Introducing Concord Chiropractor Dr. Andy Smith

Concord Chiropractor, Dr. Andy SmithI found myself in Duke hospital with my neck dislocated and broken from a football injury that afternoon. I was quarterback for the Duke University freshman team, with hopes of one day playing football as a career. My dream ended that day and my life took a different direction.

During the several years of recovery my father encouraged me to see a friend of his who was a Chiropractor. I was still having a great deal of problems from my injury, so I went. I was very nervous about the chiropractic treatment, but you know, it didn't hurt. In fact I actually felt good and everything got tremendously better. It worked so well, I decided to go to Chiropractic school myself!

After completing his education at Duke University, Dr. Smith was accepted to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. During his four years at Palmer, courses included: biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, x-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques, and patient care in the Palmer College Public Clinic. After graduating in 1977, Dr. Smith returned to Concord to establish his practice. "We love the difficult cases and the skeptics," smiles Dr. Smith. "I still remember the concerns and apprehensions I had when I went to the chiropractor after my injury. So we make it a point to explain everything in advance, answer questions and attempt to over communicate. Patients appreciate that."

Dr. Smith is married to Nancy and they have 3 daughters, Hannah, Alisa, and Katrina, son in law's Wayne and David, grandson Caleb, and another grandbaby on the way. Everyone in the family receives regular chiropractic care, including 4 month old Caleb!

Dr. Andy  Asks some important questions of interest to Concord residents - Chiropractor Concord Dr. Andy Asks...

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more Concord parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
