Chiropractor serving Palmetto, FL
Trusted chiropractic care for Palmetto
About 30 minutes (22 miles) from our Sarasota office
From the historic downtown grid along the Manatee River to the waterfront at Regatta Pointe and the preserves out on Snead Island, Palmetto has a settled, small-city feel — and it’s about 22 miles north of our Sarasota office, a straight shot down I-75.
Because US-41 and US-301 converge here and cross a busy bridge into Bradenton, we see plenty of Palmetto patients recovering from crashes with whiplash, neck pain, or back pain. Dr. Hornberger starts every case with a thorough exam and, when needed, digital X-rays, then lays out a specific plan.
From gentle chiropractic adjustments to non-surgical spinal decompression and complete auto-accident care, Palmetto residents have access to everything we offer with an easy drive down the interstate. We’d be glad to help you recover.
Proudly serving: Historic Palmetto, Riviera Dunes, Terra Ceia, Sanctuary Cove, Artisan Lakes, Willow Walk, Rubonia, Sugar Mill Lakes.
Local, trusted care
Why Palmetto chooses Sarasota Auto Injury Clinic
Palmetto sits where US-41 and US-301 come together and funnel across the Hernando de Soto Bridge into Bradenton — a high-volume choke point that, along with the busy shopping traffic near the Ellenton Premium Outlets, keeps rear-end and intersection crashes common. Because the city skews older, those collisions often lead to whiplash and slower soft-tissue recovery, exactly the kind of auto injury we focus on. Getting seen early protects both your recovery and your injury documentation.
Whether you live in historic downtown Palmetto by the Manatee River, in waterfront communities like Riviera Dunes, Terra Ceia, and Sanctuary Cove, or in newer subdivisions like Artisan Lakes and Willow Walk, Dr. Hornberger builds a clear, drug-free plan around your injuries while the team handles the PIP and insurance paperwork. Many Palmetto residents already commute south into Sarasota, so a clinic just off I-75 Exit 207 fits right into the routine.
