Family Chiropractor in Liberty, MO
Your family's health starts with a nervous system that works the way it should. Gentle, precise care guided by advanced technology and over 1,000 hours of specialized pediatric training.
A Neurologically Focused Practice Built for Families
We don't chase symptoms or hand out cookie cutter care plans. Your care is guided by CLA INSiGHT neurological scanning technology, objective data that shows exactly how your nervous system is functioning.
Your care starts with data, not guesswork. Our CLA INSiGHT scans give us a clear picture of how your nervous system is functioning before we ever make an adjustment, so your care plan is built around what your body actually needs, not a generic protocol. It’s the same neurologically focused approach we’ve used to help hundreds of Liberty area families since 2016.

Here's how we serve your family:
Our Services
Pediatric Chiropractic
For Infants, Kids & Teens
A child’s nervous system is still developing, and even the birth process itself can put stress on it long before any symptoms show up. That’s why pediatric care starts with a CLA INSiGHT scan, giving us an objective look at how your child’s nervous system is functioning rather than guessing based on symptoms alone.
Whether your child is struggling with colic, reflux, ear infections, tongue tie, ADHD, anxiety, autism, or sensory processing challenges, we look deeper than the symptoms. Our adjustments are incredibly gentle, about the pressure you'd use to test a ripe tomato.
Dr. G and Dr. Jon have completed more than 1,000 hours of postgraduate pediatric training, including Focus Certification and Epic Peds, so your kiddo is always in experienced hands. Most parents are surprised by how calm and comfortable their child feels during a visit, often looking forward to coming back.
Adult Chiropractic Care
For Headaches, Back Pain, Neck Pain & More
Whether you’re hunched over a desk all day, chasing kids around the house, or just tired of living with nagging pain, your nervous system plays a bigger role than most people realize. Chiropractic isn't just for when something hurts, it's for building a body that handles life better.
We help adults in Liberty with headaches, migraines, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, and chronic stress through gentle adjustments that target your nervous system, not just your spine. We take the time to understand your specific goals before building a plan, because lasting relief looks different for every patient.
Many adults come to us after trying to manage pain on their own for years and are surprised at how much changes when the underlying cause, not just the symptom, is addressed.
Prenatal & Postnatal Chiropractic
For Expecting & New Moms
Pregnancy asks a lot of your body, and Chiropractic care can make that journey noticeably more comfortable. Our Webster Certified doctors help expecting moms in Liberty stay comfortable, aligned, and prepared for birth, through every trimester and into postpartum recovery.
Whether you're dealing with round ligament pain, sciatica, pelvic pain, or breech positioning concerns, we're here. The Webster Technique is specifically designed to support pelvic balance and optimal positioning for baby, which is why we recommend starting care as early as possible in pregnancy.
Postpartum care matters just as much, helping moms recover, heal, and feel like themselves again after birth.
Sports Chiropractic
For Athletes Who Demand More
Athletes push their bodies further than most, and that takes a toll on the nervous system as much as the muscles and joints. We offer sports chiropractic, concussion recovery support, and dry needling to help you perform at your best and recover faster.
Dr. G played college football. Dr. Jon won a national basketball championship. They understand what your body goes through. Whether you’re recovering from a concussion, working through a nagging injury, or simply want to move and perform better, our sports chiropractic care is built around helping you get back to what you love, faster and stronger. From weekend warriors to competitive athletes, we’ve been on both sides of the table ourselves.

“They are the absolute best. So friendly & knowledgeable & they genuinely care! You care is tailored specifically to YOU, not some cookie cutter care plan. Super kid friendly.

“I cannot say enough good things about Smith Elite Family Chiropractic! They have been very helpful in treating my daughter and myself. My daughter experienced focus difficulties, had issues with sleep and experienced anxiety. The improvements we have seen have surpassed our expectations! The office is warm and inviting, the staff is nice and the doctors are unmatched! I would recommend their practice for anyone seeking traditional chiropractic and especially those seeking alternative treatment for focus and other struggles for children!”

Common Questions From Liberty Families
-
There's no minimum age. We regularly see newborns within their first few days or weeks of life, especially after a difficult birth process. Adjustments for infants use an extremely light touch, far gentler than what's used for adults.
-
It's a neurological scanning technology that measures how your nervous system is functioning, giving us objective data instead of relying on guesswork or symptoms alone. Every new patient receives a scan so we can build a care plan around what your body actually needs.
-
Not at all. Many of our patients come to us for overall wellness, nervous system function, or to support their child's development, not just for pain relief. Chiropractic care is about how your whole body functions, not just how it feels in the moment.
-
The techniques are completely different. Adjustments for infants and children use only light, precise pressure, nothing like what's used for an adult spine. Dr. G and Dr. Jon have over 1,000 hours of specialized pediatric training specifically for this reason.
