Meet Dr. Smith
Dr. Smith understands that although our patients may be diagnosed with the same condition, they respond very differently to treatments. Her passion for chiropractic started as a young athlete with multiple ankle and knee injuries from soccer and track. Her chiropractor gave her the ability and education to maintain proper biomechanics, even through injury, to allow for less time off and reduced occurrence of injury. During her studies in Biochemistry at Niagara University before chiropractic college, she had worked at a pharmacy for three years. During that time, she saw the extent of pain and dysfunction the average person is walking around with, while taking medication upon medication without receiving any relief.
In deciding to become a chiropractor, Dr. Smith went back to her roots and wanted to be that practitioner that had helped her stay at the peak of her game. She wanted to treat the actual cause of the issue, not just the symptoms. Dr. Smith specializes in treating the body as a whole in getting to the actual cause of the dysfunction. She understands that each patient responds differently to various treatments. For this reason, Dr. Smith is trained in a multitude of techniques and therapies.
In her spare time, Dr. Smith enjoys biking, boxing, cooking, hiking, kayaking, yoga, and getting outdoors whenever humanly possible! She also has a passion for music and attending concerts all year long.
