The Body Shop Chiropractic and Wellness

A first visit with a defined scope

Kyle and Sarah Ward practice at 790 Fourth Avenue South, close to downtown St. Petersburg. Their office does something especially useful for someone comparing care: it publishes both the time and the contents of the first appointment. The 45-minute new-patient visit costs $150 and includes history taking, neurological and orthopedic examination, a report of findings and treatment. A reader can therefore distinguish the examination from a brief return adjustment before spending money or arranging time away from work.

What the later appointments cost

The practice lists a $60 standard visit of 15 minutes for established patients with one area of complaint or a wellness appointment. A $100 premium visit is 30 minutes and is designed for two or more areas; a 20-minute full shockwave session is separately listed at $100. The published description says shockwave is not included in a standard appointment, while a premium visit may include a half-session if needed. These distinctions matter if a proposed series combines adjustment, soft-tissue work and another modality: the first-visit fee alone will understate its eventual cost.

Two clinicians and a broader menu

The Ward clinicians describe hands-on adjustments, instrument-based lower-force adjustments, cupping, soft-tissue techniques and dry needling among their offerings. Sarah Ward's biography says she added dry-needling and acupuncture certification in 2025. That does not mean every service is appropriate for every patient; the relevant choice is the clinician and appointment type matched to the assessment. The website shows photographs of the actual office and names both practitioners, rather than presenting an anonymous regional brand. Recent customer accounts describe listening and careful attention. We treat those descriptions as service experiences, not as evidence of medical effect.
