Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Tabitha Garbart of Spartanburg

Tabitha Garbart shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Good morning Tabitha, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned about your customers?
At Trident Health and Chiropractic, it’s not just about feeling better—it’s about becoming the best version of YOU.

Our SmileLabs Teeth Whitening service has quickly become a patient favorite! Why?
Because nothing boosts confidence like a radiant, healthy smile.

🦷 Fast, safe, and effective
📸 Perfect for back-to-school, job interviews, weddings, or just feeling good
💪 A simple step toward showing up for yourself

Our patients tell us they feel happier, more confident, and ready to take on the world—and we LOVE being part of that transformation.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
You deserve a care team that takes your health seriously and makes you feel at home while doing it. At Trident, you’ll be welcomed, listened to, and treated by professionals who combine clinical expertise with genuine compassion.

Dr. Kyle Garbart, DC, CCEP
A veteran, certified extremity practitioner, and author of Healing the Trident Way, Dr. Kyle is best known for his calm presence, gentle adjustments, and deep focus on root-cause care. He treats the whole body (not just the spine) and takes the time to explain every step so that you feel informed and more empowered.

Tabitha Garbart, DNP, RN
Tabitha is a doctoral-prepared nurse and the heartbeat of the clinic. With 20+ years of nursing experience and a passion for teaching (she’s also a professor at GCU and Chamberlain), she keeps the day flowing, patients supported, and the care experience running smoothly from the moment that you step through the door.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Most people say, “I could never work with my spouse.”
At Trident, we say, “We couldn’t imagine it any other way.”

Working side by side isn’t always easy—but for us, it’s a superpower.
We thrive off each other’s energy, share the same passion for helping people, and bring out the best in one another every single day.

When you walk through our doors, you’re not just entering a clinic—you’re stepping into a place built on love, purpose, and partnership.

Our patients feel it.
Our team feels it.
And we feel blessed every day to do what we love—together.

🫶 Here’s to love, laughter, and living the Trident Way—as a team.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say one thing to my younger self…
It would be this:

“Try everything. Fail fast. Learn faster. And whatever you do—
don’t give up.”

Life will test you. You’ll have setbacks, detours, even moments where quitting feels easier. But every twist in the road leads somewhere meaningful—if you keep going.

Say yes to new experiences.
Take the leap, even when you’re unsure.
Because growth happens on the edge of comfort—and your future self is counting on you.

Now, looking back, I’m proud.
Not because the road was perfect—
But because I kept walking it.
And because I turned every lesson into fuel for purpose.

Keep moving. Keep believing.
Your best chapter might still be unwritten.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
The Biggest Lie About Chiropractic?
That it’s just about getting your back “cracked.”

At Trident Health and Chiropractic, we’re here to set the record straight:
✅ It’s not just about the spine—
It’s about the whole person.

Chiropractic is our foundation, but healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer:
🌊 SoftWave Therapy for deep cellular regeneration
💆‍♂️ Dry Needling & Myofascial Release for muscle and nerve relief
🧠 Biofield Therapy to rebalance energy
😁 SmileLabs Teeth Whitening to help patients shine from the inside out
🩴 Archies Orthotic Sandals for better foot support
🌿 Essential Oils for natural, feel-good living

We’re not in this to offer cookie-cutter care. We’re in it to do whatever it takes to help you become the best version of yourself—physically, mentally, emotionally.

And guess what?
Our patients don’t just get better—they love the journey.
Because at Trident, it’s not just treatment…
👉 It’s transformation.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
If we retired tomorrow…
Yeah, people would miss the adjustments.
They’d miss SoftWave, dry needling, the smile upgrades, and all the feel-good therapies…

But the one thing they’d miss the most?

The family-like environment.

At Trident Health and Chiropractic, we’ve built more than a clinic—we’ve built a community.
Patients become friends. Friends become family.
And every visit feels like coming home.

We know your kids’ names.
We celebrate your wins.
We show up for you—because you matter to us beyond the appointment.

This place runs on connection, compassion, and that special something you just don’t get anywhere else.

So no, we’re not retiring anytime soon
But it’s nice to know…
We’d be missed for who we are, not just what we do.
