Sarasota is a hub for health-conscious families and high-performers, and at Vertical Chiropractic, we are honored to be recognized as a leader in this community. We have officially been named a finalist for the 2026 Small Business of the Year by the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce.

This recognition comes during a period of exponential growth for our practice—moving from a relocation startup to a local authority with over 115% revenue growth from 2024 to 2025. But for us, “Small Business of the Year” isn’t about the numbers; it’s about the measurable impact we make on the health and resilience of the Sarasota community.

A Scientific Approach to Sarasota Wellness

At Vertical Chiropractic, we have redefined chiropractic care in Sarasota by moving away from short-term symptom relief and toward measurable structural correction. Our clinic is a premier destination for those seeking the Gonstead Method, a highly specific biomechanical approach that identifies the source of structural subluxations through advanced digital imaging and hands-on assessment.

Our specialized services include:

  • Adult Corrective Chiropractic & Spinal Health: Long-term programs for lasting resilience.
  • Extremity Adjusting: Precision care for shoulders, knees, feet, and TMJ.
  • Sports Performance: Helping local athletes and active adults reach peak optimization.
  • Pediatric & Perinatal Care: Utilizing the Webster technique to support Sarasota families.

Leadership Through Discipline and Growth

Our journey to this nomination was one of resilience. After 17 years of practice in California, Dr. Bobby Fano relocated to Sarasota to rebuild from the ground up. By choosing to “become a student again,” he transformed the practice from early-stage instability to a platinum-award winning clinic recognized for clinical mastery.

Our management philosophy—“How we do anything is how we do everything”—ensures that every patient interaction is handled with integrity, preparation, and excellence.

Giving Back to the Gulf Coast

We believe a business’s success should be measured by what it pours back into its community. Vertical Chiropractic supports Sarasota through:

  • Education: Hosting free wellness workshops for local organizations like HealthFit and Suncoast Porsche.
  • Mentorship: Providing internships for USF Sarasota-Manatee students to develop the next generation of healthcare leaders.
  • Philanthropy: Supporting local and global causes, including Feeding America, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, and the Tanzania Life Project.
  • Innovation: Leading the way in sustainable healthcare with paperless systems and eco-friendly products like EcoCraft recycled paper and algae-based wellness tools.

Celebrating with the Sarasota Chamber

We invite our patients and partners to join us as the winners are announced on June 26th, 2026, at The Ora. Whether we take home the trophy or not, we remain committed to our goal: positioning Sarasota as one of Florida’s top health and wellness destinations.
