About Our Clinic
Frankum Chiropractic has been serving Smithville and surrounding areas since 2005. While chiropractic care is at the foundation of our practice, we have continued to expand the services we offer so we have more options for helping patients with both acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems. Today, our Smithville office offers chiropractic care, dry needling, non-surgical spinal decompression and massage therapy, including Swedish, deep tissue, Thai and Ashiatsu. Having all of these services available under one roof allows us to combine treatment options and tailor them for each individual patient.
Why Is Our Approach Different?
What makes Frankum Chiropractic different is that we don’t believe every patient or every condition should be treated the same way. Sometimes chiropractic care alone is appropriate. Sometimes spinal decompression, dry needling, massage therapy or a combination of some or all of those makes more sense. Just as importantly, we recognize when chiropractic care may not be the right answer. If your evaluation suggests that your condition requires additional tests, imaging, or evaluation by a different specialist, we will help coordinate that for you. Our goal is to help you find the right path forward – not to recommend treatment simply for the sake of treatment.
Our Mission
Our mission at Frankum Chiropractic is to provide honest, individualized care that helps our patients reduce pain, improve function, and return to the activities that matter most to them. We believe in finding the right approach for each patient, using the treatment options available in our office when appropriate and referring to other healthcare providers when a patient’s needs are better served elsewhere. Above all, we want every patient to feel that their concerns were heard, their condition was thoroughly evaluated, and their care was recommended with their best interest in mind.

Can Your Health Condition Be Helped With Chiropractic?
Not every type of pain or health condition should be treated with chiropractic care. The first step is determining what may be causing your symptoms and whether your condition is something we believe we can appropriately help. At Frankum Chiropractic, we start with a thorough history and examination and only use imaging or other diagnostic information when it is necessary and appropriate.
Chiropractic care is commonly used for musculoskeletal problems involving the spine and other joints, including many cases of back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint or muscle-related complaints. However, similar symptoms can sometimes come from very different causes, which is why we believe the evaluation is just as important as the treatment.
If we believe your condition is appropriate for care in our office, we'll discuss our findings and recommendations with you. If something doesn't fit, additional testing is needed, or we believe another healthcare provider would be better suited to evaluate or treat your condition, we'll tell you that as well. Our goal is to help you understand your options and determine the most appropriate next step.
