Self care is so important these days. Dr. Meggie Smith and her business, Chiropractic First, provide an excellent space for healing and rejuvenation in a peaceful and safe environment. Each time I visit, my whole self feels renewed, as my shoulder tension gently releases and my overall energy improves. Dr. Meggie is skilled in her light touch method of chiropractic and she is a warm and friendly healer.

I’ve been working with the chiropractors here for several years and am so amazed by my body’s ability to heal itself now. I used to get major stiffness in my neck and lose mobility for days at a time, but since coming here it rarely happens and when it does I’ve been able to breathe through it and open it up on my own. I’ve also felt an improvement with my sleep, headaches, and anxiety. Go see Meggie and tell her what’s bothering you,

Our family has been seeing Drs Meggie and Will for many years. Last weekend I bashed my head on a wooden beam and exacerbated pain from an already stiff neck. I couldnt drive, had difficulty walking and sleeping and found it very painful to swallow. One session with Meg and two with Will and Im 100% better!! I have no clue how they do it, but it works!Rick Callahan

Dr. Meggie was incredibly knowledge and did an excellent job of explaining the principles behind why my adjustments were necessary. I was a little skeptical about soft touch adjustments because it really doesnt feel like much is happening, but the impact on how I felt made me trust the process. If I ever have a reason to see someone about pain management in the future Dr. Meggie will be my first stop.

I have always felt totally safe and confident in the hands of Dr. Meggie Smith. I went to her throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum period. I even take my infant for regular adjustments and it has helped him with reflux and other digestive problems. Meredith, the receptionist, is very knowledgeable and kind. I would not hesitate to send my friends and clients to Chiropractic First- I have been to many chiropractors throughout my life and I enjoy Dr. Meggies care the most.

I never imagined a light touch methodology of chiropractic would be as effective as it is. I appreciate the effort to try and teach the body to find its balance vs. the typical chiropractic adjustment which forces the body back into alignment, but creates reliance on that outside intervention to stay in line. I feel this approach is much more systemic, integrates multiple energy systems in the body - not just musculoskeletal, and brings me into more sensitivity to overall health. The doctor is clearly naturally gifted and is motivated to aid in long-term wellness, not trying to create reliance on her and ongoing revenue from each individual she treats. I highly recommend Chiropractic First!

Dr. Meggie Smith is the kindest, most effective, and most gentile chiropractor that I have ever seen. I have seen several chiropractors over the years and found her light touch method to be the best for dealing with chronic inflammation and joint disfunction. I saw an overall positive transformation in my life and heath under her treatment. I used to suffer from debilitating vertigo and motion sickness and was able to find not only relief from acute symptoms, but significantly reduced occurrence and intensity of episodes.

I had an incredibly sore back and neck. I was stressed out and suffered headaches almost every day. This has gone on for many years and before coming into Chiropractic First for the 1st time, I got a prescription for a strong painkiller. 2 months later, the painkiller bottle remains unopened, I suffer no headaches and the stress/pain in my neck and back has vanished. I recommend Dr. Liz and the wellness coach Morley Robbins because they are both excellent educators and healers.

I originally started going to Chiropractic First because I was having problems with my hips, which really got off balance while I was moving. I had been to other chiropractors in the past and it always seemed kind of like an assembly line. Everyone got the same adjustment. Snap, crackle, pop and your done. I never really felt better, and was told to come in 3 times a week indefinitely. I heard that Chiropractic First was more gentle and used a different technique. I love that there are no x-rays, but instead you receive a postural analysis. I think x-rays can be a little bit lazy and you can miss things. In a postural assessment, the practitioner is looking at you and your body and seeing where imbalances are rather than paying attention to the x-ray. I learned postural assessment in massage school, and it is a great tool. The adjustments are very gentle and are based on your individual needs. Since starting to go to Chiropractic First last spring, I have had fewer problems with my back and hips, and I have also noticed other chronic pain or tightness that I dont usually think about lessen a great deal. I have also been able to go off of my migraine medication and have been migraine free for a few months now. The more gentle technique is also great for pregnant women. I work with a lot of pregnant women, so it is great to have a good referral to give them.

Review №13

On September 4th of 2009, I had a cycling accident that had me go over the handlebars at about 15 miles per hour, landing on my head, right shoulder and right side. I was taken to the emergency room and spent 7 hours being diagnosed and misdiagnosed before I was released at 2:00 am.In the ambulance I thought I had broken my shoulders, collar bones, dislocated my hip and left middle finger. I knew I was not paralyzed and did not suffer a concussion as my helmet had done a good job protecting me. After X-rays, CT scans and massive amounts of pain medication I was told I had only dislocated my finger, had no broken bones, I was given crutches and a list of specialists to follow up with. As the night progressed, the pain increased.Being sensitive to drugs and knowing it would be best to get working on these injuries as soon as possible, I called Dr. Liz the next morning, which was a Saturday. Dr. Liz made a house call and worked on me extensively at home. The large amounts of Morphine I had been given the night before had made me feel very sick, disillusioned and far off center. The treatment I received from Dr Liz brought me back to my center very quickly while easing the physical pain, the drug hangover and the emotional stress and anxiety I had from the experience. She made me fell very much at ease and focused on getting better.Most of what I had felt the day before had returned on Sunday morning. I had Dr. Liz come back for more treatment with the same results. For the first few days, I was not able to sleep at all, but with her help, we were able to quiet the internal dialogue and return to a restful state.I visited Dr. Liz several times that week and with each visit I could feel improvement in my physical /emotional condition over all with a few hot spots that seemed persistent. Dr. Liz also prescribed Homeopathic remedies that helped a great deal. Follow up with the specialists revealed I had actually fractured the C-3 vertebrate in my neck, torn a chest muscle and torn a tendon in my hip. Knowing the extent of these physical injuries helped us to focus Dr. Liz’s treatments.After the first week of treatment every day, I went to see Dr. Liz twice a week for treatment for five weeks. I have made steady progress and am very happy that I chose to intervene with Dr. Liz as rapidly as I did. Being aggressive with the early treatment and sustaining it over time are keys to the success I have had. I am very happy to have taken a holistic approach to what has been a very traumatic event. I would recommend this approach to anyone.
