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.
At the Ozzie Smith Center, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution for pain. Our unique approach lies in our commitment to integrated care. We combine cutting-edge regenerative medicine, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, with the foundational practices of physical therapy and chiropractic adjustments.
This means you get a team of experts collaborating on your health. Instead of just chasing symptoms, we perform a deep dive into the root cause of your pain to create a truly personalized roadmap to recovery that helps you heal faster and more effectively.
Absolutely. It’s a common misconception that regenerative therapies are only for recent injuries. While early intervention is always beneficial, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy can offer significant relief even for long-standing, chronic joint pain.
By using your body’s own concentrated healing factors, PRP works to calm persistent inflammation, stimulate the repair of damaged tissue, and support overall joint function. For our patients with chronic conditions, we often combine PRP with targeted physical therapy and lifestyle guidance to maximize your results, slow down the degenerative process, and help you reclaim your mobility.
We treat a wide spectrum of conditions that prevent people from living their best life. Our expertise covers:
Your journey with us begins with a comprehensive evaluation that goes far beyond your immediate symptoms. We listen to your story, review your medical history, and use advanced functional assessments to understand how your body is moving and where the dysfunction lies.
From there, our integrated team of doctors and therapists collaborates to design your custom plan. This may involve a combination of regenerative injections, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy exercises, or wellness treatments, all sequenced to build on each other for the most powerful and lasting results. Your care is as unique as your health journey.
That’s a great question! Think of it this way: chiropractic care focuses on ensuring your body’s foundation: the spine and nervous system is properly aligned and functioning without interference. Physical therapy then builds on that foundation by restoring movement, building strength in supporting muscles, and improving your body’s mechanics.
When used together, they create a powerful synergy. The chiropractic adjustment creates the potential for optimal movement, and physical therapy trains your body to maintain it, leading to a more complete and stable recovery.
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.
