Chiropractor in Venice, FL
Our two-doctor practice sits at 571 US 41 Bypass North, on the loop road that wraps Venice Island. We start from the idea that health depends on a properly functioning nervous system, so a first visit is a full history and exam, and any care that follows is aimed at the underlying cause in the spine rather than the pain alone.

A planned city, and where our office fits in it
Venice was laid out on purpose. Dr. Fred Albee first hired planner John Nolen, and when the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers bought the land in 1925 they kept Nolen on to finish the city plan. The first streets and utilities went in during 1925 and 1926, and the city took its present name in 1927. Northern Italian styling, with arcades and red tile roofs, still marks the Venice Avenue downtown, and the railroad depot at 303 East Venice Avenue, built for the engineers and opened in March 1927, is now the starting point of the Legacy Trail.
Getting around is straightforward. I-75 exit 193 delivers you to Jacaranda Boulevard, Laurel Road (CR 762) ties US 41 to the interstate in the north end of the city, Venice Avenue runs east to west, and the US 41 Bypass, where we are, circles Venice Island. Dr. Sierra is a Venice native who also volunteers with Women's Sertoma, and our team gives talks and screenings at local businesses, churches and schools.

Venice chiropractor FAQs
How do I get to your office from I-75?
Take I-75 exit 193, which is Jacaranda Boulevard (CR 765) and is signed for Venice, and head into town. Venice Avenue (CR 772) is the city's main east-west road, and the US 41 Bypass is the loop road around Venice Island.

I walk or bike the Legacy Trail. Should I mention that at my first visit?
