treat plenty of University Park patients and consider it part of our home turf, no separate trip required.
Auto accidents and Florida PIP
If you were hit on SR-70, University Parkway, or the I-75 ramps, Florida's Personal Injury Protection covers the first $10,000 of injury care after a collision regardless of who was at fault. We bill PIP directly and handle the documentation, and we give new auto cases a 24-hour response because the treatment timeline affects your claim. Start with the conditions overview or call us the same day. The sooner the visit is on record, the better.
Villages and neighborhoods we see weekly.
Lakewood Ranch spreads across Manatee and Sarasota counties in a string of villages, each with its own character. We treat patients from all of them, and from the ZIPs that ring the clinic.

Disc & back pain
If the pain is deep, central, or running down a leg, it is often disc-driven. Non-surgical decompression is usually where we start.
See spinal decompression→Sciatica
Sharp pain or numbness from the lower back into the buttock and leg. We work to find the source, then treat it directly.
See the sciatica page→Nerve pain & numbness
Burning, tingling, or numb feet and hands. The neuropathy program stacks several modalities for cases medication alone hasn't settled.

Do you take insurance, or is it cash-pay?
We are a cash-pay practice. The only insurance we bill directly is auto-injury care under Florida PIP, which covers the first $10,000 of treatment after a collision regardless of fault. If you carry commercial insurance or Medicare you are still welcome. Many Lakewood Ranch patients choose us for the range of treatment under one roof rather than an adjustment-only office down the street. We are upfront on cost before you commit.
What do Lakewood Ranch patients most often come in for?
Low-back and disc pain, sciatica, neck pain and headaches, and peripheral neuropathy lead the list. We also see a steady run of pickleball and golf injuries from the Ranch's courts and courses, plus auto-injury cases off SR-70 and I-75.
How long is the wait for a first appointment?
Same-week first visits are usually available, and new auto-injury cases get a 24-hour response. The first visit runs about 45 to 60 minutes: a sit-down consult with Dr. Banman, an exam, X-rays if needed, and a sample treatment before you commit to anything. Read the new patient walkthrough for the step-by-step.
