Meet Dr. Bobby Koser, DC, Chiropractic Physician in Tampa
One doctor sees you. The same one, every visit.
HealthSpine Chiropractic is a one doctor office on Dale Mabry Highway in Carrollwood. You are examined before you are treated, Dr. Koser goes over what he found at that visit, and our prices are published on the pricing page. The doctor is Dr. Bobby Koser, DC, chiropractic physician.
The doctor you see is the doctor who examined you
There is one doctor at HealthSpine. He takes your history and does the examination himself, and he is the one who treats you. When you come back, the same person is in the room.
That is what makes the second visit worth something. He can tell you whether your shoulder moves further today than it did three weeks ago, because he is the one who measured it three weeks ago.
He also does his own follow-up. If a plan is not changing what he measured, he would rather change the plan than repeat it.

How he got here
My philosophy is to treat the patient, not their imaging.
“I built this practice around one-on-one visits. You see me every time, I do the examination myself, and the plan comes from what that examination finds. Before I opened here I worked inside spine surgery centers alongside neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, interventional pain physicians and anesthesiologists, reviewing complex cases and helping flag who might be a potential surgical candidate for referral and who would do better with conservative care. That work is where the examination here comes from. When your case belongs with someone else, I know who to send you to.”
Dr. Bobby Koser, DCChiropractic physician, HealthSpine Chiropractic
He was a car accident patient first
Dr. Koser was a chiropractic patient before he was a chiropractor. A hit-and-run collision while he was in college put him in a chiropractor’s office for the first time, on the receiving end of the process he now runs. Conservative care worked, and watching it work is what pointed him at the field. He is passionate about the same work today: care after a crash, recent flare-ups like sciatica, pain someone has carried for years, and general wellness care.
Where he studied
Dr. Koser earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at National University of Health Sciences in St. Petersburg. Before that he was at the University of South Florida here in Tampa, where he finished with a bachelor’s degree in microbiology and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology.
The years before this practice
- 2016 to 2017Seminole Heights Chiropractic & Wellness, Tampa
His first private practice, a boutique office in the heart of Seminole Heights, before moving to Laser Spine Institute.
- 2017 to 2019Laser Spine Institute, Tampa
On staff at an ambulatory spine surgery center, working alongside neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and interventional pain physicians. Much of the work was reading spinal MRI and CT studies and helping sort which patients were potential surgical candidates for referrals and which ones would do better with conservative care. He also ran the clinical preceptorship program there, training chiropractic interns and visiting osteopathic medical students.
- 2019 to 2021iRISE Spine and Joint, Tampa
Seeing patients and overseeing the entire interdisciplinary clinic in Tampa, a facility that housed neurosurgery, orthopedics, interventional pain, and rehabilitation under one roof.
- Since March 2021HealthSpine Chiropractic, Carrollwood
Dr. Koser’s current private practice on North Dale Mabry Highway, providing concierge chiropractic care to the greater Tampa Bay area.
Those years are the reason the examination here starts where it does. Working out which cases belong with a surgeon or a physician, and which ones respond to conservative care, was the daily job. It is the same question your first visit answers.
He also teaches
Dr. Koser has been adjunct faculty at National University of Health Sciences since 2018, precepting chiropractic interns and directing their clinical rotations. Since 2019 he has lectured for the Florida Chiropractic Physicians Association on medical error prevention, spinal MRI correlation, risk management, and evidence-based practice.
How he practices, in five steps
- He examines before he treats. A history, hands-on testing of the area that brought you in, and a neurological screen when pain travels into an arm or a leg.
- You get the findings the same day. What he found, what it means in plain words, and what he suggests doing about it.
- Treatment can start at that visit when it is appropriate for what he found.
- The price is published. Our prices are on this site, and each one is the same number in the booking system. See what a visit costs.
- Membership is optional. The plan terms are in the membership agreement. Nobody needs a membership to be seen here.
What you can be treated for here
In the office
- Chiropractic adjustmentFor the spine and the joints of the arms and legs. Start with spine care, or read the pages on low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and headaches.
- Dry needlingFor trigger points or myofascial pain, which are tender knots in muscle and the muscle pain that comes with them. Ultrasound-guided dry needling is available when the muscle in question sits deep.
- AcupunctureBooked as its own visit. Dr. Bobby Koser, DC, is a chiropractic physician certified in acupuncture by the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine.
- Care after a car crashDocumented and billed to your auto insurance under Florida PIP. See auto accident care and Florida PIP in plain English.

- Sports injuriesIn active patients and athletes, with rehabilitation aimed at returning to the activity.
- Complex spine presentationsIncluding post-surgical cases and patients carrying a diagnosis of stenosis or spondylolisthesis. He spent years triaging cases like these in surgical spine centers.
- Therapies and modalitiesLaser, electrical stimulation, traction, and cupping, offered during a visit you already have.
- Custom foot orthoticsPrescribed when the examination calls for them, alongside plantar fasciitis, joint pain, and tennis elbow.
What this office does not do
- Medication and surgery. Chiropractic physicians in Florida do not prescribe drugs and do not operate.
- X-ray and MRI on site. When the examination calls for advanced imaging, he refers you for it.
- Prepaid multi-month care packages. Memberships here are on the terms in the membership agreement. See the membership plans.
When a case belongs somewhere else
Not every problem that walks in belongs to a chiropractor, and the examination is where that shows up. You hear the answer the same day either way.
Three things move a case toward another provider. The first is a finding on the neurological screen that points to something needing a different workup. The second is a history that does not match the physical exam, which is a reason to look harder rather than to start treating. The third is time: if a reasonable trial of care is not moving the numbers he measured at the start, that is information, and it changes the plan.
When any of those turns up he tells you and refers you out, in the room, on the day he finds it.
If you are not sure which category you are in, that is what the examination is for.

Will I see the same chiropractor at every visit?
Yes. HealthSpine Chiropractic in Carrollwood, Tampa, is a one doctor office, so Dr. Bobby Koser, DC, is the person you see each time. He took your history and performed your examination, which means he can compare what he finds today against what he measured last time and change the plan when the findings change.
What happens at a first visit with Dr. Koser?
The examination comes first. He takes your history and examines the area that brought you in. When pain travels into an arm or a leg he adds a neurological screen, which checks reflexes, strength, and sensation. He goes over the findings with you the same day, and treatment can start at that visit when it is appropriate. The new patient visit is the Pain Source Exam at $195, an introductory price (regular price $330), one per patient, self-pay only. Our other prices are time-of-service rates, available when you pay in full at the visit. Care billed to a third-party payor, including auto insurance under Florida PIP, health insurance, Medicare, or workers' compensation, is billed on our standard fee schedule without either discount.
Does Dr. Koser refer patients to other providers?
Yes, and the examination is where that decision gets made. If the findings point to a problem that needs a different workup, he tells you and refers you out. Advanced imaging such as an X-ray or MRI is referred out when the examination calls for it. After a car crash, the care and the documentation are handled here and the legal decisions stay yours.
