- Arthritis
- CryotherapyPhysiotherapies help to compliment manual therapy by reducing muscle tension/spasm, inflammation/swelling, and pain/tenderness, while preparing the body to positively respond to the manual therapies. Physiotherapies that we offer include electrical stimulation therapy, ultrasound, cryotherapy (ice), and moist heat.
- Kidney StonesThe back is a complicated structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to back pain. While sports injuries or accidents can cause back pain, sometimes the simplest of movements-for example, picking up a pencil from the floor- can have painful results. In addition, arthritis, poor posture, obesity, and psychological stress can cause or complicate back pain. Back pain can also directly result from disease of the internal organs, such as kidney stones, kidney infections, blood clots, or bone loss.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- UltrasoundIn a healthcare environment when you seem to pay more and get less, I continue to provide beneficial services that many other chiropractors have cut. Therapies that make patients more comfortable and prepare the body for manual treatments, such as moist heat, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and myofascial treatments are routinely provided to patients to help maximize the effectiveness of treatment.

- SciaticaSciatica is a very common condition. The vast majority of people with sciatica do not need surgery. If you have sciatica or think you have sciatica, then it is important to get examined and treated right away. Any nerve condition, like sciatica, has a greater chance of recovering when treated at or near the onset of symptoms. Most sciatica responds well to conservative care. Dr. Smith can help you determine if surgery is an appropriate treatment option.
- WhiplashWhiplash injuries are injuries to the cervical spine or neck and are commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents. Quite often whiplash involves injury to the joints and soft tissue of the cervical spine which, if left untreated, could become chronic. These injuries tend to respond well to chiropractic treatment. It is important, if you have suffered a whiplash injury, to begin treatment as soon as possible. Early treatment intervention can be critical in shortening recovery time and helping to ensure a full recovery.
- Sports MedicineDr. Smith specializes in the management and treatment of spinal pain, nerve related pain and injuries to related joints of the upper and lower extremities such as the hip, knee, foot, shoulder, and arm. As a chiropractic physician, he employs a conservative approach to treating musculoskeletal pain. This type of treatment is a safe and very effective alternative to more invasive treatments such as prescription drugs, injections and surgery. He combines both chiropractic and physical therapy techniques in order provide patients with the most advanced conservative therapies for spine and sports injuries. We offer much more than just spinal manipulation!
- Physical TherapyChiropractic spinal manipulation is a safe and effective spine pain treatment. It reduces pain, decreases medication, rapidly advances physical therapy, and requires very few passive forms of treatment, such as bed rest.
