Services
Chiropractic Care
We offer comprehensive chiropractic treatments for pain management and wellness. Our board-certified providers use manual adjustments to improve spinal function, alleviate pain, and enhance nervous system performance. This non-invasive approach addresses musculoskeletal conditions while supporting overall health through natural healing methods.
Physical Rehabilitation
Our physical rehabilitation programs combine therapeutic exercises with chiropractic techniques. Customized plans restore mobility, strengthen muscles, and prevent re-injury. We utilize advanced methodologies like neuromuscular release and decompression traction to accelerate recovery from sports injuries, work-related accidents, and chronic conditions.
Trigger Point Injections
This targeted treatment addresses chronic muscle pain through precise injections at trigger points. Our certified practitioners administer this procedure to relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and improve range of motion for patients suffering from fibromyalgia, headaches, and myofascial pain syndromes.
Workers Compensation
We specialize in work injury rehabilitation with documentation compliant with occupational regulations. Our integrated approach combines chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and pain management to help injured workers return to their duties safely while meeting insurance requirements.
Gait & Foot Evaluation
Our biomechanical assessment identifies gait abnormalities that affect posture and spinal health. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we analyze walking patterns to create treatment plans that correct imbalances, prevent falls, and improve athletic performance through customized orthotic solutions.

Excellent chiropractor and PA. I went in because I had tingling and numbness and three of my fingers. She immediately knew something was wrong and tried treating it but referred me to get an MRI after nothing was seen on an x-ray. At the same time, I went to my primary care Doctor, Who referred me to a neurologist for a Nuro study. Neuro study returned with nothing, and I was told to see an orthopedic.
But because Doctor Smart ordered the MRI, they found a tumor lodged in the center of my spinal cord that was a ticking time bomb that would've killed me if not been found. Even with finding it, I was given minimal odds ever to walk again or if I would live through the procedure. Thanks to her unwavering strength and assistance in finding a fantastic neurosurgeon, I was able to have the tumor removed.
Now I have full mobility of my feet and partial mobility of both hands, which will Hopefully improve over time. The prognosis is I should make a full recovery. If you have any issues or you're not sure about, see Doctor Smart she's the best hands-down.

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! That's all I can say right now! I walked in hesitant but once I was encountered by her and her staff I was like ok, this might work due to their awesome/friendly energy. I went in hurting and I do mean hurting! And She and her staff had me walking out like a million bucks which is crazy because that was my first visit! they even made me feel right at home which was a plus.
I can only imagine how I will feel after my second visit etc. Thank you all and look forward to seeing you again next week! And what made it even better I was seen right away which in most cases at doctor offices rarely happens. She and her staff won't disappoint you and I highly recommend.
