The Smith Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center was established in 1999 by Doctor John Smith, a graduate of the Life University, College of Chiropractic in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Smith Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center has offered state-of-the-art chiropractic care since its inception. The 3000 square foot facility contains 5 treatment rooms, the latest equipment including x-ray, and a fully equipped physical therapy center. Over ten thousand patients have been treated for a multitude of conditions. The services available include, but are not limited to, chiropractic care, homeopathic care, acupuncture, massage therapy and physical therapy.

All of the licensed professionals at Smith Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center are trained in the evaluation and treatment of joint and spinal problems that can occur from automobile accidents, athletic injuries, job-related injuries (workers' compensation) and chronic conditions.

Dr. John Smith specializes in athletic injuries, and joint and spinal trauma. He also has extensive experience in general healthcare, pregnancy and pediatric care, and promotes a strong emphasis on family wellness.

Our Techniques

Chiropractic adjustments are used to correct structural imbalances. The structural changes may be due to tense muscles, postural deformities, and improper nerve function. The adjustment is a way to move a joint and change the tone of muscles around that joint. The change in muscular tone has a feedback loop to the rest of the nervous system. At Smith Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center we employ several different chiropractic techniques to facilitate these changes which include:

• Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) - Chiropractic Biophysics Technique can best be characterized as full spine and pelvis corrective / rehabilitative procedures having a firm foundation in the sciences of biomechanics and physics. CBP Technique integrates drop table, diversified, Toggle, and instrument-assisted “Postural Mirror Image” adjusting, exercises, and traction to correct subluxations by restoring normal spinal mechanics.

• Diversified – This technique focuses on correcting misalignments in the spine which may be causing pain and/or spasm and can cause interference to the nerves, which pass through the spine. Relieving the nerve interference can improve a broad range of health problems by improving the nervous system's ability to communicate, regulate, and coordinate healing of the body. The doctors will most likely use their hands to deliver a precise and careful thrust to correct the misalignments.

• Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) - This method identifies the connection between the base of the spine, the sacrum and the top of the spine, the cranium. Focusing on the flow and natural rhythms of spinal fluid and breathing, the practitioner can identify when these rhythms are "off" and help bring back synchrony. This is done through gentle manual adjustments and the placement of a wedge under the hips while lying down, to allow gravity to gently realign the hips and spine.

• Thompson Technique - The Thompson Technique requires the patient to lie on a special table, the length of your legs will be compared. This protocol helps determine whether the nerve interference is in your upper, middle or lower back. The special table has individual cushions or "drop pieces" that support each area of the spine until the thrust is given. Then, each drop-piece gently releases, reducing the amount of energy needed to help restore the motion and position of a specific spinal segment.
