Chiropractic care in Smithfield, Utah
Chiropractic Care That Starts With a Real Exam
Frankos Chiropractic provides practical, exam-based chiropractic care for back pain, neck pain, headaches, stiffness, sciatica-like symptoms, sports soreness, pregnancy-related discomfort, posture problems, and wellness visits for patients throughout Smithfield, Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Richmond, Lewiston, Preston, Franklin, and Cache Valley.
What makes this different
This is not just “come get cracked.”
Chiropractic care at Frankos Chiropractic is built around listening, examining, explaining, treating, and giving patients a clear next step. The adjustment may be important, but it should fit the person, the problem, the stage of care, and the patient’s goals.
Book based on the problem, not the tool.
If you have back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica-like symptoms, shoulder pain, sports soreness, pregnancy discomfort, stiffness, or pain after an auto accident, you do not need to decide whether you need an adjustment, traction, soft tissue work, or shockwave therapy.
The exam helps choose the service.
What your visit should include
A chiropractic visit should help you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and what the next step should be.
- A clear history of your symptoms, goals, and daily demands.
- Movement, joint, muscle, posture, and nerve-related screening when appropriate.
- Care options explained in plain language.
- Referral, imaging, or co-management when symptoms call for another provider.
Visit process
What happens during a chiropractic visit?
Patients should feel informed, not rushed. The goal is to understand your symptoms, narrow down the pattern, and choose care that makes sense.
History
We review what started the pain, what makes it better or worse, whether symptoms travel, and how it affects your life.
Exam
Movement, posture, joint restriction, muscle guarding, tenderness, and nerve-related signs may be assessed.
Care
Treatment may include adjustments, low-force work, soft tissue therapy, traction, flexion distraction, or home care advice.
Plan
You should understand what was found, what is recommended, and what to do next between visits.
Common reasons patients schedule

Learn moreTreatment tools
Adjustments are one tool inside a bigger plan.
The right treatment depends on your history, exam findings, comfort level, stage of care, and goals. Some patients need joint motion. Others need soft tissue work, traction, low-force care, or a referral before treatment.
Chiropractic adjustments
Used when joint motion appears restricted and an adjustment is appropriate for the patient.
Drop table and low-force options
Helpful when a gentler setup is preferred or when comfort, age, pregnancy, or sensitivity matters.
Soft tissue therapy
Targets muscle guarding, tenderness, trigger-point style tightness, and areas that may be protecting irritated joints.
Flexion distraction
A table-assisted technique that may be used for selected low back, disc-related, or mobility patterns.
Traction / decompression
Used selectively when unloading the neck or low back makes sense based on the exam and symptom behavior.
IASTM and cupping
Soft tissue tools that may support mobility, soreness, and tissue tolerance when appropriate.
Radial shockwave therapy
A separate service option for selected chronic tendon, fascia, and soft tissue problems.
Home care and movement advice
Simple, practical guidance so patients understand what to do between visits.
Active pain vs maintenance
New pain and wellness care are not the same visit.
Frankos Chiropractic sees patients for active pain, injuries, flare-ups, and routine maintenance. Those visits should not be treated the same way.
Active pain care
For new pain, worsening symptoms, injuries, sciatica-like symptoms, headaches, auto accident pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, or anything that needs evaluation.
- More history and exam focus
- Care plan based on findings
- May include soft tissue, traction, or other tools
- Referral when needed
Wellness maintenance
For patients who are appropriate for routine maintenance-style chiropractic care and are not trying to treat a new injury or active flare-up.
- Quick maintenance-style visit
- Adult and youth memberships available
- 4 visits per month
- Visits do not roll over
Comfort and safety
Care should fit the patient, not force the patient to fit the technique.
Not every patient needs the same adjustment. Tell Dr. Frankos about medical conditions, medications, past surgeries, osteoporosis, cancer history, vascular concerns, pregnancy, or symptoms that feel unusual. The goal is to choose care that fits your situation.
Low-force and comfort options
If you are nervous, sensitive, in acute pain, pregnant, older, or simply prefer a gentler approach, say so. Care may be modified with low-force options, drop table techniques, activator-style care, soft tissue work, traction, or slower movement-based care.
No pressure. Clear explanation.
You should understand what is being recommended and why. Some patients need a few focused visits. Some need a longer plan. Some are better suited for wellness care after active symptoms settle. Some need referral or imaging before treatment.
When to seek urgent care first
Seek urgent medical care for severe trauma, chest pain, shortness of breath, stroke-like symptoms, loss of bowel or bladder control, saddle numbness, progressive weakness, fever with severe spine pain, or symptoms that feel like an emergency.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about chiropractic care before you book.
These answers are meant to help you understand the visit before scheduling. Your actual care plan depends on your history, exam findings, goals, and whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
Will I be adjusted on the first visit?
Often care may begin the first day when appropriate. If your history or exam suggests imaging, referral, urgent care, or a different first step, that should be explained before treatment.
Is chiropractic care only for back pain?
No. Patients often schedule for neck pain, headaches, sciatica-like symptoms, shoulder pain, sports soreness, pregnancy-related discomfort, posture problems, and wellness care.
Do adjustments hurt?
Many patients tolerate adjustments well. If you are nervous, sensitive, pregnant, older, recently injured, or simply prefer a gentler approach, tell the doctor so care can be adapted.
Do you offer low-force chiropractic care?
Yes. Care can be modified with low-force options, drop table techniques, activator-style approaches, soft tissue work, traction, or movement-based care when appropriate.
How many visits will I need?
That depends on your symptoms, exam findings, goals, response to care, and whether you are dealing with active pain or maintenance care. You should understand the recommended plan before committing to care.
Do you accept insurance?
Frankos Chiropractic accepts most major insurance plans. Coverage varies by plan, deductible, visit type, and medical necessity. Simple self-pay options are also available.
What is the difference between active pain care and wellness care?
Active pain care focuses on a current problem, injury, flare-up, or functional limitation. Wellness or membership visits are maintenance-style visits for appropriate patients who are not in active injury care.
