Karl Smith D.C.

Dr. Karl grew up in Othello, WA. When he was young he hurt himself while jumping on his trampoline. His mom took him to the local chiropractor for help. He was so impressed by how the chiropractor helped him he knew that is what he wanted to do. Once he graduated from Chiropractic College he decided to settle down in Spokane Valley because he had fond memories of visiting here.

Dr. Karl has been here in the Spokane Valley at the same location for over 25 years. We are located just south of Sprague on the corner of 3rd and University Road, across from Spokane Transit bus station here in the Valley.

Welcome to University Chiropractic located in Spokane Valley, WA. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Spokane chiropractors can help you and your family.

Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?

Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but chiropractic treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.

What is Chiropractic and How Does It Work?

Consistent chiropractic care is one of the main keys to good health. Dr. Karl Smith of University Chiropractic , Spokane Valley, WA, has a goal for you. That goal is to get you back on the road to good health and then empower you to “take charge of your health!”

How does he go about doing this? Education is one of the major sources of empowerment. The more you understand basic health principles, the better able you are to make better health decisions that can improve the quality of your life.

Good health care is more than just taking care of the symptoms. You also need to treat the cause.

For example, if your roof is leaking and you don’t fix the leak, it will get worse. Placing a bucket to catch the water leak is only treating the symptom. You still need to fix the roof and have the knowledge of how to maintain it so it will not leak again. This is what we teach our clients, taking care or your health.

We have flexible office hours to accommodate your work schedule.

Dr Karl Smith is an amazing chiropractor!! He is one of the kindest most compassionate people! He truly cares about ALL of his patients.

- Dawn W. 9/14/2017

From the first visit, the pain (pinched nerve in the hip) began to subside. Within a few months, it was cured and we moved on to an issue with my shoulder which cleared up within another six months. Friendly staff and extremely accommodating. I intend to keep going back, not to get fixed, but to stay fixed.

- Bob P. 9/12/2017

They are amazing! I really appreciate the scheduling process; I can call and get in for an adjustment within minutes. Dr. Smith goes above and beyond. He really shows his care and compassion. This is definitely a judgement free business and I feel like family when I go.

- Mari P. 11/16/2016

Meet these guys at pig out in the park. I'd overstretched my back earlier and this gal was able to remove the metaphorical knife in my back with just a 10 minute chair massage. Imagine what she could do with a full hour. :)

- Kate W. 9/25/2016

Dr. Karl Smith is a one of a kind guy. Always cheerful, always willing to help. He is highly respectable and trustworthy. I strongly recommend him to anyone.

Dr Karl and his team are simply amazing. It doesn't even feel like your seeing a dr. The staff is very personable and friendly. I enjoy coming in once every 3 months and getting an adjustment with a massage to loosen me up. My insurance doesn't cover it but it's worth every cent :) 5/5 would recommend.

- Jeff H 11/1/2017

Dr. Smith is amazing. I messed my back up in wrestling and was suffering with it for months. Dr. Smith had me feeling great after 3 weeks. Great guy.

- Carter S 11/1/2017

Dr Karl is very thorough and makes sure you understand what he is doing. Dr Karl and all the staff have been very welcoming from day one. i have used chiropractic care since i was in my mid teens and he is one of the good ones, i would definitely recommend him.

- Paul O 11/1/2017

Karl and his team offer a great experience. They are very professional but are also fun. It's a great way to start the day off! Karl is very knowledgeable and gives explanations that the average person can actually understand. He genuinely cares about his patients and what is going on in their lives. It is a very personal experience. I didn't feel like he was trying to push services on me but was helpful and encouraging. I noticed a major difference in my back pain and it was also helpful to have hints on tips on how to improve posture overtime as well as overall body health and wellness. I highly recommend Dr. Karl Smith and the rest of the University Chiropractic Team!
