    I am a retired US Marine after 26 years in the Marine Corps. I have had pain and discomfort in my back for some time now. I am on my seventh tour in Afghanistan and I flew into Albuquerque to visit my wife for my R&R period back in December 2012. I was in a lot of pain and had every intention of visiting a chiropractor several times while visiting Albuquerque. Dr. Smith came HIGHLY recommended by a good friend of ours and she was right. Dr. Smith was kind, spent over an hour with me explaining in full detail what my injuries were and then preceded to treat the area so well with various therapeutic techniques that within a day or two my pain subsided considerably.
