About Synaptic Chiropractic

Synaptic Chiropractic is a chiropractic practice in Westbrook, Maine serving people in Southern Maine with a brain-based approach to care. The clinic is led by Dr. Andrea Smith, a neurologically based chiropractor and owner of the practice. She is a graduate of Life University and also completed advanced training in BioGeometric Integration. The practice centers its work on how physical, chemical, and emotional stress affect the nervous system, and it uses that information to guide care. Adults and children are both seen at the practice, and the website also notes services for newborns, teens, and older adults. Synaptic Chiropractic describes itself as a family practice and emphasizes gentle, individualized care.

Services highlighted on the website include NeuroInfiniti Stress Response Evaluations, neuro-chiropractic care, chiropractic adjustments, myofunctional therapy, massage, cupping, and BrainTap sessions. Care begins with a detailed first visit that reviews symptoms, health history, and goals, followed by a computerized stress response evaluation and other assessments when needed. Dr. Smith then develops a personalized care plan and tracks progress with repeat evaluations. The clinic says it works with concerns such as pain, headaches, neck and back discomfort, sciatica, posture-related issues, anxiety, depression, fatigue, concentration problems, sleep difficulties, digestive complaints, allergies, and stress-related symptoms. Adjustments are described as light-force, specific, and instrument-assisted using an ArthroStim, rather than popping or twisting. Synaptic Chiropractic also notes that pediatric care is delivered with a gentle approach and may include evaluation of primitive reflexes, brain balance, and autonomic function. Alongside chiropractic care, the practice presents wellness guidance as part of ongoing care, with attention to stress recovery, better function, and long-term health support.
