Get to Know Your Caring and Experienced Chiropractor

Dr. Lawson brings over 30 years of healthcare experience to her practice. After 18 years in respiratory therapy, she found her true calling in chiropractic care and has practiced since 1994. Her passion for continuous learning has led to certifications in extremity adjusting, Webster technique, corrective exercises, functional neurology, and a master's degree in clinical nutrition and functional medicine.

Personalized Care That Puts You First

Dr. Lawson's patients typically need only one or two visits monthly, not three weekly appointments like many clinics recommend. She accomplishes this by teaching you how to maintain your adjustments between visits through targeted exercises and lifestyle modifications. The focus is always on your long-term wellness, not creating dependency on frequent adjustments.

Treatment Tailored to
Your Unique Needs

Your body doesn't fit a template, so why should your care? Dr. Lawson draws from dozens of different chiropractic techniques to match your specific needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all approach. From gentle, non-force methods for those who dislike "popping" to more traditional adjustments, your comfort and preferences matter.

Your first visit includes a thorough assessment of your posture, movement patterns, and health history. Our detailed approach often uncovers issues standard medical exams miss.

Beyond the Adjustment

Relief from pain is just the beginning at Lawson Family Chiropractic. Dr. Lawson integrates functional neurology, clinical nutrition , corrective exercises, cold laser therapy, manual therapy, and electrotherapies into her care plans. This combination helps patients with conditions ranging from everyday back pain to complex autoimmune disorders find lasting improvement.

Her background in respiratory therapy, veterinary assistance, and extensive chiropractic education creates a depth of knowledge rarely found in a single practitioner.
