With years of experience, Dr. Smith will analyze your body and create a custom pain relief and rehabilitation plan to benefit your health.

Chiropractic can get you there. Chiropractic has become one of the go-to non-surgical treatments for musculoskeletal conditions and spinal-related injuries to patients of all ages. Common conditions include mechanical neck and low back pain, disc bulges and herniations, cervicogenic headaches, sciatica, numbness to the extremities, auto accidents, and sports-related injuries.
If you are looking to tackle your health and get relief soon, your best option is to schedule your initial consultation soon. We strive to get patients in on the same day or next, as there is no reason to suffer.
Pain-Free?
Here’s Why Chiropractic Still Helps
Chiropractic care isn’t just for people in pain. Many people seek chiropractic care on a maintenance or preventative basis. If your spinal joints don’t maintain the necessary movement then disc nerves can get pinched, herniated or bulged. It can only lead to an increase in wear and tear, leading to an increase in degenerative conditions. With chiropractic adjustment, you can give your body the best opportunity to prevent this. Proper alignment reduces the risk of injury and generally increases mobility. This often can lead to lower health care costs.
- Mechanical Neck and Lower Back Pain: These pains often occur without significant trauma. They often build up over time from poor body mechanics and poor posture.
- Sciatica: Sciatica is nerve root irritation in the lower back that causes pain or numbness down the leg. The nerve root can be irritated by a variety of causes, whether it be disc or facet irritation. Piriformis syndrome often presents like sciatic pain but the entrapment of the nerve will occur between two heads of the piriformis and over the sacroiliac joint.
- Headaches: Headaches can range from mild to debilitating. The root cause of headaches often is triggered by neck misalignments or muscular tightness at the base of the skull.
- Disc Bulges and Herniations: Disc injuries can present in a variety of manners, whether its localized pain, radiating pain or numbness, or even weakness. Treating the root cause rather than chasing the symptoms can cause long-term relief.
- Degenerative Arthritis: Having arthritis doesn’t mean having to live with chronic pain and restrictions. Keeping the joints mobile and the nerve pathways open can lead to a better quality of life.
- Auto-Accident / Whiplash: Trauma related injuries can turn into chronic conditions if not addressed in a timely manner and treated appropriately. Thorough workups and chiropractic treatment will lead to getting back to
- Sports-related Injuries: Sprains/strains and other musculoskeletal injuries can keep us from performing our best. Acute care and maintenance treatments can keep you on the golf course, field, or track.
- Sacroiliac Pain: Many lower back symptoms are often cause by irritation of the sacroiliac joint. The sacroiliac joint links the pelvis and the spine.
- Chiropractic Adjustment / Manipulation: Designed to relieve vertebral subluxations, essentially the vertebral joint’s alignment, motion, and function. Vertebral subluxations can affect the biomechanical and neural integrity, which can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness.
- Spinal Traction / Decompression: Uses non-surgical decompression to gently stretch the spine, reducing pressure on the affected discs and nerves. The reduction in pressure allows for improved circulation, nutrient exchange, and the retraction of bulging or herniated discs. The result is a reduction in pain, increased mobility, and the ability to engage in daily activities with greater ease.
- Therapeutic Exercises: Serve a variety of functions. Stretching can relieve pressure on the joints and muscles. Strengthening will provide more support to the joints and discs making the re-occurrence of pain less likely. Additionally, exercise can lead to quicker recovery times.
- Occipital Release: Focuses on releasing the fascia or muscle surrounding the base of the skull. The primary benefit is headache relief, but can additionally help with pain, stiffness, tension, or even TMJ.
- Active Release / Trigger Point Therapy: A soft issue method focusing on relieving the tissue tension via removal of adhesions/fibrosis which often is a result of an overload due to repetitive use. These disorders can cause muscle aches, weakness, numbness, tingling, or burning sensation.
- Electrical Muscle Stimulation: An excellent method of helping the body deal with spasms, sprains, and issues related to soft tissues. This therapy accomplishes this with a very low simulated frequency that is put on the soft tissue. Additionally, this therapy stimulates the body's natural healing method by helping it to produce natural pain-killing endorphins.
- Ultrasound Therapy: Used to heal soft tissue injuries and muscle spasms. The effect of ultrasound is to vibrate and massage the tissue to facilitate that body natural healing and to decrease scar formation. The healing will begin at the cellular level.
- Extremity Adjusting: Adjustments aren’t just for the spine. Increasing mobility of extremity joints such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or ankles, can increase joint mobility and relieve nerve impingement.
