He is certified in selective Functional Movement Assessment (sFMA). He is also a ASCA Level II swimming coach and has been a contributor to Splash magazine (USA Swimming’s membership Magazine).

"Patients who received chiropractic or physical therapy had lower total health care costs and were less likely to have surgery than demographically similar Wellmark members who did not receive such services, and overall, 89% of all patients receiving physical medicine services reported improvement of at least 30% within 30 days." Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield 2008 Physical Medicine Pilot on Quality, August, 2009.
Tennis Elbow
Shoulder Pain

Back Pain
Manual Therapy
"The preponderance of the evidence for efficacy, including recent high-quality trials, and the estimated very low risk of serious adverse events support spinal manipulative therapy and mobilization as viable options for the treatment of chronic low back pain. Spinal manipulative therapy and mobilization are at least as effective as other efficacious and commonly used interventions." The Spine Journal, February, 2008.
TMJ Dysfunction
"As a patient, I am surely a challenge. I had polio as a child, ACL surgery as an adult, and I was recently diagnosed with TMJ dysfunction. Yet, no matter what the ailment, Dr. Swensen has the chiropractic cure. As he goes to work realigning my spine, relaxing my tightened joints, untying my knotted muscles, and easing my pain, I begin to feel like a new person. I may enter Dr. Swensen's office as a broken patient, but I always leave feeling better, stronger, and more balanced."
