- Arthritis
- Plantar FasciitisAt S.M.A.R.T. Chiropractic, we utilize a wide variety of state of the art soft tissue techniques such as Dynamic Motion Therapy (DMT ). These are tissue system/movement based techniques that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly, safely, and permanently with these techniques. You name it, we can treat it!
- CryotherapyS.M.A.R.T. Chiropractic offers several modalities to complement and enhance the treatment procedures listed above. These include ultrasound, interferential electrical muscle stimulation, mechanical traction, moist heat therapy, cryotherapy, and laser.
- Pediatric CareWhether young, or old, the science of the human body never changes. Chiropractic treatment can be modified to meet the needs of specific conditions and age, in fact, many chiropractors hold specialty degrees in pediatrics, geriatrics, and obstetrics. We can treat the newest of the newborns to the eldest of the elderly.

- NeurologyThis is a very unfair and demeaning accusation that many doctors of chiropractic face. The training and education endured by doctors of chiropractic is extremely thorough and demanding, similar in all respects to that of medical doctors with the exception of pharmacology and surgical training. Prior to entering chiropractic college, the aspiring chiropractor requires 3-4 years (depending on the college and state) of typical pre-med undergraduate studies such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Chiropractic education itself is an additional 4 years of extensive study in anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, pathology, neurology, radiology, diagnosis, and nutrition. In fact, chiropractors routinely receive several hundred more hours of education in anatomy than medical doctors. Makes sense. After all, we’re the musculoskeletal specialists.
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCarpal-Tunnel-Syndrome (CTS) has become one of the most widespread occupational health problems we face today. It affects millions of people a year, and with our growing reliance on computers there seems to be no end in sight.

- SciaticaWhile this theory, in theory, is plausible, there hasn’t been any evidence to support it. In some cases, joint restrictions in the spine do indeed induce inflammation causing the nerves that originate from those areas to function abnormally. This is called a radiculopathy and often leads to pain, tingling, numbness and weakness along the course of that nerve. Sciatica is common example of this condition. But many chiropractors assert that this can occur along any nerve exiting the spine, affecting everything in the body, including internal organs. Until someone can prove it, don’t you believe it. This isn’t a belief system, chiropractic is NOT a religion.
- WhiplashWhiplash is the common name given to the injury where there is a hyperextension (increased backward motion) and hyper flexion (increased forward motion) of the cervical (neck) spine. More simply put, the head is dramatically thrust forward and backward. Car accidents and falls can cause whiplash injuries.
- Pinched NerveDr Holt is more than the best chiropractor he is a miracle worker. I had a double pinched nerve between my C6 /C7 discs while other Drs told me to write off surfing, riding road bikes and snowboarding Dr Holt was able to pin point the issue relieve the pain and correct the issue.
- Sports MedicineThe new medically based chiropractic approach to health care is holistic and preventative, without all of that hocus-pocus you may have experienced from other chiropractors. Here at S.M.A.R.T. Chiropractic, we won’t try to sell you “magic supplements”, “magic water”, or any other gimmicks. We deal in the science of chiropractic sports medicine... period.
- Physical TherapyWe can assist in your recovery by performing Active Release Technique on the injured muscles and correctly adjusting your neck and/or spine so it has the chance to heal properly. In addition, we can recommend physical therapy, stretching and strengthening exercises, and natural anti-inflamatories to put you back on the road to good health.
- Tennis ElbowTennis and Golfer’s Elbow are identical conditions that occur either along the outside or inside of the elbow and are defined as tendinitis. Tennis elbow occurs on the outside of the elbow, and Golfer’s elbow occurs on the inside, however, both conditions can occur without the patient having participated in either sport. As the names suggest, they are simply more commonly seen in tennis players and golfers by dint of the stresses placed upon the elbow during each activity. The medical term is epicondylitis, and it is caused by either abrupt or subtle injury of the muscle and tendon at the attachment point at the elbow. It is most commonly seen between the ages of 30-50, and occurs often in patients who have work activities that require repetitive arm, elbow, wrist, and hand movement, especially while tightly gripping something.

- Foot OrthoticsTreatment for Runner’s Knee can be quite complex depending on how many joints and movement patterns are involved in the cause. You may require myofascial release techniques, or foot orthotics, or strengthening exercises. As biomechanical specialists, we are capable of determining this to a very specific degree.
- Plantar FasciitisPlantar Fasciitis is an inflammatory condition causing pain on the underside of the foot near the heel. The pain is commonly intense in the morning and reduces to a dull achy pain as the day progresses.
