I’m Dr. Jahi Smith, DC, the lead doctor at The LA Chiropractor Marina Del Rey. Together with our dedicated team, we’re on a mission to save lives, one spine at a time, through the loving service of chiropractic care.

I firmly believe in the innate power of the human body to heal itself.

My role as your wellness coach is to remove the barriers preventing you from achieving optimal health.”

Using techniques like diversified chiropractic adjustments, HVLA, SOT blocks, myofascial release, and other soft tissue modalities, I combine skill and care to help patients regain their vitality. My thorough diagnostic approach and compassionate care ensure that each patient’s journey is personalized and effective.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward wellness, I invite you to let me help you. Let’s get your spine checked and turn your power on!
