Dr. John Smarch’s journey into chiropractic care began with a deeply personal experience. After witnessing the profound impact chiropractic treatment had on his father’s health and quality of life, John knew he had found his calling. That passion led him to graduate from Sherman College of Chiropractic, and soon after, he established Smarch Chiropractic in Jackson, Michigan.

With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Dr. Smarch has grown to become a pillar in the chiropractic field. He currently serves as the District 4 President of the Michigan Association of Chiropractors, advocating for high standards of care and professional development across the state. His commitment to excellence has also earned him a place as a national instructor for PulStar instrument adjusting, where he travels the country teaching other chiropractors how to master this cutting-edge technique.

Dr. Smarch was one of the first chiropractors in Michigan to integrate PulStar computer-assisted technology into his practice. He recognized early on that combining traditional hands-on methods with advanced diagnostic tools could help patients experience faster, gentler, and more precise relief. His forward-thinking mindset and patient-first approach have made him a beloved provider and a local leader in health and wellness.

But what truly sets Dr. Smarch apart is his genuine love for his patients. Known for his calming demeanor, thorough explanations, and generous spirit, he’s built life-long relationships with the individuals and families he’s helped over the years.
