Our team of professionals
As a child, Dr. Smith was chronically ill. Asthma and allergies caused him to suffer through decades of hospital stays, a multitude of prescribed drugs, and watching from the sidelines. After discovering chiropractic and how the body truly functions, he finally began to get well. Because of his experience of constantly getting sick, he is proud to be on a mission to help people be free of unnecessary sickness, toxic drugs, and suffering. His background also propels his passion to serve his community by leading wellness workshops for local businesses, churches, schools, and organizations.
Dr. Smith is committed to helping you restore the proper alignment of your spine, leaving you better equipped to thrive everyday and prevent illness. We take your health seriously, and do not guess at which treatments will benefit you. Your visit to our clinic involves a thorough analysis of your spine, typically including a digital nerve analysis, posture assessment, range-of-motion, orthopedic and neurological exam, and if necessary, x-rays.
Utilizing advanced corrective techniques and protocols, we aim to correct spinal misalignment and imbalances. The methods of correction we provide are based on Pettibon and CLEAR approaches, which require a highly skilled, highly trained Doctor of Chiropractic.
Since adaptation of muscular structures is a process that takes place over an extended period of time, repetition of positive forces into the affected tissues is necessary to effectively achieve and maintain postural correction.
These simple techniques alone can often be quite effective, as demonstrated in a 1986 study by Klein and Sobel of neck pain patients, in which 59 percent received significant long-term relief from performing postural exercises for their conditions.
Using an Arthrostim (a hand held adjusting tool) Dr. Smith’s skilled-hands can deliver beneficial mechanical forces that would be difficult, or impossible, to produce on their own.For example, the ArthroStim® instrument can produce a dozen spring-cushioned mini-toggle-recoil™ thrusts per second. Rapid, repetitive thrusting enables a practitioner to distribute the overall thrusting force over a series of thrusts. This helps to reduce the amount of peak force that would be required using a single thrust. This can be a great advantage for working with clients who are sensitive, or in pain.
The Webster Technique has been observed clinically to be associated with improved pregnancy outcomes. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) was founded by Dr. Larry Webster to promote and defend the chiropractic care of children, pregnant women and general family wellness care through patient advocacy, post-graduate education and research. The ICPA is the oldest free-standing organization in the chiropractic profession to teach and certify chiropractors on the Webster Technique.
Traditional healthcare often overlooks underlying issues, leading to long-term problems. MaxLiving stands out by addressing the root causes, not just symptoms through our whole-body approach known as the 5 Essentials™.
What sets MaxLiving’s care apart is the advanced training and education our doctors and teams undergo. Unlike other healthcare practices, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits all approach, which is why each patient is provided with a personalized care plan, crafted to meet your unique needs. With our extensive health and education resources, you’ll not only receive the care you need, but also gain the knowledge to make informed decisions for you & your family.
