About Dr. Smith

Pain relief is a family tradition.

John Smith, DC, is one of four chiropractors in his immediate family; his uncle, brother and father are chiropractors, too. Growing up, he saw his father relieve the pain of others, and he saw that his father genuinely cared for his patients.
In 1982, John Smith graduated magna cum laude from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Today, Dr. Smith provides the same kind of friendly, effective care as his father. He listens to his patients and treats them like people, not like numbers on a chart. He explains each patient’s condition in language they understand. No matter what the patient’s age, he speaks at his or her level.
Whether treating an olympic athlete or a brand new patient, Dr. Smith treats them like family. If you’re looking for personalized care and effective pain relief that lasts, call today!
