S.M.A.R.T.
Pain relief protocol
Shannon Lipburger, chiropractor and founder, has designed a protocol to help structure individual care plans.
All chiropractors at High Performance Chiropractic use this protocol so your care plan is specific, measurable and reviewed against agreed timeframes.

S.M.A.R.T. stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
We aim for results specifically tailored to each individual. The optimal sequence and duration of this protocol is determined using the “Biomechanical Performance Score” during the initial consultation.
