In addition to treating injuries and physical conditions, we introduce patients to chiropractic as an effective program for general wellness and preventive care,” he added. 

Dr. Jerry Fonke, Dr. David Fonke and Dr. Christopher Long will continue to provide care along with Dr. Smith, as Fayetteville Family Chiropractic serves their existing patients and welcomes new ones to the practice.
