Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to understand how each treatment works, what makes our approach unique, and how we personalize care to your specific needs. Whether you’re exploring options for chronic pain, sports injuries, or preventive wellness, these FAQs will give you helpful insights into how our team combines proven techniques with innovative therapies to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life.
Physical therapy and regenerative injections share the same end goal — to improve function and reduce pain — but they work in different ways. Physical therapy focuses on restoring movement, building strength, and improving joint mechanics through guided exercises and hands-on techniques. Regenerative injections (such as PRP or cellular therapy) deliver concentrated healing factors directly to the injured area, jump-starting the body’s repair process at the cellular level.
When used together, they offer a truly comprehensive approach — therapy provides the mechanical stability and strength your body needs, while regenerative injections promote the biological healing that supports lasting results.
Every patient we see has a unique history, lifestyle, and set of goals — which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Your treatment begins with a detailed evaluation that includes your medical history, imaging when needed, and functional assessments to understand how your body is moving.
From there, we create a custom plan that may include regenerative therapies, chiropractic care, physical therapy, hormonal support, or aesthetic treatments — sometimes in combination. This integrated approach means each therapy builds on the others, ensuring you receive a targeted, evidence-based plan that’s designed around your life, not just your condition.
Yes — in many cases, PRP can still offer meaningful benefits even when pain has been present for years. While platelet rich plasma therapy often delivers the best outcomes in the earlier stages of joint degeneration, it can also help with long-standing issues by calming inflammation, stimulating the growth of new, healthy tissue, and supporting what’s still functional in the joint.
For chronic cases, we often combine PRP with a broader recovery plan — which may include targeted rehabilitation and lifestyle strategies — to maximize improvement and slow the progression of joint damage.
TMJ problems are often the result of more than just jaw pain — they can stem from bite misalignment, tension in surrounding muscles, or improper joint movement. At the Ozzie Smith Center, we take a holistic, step-by-step approach to treatment. We begin with a thorough evaluation to identify the exact cause, then combine chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue release, and customized rehabilitative exercises to address it from every angle.
This method doesn’t just relieve immediate discomfort — it helps restore proper jaw function, improve long-term stability, and prevent the pain from coming back.
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, targeted treatment that slowly stretches the spine, reducing pressure on discs and nerve roots. When paired with precise chiropractic adjustments, it helps restore spinal alignment while also creating space for nutrient-rich fluids to flow into the discs, promoting natural healing.
This combination can be especially effective for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic low back pain — providing not only symptom relief but also support for long-term spinal health.
