For 26 years, Dr. Dan Durrieu has cared for Tampa Bay families on West Waters Avenue — infants to seniors, athletes to grandparents. We find the spinal misalignments interfering with your nervous system, correct them by hand, and help your body do what it was built to do: heal itself.
Dr. Dan, mid-adjustment · West Waters Ave
No rotating associates, no high-pressure plans. Dr. Dan Durrieu sees you himself — the same hands every visit, backed by a front-of-house team Tampa families have known for years.
Founder & treating chiropractor · 26 years
Dr. Dan believes the body is built to heal itself when the nervous system is free of interference. He has spent 26 years finding and correcting the spinal subluxations that get in the way — by hand, conservatively, without drugs or surgery — for patients of every age in Tampa Bay.
Massage, nutrition & patient care
Behind every adjustment is a team that remembers your name, your kids, and your last visit. They handle the scheduling, the insurance paperwork, and the licensed massage and nutrition support that round out your care — so the only thing you have to focus on is feeling better.
Most of the people who walk through our door are not chiropractic regulars. They are office workers who slept wrong, parents who picked up a toddler the wrong way, athletes mid-season, and folks who were rear-ended on the Veterans Expressway yesterday afternoon.
From sit-all-day stiffness to acute disc flare-ups. Most patients feel meaningful change inside two to four visits.
Forward-head posture, sleeping on a bad pillow, or post-MVA whiplash. Often paired with shoulder tension and headaches.
Cervicogenic headaches respond particularly well to upper-cervical work and soft-tissue release of the suboccipitals.
Radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling. We often pair adjustments with spinal decompression for disc-related cases.
Runners, weekend warriors, and high-school athletes. We get you back to training without masking the problem with pills.
We document thoroughly, communicate with your attorney or adjuster, and design a recovery plan that does not drag on.
Gentle techniques and supported positioning for low back, hip, and pelvic discomfort through every trimester.
Light, careful, age-appropriate work for growth-related complaints, sports stress, and sleep posture issues.
Rotator cuff irritation, frozen shoulder, and upper-thoracic involvement — common in desk workers and overhead athletes alike.
Repetitive strain and nerve entrapment in the wrist and forearm. Often linked to upper-cervical nerve root compression we can address at the source.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, IT band tightness, and hip imbalances that get blamed on the knee when the problem starts higher up.
Radial pressure wave and soft-tissue work for stubborn heel pain. Often resolves cases that have not responded to rest alone.
Every patient gets a real exam, real listening, and a plan that explains itself. The tools below are not a menu — they are the kit we draw from once we understand what is actually going on.
Precise, hands-on correction of the spinal misalignments interfering with your nervous system. Gentle, drop-table, and instrument-assisted options — the technique is matched to you, not the other way around.
Licensed therapeutic massage that releases the tight muscle and soft tissue around a misalignment — so adjustments hold longer and you leave looser than you came in.
Comfortable, conservative decompression to take pressure off compressed discs and irritated nerves in the lumbar and cervical spine — a drug-free path out of chronic pain.
Healing happens faster when the body is fed well. We translate nutrition into a handful of changes you can actually make — to lower inflammation and support recovery between visits.
Whisper-light adjustments for infants and children, and supported, gentle care through every trimester of pregnancy. The first patients many Tampa families bring us are their newborns.
Rear-ended? We document thoroughly, communicate with your attorney or adjuster, and build a recovery plan that does not drag on. Most auto and PIP policies cover care with no out-of-pocket cost.
Short, specific exercises you can do at the kitchen counter, plus a maintenance rhythm that keeps you well once you are out of pain. Four moves you will actually do beat fourteen you won't.
"I don't heal anyone. I remove the interference, and the body does what it already knows how to do."
— Dr. Dan Durrieu, D.C.
Every nerve in your body traces back to the spine. Keep that line clear, and the whole system runs the way it was designed to.
No mystery. No "let's see how it goes." Here is exactly what happens, in order, on the day you walk in.
Download the new-patient packet ahead of time or fill it out in the waiting room. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID.
The doctor sits down with you. We listen first. What hurts, when, how long, what you have already tried, and what you actually need to be able to do.
Orthopedic, neurologic, and range-of-motion tests. If imaging is needed, we will order it; if not, we will tell you that too.
You will leave with a clear plan, an estimate, and an answer to "how long until I feel better." No fourteen-page packets, no high-pressure sales.
Most new patients get their first adjustment the same day. If today is not the right day for treatment, that is fine — we will reschedule, no charge.
We verify your benefits before your first appointment so the front-desk conversation is short and there are no surprises on visit two.
New patients get a full consultation, exam, and spinal X-rays for $50 — so you can find out exactly what's going on before you commit to anything. No pre-paid care plans, no bundles, no pressure.
Honest, flat per-visit pricing if you're paying out of pocket. CareCredit is accepted for larger plans, and simple payment arrangements are available for established patients who need them — just ask.

Dr. Dan has cared for some Tampa families across three generations. The notes below reflect the kind of feedback patients share — read more on our Google and Facebook pages.
Dr. Dan actually takes the time to explain what's happening in your spine and why. He's been adjusting our whole family — including the kids — for years and we wouldn't trust anyone else.
I came in after a car accident barely able to turn my neck. He documented everything, worked with my insurance, and got me back to normal without a single pill. Genuinely grateful.
I was nervous about bringing my newborn, but the adjustment was so gentle — just light fingertip pressure. He's wonderful with little ones and explains every step.
Chronic low-back pain I'd had for years is finally manageable. No high-pressure plan, no upsell — just honest care and a doctor who tells you the truth about what you need.
If the question on your mind is not here, just call us — we would rather answer it now than have you guess.
Most new patients notice a meaningful change inside two to four visits. Chronic, long-standing issues take longer — we will give you an honest read after the first exam, not a generic 24-visit plan.
A massage works on muscle and soft tissue. An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement of a specific joint to restore motion and reduce nerve irritation. Both have a place; we often use them in the same visit.
Yes — when done by a chiropractor trained to work on kids. Pediatric adjustments are remarkably gentle, often nothing more than fingertip pressure. Dr. Dan treats infants and children every week.
It depends on what is wrong and how long it has been wrong. We do not sell prepaid packages. After your exam we will recommend a plan with a clear end-point, and we will revisit it together as you progress.
No. Chiropractors are primary-contact providers in Florida. You can call us directly, no referral required.
Tell us why on the phone. There are dozens of techniques — if a high-velocity adjustment is not for you, there are gentler options that work just as well for many conditions.
Most patients describe the sound (the audible 'pop') as more startling than the sensation. The adjustment itself is quick and usually relieving. We will not surprise you — every movement is explained before it happens.
Tell us a few details and we will call you back the same business day to confirm a time. If today is urgent, please pick up the phone instead.
