John R. Chait was born in Cleveland in 1958. He moved to Sarasota in 1973, and graduated from Riverview High School in 1976. After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree from Manatee Community College, John graduated from Life University in Marietta, Georgia, with a Doctorate in Chiropractic. Dr. Chait's chiropractic practice specializes in postural chiropractic care, and he is certified in the Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) technique.
When I first came to see Dr. John, I had chronic pain and stiffness in my neck and upper back. The pain and numbness had moved into my arm. The cause of my symptoms was from a condition called Forward Head Posture, degenerative over a long period of time. Since I have been treating with Dr. John the pain has decreased.
Chiropractic is the science, philosophy and art of restoring balance within the body. It is a drugless, knife-less, natural and holistic approach to relieve pain, restore health and even prolong life.

The science of chiropractic is based on the fact that your nervous system is the master system that controls and coordinates every other system in your body including the glandular, reproductive, digestive, respiratory, circulatory and immune systems.The nervous system is the mechanism by which life energy is transported and conveyed throughout your body.
Dr. Chait is trained in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology. He was educated by the Spine Research Institute of San Diego. Graduates of this program have received the most in-depth, science-based training available today. The program covers the entire spectrum from the physics of auto accidents to human biomechanics to diagnostics and management.
Chait Chiropractic Center has a strong presence in the community and is looking for more opportunities to partner with wellness and health-focused initiatives. We would like to support or sponsor any future events that you might see a fit. Dr. Chait also offers a free lecture series covering a variety of topics to include: age-related diseases, posture and balance to name a few.

Dr. Chait has supported me through a half a full Ironman competition - and through 60 hour work weeks. Can't say enough good things about this clinic. I LOVE the in-office exercises that help my adjustments last longer. And I especially love the knee adjustments, too! Thank you, thank you, thank you Team Chait Chiropractic! You're amazing!

Dr. Chait and his exemplary team of professionals gave me my life back! Several months ago I woke up to extreme pain running down my right hip to my foot. I was unable to function-unable to sit, walk or sleep. I went to a local orthopedic surgeon who did an x-ray of my spine and told me there was nothing he could do -no shots, no medication, no surgery, and that the way my back looked, he’d be afraid for me to even see a chiropractor. I left his office without hope, crying and thinking that my once active life was forever over. The following day I went to see Dr. John Chait. After reviewing my

Best chiropractor I've ever been to. Is actually FIXING my neck and scoliosis and saw HUGE results very quickly. I came in with severe back pain, falling down all the time, and within a couple of weeks I had no more pain. They are upfront about all costs, time needed for improvements, and treat you like family. Highly recommend!!!

Dr. Chait deserves my time to write a worthy review.
I am enjoying this christmas season and every day so much more than I can remember.
I believe this to be because I am out of the mind numbing and soul robbing neck pain I have suffered with for over 30 years.
I had all but given up that I would ever free myself from this pain..
In comes Dr Chait. Without he and his family, I'm certain I would still be in misery.
I have found most doctors don't take you seriously unless you have some tangible, visible ailment. They don't seem to understand how pain can be so severe, when one looks okay from

Dr. Chait is a great chiropractor who really has helped with my neck and shoulder pain! He gave me the tools to work on it at home as well as the adjustments and traction proven to heal these types of things. I highly recommend him.

I have been going to chiropractors for over 20 years. If my back felt out of line or I had discomfort or pain I would get an adjustment for relief and feel better until the next time.
Having recently moved to the Sarasota area, I discovered Dr Chait’s practice. I made my first appointment expecting just more of the same. A quick adjustment and on my way. Talking with Dr Chait it became clear that he was working at a very different level to anyone else I have seen. Dr Chait specializes in structural rehabilitation of the spine and posture using techniques which very few other chiropractors are

I’ve been going to Dr. Chait’s practice for the past several years. He has helped me immensely with my neck and back issues. Last week I went in with a lot of pain in my lower back. My pain level was at a 5 out of 10. As soon as Dr. Chait adjusted me, I felt much better and my pain went from a 5 to a 1. I was truly surprised about that level of of improvement.
Additionally, Dr. Chait, Cindy, Kelly, and Nicole are all a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommend practice!

Dr. Chait, Cindy, and their entire staff are simply the best. I have been to many chiropractors over the years and most are able to provide temporary relief, but nothing long term. Dr. Chait was able to identify why my back was hurting, explain it to me clearly and concisely, and prescribe a plan of action that ultimately led to the issue being resolved and feeling better than I have in years. They are great at what they do, but they are also wonderful people that are so down to earth and very personable. I HIGHLY recommend Chait Chiropractic!

Love Dr Chait and his office staff. It's such a welcoming environment and they're so committed to helping you relieve back pain while correcting your posture for long term.

I didn't feel like this was a crack a back processing center, but a recovery facility with personalized care specific to what I needed.

Highly recommended if you have any back pain or want to correct your posture bc it will eventually catch up to you.

I am SO grateful for Dr. Chait's wonderful staff and his conscientious approach to chiropractic! He is methodical and patient, and includes many different exercises in order to assist in the fastest healing possible. Kelly and Cindy were both fabulous and friendly. Kelly did a fabulous job of explaining why and how to do the exercises Dr. Chait prescribed. And his chiropractic touch is excellent - quick and effective. Thank you!

Dr. Chait truly cares about his patients' posture well-being. Through continued high-tech assessment, I can see where I am compared to where I was when I first started with his practice. I still have a ways to go but am much better. "Text neck" and computer work is so damaging, if we allow it to be. Dr. Chait's wife Cindy is great about reminding… me that it's time for a visit plus her bubbly personality makes you want to stop in just for a feel good chat. The doctor combines chiropractic with physical therapy/traction (thank you Kelly) to further one's progress. What a difference that makes

John is very knowledgeable and understanding of your needs. After an auto accident I needed relief from neck pain and he was fantastic at doing just that. I would recommend him to anyone no matter the age as he has even adjusted my baby. The entire practice is friendly and treats you like family.

After double total knee replacement I had back issues that I had never experienced before. Through weekly adjustments and a specific exercise routine, I can honestly say I am pain free once again. Now I go for maintenance adjustments, traction and posture correction. The office staff are friendly and extremely competent as well. Overall a very positive experience.

He listens to your concerns, explains what is going on and why you are experiencing pain. He tells you what he can do and corrects the problem. VERY COMPASSIONATE & CARING. I highly Recommend Mr. Chait if you are experiencing pain. I drove 1 hour to get adjusted by Dr. Chait.

I am down from NY for the month and need a simple neck adjustment. They were cagey on the phone about the price. So I went and they took photos of me to see my misalignment. Insisted I need X-rays to get adjusted. Total bill $135. What a racket. I go to a chiropractor every week at home and just need my neck cracked. Not for that price! No wonder they wouldn't tell me how much over the phone. What a waste of my time. Hopefully I can find a reasonably priced chiropractor before I go home. This one certainly isn't!

Eighteen years ago I moved to Sarasota, FL. About 3 months after my move I severely injured my back. I opened up the yellow pages and he was the only one who would see me right away despite not being an active patient of his. So grateful, I literally crawled into his office. After a completely "no pain" manipulation, I literally walked out of his office and I continue to return at this moment in time for "maintenance visits" only. No more acute flare-ups! His approach is always preventive and proactive. He will spend time teaching and explaining to you and you will never feel rushed. His office
