Our patients are convinced HealthSmart is a superior center of healthcare. We believe in the body's powerful innate ability to heal itself, and we restore and promote dynamic health for each of our patients by optimizing that innate system.

Medical care today focuses primarily on disease management, through the use of drugs, which mask and eliminate symptoms. However, this practice fails to address the root cause of illness and pain.

The Central Nervous system, which encompasses the Brain and Spinal Cord, is the communications superhighway through which all nerves connect to all body systems. The body’s health is dependent upon proper and free flow of messages along this superhighway, relating to all functions such as repair, motion, digestion, circulation, etc.

Chiropractic care focuses on the Central Nervous System. Our HealthSmart practice goes even further, by employing the NUCCA method of Chiropractic. The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association has led the chiropractic field in research for the past 30 years.

NUCCA research has proven the brain has the ability to balance the spine, IF the Atlas (the first Cervical Vertebra in the neck) is in proper position. This vertebra is key, because of its pivotal placement adjacent to the brain stem. There are 10,000 variables regarding the possible missalignment of the Atlas vertebra, but only one 'right' position. This single vertebrae is the focus of our care.

By determining through ultra-accurate x-rays what gentle adjustment is necessary to position it 'right', we restore proper alignment and balance, supporting the body's ability to be supremely healthy. This method is a more precise and therefore quicker means to optimal health. Communication flow and healing inevitably follows. We also do post x-rays to determine success. (See Body Balance)

Dr. Marshall Dickholtz, Jr., a second generation NUCCA doctor, is a Certified NUCCA practitioner, and is on the NUCCA Board as well as the Certifications Board. He is director of HealthSmart, and is anxious to assist you in your quest for optimal health and longevity.




		“I’d had help from other chiropractors before but it was only temporary. My health has improved so much with Dr. Marshall. My body learned what “right” is, like my neck had been “oiled”. What’s more, in 13 years of NUCCA care, my x-rays have shown no significant effects of aging.”
