Why Visit a Chiropractor?
Chiropractic adjustments and different exercises can help solve a myriad of health problems and since chiropractors aim to solve the root of the problem instead of treating symptoms, the results can often last longer too.

Modalities
Our office is equipped with many different therapeutic modalities to give our patients the most options to aid in their chiropractic journey. We offer electric stimulation, non-surgical spinal decompression, acupuncture, ultrasound therapy, shockwave treatment, and massage. We use a combination of different modalities to create a customized treatment plan to fit the patient's individual needs and goals.
On-Site Digital X-Rays
X-rays are an important tool to have on hand when physical exams are not enough to see the whole picture. Chiropractors evaluate x-rays differently than your traditional doctors, going beyond diagnosing fractures and disease, but looking at overall spinal alignment, disc height and more. We also work closely with many MRI facilities in the area when it is important to evaluate soft tissue structures that x-rays cannot see.
Maternity/Prenatal
Supporting pregnancy & birth naturally. The benefits of chiropractic care while pregnant include decreased labor time & pain, increased energy, optimizing fetal position, improved sleep, and decreasing daily pain. The best time to start care is as soon as possible to allow care to integrate into the body with ease. Dr. Lauren is certified in the Webster Technique which was specially created to properly align the pelvis for a safer, more comfortable birth. To learn more about prenatal chiropractic.
Infants
Babies love Dr. Lauren…Birth trauma continues to be a severely under treated problem. Excessive force and complications during delivery can create subluxation and misalignment of the spinal column and can compromise the baby’s nervous system from day one. Some infant conditions that respond great to chiropractic care include; difficulty breastfeeding, torticollis, ear infections, reflux, colic, constipation, sleep issues/regression, and digestive issues. Adjustments for babies are SO gentle, with less force than checking the ripeness of an avocado.
Pediatrics
It’s easier to create healthy children than fix sick adults. Chiropractic benefits children at all ages and stages of development. Infants, toddlers, adolescents, and teenagers all have different growth and changes that chiropractic can help them with. It encourages healthy nervous system pathways, aids in childhood aches in pains, supports proper posture, and helps maintain a healthy immune system.

Additional Information
Acupuncture
The benefits of acupuncture are sometimes difficult to measure, but many people find it helpful as a means to control a variety of painful conditions. If you’re considering having acupuncture, it’s important to choose a qualified practitioner who uses sterile needles and carries out a thorough consultation first.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment commonly used in chiropractic and pain management clinics to address musculoskeletal conditions, such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and joint pain. It involves delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The therapy promotes increased blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair by triggering the regeneration of damaged tissues.
