Family-owned since 1977

A father who came home in 1977, a son who came home in 2002.

“Tyler Chiropractic was established in 1977 by Dr. James A. Smith in Tyler, Texas, where it remains today. In 2002, Dr. Justin M. Smith, son of Dr. James A. Smith, joined the team at Tyler Chiropractic.” It is still family-owned, family-operated and family-oriented, and the goal, in their words, is “to provide all patients with our positive attitude, helpful nature, and ‘healing hands.’”

Below, each doctor in his own words. When you are ready to meet them, the first consultation is free, and every treatment they use is laid out on the services page.

Two doctors named Smith, one address on South Baxter.

The practice’s aim

Quality care, from the training and philosophy of chiropractic.

The practice describes its mission as giving patients quality services using the philosophy and training in chiropractic, with a natural, drug-free approach and proven techniques applied gently. Patients range from infants to seniors, which is why the toolkit includes both hands-on adjustments and the light, hand-held Activator instrument.

Two generations practice under one sign: Dr. James and Dr. Justin Smith, both at 945 S. Baxter Ave. A new patient’s first visit starts with a free consultation, then a health history and an exam, and a report of findings that explains what was found before any course of care is recommended. Questions about that first visit are answered in the FAQ, and the full list of treatments shows what may follow.
