Dr. Laub has helped me as well as many others to enjoy life again. What a lot of us do not realize about our bodies is that with all of the harsh movements/positions we make everyday starting from as a child to adulthood (sports, horsing around, motor vehicle accidents,\r
falls, job duties etc) we change the position of some of the vertebra that make up our spine which disrupts communications between our brain and our body. I have seen for myself, people who were hunched over who are now straighter. People who could barely get up from sitting\r
without using assistance to get up, who now just jumps right up out of their seat with no assistance. People who had debilitating migraine headaches or vertigo that have experienced a decrease to a cessation of their symptoms all because of Dr. Laub's Chiropractic techniques\r
and treatment regimens, after many years of surgeries, medications, stuff that just wasn't fixing the problem, just masking. If I did not see this for myself or experienced a change in my life because of chiropractic care, I wouldn't believe that it could do anything. I have learned so much from Dr. Laub. He is very knowledgeable and his wide range of experiences and research make what he says that much more credible. No your not going to get healed or fixed in one treatment, years of damage is going to take some time to reverse or alleviate. For some, like myself, it might be instantaneous but it’s something that has to be maintained. Your nervous system is what your brain uses to connect to every organ in your body and if your nervous system is out of whack then you can expect to have some issues. My favorite example that he uses is ""You can't brush your teeth once a year and expect to have perfect healthy teeth right? So how can you\r
expect to have a healthy nervous system if you don't take care of it?"" If you think about it, it makes sense. You can't brush/floss your teeth once in a blue moon and expect to not end up with cavities at some point!\r

If Chiropractic got more press a lot of people could be getting the help they need. Then there are the people who are aware of these alternative medicines and poke fun at it because it’s different. What I find interesting is that these people don’t have any issues with taking prescription drugs that tell you upfront what the side effects could possibly be including death, but are very skeptical to try natural ways of healing themselves. Do I think you shouldn't use conventional medicine? Absolutely not, I believe they can work well together. But not every ailment requires prolong prescription drug use or surgery. But the thing is conventional medicine doctors are not going to refer you to a Chiropractor as an option for care, some do not believe these kinds of treatments help at all, prime example is my mother's physician questioning the effectiveness of the Traumeel. You ultimately have to find out for yourself either by curiosity or word of mouth. \r

What I like about Dr. Laub is that he explains to you in language that you can understand and visual examples of what is going on in your body that is causing your pain or discomfort. You get so in tuned with your body and eventually you know what is out of place or when you need to be adjusted. You also learn the different areas of your spine and can tell him, ""I threw my T/L out over the weekend!!"" He doesn't want to have a relationship with his patients where you are just the patient and he is the doctor or that he is superior to you. He wants to be partners with you and work as a team to achieve your ultimate wellness and is genuinely happy and relieved for you when you feel 100%.Working at Dr. Laub's office has convinced me to pursue study of natural ways to keep the body healthy and to help as many people as I can as well!\r
