We have new and exciting news at Surf City Chiropractic. As many of you may know by now we have dedicated a full day to the Santa Cruz Women's Health Center. Dr. Smith will be working there a full day and will not have office hours at Surf City Chiropractic on Wednesdays. This is an exciting opportunity to serve more people with chiropractic care at the community multidisciplinary clinic, allowing access to chiropractic care to people who might otherwise not have that option.Dr. Smith is teaming with Dr. Goldie Jacques-Maynes at Golden Chiropractic in Aptos.

Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Surf City Chiropractic emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big surge in the popularity of our wellness center.
Arriving at a doctors office for the first time can be a nerve racking experience. Paperwork to fill out, new faces and names to learn, and getting to know your way around the office; this can hit the senses all the at same time causing overload. In contrast, at Surf City Chiropractic our aim is to remove any stressor causing unnessesary tension and make you feel comfortable. In this area of the website you will be able to take care of items necessary for your visit prior to arriving, in the comfort of your home.
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.

Dr. Smith is very good at what he does. He also cares about long term health. The only issue I have had with Surf City Chiro is that the receptionist could have taken a little time to check my insurance coverage before asking me, as a returning customer, for $85.00 up front. It is what they advertise on their web-site after all. Likewise, Dr. Smith could have been less confident about my coverage.
Confidence is an asset and a liability and Tom Smith is not lacking in confidence. My coverage is very clear, I get twenty visits a year and all exams and extras are covered for a single $15.00 copay. Don't look for an apology if/when they make a mistake.

Dr. Smith is amazing! Both he and his assistant Yulen are incredibly kind, genuine, and professional. The office is always welcoming and relaxed. I've been going to Dr. Smith for about a year and a half and have seen him for back, hip and shoulder issues all of which he has always helped heal and strengthen. His adjustments and physical therapy type approach always does wonders for me. Highly recommend surf city chiropractic!
