Dr. Manny Barquero graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2022. He was deeply influenced by “Masters of Chiropractic” early in his career. While Chiropractic College was an adequate experience, he knew that there were several, more sophisticated, levels above the “status quo” care that Clients typically receive today. During college, he spent his own money between semesters and traveled to different states in order to seek out the best Chiropractors in the U.S.
“I remember being very dissatisfied with my own first Chiropractic experience,” explained Dr. Manny. “For the most part, the profession has turned into a fast-food chain where Clients spend less than 5 minutes, at best, with their Chiropractor. From personal knowledge and experience, I knew that the current status quo business model didn’t represent my vision of Chiropractic and, it definitely can’t provide a truly unique and quality experience. This is what sets Black Swan Chiropractic apart from other clinics. Our clients truly experience a unique quality of care that yields exceptional and transformational results”.
“Chiropractors today are more interested in how many Clients per week come through their doors instead of how many they have truly helped. We need to be more sophisticated in our approach,” explained Dr. Nelson Vetanze. “This opinion happens to be shared by all my Chiropractic mentors,” says Dr. Manny.
Dr. Vetanze was a tremendous influence on Dr. Manny, he was his first Chiropractic mentor and friend.
After graduation, Dr. Manny went on to apprentice under the guidance of another Master of Chiropractic in Indiana, Dr. Todd McDougle aka the “StrongmanDoc“. With 25+ years of experience in the Strongman Community, the Lead Chiropractor for “World’s Strongest Man” competitions, and a multitude of other amazing accolades he has stacked up throughout his career, Dr. Todd has truly established himself as one of the best sports Chiropractors on the planet. He is also a scoliosis specialist and treats extremely complex cases in his practice.
“My apprentice and professional experiences were very powerful and enlightening. I attended a multitude of Professional Sports Competitions in which I was not only a spectator and student but later, went on to become one of a select few attending Sports Chiropractors during these events. The number of difficult cases I have experienced in the office and during professional athletic competitions is what sets me apart from other Chiropractors,” explains Dr. Manny.
It was during these fabulous experiences that Dr. Manny learned that to be a great Chiropractor. “One has to accept that the road to success will be very challenging. The profession demands tremendous attention to detail, the ability to remain humble, the willingness to keep learning and improving, and most importantly of all—grit. It is not meant for the faint of heart, nor is it meant for those doctors who only strive for monetary gain. We all have to take the time to learn from and honor the giants in our profession”, says Dr. Manny.
The dedication for providing quality Chiropractic also stems from an immense moral conviction that was also shared by his mentors. Dr. Manny strives to find the source of a musculoskeletal imbalance for every Client. “Most often, the symptomatic pain in a particular part of the body, is compensatory and not where the true problem resides. Focusing on finding and correcting structural imbalances is the key to the transformational and lasting success my Clients experience,” states the doctor.
Aside from providing a more advanced and refined approach to Chiropractic care, Black Swan Chiropractic also provides refreshing, simple and effective techniques that help his Clients improve their daily habits. Careful attention to detail on more elusive components like posture, breathing and gait patterns are also brought to light. “Over time, and whether we realize it or not, we tend to cause our own imbalances and therefore musculoskeletal issues,” states the doctor. “If we can develop better body awareness, we can vastly improve our overall joint stability and longevity. This is the fantastic vision I have for all my Clients!
Dr. Manny is also passionate about educating his Clients on practical and straightforward ways of helping the body recover on a cellular level. Understanding how different environmental conditions can harm or help the cells of our body is another vital component that is rarely discussed in the healthcare profession. “As Chiropractors, we have to know as much as we can about the body, especially the nervous system. We always have to keep learning so that we can provide the best possible care for our clients. This is why I have gravitated towards learning from the top neurosurgeons and other healthcare professionals and scientists on the planet who are revolutionizing the way we look at the current state of the healthcare profession and its outdated theories and methods of treatment. Diving into these subject areas has allowed me to help my Clients on a much broader and more complete level”, explains Dr. Manny.

“In addition to receiving great Chiropractic care, the greatest value that Black Swan Chiropractic provides for their Clients is “TIME”. It is the most precious asset in our short time on this earth. Recognizing that with practical knowledge, every Clients can learn better habits and with minimal daily effort, we can all achieve a much-improved quality of life along with longevity. This is truly my aspiration for all my Clients.”
