Dr. Margaret Smith
Chiropractor

Dr. Margaret Smith
Contact Dr. Margaret Smith
Dr. Margaret practices specialized light touch forms of chiropractic.  Her work is based on Bio Geometric Integration and pulls heavily on Network Spinal Analysis and Neuro-Emotional Technique.  This means that you will rarely, if ever, experience the “cracking” type of adjustment that many people associate with chiropractic.  The chiropractic table looks and feels a lot like a massage table.  If you can lay face down on the table, Dr. Margaret will ask you to do that.  However, if you need to lay on your back or sit up, that is fine too.  For children or adults who have trouble sitting or lying still, they can move and walk around the room as much as needed.  Some people squirm and stretch a lot.  Others fall asleep.  Your healing process can take on many different forms.

The Technique

You will experience Dr. Margaret gently touching your back, head and possibly arms and legs.  The contacts will be light and quick.  Your treatment will last anywhere between 10 and 40 minutes.  Light touch chiropractic trains and teaches your body to heal on its own.  Like exercising, at first your body gets tired quickly.  Over time, you are able to have longer treatments.  We will take as much time as your body needs and go at a pace that will support you the most.

What to Expect

At the end of the session you may feel very relaxed, like you just had a massage.  You may feel very energized, like you found a huge reserve of power in your body.  You may have a significant increase in flexibility or a new level of calm.  Some people do feel more pain, anxiety or tension after their first session.  That can be a sign that your body is connecting into the parts of you that are most eager to heal.  If you are concerned about your response, call the office and let Dr. Margaret know.  She may be able to give you tips to make the healing process easier and more comfortable.

Testimonials

--As a mom, it was gratifying for me to see a shift in my son, who was moving through a period of inner "disorganization" as his cognitive, emotional and physical bodies were trying to catch up with one another.  After just two treatments, he seemed more "organized."  He was more resilient, less agitated, better able to verbally communicate...and, he slept better!  - Mother of a 5 year old patient 

 --What stood out to me (and to him, really) was that Dr. Margaret was very easy for my son to be around.  Her calm yet friendly demeanor invited him to place his trust in her, and he felt deeply comfortable letting her touch him and "move things around".  He appreciated her quiet voice, her warm smile, and he knew without a doubt that she respected both his space as well as his body, mind, and heart.
