“Great guy. Saw me on a walk in (well, limp in) basis to get a quick start on my back spaz. I’m feeling 75% better after the first treatment. Going back for a follow up tomorrow.
Dr. Karl doesn’t try to sell a bunch of add ons, though they are available. I appreciate that.”

About Dr. Karl Smith
Dr. Karl grew up in Othello, WA. When he was young, he hurt himself while jumping on his trampoline. His mom took him to the local chiropractor for help, and he was so impressed by how the chiropractor helped him that he knew that is what he wanted to do. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College West. After graduating, he decided to settle down in Spokane Valley because he had fond memories of visiting here.
Dr. Karl has been a chiropractor for over 30 years and has recently moved to a new location on Sprague and Evergreen in the heart of Spokane Valley.
He is one of the founders of ASEA and is an active member of the ASEA Medical Professionals Board.
