SMART Chiropractic

What an amazing experience! Where do I start…
As a new patient experiencing severe muscle pain in my shoulder, he got me in after hours on the day I called. I was recommended by a friend, as I’ve never been to a chiropractor skeptically. He is fully specialized and is an expert in sports med as well.
Thoroughly explained all procedures he was performing with advice/​feedback. This guy knows his stuff!
The BEST part, after 1 day I am almost pain free. Thank you Dr. Holt. Amazing service and practice!

No gimmicks, no sales pitch! Just one of the most knowledgeable doctors you will ever meet. No other chiropractor has been able to control my migraine headaches like Dr. Holt. Don’t bother going anywhere else for chiropractic. If he can’t help you, you probably need to go to the emergency room!

Dr. Holt provides the most enlightening, entertaining, educational, and effective chiropractic services I have experienced thus far. Fast results, no sales pitch, and always a homework assignment. If you are serious about feeling good, go check out SMART!

Great chiropractor. Extremely skilled in the profession. Great personality. Has help me a lot with neck issues.

Dr. Holt is the absolute best chiropractor I have ever been to, bar none. He is ridiculously smart and incredibly good at what he does and I can’t say enough good things about him. Every time I’ve been to see him, I walk away amazed at how much better I feel or know I am going to feel. Compared to other chiropractors I’ve been to, Dr. Holt’s service and skill far outshine the competition: he gives each patient personalized, high quality attention; he knows his stuff and explains everything he does so you feel incredibly well cared for; his approaches and techniques are very hands on and holistic (he’s excellent at identifying and correcting root causes — I loved that he taped my back to help correct/​retrain my posture, he gave me the tip to lay on the floor with a heavy book on my stomach for 5 minutes each day to help improve my diaphragm breathing to stimulate my parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress, and when I mentioned in passing knee issues from having misplaced patellas, he recommended strengthening certain muscles to reduce pain and it worked! these are just a handful of examples.); and you’ll never come in to his office and experience a circuit of drones doing exercises on machines only to be rushed through 2 minutes of adjustments/​back cracking, he really takes the time to address all of your symptoms and correct them as thoroughly and efficiently as possible. On top of all of that, he’s an incredibly friendly guy that is super passionate about what he does, and going to him had my back (which has experienced multiple sports injuries from soccer, pole vaulting, snow boarding and cross country) feeling better than it ever has in my entire life. I wish I still lived in Santa Barbara, two years in San Diego and I have yet to find anyone as amazing as Dr. Holt!

One of the best chiropractic adjustments I have had, and I have been to quite a few over the years. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed!!!

The best chiropractor in the area by far! Ben Holt has done wonders for me. I’m writing this review in hopes that others will go to him to find the relief they’re looking for like I was. I had seen 3 different chiropractors in the area before finding Dr. Holt. Ben is without question the most professional and skilled of the ones I’ve seen.

Santa Barbara’s best kept sports medicine dr! 20 years of pain in my legs, restless legs, dislocated knee issues to a point I couldn’t sleep until I found dr Holt. A good friend of mine recommended Dr. Holt knowing my issues and was 100% correct in the fact you get immediate results after a session. His attention to detail helps identify the core root of the issue instead of trying to find a quick fix. I have been seeing Dr. Holt for a few months now and I’m really pleased with our progress. On one of the first sessions I had with smart chiropractic I asked about knee surgery and he assured me we have many alternatives and with a little hard work I would be back up an active in no time, he was right. His extensive work with Olympic athletes doesn’t hurt either!
