1408 S Main St, Rte 31, Algonquin, IL, 60102

Dr. Lauren attended Loyola University Chicago and pursued a Bachelors in Exercise Science. Following her undergraduate degree, she continued her education at National University of Health Science in Lombard, Il. She completed her studies and clinical internship, graduating with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. She pursued additional certification outside of the traditional chiropractic curriculum in acupuncture, allowing her to provide her patients with even more holistic treatment options. Although Dr. Lauren loves treating all patients and conditions, Dr. Lauren has always had an incredible interest in women’s reproductive health and pediatrics. Following her belief that one is never done learning, she is continuing her education with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). The ICPA provides advanced training on prenatal, perinatal, and pediatric treatment. Dr. Lauren is a Webster certified physician, and is currently working towards her Certification by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP). This certification requires 200 additional hours over 19 courses, expanding her professional ability to evaluate, treat, and assess all stages of development. Dr. Lauren has seen what chiropractic has done for all types of patients and believes through chiropractic care, humans are able to adapt to their environment more easily. She works with her patients to get to the root cause of their pain and symptoms, rather than just giving them a quick fix or a “bandaid.” She works with multiple conditions including back pain, herniated discs, headaches, sinus problems, fertility, pregnancy, pediatrics, and more. Dr. Lauren believes in the power of the body to heal itself, and brings her patients that same hope. She believes that a successful patient experience starts with a genuine relationship between a patient and their provider. Dr. Lauren prides herself in her ability to connect with her patients and learn about all aspects of their life, not just their pain or symptoms. She works with her patients to build trust and friendship throughout their time during their visits, and has everyone that comes through the door in pain leaving with a smile, and usually a few laughs.
