Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kyle and Tabitha Garbart. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Kyle and Tabitha, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear the backstory of how you established your own practice.

Going to school prepares you for a lot of things but it does not prepare you with all the steps needed to open your own business. Preparation is key. We started planning as soon as Kyle started his 3.5 year journey in grad school. In his second quarter, we started purchasing equipment and storing it. 2 years into the program we purchased a building and started renovations. This allowed us to take our time planning out the flow and design of the office as we knew we wanted to bring a different experience when patients walked in the office.

Our office is not your typical office. We wanted something different. We wanted the office environment to be relaxing. When you walk into the building you will be greeted by a chiropractic assistant who will walk you through the check-in process. When you enter the main treatment floor you will notice the faint scent of aromatherapy that will instantly start to relax you before entering into the therapy room.

Each therapy room is furnished either with an intersegmental traction table or with a Zero Gravity Massage Chair and Himalayan Salt walls to give you a peaceful place to relax and bring calmness to your life and body. Next, you’ll have to consult with Dr. Kyle Garbart, DC, CCEP or Tabitha Garbart, DNP, RN to chat about your health-related problems and concerns, as well as potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed to understand exactly where you are at with your health and provide a roadmap to get you feeling your absolute best.

Kyle graduated on March 19, 2022, and Trident Health and Chiropractic opened its doors on April 11, 2022.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

We specialize in chiropractic care for pediatrics, adults, and geriatrics. We offer therapy services such as dry needling, myofascial release, Kinesio taping, thermostim, electrotherapy, ultrasound, light therapy, and custom orthotics. Dr. Kyle is the only Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner, an advanced certification in extremity adjusting offered by the Council on Extremity Adjusting (CEA).

During this 7-month training program, doctors of chiropractic are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat root causes of recurring pain in the spine AND extremities. Making the CCEP equipped to successfully treat TMJ, Shoulder Girdle Syndromes, Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel, Knee Subluxations, Baker’s Cysts, Sprained Ankles, Shin Splints, Foot and Gait mechanics, misaligned hips, and leg length issues.

The stability of the spine is dependent on the stability of the extremities, and vice versa. As a patient, you can have a perfectly aligned spine and still experience severe discomfort that may result from misalignment in your extremities. Misaligned extremities put additional pressure on the tissues around the joints, causing subluxations (dislocation of a joint). A spinal adjustment will not fix the root cause of the subluxation, which is a misaligned extremity.

Having a properly aligned spine AND extremities puts you on the path to optimum health. Remember, the stability of the spine is dependent on the stability of the extremities, and vice versa.

Dr. Tabitha also found that chiropractic care couples well with IV hydration therapy. IV hydration therapy can assist in treating dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, obesity, compromised immune systems, fatigue, decreased mental alertness/focus athletic performance, inflammation, hair shedding/thinning, skin conditions, brittle bones, fatigued muscles, and low metabolism. IV vitamin therapy offers clients a way to take control of their health proactively by giving them the nutrients they need in a form that’s easy for their body to use. Administering vitamins intravenously is the best way to ensure that your body gets the right doses of vitamins and minerals that promote better health and vitality.We have something for everyone who wants to heal the body naturally.

Our goal here at Trident Health and Chiropractic is to lead Spartanburg County towards optimal health with natural holistic care and we are most proud of the services that we offer Spartanburg.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

There are two primary ways we reach potential patients: word of mouth and social media marketing.

We receive a lot of patients through the referral system in our office. When patients enjoy their experience they tell others about their experience. We pride ourselves on making the office a relaxing environment that you cannot wait to come to. Each team member has an essential role in making the patient and their family members feel welcome.

We didn’t realize until we opened that social media marketing has a huge impact on helping to spread the word throughout the community about the services that you offer. We partnered early on with a marketing firm that specializes in chiropractic care. Chirobasix assists us in establishing a strong local presence.

Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?

One of the tips we would give someone who is starting any type of business is to surround yourself with like-minded people that can lift you up along your journey. That is why we joined TLC 4 Superteams coaching group. The community of professionals ensures that you have the knowledge and tools that you need to be successful. They guide you in patient care, leadership, finances, and even how to have a successful work-life balance. With them it’s not all business, it’s about the whole self. Just as an athlete depends on a coach, our coaching group guides us through it all. They are our support team.
