Meet the Doctor

Dr. Amanda Smicklas's chiropractic career was influenced by a childhood sledding accident in Lima, Ohio. At age 8, after falling off her sled and rolling down the hill, the following morning she woke-up in excruciating back and neck pain and was unable to turn her head.  As a result, her parents had planned on taking her to the emergency room. In an effort to avoid a trip to the hospital, her grandmother insisted that they take her to the Chiropractor first. It was this initial visit and the compassion she experienced that changed Dr. Amanda Smicklas's life forever.  

She attended The Ohio State University for undergraduate studies, and went on to receive her D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic Degree) from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.

Dr. Amanda Smicklas practiced in Detroit, Michigan for 4 years before moving with her husband Joel to Hermosillo, Mexico for his job. During this time, they had visited NW Tucson regularly and loved the community, making the choice to relocate to NW Tucson an easy one. She enjoys hiking, reading, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

We utilize a "whole person approach". This approach to wellness means looking for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and make whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments that would optimize the conditions for normal function. Using this unique approach, Dr. Smicklas is able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to good health.

Dr. Amanda Smicklas helps patients from the Tucson, NW Tucson, Marana and Oro Valley area's.
