Dr. Carly Cunningham

Chiropractor · Sarasota — Southgate

A former competitive gymnast, Dr. Cunningham grew up learning what it takes to keep a body strong, balanced and resilient under pressure, and she brings that same attention to detail to every patient she sees. Her focus is holistic healing, exercise science, and biomechanics: how the whole body moves together rather than one sore joint in isolation, and how to keep it moving that way for the long run.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about plans, insurance, your first visit, and the New Patient Special at Circle Chiropractic.
Do You Offer Chiropractic Plans or Memberships?
At Circle Chiropractic, every treatment plan is unique and personalized to treat the underlying or root causes of pain or mobility issues. Many of our patients choose an ongoing cadence and treatment plan that ensures ongoing wellness, mobility, preventative care, and pain relief.
Does Circle Chiropractic Have Other Florida Locations?
Yes. Circle Chiropractic now has three Suncoast clinics: Sarasota (Southgate), Lakewood Ranch and Wellen Park. All are the same award-winning practice that has served Sarasota for over 20 years. Choose the location that's most convenient for you. Every Circle Chiropractic clinic provides the same exceptional experience, personalized care, and advanced treatment options.
  • Sarasota (Southgate)
  • Lakewood Ranch (Bradenton)
  • Wellen Park (Venice/North Port)
Appointment availability may vary by location, so we'll help you find the earliest appointment that fits your schedule. No matter which clinic you choose, you can expect the same commitment to outstanding care and results.
How Long Is a Typical First Appointment?
Most new chiropractic patient visits take 30 minutes, provided your paperwork is completed before you arrive. If you're coming in for Spinal Decompression Therapy, plan for approximately 60 minutes, as this evaluation is more comprehensive. Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation, time to discuss your health concerns and goals, and a clear explanation of your personalized care recommendations. Follow-up visits are much shorter and designed to fit easily into your schedule.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe?
Yes – Chiropractic care is a proven, safe, non-invasive, drug-free approach designed to help restore proper movement, reduce stress on the nervous system, and support your body's natural ability to heal. At Circle Chiropractic, your safety comes first. Our doctors take time to understand your health history, symptoms, goals, and comfort level before recommending care. Every adjustment and treatment plan is personalized to your body—not a one-size-fits-all approach. With over 20 years of experience, our team uses skilled, specific techniques and advanced technology to help patients feel confident, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. Have concerns? Schedule your first visit, and we'll walk you through everything before any care begins.
Do You Accept Insurance?
Circle Chiropractic does not accept insurance and is a self-pay practice, which allows us to provide the highest level of personalized care without insurance restrictions, referrals, or limitations on your treatment options. We offer straightforward, affordable self-pay pricing, and many patients find our costs to be comparable to—or even less than—their insurance copays and deductibles. If you have Medicare, we are non-participating (non-PAR). Medicare may reimburse you only for covered chiropractic adjustments during medically necessary acute care, but it does not cover maintenance or wellness care. Our team will gladly explain how Medicare reimbursement works during your visit.
What's Included in the New Patient Special?
Your New Patient Chiropractic Special at Circle Chiropractic includes everything you need to discover the root cause of your problem and determine the best path to recovery. Your visit includes:
  • One-on-one consultation with one of our doctors
  • Comprehensive neurological and postural evaluation
  • Thorough chiropractic examination
  • Digital X-rays (if clinically necessary) with a detailed review of your findings
  • Your first chiropractic adjustment, spinal decompression session, or SoftWave Therapy treatment (based on your condition)
Call any of our clinics for current new-patient pricing and availability.
