“This place is God sent for me....Dr. James is truly the kindest doctor that I have seen...He takes his time with his patients and also really listens....Great place!”Dana Rizzo, Google
Once Dr. Smith adjusted me... my muscles relaxed and though I was still a bit sore... 2 days later I was 100%. ... He is very thorough and knowledgeable... he examined areas no one has ever taken the time to look at.
Family-owned since 1977
Two doctors named Smith, one address.
The goal, in the practice’s own words: to give every patient “our positive attitude, helpful nature, and healing hands.”

Can chiropractic help me?
Often, yes, and the first conversation costs nothing. These are the tools the doctors reach for, from a hands-on adjustment to a light instrument impulse for patients who prefer a gentler touch.
Instrument adjusting
Activator treatment
A hand-held instrument delivers a light, quick impulse, a gentle option for infants, seniors and anyone who dislikes the twist.
Imaging
X-rays
Films taken when the exam calls for them, so the doctor can see alignment, disc spaces and old injuries before adjusting.
Soft tissue
Therapeutic ultrasound
Deep, gentle heating of sore muscle and tendon with an ultrasound applicator and gel, often paired with an adjustment.
Motion table
Segmental traction
Lying on a motorized roller table that gently moves each segment of the spine, a warm-up that loosens stiff backs.
After a wreck
Auto accident and personal injury care
Exam, x-rays and a documented care plan for whiplash and other injuries after a car accident or personal injury.
Since 1977
The same brick building on South Baxter, the same family inside.
Your first visit starts with a health history and an exam, x-rays only when the exam calls for them, and a report of findings before any course of care is recommended.
