My husband and I moved to the area in July and needed a new chiropractor... So random how Dr. Smith was recommended to me (details not important hahaha) but one thing that stuck in my mind is the lady who recommended drives an hour, monthly for adjustments-he's that good! His prices are fair (actually less expensive than most). We've been under chiropractic care for over 30yrs so definitely know what to compare this to. We were soooo pleased with our first visit! Dr. Smith's wife runs the front and is a sweetheart and he's super personable and friendly. He's thorough when determining the physical issues and explains everything well! His technique is unique and very effective! He was able to diagnose and treat us, individually and we left there feeling awesome! He's not about creating a plan, or having his patients schedule a bunch of appointments. He believes his patients should listen to their bodies and act accordingly. We really appreciate that... Looking forward to going back in two weeks! With that said... I HIGHLY recommend! read more

Jedidiah is an amazing chiropractor who genuinely cares about his clients, and really tries to get to the root of any pain or imbalance. He is very knowledgable and takes the time to explain his methods. Him and his wife Kim run a caring, honest and affordable practice that I would recommend to everyone! read more

I've been to many different chiropractors with various styles of adjustment for 30 years. Dr. Smith has the most UNUSUAL style I've seen because his work revolves around the atlas or C1. I've had a chronic left groin issue for 10+ years and was told that I had to do my PT exercises well... for the rest of my life. That lasted for 1 year. After I quit the exercises, the groin pain returned. I just had my 3rd visit with the good doctor and my groin pain is reduced 75% and that's with NO PT exercises!!! I'm encouraged that this groin issue will be cured with a few more treatments. So grateful for the referral. read more

I'm a chiropractor myself...I had never met Dr Smith before seeking his help as a patient. I've been under his care for a short time and I'm deeply impressed with his professional expertise, and the Upper Cervical chiropractic care he provides. You are in excellent hands if you choose to be a patient here. read more

My Meniere's Disease has gotten completely under control since I started with Dr. Smith about nine months ago. Prior to that, I was getting dizzy spells that could be debilitating. He sent me for x-rays which showed him exactly how to adjust my neck, so his adjustments were never hit-or-miss. He never pressures his patients into treatments they don't need, and his prices are extremely fair. It is amazing how important neck alignment is! Most MD's don't understand this. And there are not many upper cervical specialists trained under the specialized Palmer method, which Dr. Jed uses, so I was very lucky to find him. read more

Outstanding.. the location is great and easy to find. They are very accommodating regarding appointments. The waiting room/ lobby is very clean and open. Kim is incredibly professional and kind. I have been to many, many chiropractors, but Dr. smith's techniques have worked best for me. Highly recommend!, read more

Jedidiah Smith, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - Ventura, California

I just moved to Ojai from Lancaster, Ca. During my move I had fallen down two steps onto the floor. (Thank God I didn't break anything.) And 3 weeks ago, I was getting out of my car and twisted my left knee, which set me back on movement to continue unpacking my boxes and setting up my house! (a little history) In 1994 I went to a Chiropractor for the first time ever in my life. My neck had tremendous pain, with minimal range of motion. My friend recommended a local chiropractor in Lancaster. Little did I know she was an Upper Cervical Chiropractor. She taught me about the method of Upper Cervical Chiropractic. The treatment she provided with this method gave me my life back. One statement I remember, "When a car runs over a bump and knocks it out of alignment, you may need to get you car realigned. So when you fall this may knock your back/cervical out of alignment, which may need an adjustment. with treatment" Because of my fall before I moved to Ojai, I knew I needed to be adjusted. After moving here to Ventura area, I looked for an Upper Cervical Chiropractor in YELP. I was so thrilled to had found Dr. Smith. I wrote online to his office with a few questions, #1 Does he use Thompson Drop Table? #2 Does he use an Actuator? I received a call back form his office that gave me the answers that I needed to make an appointment. Dr. Jedidiah Smith and his office are 'people friendly' and professional. Dr. Jedidiah Smith is extremely knowledgeable, he explains what is going on in your cervical area and what method he is doing for the results you need. I noticed a difference my first night. I slept the best I had in months. No more brain fog, more energy. (except my knee was still repairing. Had to stay off of it most of the time) The second day after my first adjustment, I was talking on the phone with my sister. I had dropped my neck to my shoulder to hold my phone up to my ear as I talked. And then!!! I realized my adjustment took a hit. I called Dr. Smiths office for an appointment to be readjusted and I was able to get back in that afternoon. I highly recommend Dr. Jedidiah Smith!!! read more

It is very refreshing to find a chiropractor who is very willing to explain how his techniques will get you well. I have had nothing but positive experiences at his office and every time I get adjusted I feel like I'm getting better! read more

I have experienced five different forms of chiropractic care over a number of decades, & this is the most effective treatment I've received. Dr. Smith's warm smile & easy manner belie his mastery of the science of upper cervical chiropractic. (He does work with & address the entire spine.) With great precision & patience, he walked me through my x-rays & explained my needs & our goals. His dedication to his craft, & his thorough knowledge of it, combine with his skill to create excellent results. After many years of chronic neck & shoulder tension/pain, I am finally experiencing great relief! Two friends I trust in the health field, one a naturopathic physician, & the other a massage therapist, both recommended him highly, & I'm grateful they did! read more

After an injury in 1992, I have had MANY chiropractor visits. Trying to fix my injury. I have never known there was a cervical chiropractor. This third generation chiropractor was the best thing I have ever run across. He has been a blessing knowing what was wrong, and explaining how it happened, and how to fix it. I have and will continue to encourage people with neck and back injuries to pay this guy a visit. I have gone 24 years after a horrible swimming accident thinking I have to accept this for the rest of my life. It wasn't, and I feel blessed. read more

I always feel reborn after an adjustment. My body always feels compacted in my spine. A couple monthly visits helps significantly. I plan to continue working with Dr. Smith because he is so caring & helpful. read more

I have been going to Dr. Smith for over a year now, and he is hands down the BEST Chiropractor I have ever been to and one of the best doctors that I've ever received treatment from!! The upper cervical adjustments and other treatment he uses set him apart from typical chiropractic care, making him incredibly more effective. I really appreciate how knowledgable and patient he is, how he genuinely listens to you when you explain what's going on, and how he focuses on truly doing all he can to help you feel better and not just enough so that you come back for more sessions. One time he told me "hope we don't see you", implying that hopefully I would feel well enough to where I don't need to come back, and that mindset keeps me coming back on the rare times I need it or I push myself too far. I was referred to him by my mom, who was referred by friends who have gone to him for years, and he has helped several I know greatly, especially my mom who got very little help from traditional medical treatment after a bad car accident, but in 5 sessions with Dr. Smith, relieved 80-90% of her pain and it has since stayed away as long as she doesn't overdo it. He has helped me with my shoulder, neck, mid back and low back issues caused by a car accident and overuse/work injuries. Shoulder, neck and mid back are no longer issues, and low back only reoccurs if I'm not careful or I think I'm Superman, haha. To finish my review, I have to mention how wonderful Dr. Smith's wife Kim is. She's the one who runs the show at the front desk. She always greets you with a smile, is very pleasant and accomodating when calling in to make an appointment, and adds so much to the experience of getting treatment here! So needless to say, I recommend Dr. Smith 100%! read more

Migraines gone and energy back after seeing him, every session always leaves me feeling great. I've been to many chiropractors but obviously a cervical chiropractor is very different and actually works! Would definitely recommend to any age. read more

I cannot recommend dr smith highly enough. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I only wish we still lived close enough to be continued customers! read more

About 2 months ago I went to see Jedidiah for some neck issues I had been having. He spent a few minutes with me, did a couple manipulations. Shortly after my visit (within 1~ hour) I was experiencing mid back pain (never had back pain in this area). It also aggravated my neck issues. Been 2 months since I've seen him, and I've had and been having chronic back pain in the same mid back area for these entire 2 months. Neck still worse than before I saw him. read more
