Our Mission
Our Mission at Life Care Family Wellness & Chiropractic is to help families build stronger bodies. We do so by finding the root cause of what is causing their health issues. Or goal is to:
- Find the Root Cause
- Get your body
- moving better
- Feeling Better
- Prevent future issues
From the moment our patients walk through the door we treat them like family. We have a non-judgmental environment, and we want you to feel welcomed and safe to express all of their health goals and wishes. We are here to serve you and your family!
Our Vision
We love people of all ages, but we have a special place in our hearts for babies, children, and pregnant mommas. Dr. Kristin has undergone many years of post-graduate work aimed at pediatric and peri-natal care. At Life Care Family Wellness & Chiropractic, you and your littles ones are always welcome and to be honest, we can’t wait to meet them!
Do You Take Insurance?
Insurance companies are a business which means their goal is to make money, not provide healthcare. We have seen an increase in premiums for less service. These increased premiums have also come with more paperwork and an increase in denials.
We are all for capitalism, however, we would like to see healthcare put back in the hands of patients and their physicians. Our solution for this issue is affordable family health care that can be paid for before you leave the office. A visit to our office is usually the same cost and at times less expensive than a visit to another chiropractic office that accepts insurance. If you have insurance, we can provide you with the appropriate documentation to file with your insurance provider if you want to submit a claim.
Our Space
With that being said, Dr. Smith does treat the whole family and welcomes everyone to visit her. We have made it a goal to create a positive, safe, and fun atmosphere for everyone. You will find that our waiting room is stocked with lots of fun things for your little ones to do while here. We even have activities in our adjusting rooms to keep them playing while you are getting treated.
We also understand that children’s spines are not like adult spines and they may not understand what or how a Chiropractic Adjustment works. So when Dr. Smith adjusts your little one; she does so with the utmost care. With that being said, we provide specialized equipment and sensory activities so that it can be a low-stress, and pleasant experience. This helps us correct their spine gently, specifically, and efficiently.

Client Testimonials
Before I was pregnant I would visit Dr. Smith at her Slidell office for routine maintenance. I would basically visit every time my neck was stiff or my back would go out. I never thought about needing chiropractic care when I was pregnant until I started experiencing ligament pain. These pains would get so bad, it was hard to walk. After belly bands and other things would not work I called Dr. Smith begging for relief! Within one or two visits I was back on my feet.
Not only has she helped me, she has also helped my daughter. Playing the formula game with an infant was not fun. Her sleep was off, her belly full of gas and this momma was done! One day I was getting adjusted and she said, let me take a look. Let’s just say, from that moment on we made sure to get in atleast once a month. Dr. Kristin Smith is truly a wealth of knowledge that cares about her patients. Everyone I have sent there usually calls me and says something they’ve learned from her. I can’t recommend her enough. She truly is Slidell, La best chiropractor!
From the first visit that my wife and I had, to even the kids it's been great. The front office secretary is amazing. The customer service is top notch. She remembers names, kids, places you've vacationed too, goals etc. This is who you need as the first face people see when coming into a doctors office.
I haven't had any experiences with the other doctors, but they do at least acknowledge you when they enter the waiting room. Which by the way is never really long. Longest wait was maybe 15 min. And that's only because my whole family (5 of us) was going in to get adjusted.
Doc Kristen makes you feel at home, never really seems rushed, she's always looking for feedback as to your condition what works what doesn't. She never forces the crack unlike 2 other chiropractors I've seen....there's no "wing dinger"! (YouTube that Apparently you can make a mess doing that)
She's amazing it's just plain and simple. She seems to truly care about her patients. We've been seeing her for a couple of years now. She'll straighten you out!
I first visited Dr. Smith due to pregnancy pains.
She took the time out to get to know me and ask questions about where my pains were located, how severe they were, what triggered them, and how long I had been having them for.
She is super knowledgeable and gives in-depth details about why certain pains may be occurring and is never bothered by all of my questions.
After my second adjustment, I felt a huge difference and continued seeing her for weekly appointments.
Needless to say, I was able to give birth to my baby naturally with no pain medication and I give all credit to Dr. Smith for aligning my body and making labor and delivery smooth sailing!!
I recommend anyone, pregnant or not to see her as she will make your body feel more mobile and symmetrical.
My newborn is now a new patient of hers and I look forward to all the benefits chiropractic care will provide for my baby.
Thanks again Dr. Smith and staff!! You are always the highlight of my week!!!
