Improve Your Quality of Life at Smith Wellness

At Smith Wellness, we are here to love and serve our community and each of our patients with personalized, quality chiropractic care. Las Cruces Chiropractor Dr. Jonathan Smith offers over 15 years of experience helping patients from infants to the elderly, including professional athletes, pregnant women, and people injured in accidents.

Our whole team is invested in you and your health, and we take the time to get to know you as a person. Many people are feeling more isolated these days, and five-minute doctors’ appointments where you’re treated like a number contribute to this sense of being on your own to figure things out. We have a different approach and mindset, and our goal is to get you the help and answers you need, whether your condition is chiropractic or not.

Our Services

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Care

What is it?

Care centers on how joints and muscles work together. When a joint becomes restricted and doesn't move as it should, the muscles around it tighten and shorten in response. Adjustments restore proper joint movement, which allows surrounding muscles to be stretched, strengthened, and stabilized using a wide range of techniques matched to your comfort level.

Who is it for?

Patients of all ages, from infants through seniors, including pregnant women, professional athletes, and people recovering from car, work, or other accidents, dealing with back pain, headaches, migraines, neck pain, or sciatica.

Benefits
- Improved joint mobility and function
- Reduced muscle tightness and restriction
- Care plan personalized to your body
- Safe for infants through seniors
- Comfortable techniques matched to your needs
Learn More about Chiropractic Care
Auto Accident Chiropractic
Auto Accident Chiropractic

What is it?

Moderate soft tissue injuries can occur in a crash at speeds as low as five miles per hour, even with little visible vehicle damage. A thorough assessment checks for joint issues, soft tissue damage, and other problems an ER often misses, including concussion, seat belt injuries, and fractures.

Who is it for?

Anyone involved in a car accident, including minor "fender benders," even when an ER visit turned up nothing on imaging.

Benefits
- Catches injuries an ER exam may miss
- Care plan tailored to accident severity
- Referrals coordinated when needed
- Helps prevent complications months or years later
- Support from week one through recovery
Learn More about Auto Accident Chiropractic
Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pregnancy Chiropractic

What is it?

Care focuses on keeping joints and muscles balanced during pregnancy, easing the physical stress placed on your body as it changes. Visits increase in frequency if discomfort or mobility issues are significant, then shift to about once a week as delivery approaches to help support proper pelvic alignment.

Who is it for?

Expectant mothers looking for a more comfortable pregnancy and an easier labor and delivery, ideally starting care early in pregnancy.

Benefits
- Shorter, easier labor and delivery
- Fewer interventions during birth
- Reduced pregnancy-related discomfort
- Less physical stress on you and baby
- Care personalized to your stage of pregnancy
Learn More about Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pediatric Chiropractic
Pediatric Chiropractic

What is it?

Pediatric chiropractic looks very different from what most adults imagine. Newborns and infants receive extremely light, precise adjustments, often no more pressure than checking a ripe tomato. Toddlers and kids are typically adjusted using a small handheld instrument that delivers quick, gentle taps rather than twisting or cracking.

Who is it for?

Babies who seem uncomfortable or favor turning their head one way, toddlers with sleep changes after a fall, and kids or teens dealing with posture aches, headaches, or sports-related tension.

Benefits
- Gentle, age-appropriate adjustments
- May improve sleep and mood
- Builds trust with kid-friendly explanations
- Parents welcome to stay close
- Care from newborns through teens
Learn More about Pediatric Chiropractic
Sports Injury Care
Sports Injury Care

What is it?

Care is matched to the type of injury involved. Misaligned joints or spine may call for a manual adjustment, while herniated discs or back pain may respond to spinal decompression. Soft tissue therapies address muscle damage directly, and corrective exercises and stretches help strengthen and stabilize the body as it heals.

Who is it for?

Athletes dealing with repetitive-strain injuries like stress fractures, or sudden trauma like ankle sprains and hamstring tears, as well as hernias, joint dislocations, and general muscle soreness or stiffness.

Benefits
- Drug-free, non-invasive treatment
- Plan matched to your specific injury
- Support getting back to your sport
- Improved joint and muscle function
- Long-term relief without surgery
Learn More about Sports Chiropractic
Graston Technique®
Graston Technique®

What is it?

Trained clinicians use stainless steel instruments to comb over soft tissue, detecting fibrotic restrictions where the instrument catches. Once identified, the instruments break down the scar tissue and collagen cross-links so the body can absorb it, stretching connective tissue and muscle fibers back toward normal function.

Who is it for?

Patients with scar tissue or soft tissue restrictions limiting normal movement and mobility. It's recommended after an exam determines it's a good fit for your condition.

Benefits
- Breaks down restrictive scar tissue
- Restores normal movement and mobility
- Non-invasive, instrument-based technique
- Recommended only when appropriate for you
Learn More about Graston Technique
Personal Injury Care
Personal Injury Care

What is it?

An evaluation assesses the full extent of an injury, often with a referral for X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Care then combines chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue therapies, including massage, active myofascial release, and dry needling, to restore range of motion and support your body's overall biomechanics.

Who is it for?

Anyone injured due to another party's negligence, such as a slip-and-fall at a business, particularly when an insurance or legal claim is involved.

Benefits
- Restores proper movement and biomechanics
- Coordinated care with insurance and attorneys
- Full documentation to support your claim
- Faster treatment start helps prevent complications
Learn More about Personal Injury Care
Workers' Compensation Care
Workers' Compensation Care

What is it?

Care for workplace injuries is coordinated directly with workers' compensation insurance so coverage applies to the treatment you receive. The approach draws on years of experience working with workers' comp providers throughout New Mexico, helping patients navigate the claims process while getting back to their normal activities without relying on pharmaceuticals.

Who is it for?

Employees recovering from a workplace injury who need chiropractic care covered under a workers' compensation claim.

Benefits
- Care covered through workers' comp insurance
- Experience navigating New Mexico claims
- Drug-free approach to recovery
- Support getting back to work
Learn More about Workers Comp Care
Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV Laser Therapy

What is it?

A Summus Class IV Medical Laser directs specific wavelengths of light into the affected area using a small handheld device, with four frequency options selected based on the type of injury or tissue damage involved. As the tissue absorbs the light, it triggers a cellular reaction that supports the body's own repair process.

Who is it for?

Patients with acute or chronic conditions, deep wounds, swelling, or bruising who want a drug-free, non-invasive path to healing.

Benefits
- Drug-free, non-invasive treatment
- Noticeable improvement often after one session
- Reduces pain, inflammation, and swelling
- Complete healing typically in 6-12 sessions
- Supports both acute and chronic injuries
Learn More about Class IV Laser Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy

What is it?

A handheld device delivers focused pulses of energy directly into injured tendon or soft tissue, increasing blood flow and triggering the body's own repair response. Sessions run five to ten minutes per body part, with intensity built up gradually and adjusted to how each patient responds rather than one fixed setting for everyone.

Who is it for?

Patients dealing with tendon and soft tissue pain that hasn't fully resolved with rest, ice, or stretching, including tendinopathies, rotator cuff and tennis elbow issues, low back and neck pain, bursitis, early-stage osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel. Shockwave therapy is generally well-tolerated. Mild, temporary side effects may include: soreness at the treatment site, redness, mild swelling, bruising, small red spots (petechiae), and tenderness to touch, which resolve on their own.

Benefits
- Non-invasive, drug-free treatment
- Sessions take five to ten minutes
- Intensity adjusted to your response
- Offered in six-session packages
Learn More about Shockwave Therapy
Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy

What is it?

A cup is placed on the skin and suctioned into place, drawing fresh blood into the area beneath it. That increased circulation helps break up adhesions in tight or sore muscles, tendons, and rib areas, stimulating the tissue's own healing response.

Who is it for?

Patients with tight or sore muscles, tendon and muscle injuries, or rib problems, including athletes who use it as part of a recovery routine.

Benefits
- Relieves tight, sore muscles
- Breaks up adhesions and restrictions
- Immediate relief for many patients
- Feels better than it looks
- Popular recovery tool among elite athletes
Learn More about Cupping Therapy
Dry Needling
Dry Needling

What is it?

Dry needling addresses soft tissue tension directly, and needles can be electrified using an e-stim machine to break up muscle tension and spasm more effectively. It's incorporated into a broader care plan when appropriate, typically with visits scheduled close together at first, often twice a week for the initial couple of weeks.

Who is it for?

Patients with tight, ropelike muscles, spasms, or headaches, especially when combined with chiropractic adjustments.

Benefits
- Relieves muscle tension and spasm
- Often shows quick improvement
- Enhanced with electrical stimulation
- Works well with chiropractic care
- Typical course of 6-12 sessions
Learn More about Dry Needling
Physiotherapy (Physical Therapy)
Physiotherapy (Physical Therapy)

What is it?

Care may combine passive therapy with active rehab, based on your exam findings and goals. We often use focused Russian stimulation to help muscles contract and rebuild strength, and ultrasound to calm pain and support irritated tissue. Guided movements help your muscles relearn proper firing patterns for your job or sport.

Who is it for?

Patients with neck or back pain, weakness or limited motion after injury or surgery, work or sports injuries affecting strength, ongoing tightness or spasms, or balance issues that make daily tasks harder.

Benefits
- Combines passive therapy and active rehab
- Home exercises tracked through the EMBODI app
- Plan adjusts based on your feedback
- Targets the source of the problem
- Integrated with chiropractic care
Learn More about Physiotherapy
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical Muscle Stimulation

What is it?

Electrodes placed on the body target specific muscle and nerve fibers with safe levels of electrical current, stimulating the larger, faster motion-sensing nerves rather than the slower pain-sensing ones. Because the brain focuses on whichever signal arrives first, this shifts attention away from pain. E-stim is typically added to a care plan after an adjustment, sometimes paired with ice.

Who is it for?

Patients dealing with muscle spasm, inflammation, or pain, often as an add-on to chiropractic adjustments.

Benefits
- Decreases pain and inflammation
- Works alongside chiropractic adjustments
- Includes Russian stim and interferential current
- Pairs well with ice therapy
Learn More about Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy

What is it?

Sessions are targeted, clinical bodywork rather than a spa-style massage, built around your exam findings so the work stays specific to what's driving your symptoms. Techniques may include soft-tissue release, stretching, cupping, Graston®, or Active Release Technique®, depending on what your body needs. Most sessions run about 30 minutes and are provided under Dr. Smith's chiropractic license.

Who is it for?

Patients dealing with muscle tension, stiffness, headaches, or slow recovery who want problem-focused bodywork rather than relaxation-only massage.

Benefits
- Eases muscle tension and stiffness
- Calms an overworked nervous system
- Guided by your clinical exam
- Techniques tailored to your body
- Flexible scheduling as symptoms improve
Learn More about Massage Therapy
RockTape & Dynamic Tape
RockTape & Dynamic Tape

What is it?

Special elastic tape is applied over and around muscles or joints to support tissue and help prevent overcontraction. Rather than restricting motion the way traditional tape does, it's designed to support normal movement, so a joint, tendon, or ligament gets added stability while staying mobile.

Who is it for?

Patients with muscles too tight or too weak to function properly, or anyone needing extra joint, tendon, or ligament support while remaining active.

Benefits
- Immediate support for weak or tight muscles
- Maintains full range of motion
- Stay active while healing
- Applied by a clinician with 15+ years' experience
Learn More about RockTape & Dynamic Tape
Paraffin Wax Therapy
Paraffin Wax Therapy

What is it?

Warm paraffin wax delivers a heat treatment that increases blood flow to the affected area, helping muscles relax, calming inflammation and spasm, and improving joint mobility. It's typically recommended alongside chiropractic adjustments and other therapies based on a thorough exam.

Who is it for?

Patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or joint dysfunction looking for extra relief alongside their care plan.

Benefits
- Reduces inflammation and muscle spasms
- Increases blood flow to the area
- Improves joint mobility
- Pairs well with chiropractic care
- Same-day appointments available
Learn More about Paraffin Wax Therapy
Traction Therapy
Traction Therapy

What is it?

Traction gently stretches the spinal vertebrae and surrounding muscles to relieve pressure and discomfort in the cervical or lumbar spine. It's offered as an additional therapy alongside chiropractic adjustments for patients dealing with neck or back pain.

Who is it for?

Patients with neck or back discomfort seeking relief in the cervical or lumbar spine.

Benefits
- Relieves spinal pressure and pain
- Gentle, relaxing treatment
- Complements chiropractic adjustments
- A patient favorite for comfort
Learn More about Traction Therapy
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound Therapy

What is it?

A handheld device placed directly on the skin sends high-frequency sound waves beneath the surface, vibrating and massaging the soft tissue and muscle below. Some settings also create a gentle heating effect that helps relax tight muscles and jump-start the body's healing process at the cellular level.

Who is it for?

Patients with strain or sprain injuries, joint pain, muscle spasms, or other soft tissue conditions.

Benefits
- Calms inflammation and swelling
- Relaxes muscle spasms and tightness
- Speeds the body's healing process

Learn More about Ultrasound Therapy
Touchpoint Solutions
Touchpoint Solutions
