=== TESTIMONIALS ===
“Dr. LaHood is awesome! He is really intentional about informing you on what’s wrong, what each treatment does, and making sure you feel comfortable! Personally, I’ve always preferred massages over chiropractic visits, but the treatments in place at Advanced Chiropractic are different than any chiropractic center I’ve experienced. I’m excited to continue to visit and feel better!
4/21/25 UPDATE
One of my jobs requires me to stand sometime over 12 hours straight. Last Spring (2024), I would work a shift, and then HAVE to come get adjusted before my next shift. Last weekend, I worked 2 days in a row, standing for 13 hours and then 9 hours the next day. I noticed the following day that I had absolutely no back pain…not even a little soreness! My back actually felt great! Thank you, Dr. Lahood!”
“They really care and Taylor your treatment to your specific needs. My sciatica is improving every day! I could hardly walk. I still have pain but I am sleeping better and have more mobility and less burning. Great place. Very friendly and clean!”
“I have been seeing Dr. LaHood for about a year now and have had amazing results!! I was rear-ended in a car accident in February of 2024 and since then have had a plethora of issues with my back and neck! Dr. LaHood listened to my struggles and formulated a plan to treat the discomfort my body was suffering from! Since my accident I have been getting migraines about 4x a week. Since I’ve been going to Advanced Chiropractic my headaches have become less and when I do get them I can usually get them to resolve within a few hours instead of taking days. Thank you Dr. LaHood for your excellent care! Cheers to wellness and taking care of our bodies!”
