Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Whitefish, MT?

No. You can schedule directly with our Whitefish clinic — no physician referral required. Most patients from Whitefish and across the Flathead Valley call us first when back pain, neuropathy, or an injury starts limiting what they love to do.

How far is your clinic from Whitefish?

We're located on Highway 93 South in Whitefish, MT — easy to reach from Whitefish and the surrounding Flathead Valley communities including Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Somers, Big Fork, Eureka, Kila, Polson, Hungry Horse, Coram, Ronan, and Libby.

Do you treat peripheral neuropathy without medication or surgery?

Yes. Our neuropathy program combines advanced electro-medical technology, nerve re-education, and targeted nutritional support to address the underlying cause of nerve damage — not just mask the symptoms. Most patients see measurable improvement without drugs or invasive procedures.

What conditions do you most commonly treat?

We focus on peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, herniated and bulging discs, chronic low-back and neck pain, knee pain, headaches and migraines, sports injuries, and pediatric and prenatal care. Each plan is built around your specific diagnosis and goals.

Is chiropractic care safe for active outdoor lifestyles?

Absolutely — it's built for them. Skiers, hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, and trail runners across Northwest Montana use chiropractic care to recover faster, prevent injury, and keep moving through every season around Glacier National Park and Whitefish Mountain Resort.

Do you accept insurance?

We're a cash-based practice, which lets Dr. Smith design care around what's best for you instead of what an insurance company will approve. We offer transparent pricing, flexible payment plans, and HSA/FSA acceptance. See our Payment Options page for details.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

New patients can usually be seen within a few days. Call us to find a time that works — and ask about our new patient special when you book.

Our Practice

An alternative approach to healthcare in the Flathead Valley.

Big Mountain Chiropractic & Neuropathy was founded to give Whitefish, Kalispell, and the surrounding Flathead Valley a real alternative to surgery, injections, and long-term medication — by addressing the cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

Our philosophy

We believe the body has a profound ability to heal itself when interference is removed. Joints that move properly, nerves that fire cleanly, tissue that gets the right inputs — that's the foundation of how we practice.

Predicated on the vision that quality of life is improved through routine chiropractic care and evidence-based wellness techniques, we treat the cause, not just the symptoms. Our patients come to us tired of being told to "live with it" — and find that they don't have to.
