A chiropractor is like a dentist. Its often suggested that chiropractors have a great scheme going because you have to keep coming back for adjustments, but nothing else could be further from the truth. The point of chiropractic care is maintenance care - just like we eat various things that make our teeth dirty and then go to the dentist for a checkup every 6 months, we also do things like slouch at work for 8 hours a day, fall on hard surfaces, bump into things, wear heavy backpacks, etc. that move our spine out of alignment. In the same way that our teeth can deteriorate without regularly scheduled checkups at the dentist, our spines can deteriorate over time from the different things we do with our bodies. This isnt to say that all chiropractors are the same - if you walk into a chiropractors office and theyre ready to start twisting your head that day, run out the door. These are the types of chiropractors that can seriously hurt you, and are often where chiropractors in general get a bad name. Simmons Chiropractic is an atlas orthogonal chiropractic practice - the first day you walk in, they will just do a few X-rays of your neck and back and a couple of strength tests (e.g. your grip) to see where your body is. The next time you come in, they will just align the top bone in your spine (your atlas) using a percussion device based on the position of your atlas bone as seen in the X-rays they took of your spine. From that point forward, they will make moderate adjustments to your spine to improve its alignment. You may have to make a lot of trips to their office at the beginning, but if you had never been to a dentist in your life there would surely be a lot of work to do there as well. In the condition my spine is in now, I only have to go every 5-6 months to get minor adjustments. When I started going I had a lot of back pain (from years of backpacks loaded with school books), which is now completely gone. It also feels natural to sit up straight now instead of slouching all the time. I used to be someone who thought chiropractors were quacks, based on the bad experiences I had heard about them. When my wife started going to this office and they restored the natural curve in her back - it had been straight her whole life - I decided to try them out, and have always walked away feeling better after each appointment. If youre tired of popping pain pills for your back pain, try these guys out. Youll be amazed at what they can do.

Dr Lyter has changed the way I live life. I have never had this level of pain relief and improvement in my quality-of-life. I suffered some injuries in Afghanistan and was in medical care for over 2 1/2 years with the army and never had results as good as what I get from Dr. Lyter! The guy deserves sainthood and I would recommend him to anyone that is experiencing physical pain. The name says chiropractic and most people assume that it is limited to the back but they take care of so many other issues. My feet feel better, my hip feels better, my back, my neck, no headaches, my right arm doesnt ach! Come see these guys. It will be the best money you ever spend! -Hawk Tacoma wa

Simmons chiropractic clinic is the best in this county., Dr. Kevin Lyter is an amazing chiropractor, he has compassion and gratitude towards his patients. He listens to every thing you have to say and complain about with your body. He has helped me out for a car accident i was in. Also as a Massage Therapist he takes care of my wrists elbows and neck and back as needed for my job can be very difficult on my body. Id never see any other chiro but Dr. Lyter. Thank you Dr. Lyter for all the help youve given my body.

If your having back or neck pain chances are you had a bad fall or an accident of some kind in your life the longer you wait the worse it gets. This place changed my life for the better after my bad car accident, and a couple really hard head impact falls as a teen.

These guys are amazing! I had a sprained ankle that they fixed. I always feel better after going to get adjusted. I never believed chiropractics could do the numerous things they have done to help my pain.
