Dr. Laina Shulman, DC

As a teenager diagnosed with scoliosis, I was too familiar with the concept of living in discomfort. The advice was always the same: “Learn to live with the pain.” But deep down, I knew there had to be a better way to manage my condition.

Fast forward to my pre-medical studies, when severe headaches began to plague my days, making it nearly impossible to focus on my studies. The suggestion of painkillers didn’t sit well with me—I wanted to get to the root of my headaches and solve the problem, not just mask the pain.

In my search for answers, a friend suggested chiropractic care, and though skeptical, I was desperate for relief. That decision changed my life. My chiropractor found that the cause of my headaches was nerve irritation in my neck, something that could be addressed with chiropractic adjustments. To my amazement, not only did my headaches disappear, but so did other symptoms I thought I’d have to live with forever.

This experience had a profound effect on me. It led me to shift my career path from medicine to chiropractic, driven by a profound belief in the body’s ability to heal naturally.

As a female chiropractor…

Chiropractic care isn’t just my profession—it’s a way of life. I understand how debilitating chronic pain can be, along with the uncertainty and stress that come with it.

As a female chiropractor, I’ve experienced firsthand how a strong foundation of health makes all the difference at every stage of life. From practicing through pregnancy to raising two boys and now navigating my late 50s, I know that chiropractic and wellness principles have helped me stay active, do what I love, and feel my best.

I feel lucky to do this work, helping people feel more like themselves again and get back to what they enjoy.
