When you’re dealing with back pain, neck stiffness, headaches, or any number of other issues that bring people to a chiropractor, you want someone who knows what they’re doing and takes the time to understand your specific situation. For Dunedin residents, finding that combination of expertise and personalized attention doesn’t require driving across the county. LiveWell Chiropractic Health Center is just minutes away in Clearwater, offering the kind of thorough, results-focused care that actually gets to the root of the problem.
Dr. Travis Fisher chose the Dunedin and Clearwater area specifically when relocating his family from Singapore. After spending over eight years building an award-winning practice overseas, he wanted to put down roots in a community that values health, family, and quality of life. That personal investment in the area shapes how he approaches patient care—this isn’t just where he works, it’s home.
What Sets Quality Chiropractic Care Apart
Not every chiropractor operates the same way. Some focus on quick adjustments and high patient volume. Others take a more comprehensive approach. Understanding the difference helps you find care that actually delivers lasting results.
Thorough Assessment Before Treatment
A good chiropractor doesn’t start adjusting before they understand what’s going on. That means taking a detailed history, performing a physical examination, evaluating posture and movement patterns, and sometimes taking X-rays to see what’s happening structurally.
At LiveWell, we have on-site spinal X-ray capabilities, which allows us to get a clear picture before recommending any treatment. This isn’t about running up costs—it’s about making sure we’re addressing the actual problem rather than guessing.
Root Cause Focus
Here’s something that surprises some patients: where you feel pain isn’t always where the problem originates. Sciatica that shoots down your leg often stems from compression in the lower spine. Headaches frequently trace back to tension in the neck. Shoulder pain can relate to thoracic spine issues.
A chiropractor worth seeing looks beyond the symptom to find the source. That’s how you get results that last instead of temporary relief that fades in a few days.
Individualized Treatment Plans
Your body, your history, your lifestyle, your goals—all of these should inform your care. A construction worker with lower back pain needs a different approach than a desk-bound professional with the same complaint. A weekend cyclist has different demands on their body than someone who’s mostly sedentary.
We build treatment plans around the individual, not around a standard protocol. That might mean adjustments combined with specific rehabilitation exercises, lifestyle modifications, or therapies like spinal decompression depending on what your situation calls for.
Common Reasons Dunedin Residents Seek Chiropractic Care
People come to us for all kinds of reasons. Some are dealing with acute injuries. Others have chronic issues they’ve lived with for years. And some simply want to maintain their health and prevent problems from developing. Here’s what we see most often.
Back Pain
Back pain remains the number one reason people visit chiropractors, and for good reason—it responds well to chiropractic treatment in many cases. Whether it’s a dull ache that’s been building for months or a sharp pain that started yesterday, we can evaluate what’s causing it and recommend an appropriate course of care.
Lower back pain gets the most attention, but we also treat mid-back and upper back issues. The causes vary widely: poor posture, disc problems, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, or a combination of factors.
Neck Pain and Stiffness
Modern life is tough on necks. Hours spent looking at screens, sleeping in awkward positions, stress-related tension—it all accumulates. Neck pain can range from mild annoyance to debilitating, and it often brings friends like headaches and shoulder tightness along for the ride.
Chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine, combined with attention to posture and ergonomics, can make a significant difference for chronic neck issues.
Headaches and Migraines
Many people don’t realize that headaches can originate from problems in the neck and upper spine. Tension headaches especially tend to respond well to chiropractic care. Even some migraine sufferers find that addressing spinal issues reduces the frequency or intensity of their episodes.
If you’ve been managing headaches with medication and not getting to the bottom of why they keep happening, it might be worth exploring whether a structural component is involved.
Auto Accident Injuries
Car accidents—even minor ones—can cause injuries that don’t show symptoms right away. Whiplash is the classic example. The adrenaline from an accident can mask pain, and soft tissue damage sometimes takes days or weeks to fully manifest.
If you’ve been in an accident recently, getting evaluated sooner rather than later is smart. Early treatment typically leads to better outcomes than waiting until problems become entrenched.
Sports and Activity-Related Issues
Dunedin’s location makes it easy to stay active. The Pinellas Trail runs right through town. Honeymoon Island and Caladesi are minutes away. There’s golf, tennis, cycling, kayaking, and everything in between.
All that activity is great for your health, but it also puts demands on your body. We work with athletes and active individuals to address injuries, optimize performance, and keep minor issues from becoming major setbacks.
Dr. Fisher’s Background and Approach
Credentials matter when you’re trusting someone with your health. Dr. Fisher brings over 15 years of clinical experience, including eight years founding and operating Genesis Chiropractic in Singapore. He served on the board of the Alliance of Chiropractic Singapore and has been recognized as one of the “Best Chiropractors in Clearwater” for six consecutive years across two clinics.
His training goes well beyond the standard chiropractic degree. He holds a Lifestyle Medicine certification from Harvard Medical School and has completed over 300 hours of postgraduate education in spinal rehabilitation, postural transformation, kinesiology, and modern exercise science. Specialized certifications from The Clear Institute and Pettibon add expertise in scoliosis treatment.
What does all that mean practically? It means you’re getting care informed by extensive experience and ongoing education. Dr. Fisher has seen a wide range of cases across different populations and stays current with evolving techniques and research.
His philosophy centers on results built on a foundation of trust. That means honest assessments, clear explanations of what he’s finding and recommending, and treatment focused on what will actually help you—not on maximizing visits or selling unnecessary services.

Getting to LiveWell from Dunedin
Our office is located at 25749 US Hwy 19 N in Clearwater, inside the Ortho Integrative Medicine Institute at Cypress Point Shopping Center. From downtown Dunedin, you’re looking at roughly 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Head south on Alt 19 or cut over to US-19—either way, it’s a straightforward drive.
That proximity makes it realistic to fit appointments into your routine, whether that’s during a lunch break, before work, or on your way home. Consistency matters with chiropractic care, so having a convenient location helps you stick with your treatment plan.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
If you haven’t been to a chiropractor before, or if it’s been a while, here’s how we structure initial visits.
Consultation — We start by talking. What brought you in? How long has it been going on? What makes it better or worse? What have you tried? What are you hoping to achieve? This conversation guides everything that follows.
Examination — Dr. Fisher will assess your posture, range of motion, spinal alignment, and any specific areas of concern. Depending on your situation, X-rays may be recommended.
Findings and recommendations — Before any treatment, we explain what we’ve found and what we recommend. You’ll understand the reasoning behind the plan, not just be handed a schedule of appointments.
Treatment — If appropriate, we can begin care the same day. This might include adjustments, soft tissue work, or other therapies based on your needs.
We also offer a free initial consultation for those who want to discuss their concerns before committing to an examination. It’s a low-pressure way to find out if we’re a good fit for what you’re dealing with.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No. You can schedule directly with our office without a referral from another provider. Many patients come to us as their first stop for musculoskeletal issues.
How many visits will I need?
This depends entirely on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and your goals. Some issues resolve quickly. Others, especially chronic conditions, require more time. We’ll give you an honest estimate after your initial evaluation and adjust as we see how you respond to care.
Is chiropractic treatment painful?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable or even relieving. You might hear some popping sounds—that’s normal and just gas releasing from the joints. Some soreness after treatment is possible, similar to what you might feel after a workout, but significant pain is uncommon.
Can chiropractic care help with conditions other than back pain?
Absolutely. While back pain is common, we also treat neck pain, headaches, sciatica, hip pain, arthritis-related discomfort, sports injuries, auto accident injuries, and more. If you’re unsure whether your issue is something we can help with, just ask.
