Dr. Lorraine Smaagaard received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree, with Summa Cum Laude honors, from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 2010.  Hailing from Canada, she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor's degree in Business in 2003 with the highest honors, then switched gears and completed her pre-medical education also at the University of Saskatchewan.  She chose a career in chiropractic due to her personal struggle with pain management following a car accident. Chiropractic gave her back her life, and she is forever grateful for the experience of living with pain, and her amazing recovery with quality chiropractic care!  

Dr. Lorraine uses an adjusting approach that draws on her specialties in applied kinesiology, motion palpation diagnosing and expert muscle release techniques.   She adjusts the spine, cranial bones and extremities utilizing drop-piece, activator and manual diversified techniques. Dr. Lorraine is also certified in acupuncture and graston technique. She is a very thorough and caring practitioner, spending more time with each patient than the typical chiropractor in order to provide them with the best possible treatment and results. Dr. Lorraine has a sincere enthusiasm for patient well-being and her whole body technique complements this passion.

Dr. Lorraine has been practicing in the Woodbury area since 2010 and opened Woodbury Family Chiropractic (WFC) in early 2014. She was inspired to offer people a 'wholehearted' chiropractic experience where adjustments are customized and complemented with expert-level muscle work and body balancing. Currently, Dr. Lorraine works as the operator and chief officer of WFC.
