Dr. Lewis Smith

Dr. Lewis Smith is a doctor of Chiropractic specifically focused on the diagnosis and adjustment of  vertebral subluxation.  Dr. Smith's primary goal is to allow his patients to function at the maximum possible expression of health and wellness.  As a graduate of the most prestigious Chiropractic college in the world, Life University, his vision is to bring the gift of conservative, alternative health care to the North Atlanta community.

Dr. Smith's first experience with Chiropractic changed his life.  After a football injury in college, he experienced considerable back pain.  Numerous medical dotors and physicians failed to help him; and he decided to give Chiropractic a chance.  He was back on the playing field that same week.  That was the very point that Chiropractic became his career choice.  His passion is to bring health and wellness to as many people as he can, because he knows first hand how incredibly powerful this healing science can be.

Dr. Smith enjoys caring for people from all walks of life.  Treating moms to professional martial artists and everyone in between, Dr. Smith enjoys seeing the healing results that Chiropractic and a healthy, active lifestyle can have.  As a highly active person, he firmly believes that an active lifestyle is a primary key to wellness and health.  It is very important that active people maintain the health of their spine in order to remain healthy and active throughout life.
