patient success stories
I started care with Dr. Laux because of back discomfort and pain which grew to severe radiating in hips and down legs for the last 7-8 years. The “back specialist” scheduled me for surgery. After my husband and I read the surgery info, we cancelled the surgery and chose to try chiropractic care.
Before starting care all areas of my life became uncomfortable at times. Standing for any length of time, my feet would begin to go numb and walking would make my lower legs and feet begin to tingle. I had to sit and that wasn’t always comfortable. When sleeping, turning over in bed became almost impossible without the use of my hands and arms for support.
Since starting care while still not pain free or free from all discomfort, I’m living more comfortably. With daily back exercises and “icing” and Dr. Laux’s treatment, I’m doing better. I’m able to move around with less pain and sleep more comfortably. I’m not taking Tylenol every evening.
Dr. Laux and staff are friendly and outgoing. They are willing to listen and make themselves available to you. I notice this with everyone who walks through the door.
I would highly recommend people to come to Laux Chiropractic. I have told others and given them literature; but in a more personal way, I have told them of my experience.
Marilyn Alexander, Wapakoneta
I started chiropractic care because of leg pain that had been bothering me for 6 years. Before starting care, my leg pain was so bad at work that I had to change jobs, which was a $500 per week cut in pay. The pain was so bad that it would bring tears to my eyes. My family time was negatively affected-my granddaughter asked “Why does paw paw just sit in his chair?” That hurt my heart. Something had to change! Chores were difficult, every step hurt, so my wife (a very good woman) would help a lot. I love running and walking; I couldn’t do either. That was depressing. I would wake up with pain several times a night. Being tired all the time made me grumpy.
Since starting care I now work pain free and it’s a lot more fun. I can do more with everyone. I’m not a couch potato anymore. I am happier now. I can take care of my own work around the house; I don’t have to depend on others. I still don’t run (Doc’s orders), but walk 15+ miles per week…PAIN FREE! I am now getting 7 hours of good sleep. No waking up to change positions to try to lose the pain.
You saw the same x-rays that the other doctors saw, but you did something about it. I heard a lot of “I don’t knows” from the other doctors. Not here!
If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic, I would tell them ‘I had severe leg pain for over 6 years. My family doctor and several specialists could not find the answer. 3 weeks with Dr. Laux and company and I was pain free.’ That just about says it all!
Tom Avery, Lima
I had been receiving chiropractic care for years. It did not help my fibromyalgia symptoms so I started care with Dr. Laux.
Before starting care with Dr. Laux, I couldn’t focus due to chronic fatigue, vertigo and pain. I had to push to do work. There was little quality time with my grandchildren. My condition limited what chores I could do and how long I could do them. I distanced myself from my friends because I felt I couldn’t keep up. My pain caused me to awaken many times during the night resulting in sleep deprivation.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux I’m more optimistic about working. The “fibro fog” has decreased. I can enjoy riding bikes, playing with grandchildren and spending time with my husband. I now have better endurance for household and outside chores.
I’m spending more time with friends and doing the things I enjoy. My sleep has improved; I am not experiencing as much night-time pain in my hips, back or legs.
Dr. Laux’s approach differs from other chiropractors I have been to because he places emphasis on the posture and rehabilitation. He teaches you a stretching routine and there’s lots of education.
If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic, I would tell them to seriously consider a care plan, put themselves and their health first because they deserve it. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Laux’s enthusiasm and passion is catching!
Dawn B., Spencerville
I began chiropractic care with Dr. Laux because I had suffered with fibromyalgia for 8 years. The pain was most intense in my neck, upper back/shoulders and in my lower back.
Before I began care, I could not have held down a job even if I had to because of the pain. I didn’t want to play and do things with my children because I hurt too much. I was always “on edge” because of the pain. I decided not to join the bowling league that my husband and I used to participate in because of the pain in my neck and arm. My children had to do a lot of the chores around the house because simple things like running the vacuum would cause me to suffer for the rest of the day. My quality of sleep was very poor. I would wake up several times per night trying to get comfortable.
Since starting with Dr. Laux, I am in a much better mood, I have more energy and I have a good feeling of well being. Now that I am feeling better, I am looking forward to the summer and all the activities with my family. My sleeping has improved greatly and I actually wake up feeling rested. I am doing my own cleaning and I am actually cleaning my brother’s home as well!
I’m so glad I found Dr. Laux. He has helped me feel better in just a short period of time. He is very informative, always explaining what and why we are doing something.
Debbie B., Spencerville
I started care with Dr. Laux after previous chiropractic care was not successful in treating low back pain and left leg pain. That led to MRI, diagnosis of herniated disc, failed epidurals and I was faced with surgery as the only option recommended.
Before starting care I couldn’t sit longer than 15 minutes. Standing in the same position and driving caused immense pain. Mowing, cleaning, laundry and everything involving bending and lifting were grueling. Bike riding, exercising at the YMCA, water skiing and walking for exercise all became non-existent. Sleeping was burdensome and laborious; I couldn’t find a comfortable position and changing positions was agonizing.
Since going through the decompression program sitting and driving are all performed almost effortlessly. I have able to perform my chores with no indication of back pain, but with some hesitation to avoid re-injury. I had forgotten how relaxing an uninterrupted night’s sleep can be.
Dr. Laux’s office is different than other doctor’s office because in most offices, you are only a name on a clipboard that is read when an examination room becomes available. But here, the entire staff knows you by name and is concerned about your health.
Dr. Laux’s approach to chiropractic care is different because the focus of care involves correcting the problem long-term and not just treating the symptoms for immediate, short-term relief.
I would recommend anyone with back, neck and migraine problems to consider an evaluation by Dr. Laux. In many instances, we have neglected our bodies (overweight, improper lifting, etc.) that contribute to many of the common back problems and it takes time to undo the damage. Surgery for immediate relief does not seem like a long-term treatment if a person continues to abuse their body by not exercising and strengthening the muscles.
M. Bolek, Lima
I began treatment at Laux Chiropractic due to neck and upper back pain related to a car accident. Pain was restricting my life. At work, I was unable to fully do all of my job duties without pain. At home, I stopped physical activities with my family because I couldn’t do them without pain.
Since receiving care from Dr. Laux, I am now able to do my job without pain. I am once again able participate in physical activities with my kids.
Laux Chiropractic is a very friendly atmosphere and the staff is very sincere on helping everyone to get better.
If someone asked me about going to Dr. Laux, I would tell them to try it. Dr. Laux and his staff are sincerely interested in your health and well being for the future, as well as the present.
Michael Bowers, Lima
I came to Laux Chiropractic with severe headaches that had been bothering me for several months. The headache pain caused me to have to sleep a lot and the painkillers weren’t working.
Since receiving care, my headaches have stopped and I have much better mobility in my neck. Dr. Laux is very knowledgeable and very good at what he does. I continue to recommend him to family and friends.
Shawn Briley, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because I had severe lower back pain that I could not get relief from.
Before starting care I had difficulty doing ordinary chores around my home and yard. I could not enjoy a lot of recreational activities and I was unable to find a comfortable position to sleep in.
Since starting care, all areas of activity in my life have improved. I am able to do much more around the house and yard. I enjoy my recreational time more and am much more comfortable trying to sleep.
Laux Chiropractic is different from other doctors’ offices in that he did 100% more physical check-up before any treatment when no other office has ever done this. His chiropractic approach is also different in that it is specifically designed for the patient’s long term heath.
I definitely would recommend seeing Dr. Laux. I have already told family members about the good results that I have had.
R.H. Brown, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because my hips and legs had been bothering me for some time and were getting steadily worse. Before starting care I was not able to walk or stand for very long. My legs would bother me when going down steps and they would go numb while I did the dishes. The fact that I could not walk very far hindered any kind of recreation. When I would wake up in the morning my hips and lower back were very stiff.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux I can stand much longer than before and it is getting better as the weeks go by. My legs do not bother me going up the steps; I can do dishes with no discomfort. I’m back to exercising again and when I get up in the morning I am not nearly as stiff.
If you are sincere in wanting to get help and are tired of hurting this is the place to go. For over 25 years and using several different chiropractors, I would get temporary relief for a few hours but I would continue to have pain until my next appointment. Since seeing Dr. Laux I have relief from the pain all the time by simply performing my home exercise and seeing Dr. Laux occasionally to manage my improvement.
Dean Claypool, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because of a football injury and also as an alternative to surgery.
Before starting care work was difficult. I was in constant pain and the pain was intense enough that it caused exhaustion. I had to stop doing certain activities, both with my family and recreationally, or at the very least limiting how much I did. I had to change my way of doing chores. I could still sleep well, but I had to be extremely careful getting out of bed.
Since starting care I can perform all of my work duties—I just have to correct how I do them. My family time is much improved and all of my chores are easier to do. I have even started participating in recreational activities that I had stopped doing prior to treatment. I can even get out of bed now without being in pain.
Laux Chiropractic has a friendly and familiar feeling to the office. Dr. Laux always has an explanation for what and why he is treating a problem in a certain way.
I would recommend Laux Chiropractic and their services to anyone. I would tell them how my back and neck were before and how much better they are now that I have received treatment with Dr. Laux.
Hal Christopher, Ada
Before starting care with Laux Chiropractic, I suffered with severe pain and muscle spasms in my lower back and legs. My household chores were very limited. I could only stand in one place for ten minutes before pain started in my back. I couldn’t do too many recreational activities, except for my daily walks. Sleeping was difficult as the pain in my legs and back would get so severe I would have to get up and walk.
Since receiving care, I can now do my chores without having to rest so often. I can now go dancing and got to flea markets without having to take a break to rest. I can walk farther now than before. I sleep well now and very seldom have any pain.
At Dr. Laux’s office, I don’t feel like I am at a doctor’s office: everyone is so friendly that it feels more like a family reunion. If someone told me they were thinking about coming to Laux Chiropractic, I would say, “Don’t think about it, do it! If you’ve been suffering from back pain and want relief, make an appointment with Dr. Laux. You won’t regret it; I didn’t regret it at all.
Carlotta Crites, Cridersville
Since getting treatment from Dr. Laux in 2002-2003,I haven't had any migraine headaches. I’ve had migraines since a football collision in 1985. Since going to Dr. Laux, I haven't had any "disabling" migraines where I lose most of my vision, vomit and just have to go home and go to bed. Dr. Laux's care was very thorough and he's very informative. I appreciate the way he takes time to explain things. Headache free since 2003!
Nic Delamotte, Lima
I first came to see Dr. Laux for low back, hip and leg pain due to a herniated disc in my lower back.
At work, I had to be careful of what I did. Even with being careful, I ended up temporarily paralyzed. I received shots in my spine and was told surgery was the way to go. Family time was affected because I could not sit or walk for a long period of time. Household chores went the same way—I constantly had to take breaks.
Since coming to Laux Chiropractic, things have changed drastically for me. I didn’t have to have surgery and I have gone back to work. I can spend time with family and I don’t have to take breaks while cleaning my home. I can participate in any recreational activity I want and I am sleeping all night long.
With Dr. Laux, I have been able to work on my health problems without drugs or surgery. He took the time to actually take care of me and he makes sure that I am doing fine. I recommend giving Laux Chiropractic a chance—you will not regret it. You will feel like a brand new person.
Shannan Durham, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because I had burning, tingling and numbness in my feet for over a year.
Before starting care, I couldn’t wait to get home from work, get off my feet and take my shoes off. My family time was affected because I couldn’t run around with my grandkids. My sleep was diminished because I would have to wake up and massage my feet.
Since starting with Dr. Laux, my feet don’t hurt at all. I can run around barefoot in the yard with my grandkids. I sleep a lot better and sleep all night.
If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic I would tell them that Dr. Laux is very informative; he tells you like it is and he takes time to talk with you.
Karen Eberle, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux due to severe pain in my left hip and leg due to a herniated disc in my lower back. I couldn’t work. I couldn’t do my household chores or recreational activities. I was unable to attend a wedding and my granddaughter’s graduation in Columbus.
Since receiving care, I have better quality family time, my recreational activities are back to normal and I can now do household chores again.
Laux Chiropractic is an outstanding and friendly office to go to and I highly recommend him.
Robert Fleck, Uniopolis
I started care with Dr. Laux due to terrible back and leg pain with limited mobility.
Before starting care, I had difficulty lifting merchandise and driving in the truck for extended periods of time. It was very difficult to do yard work and housework. I got very little sleep. I would sleep for awhile, then wake up and reposition to try to ease the pain.
Since receiving care, I can get in and out of the truck and handle my work load. I can do my chores with little or no pain. I am sleeping well in any position.
Dr. Laux’s office is different because it’s like a family affair, everyone is very friendly.
If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic for care I would tell them to try it, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Steven Ford, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because of two herniated discs, one of which was huge.
Before starting care I had to take frequent breaks at work and the amount of chores I could do was limited. I couldn’t walk very far so recreational time was limited as well. Also, family time was affected because I couldn’t pick up my daughter anymore.
Since receiving care, work is now 100% better. I no longer have to take breaks at work and I have no limitations on the chores I can do. I am now able to walk longer distances without problems and lifting my daughter is no longer an issue.
Laux Chiropractic is very different from other offices I have been to. Dr. Laux worked on actually fixing the underlying problem for my back pain, rather than just treating the symptoms. He also conducted a thorough exam before any adjustments were made.
If anyone were thinking of coming to Dr. Laux, I would tell them , “Go!” It’s worth trying it out. I was at the end of the line and the doctors had nothing left to try. Going to Laux Chiropractic is what kept me off the surgery table. I am completely pain free now and no longer have to take all the pain pills I had to take before. The best part is that I don’t have to tell my daughter that I can’t pick her up. When I do pick her up, she asks “Is your back all better?” and I can say “Yes!!”
Jessica Geiger-Hayes, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because of chronic lower back pain and bulging disc in my lower back. Before starting care, I could not stand for more than one hour with discomfort. I stayed home a lot, not wanting to go visit my family and friends. I did very few of my household chores because the bending and standing would aggravate my back and leg pain. Recreational activities were almost non-existent. My sleep was restless because I could not get comfortable.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux I can work long hours with no pain. I’m spending more time with my family and grandchildren. I’m able to work on more chores and projects around the house. I’m starting to walk more and feel like exercising again. I’m sleeping better because I don’t have to get up to take a pill to kill the pain.
Dr. Laux’s approach to chiropractic is professional, gentle, comfortable and easy to adapt to. He also shows you and explains to you how your progress is coming along.
If someone were thinking about coming to Laux Chiropractic I would say, “Quit taking all the pills that are damaging your body with the side effects and get to the cause of the problem. Dr. Laux will start you on a program that will work, and very soon you will feel the difference.”
Lonnie Gladfelter, Lima
Before I came to Laux Chiropractic I had pain in my left leg caused by bulging discs in my lower back. The doctor at the Orthopedic Institute recommended epidural injections. I had two and neither one lasted for more than six weeks.
At work and at home I had aggravating pain in my left leg. Actually, the pain in my leg affected every area of my life. I rarely could even get to sleep because of the pain. When I did fall asleep, the pain in my leg would wake me up.
After coming to Dr. Laux for x-rays and a consultation, he started me on a program that has improved me all over. I can again enjoy things that have been a problem for awhile.
I had never been to a chiropractor before coming to Dr. Laux, but I have always heard that chiropractors do nothing but “crack bones”. Dr. Laux doesn’t do any of that. He works on your misalignments in a painless way with a new procedure.
I have, and will continue, to recommend Dr. Laux to friends and family. I first came to him because a co-worker recommended him to me. I haven’t been sorry for my choice to come to Laux Chiropractic and neither has anyone else I know. He has a friendly and competent staff and Dr. Laux has definitely done wonders for me!
Betty Gibson, Lima
I started chiropractic care because I was suffering from fibromyalgia with severe pain.
Before I began care at Laux Chiropractic, I would become stiff and sore from sitting at my desk all day at work. During family time I was always trying to push pain from my mind to enjoy it. Pain also prevented me from doing most of the household chores. I did not do much for recreational activities due to my severe pain. Sleep was very intermittent- I rarely slept through the night.
Since receiving care with Dr. Laux, I have been able to sit at my job with minimal pain. I have been more relaxed, which enables me to enjoy family time! I now have the ability to perform chores around the house and can enjoy and participate in other activities. I have even been sleeping better.
I feel that Dr. Laux’s approach is different from that of other chiropractors because I feel comfortable talking about any medical concerns I have. I know that Dr. Laux is willing to listen and give me help.
The staff at Laux Chiropractic really cares about you and how you are feeling. Natural products, which may be able to help you, are discussed with appropriate dosages that are recommended.
I would tell someone looking for care, “If you are looking for a treatment plan that will help you get better without using medication or surgery try this option.” My pain was very severe when I started and now it is minimal for the most part. An option that can help give you pain relief without medication or surgery is rare and a great find. I am very happy that I decided to try this treatment option.
Triceine G., Delphos
I started care with Dr. Laux due to recurring back pain caused by a vertebral fracture in 1993. Prior to starting care, my work suffered. I could be seen wearing an ice pack at work and I couldn’t fully perform my duties. I was no fun to be around because I hurt all the time. I would often aggravate my back pain with household chores, so I accomplished less and the chores would take me longer to get done. I didn’t have any recreational activities. I often slept in a recliner or in bed with pillows under my legs just to get comfortable.
Since receiving care from Dr. Laux, I am much more able to complete more strenuous tasks at work. My family enjoys my company now. I am much more pleasant to be around. In regards to my household chores, I am not hurting myself while doing them. I sleep without having to stuff pillows under or between my legs. I feel alive again. I want to hike, canoe and ride horses.
Coming here has been both therapeutic for my body as well as mentally and emotionally. The staff truly cares how you feel both physically and personally. I have come to the office in tears and left with a hug, a smile and encouragement.
Dr. Laux’s treatment program is quite different than my previous chiropractor. His approach is much less painful and more rehabilitation based.The other treatments I have had for my lower back were like taking an aspirin to cure cancer. With spinal problems, improvements will not last without a change in lifestyle. One cannot expect to have long-lasting relief with an adjustment and “see you next week.” Progress requires collaboration and a plan between you and your provider. Here at Laux Chiropractic, you are an active participant in your healthcare, a team with Dr. Laux and the staff.
Kerrie Harrison, Spencerville
I started care with Dr. Laux because of low back pain and headaches as a result of a car accident.
Before starting care, the pain had caused me to have to stop taking care of my 2 grandchildren. My family time was affected because I didn’t feel like having anyone around me. My household chores were taking 3 times longer than usual and I was only getting 2-3 hours of sleep per night.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux, I am back to working full-time. I am enjoying time with my grandchildren. I have no problems with any job around the house. I am back out enjoying life once again and I am getting a full night’s sleep.
I would tell people to definitely come see Dr. Laux. Dr. Laux and his staff really care about each person that walks in, which is nice to see nowadays.
Ella Hawk, Lima
I had suffered with back pain for at least 10 years before I found Dr. Laux. In the beginning the pain was manageable but each year the pain, discomfort and mobility would get worse. At the time I decided to see Dr. Laux, I was a prisoner to the pain. I would make it through work but that was about all I could do. I could not make it through the grocery store without severe pain in my legs, hips and low back. I was unable to play and enjoy my new grandson and I had no social life.
The chiropractor I was going to would give me temporary relief. He would do the normal adjustment which would give me relief but it was to the point where I had to see him more often because the relief was not lasting as long. He never did an x-ray to see what was causing the problem, just kept telling me it was the sciatic nerve. I was also taking various medications to help me function throughout the day as well as to sleep.
I felt like I was at the end of my rope and not sure what to do next when I read an advertisement in the paper for Laux Chiropractic. He had testimonials in his ad that when I read them, I noticed some of the people sounded a lot like me. I had my mom read it and we both decided it would be worth a try.
My first visit with Dr. Laux was hopeful but I still had doubts. I had dealt with this problem for so many years I just couldn’t believe that I was going to get relief. The first thing he wanted to do was x-rays to see what the problem was. The x-rays showed him where the problem was and what course of action he should take to correct the problem.
I began my recommended treatments but with everything else I had tried, I was not real hopeful. Dr. Laux was very patient and worked at my pace. He did not push anything that I physically was not ready for. After a few months I started noticing a difference in the pain level and it just continued to get better from there.
I am off all medications I was using to help me function with the pain. I can now make it through the grocery store pain free, and I am able to play with my grandson and even lug him around the house with no discomfort or pain.
If you are experiencing some of the same problems I did, if you are tired of the trips to the chiropractor that just don’t give you the relief they use to and would like a more permanent solution to your back problems, then I would suggest you give Dr. Laux a call.
Robin Holbrook, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because of severe pain in my lower back hip and leg from bulging discs in my lower back.
Before receiving care from Dr. Laux I had trouble walking, standing, sitting or lying down. My sleep was interrupted because I would be up and down all night long dealing with the pain.
Since receiving care, I walk, stand, sit or lie down without the pain. I even sleep pretty much all night pain free.
I feel Dr. Laux’s office differs from other doctor offices because everyone is so friendly and caring.
His approach to chiropractic is different from other chiropractors I have been to because he doesn’t do any “bone crunching”.
If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic I would say, “Give it a try!” I was very impressed by my improvement. I still have a little bit of pain but the stretching exercises he taught me really help.
Patricia Holdgreve, Delphos
I began chiropractic care because of intense lower back and leg pain. Before starting care I was in constant pain and the worst part was I couldn’t get comfortable to sleep.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux, I can do almost anything with little or no pain.
Dr. Laux’s office is different that other office that I have been too because you don’t have to wait as long, if at all and any questions that you have they are answered immediately.
When I went to see Dr. Laux I was in a lot of pain. I normally have a high pain tolerance so I knew something was wrong because I had such intense pain in my lower back and going down my leg. I was very apprehensive because I had never been to a chiropractor before. Dr. Laux understood how I felt and he eased my fears. After an exam and some x-rays, he explained that I had misalignments in my lower back and bulging disc were putting pressure on my nerves going down my leg. After about 6 treatments, which were not at all painful, but actually felt good, the pain was going away. After about 10 treatments it was gone. I would recommend Dr. Laux to anyone needing chiropractic care.
Sandy Joseph, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because of my right shoulder, neck and my whole body hurt.
Before starting care I was tired all the time. I didn’t want to do my chores because I was always tired. My body hurt and I had a hart time sleeping. I hurt more in the morning. My whole body just ached.
Since receiving care I’m not as tired. I have more energy to clean my house. When I wake up my body doesn’t ache like it used to.
Dr. Laux office is different because everyone is so nice. They all know who you are when you walk in.
His approach to chiropractic is different from other chiropractors due to all the different equipment that they use. I didn’t know that a chiropractor used all of that equipment to make you better.
I tell people how caring Dr. Laux, Landra and Rebecca are. I always tell them how Dr. Laux had me start taking more fish oil than I did to reduce inflammation and how much better my body feels. I’m not as stiff, I don’t ache like I used to. I also tell people how you can talk to Dr. Laux and he listens to what you say—even if it has nothing to do with Chiropractic or Ohio State.
Sue Knotts, Lima
Leg pain from the tailbone through the buttocks, is what started my hunt for a chiropractor. It went down the leg to my toes, then I would have paralysis after a few minutes until I would sit.
Before I began coming to Laux Chiropractic, I had to lessen several services offered in wedding packages. I could not participate in family activities. My family was very understanding and supportive. I had no problems sitting or lying down, but standing and walking affected most my chores and recreational activities.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux, the down-sizing of my business is no longer due to my previous pain. I was able to comfortably attend my 2 grandsons’ graduation in Wapak. Yard work, home maintenance, and lawn mowing no longer give me problems. A fishing trip with my brothers is planned. Taking a walk with my wife and dogs is now enjoyable.
Dr. Laux’s office is different from that o Made to feel like family. Most friendly and caring than any I’ve ever known
No twisting or crunching set the chiropractic treatment apart from others. Also the fact that I had a mere 3 pleasant treatments and prescription of exercises.
“Please try Dr. Laux!” I would tell them (and do now) of the severity of my problem, how other chiropractic care had been useless to me, and how in such a short time my problem had been alleviated… by Dr. Laux and his assistants… the Laux Family.
Paul K., Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because of lower back, left leg and foot pain. My back pain had been bothering me for many years.
Before starting care, I couldn’t drive without pain. I did no recreational activities and I was so worn out from work that I did as little household chores as possible.
Since receiving care from Dr. Laux, I am able to drive with much less pain. I can get up and move with much less stiffness and difficulty, and I am able to work out at the YMCA 5-6 days per week.
Dr. Laux’s office is much more personal and involved than other doctors’ offices I have been to. I have been to 7 chiropractors over the past 25 years and Dr. Laux’s approach is much more thorough. His approach includes gentle adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, stretching, and exercises.
If you think your back problems can’t be helped, you need to see Dr. Laux. I have finally found a chiropractor that I can trust and believe in.
Brent Kuck, Sidney
I started care with Dr. Laux when my lower back pain led to x-rays that showed degeneration in my last 2 discs.
Before starting care, at work I had pain after lying on the creeper. Standing in place would cause aching of my arched back. Yard work and chores would always cause pain the morning after and my free time was spent stretching out my lower back to ease my pain and try to increase my flexibility.
Since starting care, I have little to no pain overall at work. I don’t have as many pains after a full day of chores and yard work and while I continue to stretch (and now wobble), I feel more flexible than before.
Dr. Laux is the only chiropractor I have ever been to, but his office is definitely different than other doctor’s offices. It has a more casual atmosphere which allows you to converse with other patients about similar situations.
I would say that Dr. Laux is more of a rehabilitative chiropractor, not just an adjustor for temporary relief. He is also a good patient educator on self/home care and always stresses how important home care is. He also recommends natural pain relief and supplements. I was very happy with his overall treatment. Thank you Dr. Laux!
Kevin Lachey, Vaughnsville
I started care with Dr. Laux after researching all the options for the treatment of my herniated disc in my low back. I discovered that through appropriate chiropractic care and proper physical conditioning, I could possibly avoid surgery and possibly make a full recovery.
Before starting care, I was unable to work at all; I was always in pain and uncomfortable; I was unable to perform even the slightest tasks without using prescription pain medications; pain prevented me from enjoying virtually all recreational activities and I could not sleep without prescription pain medication.
Since going through Dr. Laux’s Disc Decompression Program I am back to work, driving truck 50 hours per week; my family time has returned to normal; I am able to do my chores (with some modification to prevent re-injury); my recreational activities have returned to normal and I am sleeping normally.
The two MD’s I visited insisted on a treatment plan of drugs and then surgery. Dr. Laux fully explained a treatment plan of chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, nutrition, and spinal re-conditioning exercises.
Dr. Laux’s approach is considerably different. My former chiropractor provided little explanation and performed harsh spinal adjustments. Dr. Laux performed a full examination, took x-rays, and laid out a thorough treatment plan to lead to as full a recovery as possible.
I highly recommend Dr. Laux for anybody who is suffering with disc problems. I have already recommended Dr. Laux to several friends, colleagues and relatives.
Dan Long, Sidney
My neck and back pain was virtually unbearable. I had trouble performing the simplest tasks at work. I didn’t like to go on long car rides and my back pain prevented me from enjoying fishing. My sleep was also affected and when I woke up, I would still have back pain.
Now my back and neck pain are almost completely gone. I’m performing well at work; I’m able to ride in the car as well as go fishing. I’m also sleeping better. I think the care was well worth it!
Eric Long, Lima
I started at Laux Chiropractic because of pain in my back, neck and shoulder.
At work, I was usually dragging and couldn’t wait for the day to be over. Most of the time, I was tired and grouchy with my family. I had to make myself get household chores done, and I hardly ever had time for recreational activities and I didn’t feel well enough for them even when I had the time. As far as sleep went, I think I was awake and in pain more often than I was asleep.
Since I have started with Dr. Laux, everything has improved. I’m not as tired at work, I’m more energetic with my family and it’s easier to get my housework done. I even have time and energy left for activities I enjoy like sewing and crafts. Even my sleep has improved—I actually feel rested in the morning now.
Dr. Laux’s office is very friendly. There is a comfortable atmosphere where everyone seems to feel at home. His diagnosis process is very different from other chiropractors as are the exercises done during and after treatment.
For anyone considering chiropractic care from Dr. Laux—Give it a try! You just might be surprised by the quality of care you receive.
D.M., Elida
I started seeing Dr. Laux because I was suffering with daily headaches, neck pain and lower back pain. Before starting care my work was affected because I worked on a computer and my neck pain was a constant nagging pain that went from my head, to my neck and down to both shoulders. I was irritable around my family and friends because of the constant pain. I wasn’t getting a good night’s sleep because I would toss and turn all night due to discomfort.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux, I know to do my neck stretches to relax the muscles when they get tense while working at the computer. I am more relaxed, have more energy and I’m not irritable around family and friends. Now I get a quality night’s sleep because of the treatments, stretches and water pillow.
Dr. Laux’s office is different because the staff treats you like you are part of the family. They combine professionalism with compassion. How unique is that?
Dr. Laux’s approach is different than other chiropractors I’ve been to because he works with you to get to the root of the problem, not just a “band-aid” approach-anyone can do that. Any doctor can “pop” or “crack” your neck or spine, but it takes a skilled and knowledgeable doctor to find and work on the underlying cause of the pain. Dr. Laux does his best to educate patients about improving their overall health. He offers plenty of opportunity for us to learn about how to achieve better health. Be sure to take advantage of the massages Rebecca provides. She has the ability to find and work out the trigger points. Landra is very knowledgeable about insurance and works with you to get a plan set up. She is always cheerful and keeps the office running smoothly.
If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic I would tell them that sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. If you keep trying the same things over and over, you will get the same results. Why not try something new? The only thing you have to lose are your aches and pains!
Irma Martin, Elida
I began care with Dr. Laux because of low back pain. The low back pain had been on and off for the past 20 years, but had reached the point where it bothered me on a daily basis.
The low back pain caused me to miss days of work. My family time was negatively affected because I could not carry my children or throw the football with my son. The low back pain interrupted my hobbies, because I just didn’t feel like working in my shop at home.
Now, the lower back pain that bothered me on a daily basis is gone. My job is easier and more enjoyable. I am able to play with my children without pain and I’m able to spend time on my hobbies once again.
Dr. Laux’s approach differs from other chiropractors I have been to in that he is interested in finding a long-term solution, rather than just temporary relief.
Mike May, Elida
I would like to thank Dr. Laux and his wonderful staff for restoring me to a normal life style that I was accustomed to having. He and his staff are people-friendly and never meet a stranger.
They really helped me from the excruciating pains that I was having, from degenerative discs at multiple levels in my spine, which affected my back, hip area and neck. It was hard to perform my normal activities, such as work, climb, bend, twist and sleep.
When I first started treatments my pain level on a scale of 10 was between 8 and 9. I couldn’t hardly get out of my car and when I did I had to stand before I could take my first steps, within the first week I could feel my pain diminishing.
One of favorite machines that I enjoy using is the decompression table, it stretches the back or the neck. There are numerous stretches and exercises that are taught to get you back to your normal life style and feeling good again.
I strongly recommend Laux Chiropractic for anyone who has spinal issues.
Larry Miles,
I started care with Dr. Laux because I was in a motorcycle accident and messed up my neck and back.
Before starting care I was very limited because of the pain. I couldn’t sleep due to the pain.
Since receiving care my work, family time, chores, recreation are a lot better. I only have pain when I over do it and I’m sleeping a lot better.
Dr. Laux’s office is different because everyone is so friendly and they call you by name as you walk in the door. I like it that the doc doesn’t just “pop” you, he does things to help correct the problem.
Give it a try. You will not go back to anyone else. He helps improve your quality of life.
Mike Miller, Elida
I began care with Dr. Laux due to severe lower back, neck and knee pain. Before starting care, sometimes I would have to move quickly at work, and I just couldn’t do that. I couldn’t walk far or play games like volleyball. I couldn’t push the sweeper at home without severe pain. I love to walk long periods and read a lot but couldn’t do that either. Also, I couldn’t sleep more than 30 minutes without the pain waking me up.
Since starting care, I’m getting around a lot better at work with less pain. I can now walk longer and can drive longer distances as well. I can do most all of my chores at home now and I’ve started tending a garden. I am also now sleeping up to 5 hours without waking up with pain.
Dr. Laux and his staff are very friendly and they know your name and face by around your second visit. I also wait a shorter amount of time at his office compared to other doctor’s offices.
Dr. Laux got a history and up to date personal check including x-rays and a range of motion on me, instead of just giving me an adjustment and sending me on my way.
If you want to feel better and hurt less, then visit Laux Chiropractic. Just keep in mind to always do your home maintenance and follow-ups. This is crucial to maintaining a low or no pain status.
Betty Moore, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux due to neck pain as well as low back pain and left leg pain due to bulging discs in my lower back related to an auto accident I was involved in. In the past, epidurals had improved my pain, but since the accident, the epidurals no longer helped.
Prior to starting care with Dr. Laux, I didn’t feel up to going anywhere. I couldn’t walk without pain, I couldn’t sit without pain and I could only sleep 2 hours at a time due to pain.
Since starting Dr. Laux’s spinal decompression program, everything has improved at least 90%. I can walk sit and sleep again. I feel like I can do just about anything I want to.
Dr. Laux’s office is caring, friendly, personal and efficient. His chiropractic approach is more thorough, gentle. The spinal decompression program has worked wonders.
I was very skeptical when I started. I had been under care with another chiropractor and didn’t see how Dr. Laux’s care could be any different. I have improved greatly since starting care with Dr. Laux. The spinal decompression program is awesome. I highly recommend giving Dr. Laux and his spinal decompression program a try.
John Morningstar, Wapak
Before starting care at Laux Chiropractic, I had suffered with back pain for years and had also developed leg pain. I couldn’t do my household chores because it was hard for me to stand for a long time. Riding in the car for long trips was painful and I had a hard time getting to sleep due to the pain.
Since receiving care, I am now finally able to sleep. Dr. Laux’s office is different from other doctors’ offices. Dr. Laux took x-rays and did regular range of motion tests. He checked my progress and discussed treatment plans with me. He taught me home exercises and stressed to me their importance.
Unlike other chiropractors I have been to, Dr. Laux does not just give short-term relief care. He works to fix the problem causing the pain, instead of just treating the pain. Dr. Laux and his staff are very friendly, caring and knowledgeable.
Kris Morningstar, Lima
We would like to thank you for helping our 11-year-old son with his headaches.
He has dealt with headaches since the age of 5. After taking him to his family doctor, an optometrist, and another chiropractor, it always seemed there was never an option to help his headaches. So we would regularly give him Tylenol to help with his headaches.
Since the headaches run in our family history, we just felt like this was the way it was going to be. I can’t tell you how many times we told him “you are just going to have to deal with it.”
Our neighbor was telling us the great results of her son’s treatments with Dr. Laux. We then decided that it might be beneficial to discuss our son’s headaches with Dr. Laux.
We are amazed at the great results we are having. His headaches have greatly lessened. We can see a difference in his schoolwork and his overall attitude.
Thank you, Dr. Laux for helping our family. Your care has been extremely thorough and professional.
Bruce and Cindy Mox, Delphos
I first began care at Laux Chiropractic due to the pain I had from my left hip down to my toes. At times, my pain was so severe, I had to walk with a cane. I was unable to work in my garden without pain, I was unable to participate in family activities, and due to my condition my wife took care of all of the household chores. I was not physically functional without pain, and I could only sleep on my right side without pain.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux, I am able to work in my garden with some restrictions, my family time is back to normal, and I am slowing reverting back to my normal household activities. I continue to become more physically functional each week and sleeping is not longer a problem. After a few visits to the office, you feel a friendly and family atmosphere.
To anyone thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic, I would convey my severe physical condition prior to my decision to seek professional help. At the beginning of my care we had a conference in reference to my problem. X-rays were taken to help identify the cause of my back problems. I was treated and subjected to various activities to correct the problem. As the pain began to diminish, I was instructed on how and what specific exercises to do that, in time, would help achieve a pain-free back and help to prevent future problems.
Thomas Nelson, Cridersville
I started care with Dr. Laux because of neck and lower back pain as well as an inability to sleep.
Before starting care I was waking up almost every hour to reposition. I was tired all the time and didn’t have much energy for family time. I couldn’t get comfortable driving the long hours required for my job and chores were difficult—especially mowing. Riding my 4-wheeler even made my back and neck hurt.
Since starting care I am now more comfortable driving for my job and chores are easier to accomplish. I am better rested—I am able to sleep through the night (especially since I got my water pillow). I can play more with the kids and can now ride my 4-wheeler without getting sore and stiff.
Dr. Laux’s office is different in that he practices active care instead of just “cracking” you when you hurt. He also teaches you the proper ways to stretch and warm up to avoid injuries.
If someone were to ask me about going to Laux Chiropractic, I would say “Try it! They’re here to help. It takes awhile, but you’ll feel better!”
Russ Noonan, Delphos
I began care with Dr. Laux because I had lower back pain and left hip pain on a daily basis for over a year. I’m the director of a day care and the pain was so severe that I couldn’t get down to play with the children. At home, I couldn’t even carry my new grandson without having so much pain in my lower back and left hip that I would cry. The pain caused me to stop exercising, so I ended up gaining weight, which was depressing. The pain caused me to wake up on a nightly basis and I couldn’t get comfortable without pain pills.
Now I feel so much better. I can play with the children at work; I can even sit down in those little chairs. I can carry my one-year-old grandson without pain. I’m able to walk 3 days per week and I’m sleeping without pain pills. I think my care was wonderful. I’m pleased and very thankful. I feel like I’m getting my life back.
I started care with Dr. Laux because of chronic back pain and chronic tendenitis in my right elbow.
You don’t have to wait very long to see the doctor like in other doctors’ offices.
He takes x-rays before starting care. His treatments are different and better.
I have and will recommend to others. Dr. Laux does a great job in treating patients. He is a wonderful and very caring chiropractic doctor. He has helped me a lot with my back and shoulders He gives very helpful advice.
Helen Pinkston, Elida
I started going to Laux Chiropractic because of pain in my lower back.
Before starting care with Dr. Laux, it was hard for me to lift up my grandson and bend over to pick up things off the floor. I couldn’t spend real quality time with my family because going on long trips was hard to do. Housework was hard due to bending down to dust things and sweeping the floor. It would bother me to walk a lot and I could not sit too long at any one time. I would have to use caution and roll over slowly when trying to get comfortable at night while trying to sleep.
Now that I’ve been receiving treatment at Laux Chiropractic, I do better bending to pick up things at work. I enjoy my family time so much more with my grandchildren. Household chores are so much easier for me. I enjoy going camping, sitting watching my grandchildren play, and reading my books and I sleep so much better.
Dr. Laux’s office is so friendly. The girls that work for him are so nice; they make you feel so comfortable when you are there.
I have been to different chiropractors before and I would hurt for 2 days after I got my treatment. When I go to Dr. Laux, I feel so much better after my treatment and I don’t hurt for 2 days after it.
I would highly recommend Dr. Laux because I can now enjoy many of the things I could not enjoy before I came and took treatments here.
Leanna Price, Harrod
My friend had invited me to Dr. Laux’s Dinner Workshop. I hurriedly accepted and then agonized-“can I walk that far?” The workshop covered many health issues, but one I shall never forget: walk 10,000 steps each day. I got to meet Dr. Laux and his staff and was invited to his office for an examination, so I could not procrastinate.
I called the office to set up my appointment and the voice on the telephone was so pleasant and informative that I remembered her name-Rebecca. When I got to the office for the first time it was so accessible. The parking was so close only a drive-in could be better. I was greeted by Landra, briefed about procedures and given a tour of the facility. My skepticism was diminishing.
My first treatment with Dr. Laux was short, but the next morning the pain had diminished. With each successive treatment I could feel I was walking better. At the end of a month, I was walking confidently, without a cane. A miracle!
I am so grateful to Dr. Laux and my friend that invited me to the workshop. I’m so elated to be independent again!
Margaret Renner, Gomer
When my daughter recommended Dr. Laux to me, I did not think it would make that much of a difference for me. I have had back trouble for years and I had another chiropractor I would see. Even though I was seeing another chiropractor, I still had the pain that radiated down my leg and I would throw my back out while doing simple tasks such as laundry or sweeping out my car.
After another painful episode with my back, I finally decided to give Dr. Laux a try. He took x-rays and range of motion tests and set up a treatment plan to not only relieve the pain, but also work on correcting the problem.
Since I have started my treatments, I no longer have pain running down my leg and my back is more flexible allowing me to do my normal tasks without the threat of my back going out.
I never thought I could be pain-free, but I am and I highly recommend Dr. Laux to anyone who suffers with back problems.
Sandy Roth, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because I was having a lot of back spasms and low back pain
Before starting care I was having to stand all day and was having a lot of back pain. My family time was affected because I couldn’t do a lot of activities I would like to be able to do. When I did chores I’d have to stop and rest in between because of spasms. My recreation was very limited. I couldn’t ride for long distances in a car without stopping. When sleeping, as long as I laid on my back I could sleep, but I had a lot of severe leg cramps.
Since receiving care I am able to sit and stand better. I’m able to do a few more things than before with my family. I still stop some between chores but not nearly as often.
I have been able to ride in care a little longer without getting so stiff. I’m sleeping more comfortably with a pillow under or between my legs and I’m not having as many leg cramps. I am more flexible in my back.
I never used a decompression table or back stabilizer before and I think the wobble chair really helps, along with my home exercises
If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic I would tell them ‘Give it a try. You have everything to gain. You will spend a lot more money on other things and not think anything about it, but money spent on your health is so much more worthwhile. Your body will thank you.’
Kathy Ruck, Wapak
I started care with Dr. Laux to get some relief from my headaches and from the pain in my lower back, shoulder, neck and arm.
Before starting care work was difficult, if not impossible at times. Family time was restricted—I was unable to lift or play with my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I was unable to perform some of my regular chores. Gardening was out of the question and it was difficult to reach high areas. Even my recreational activities were limited to less physical activities. I also never got enough sleep. I woke up often throughout the night and always felt tired.
Since starting care, I am now able to do much more. I’m sleeping better so I’m not as tired anymore, which makes it easier to spend more time with my family. Family time is much more fun now. I still have to avoid extremely physical activities, but I am able to do most of my work and chores.
Dr. Laux’s office has a friendly atmosphere and his staff is kind.
I would highly recommend people to come to Laux Chiropractic. Dr. Laux is knowledgeable and tries until he gets the problem fixed.
Kathy Sager, Ottawa
I started care with Dr. Laux due to severe neck, back and leg pain, along with frequent headaches.
My household work suffered due to the fact that I was unable to vacuum or lift any heavy objects. And when I did clean, I couldn’t move the following day. My recreational activities were even causing pain. Riding in the car on trips caused a lot of extra leg pain and reading made my neck pain worse. On top of all that, sleeping was an issue. I was very restless and would wake up frequently throughout the night to reposition.
After receiving care at Laux Chiropractic, I now have little to no pain at all while at work. I am able to take care of my house and family, as long as I stretch and do my wobbling exercises afterwards. And I am sleeping much better.
I went to at least 6 different chiropractors before coming to Dr. Laux. None of the others ever took xrays or tried to correct the problems causing my pain like Dr. Laux has done. Plus, the office staff is very friendly and always makes you feel welcomed.
The stretching exercises and the wobble chair exercises I’ve learned at Laux Chiropractic make a huge difference. My leg pain was gone within the first week or two. My headaches have reduced significantly and my neck pain is almost completely gone. Even my low back pain has greatly improved. I definitely recommend getting care from Dr. Laux.
Joni Schroeder, Columbus Grove
I started care with Dr. Laux due to frequent migraines. Before starting care, sometimes I would have to go home from work early or not be able to go in at all because of my migraines. At times with my family, I would have to go sit in my room where it was quiet. And if I had a migraine, falling asleep was extremely difficult.
Since starting care I no longer have to go home early from work. I can now spend more time with my family and I don’t have to lay awake at night trying to fall asleep during a migraine.
Everyone at Laux Chiropractic is really nice and cares about how you are doing. When I first started care, Dr. Laux even called me to see if I was doing alright. Dr. Laux’s care is more about the long run and preventing migraines. Other chiropractors were just worried about the current migraine and not about preventing future ones.
I would tell anyone thinking about coming to Laux Chiropractic to definitely give it a try because it has really helped me. I used to get at least 4 migraines a month and since care with Dr. Laux, I am down to about 1 a month, if that. I am glad I decided to see Dr. Laux; it’s a decision I don’t regret at all.
Lynn Schroeder, Leipsic
I started care with Dr. Laux due to extreme lower back pain. Before starting care I was off work for a couple of weeks. My wife had to wait on my hand and foot. My chores were not getting done. My recreation was non-existent. I was getting 3-4 hours of sleep per night due to pain.
Since receiving care I am back working full time. I am now waiting on my wife hand and foot (ha ha!) I have no problems with chores. I am out walking again. I am getting a full night’s sleep.
Dr. Laux’s office is different from other doctor’s office because the atmosphere is more relaxed. It was the first time I had ever been on a spinal decompression table and it certainly did the trick for me.
If someone were thinking about coming to Dr. Laux’s office I would tell them to go check it out if you’ve got back or neck problems. The staff is extremely friendly and Dr. Laux has a double your money back guarantee if he can’t fix you!! (HA HA HA!)
Dan “Diesel” Schwinnen, Delphos
I started care with Dr. Laux because of lower back pain and pain in my left leg due to disc problems. Before starting care, my pain affected my work; I couldn’t hold my twin granddaughters; my household chores were painful; I experienced pain with recreational activities and the pain would keep me awake at night.
Since receiving chiropractic care with spinal decompression therapy, I am working without pain; I can play with my granddaughters; I can do my chores without pain; I am enjoying my recreational activities with little pain and I am sleeping through the night.
Dr. Laux’s office has a very pleasant atmosphere. The doctor cares and the staff is friendly. You feel like an important patient.
Dr. Laux’s approach to chiropractic is different from other chiropractors who just manipulated my spine. Dr. Laux’s care includes very gentle adjustments, exercises and spinal decompression therapy.
I am very thankful I went to see Dr. Laux. I’m sure he will be willing to try to help you, but he will be honest with you if he can’t.
Linda Shank, Columbus Grove
Before starting care at Laux Chiropractic, I was having low back pain on my left most of the time, and pain down my right leg at night or after lying down awhile.
I was caring for my critically ill husband and worked through the pain as that was the choice I had.
I did my household chores regardless of the pain I was in, but I rested a lot. I did not exercise regularly very much and our recreational activities were mainly confined to doctors’ appointments and hospital stays. My sleep was disturbed, especially when pain started in my leg. I would have to get up to walk it out.
Since receiving care, my work life is fine as long as I don’t over extend. I enjoy more family time. I can do all my household chores. I can now go out to dinner, play cards, play shuffleboard and enjoy other recreational activities. I no longer have to take Tylenol P.M. to sleep.
At Laux Chiropractic, I seldom had to wait for treatment and the staff is friendly, caring and compassionate. Dr. Laux takes x-rays and does regular progress reports to inform me of my progress. He does not “crack bones”. The health workshop was informational. The spinal decompression therapy, wobble chairs, and home stretches are all helpful.
After two treatments, I was convinced this could help. I intend to continue with the maintenance plan. To anyone considering Laux Chiropractic, I say “Go for it! And God Bless you with good health!”
Winifred Siefker, Elida
I began care because I’ve suffered with headaches, fibromyalgia and lower back pain for years. When the pain was at its worst I couldn’t function at all. This led me to become very frustrated because I couldn’t do things I wanted to do like gardening and household chores. I had tried chiropractic in the past, but they only provided temporary relief. The medications I tried caused me to gain weight and feel tired all the time.”
Since beginning care with Dr. Laux, the headaches are few and far between. I have more energy and I can do many of the things I couldn’t do before. I look forward to my visits with Dr. Laux. I feel like I have finally found someone that cares about finding a long-term solution and is willing to work with me for as long as it takes.
Cindy Spees, Lima
I started care with Dr. Laux because of neck and leg pain. Before starting care, my work was reduced due to pain. I had a difficult time getting up and down to play with my grandkids. I couldn’t drive very far without having to stop and get out of the car. My sleep was also disturbed.
Since starting care, my work is easier. It is easier to play with the grandkids. My driving and walking are easier. I am sleeping better.
His style of chiropractic is totally different. There is no twisting, no jerking. If someone were thinking of coming to Dr. Laux, I would tell them that the stretches, exercises and Dr. Laux’s approach will help you feel much better.
Jerry Stambaugh, Ada
I started care at Laux Chiropractic with lower back pain, right hip/leg pain and neck pain.
Before starting care my work was affected because I had to lower the amount of weight I could lift. It was difficult to play with or lift my grandkids. Household chores, such as vacuuming and carrying laundry was painful. We had to shorten our motorcycle rides because of back pain. My sleep was very restless; I would wake up 4-6 times during the night due to pain.
Since starting care at Laux Chiropractic, bending and lifting are much easier. It is much easier to play with my grandkids…I can get up and down off the floor with much less pain. Vacuuming and carrying laundry are much easier. I sleep much better-I’m sleeping through the night most of the time instead of waking up 4-6 times.
Dr. Laux’s approach is different than other chiropractors I have been to. He takes x-rays. He does periodic re-evaluations. He gives you home exercises. He has you warm up your lower back on the wobble chair before your adjustment. He has you perform repetitive cervical traction to warm up your neck. I had never even seen a spinal decompression table before. Also, Dr. Laux is very gentle, none of his adjustments hurt at all!
If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic I would tell them that Dr. Laux is awesome! None of the adjustments hurt. His approach is so different than any other chiropractor I have ever been to. He takes x-rays and shows you where you are misaligned, so you actually know what is wrong with you. The home stretching program helps keep you more limber. The office staff is awesome! Everyone is very friendly and they also have a massage therapist on staff.
Judy Stambaugh, Ada
I started care with Dr. Laux because of lower back pain, leg pain, headaches, and shoulder/neck pain
Before starting care, my job was difficult because I could only sit and stand for short periods of time without my lower back bothering me. My chores were difficult because it was hard to clean or to push the sweeper. My recreational activities were reduced because I was no longer able to take walks or workout at the gym. My sleep was difficult. I awoke several times each night with pain.
Since receiving care, work is easier because I’m now able to stand or sit for as long as I need. I’m able do all household chores and have started spring cleaning. I’m able to walk three or more miles at least three days a week. I’m able to sleep comfortably through the night.
The techniques that Dr. Laux uses and the education provided showed me how this type of chiropractic care can make me healthier and feel so much better. The open office environment is nice. You get to see other people getting better and happier. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The staff becomes like friends not just healthcare workers.
If someone was thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic, I would say try it, try it, try it! I have been through four other chiropractors before I tried this. I was almost ready to give up on chiropractic care before I came here. I feel so much better and am a happier person.
Anita Stewart, Delphos
I’ve had back pain for 10 years now and it was getting worse every day. I was taking up to 12 aspirins per day just to get by and had tried several other chiropractors with limited results. Before starting care, I could not get more than an hour of sleep because whenever I rolled over the pain would wake me up. Working was very difficult because I couldn’t bend over without extreme pain. It was a chore to do something as simple as tying my shoes.
I decided that I had to do something different. Luckily, I found Dr. Laux’s flyer in the paper and scheduled an appointment. Within two to three weeks I could not believe the difference. Take it from me, if you have lower back pain, you need to see Dr. Laux.
Jeff Strand, Jackson Center
I started care with Dr. Laux because I had a herniated disc that was pinching my sciatic nerve that caused me lower back pain and left leg pain along with left foot pain.
Before starting care I had to take a whole month from work due to the pain and not being able to perform my job duties. I couldn’t spend time with family or do chores because I was practically bed-ridden for a period of time. I like to stay active, but I was not able to during this same time due to the pain. Sleeping was also problematic. My sleep schedule was “off” and I had to either lay on my back or my side to sleep.
Since starting care, I have not missed any work. I am able to do anything I want to with friends and family. I am active and like to run, walk, and exercise. I am able to clean the whole house—do dishes, laundry and vacuum—with no problems. I also now can fall asleep more comfortable in any position.
The staff at Laux Chiropractic is very nice and friendly. It’s not just your typical “crack your back and leave the office”. The staff makes you feel welcome and the doctor really cares.
I have already recommended Dr. Laux to a few people. I think it is a good idea and I know that whoever would choose to come to Laux Chiropractic would be very satisfied and feel welcome.
David Strayer, Delphos
I started care with Dr. Laux due to neck pain and back pain that was not responding to my family doctor’s care. Before starting care, I had trouble at work because the pain would affect my range of motion and my concentration. I was grouchy, cranky, and had no patience with my family. My chores were difficult due to pain and stiffness. I stopped golfing due to the pain. My sleep was disturbed and I was very slow when getting up in the morning.
Since receiving care from Dr. Laux, work is easier. I have less pain and stiffness. I am less grouchy and cranky with my family. My chores are much easier. I am back to playing golf and am sleeping better.
His approach is different from other chiropractors that I have been to in the fact that there is more focus on correcting the misalignments. If someone were thinking of coming to Laux Chiropractic I would say…try it, you will like it.

I began care with Dr. Laux because of pain in my neck pain as well as tingling in my right arm. Before starting care I had discomfort using the computer at work, problems lifting my 2-year-old son, and discomfort working in the garden. I could not exercise without pain and I had difficultly sleeping.
Since starting care with Dr. Laux and making a few lifestyle changes I don’t have any limitations.
Dr. Laux’s office is different from other offices that I have been to in that Dr. Laux did not try to remedy the problem with medication. If you are willing to take the time to work on the problem, Dr. Laux will help you correct the issue.

Before starting care at Laux Chiropractic, I was going to another chiropractor pretty steadily for about four years for my neck and lower back. I got to the point where I couldn’t turn my head. I had to turn my whole body to look to either side. I also began suffering with terrible headaches; I had never had headaches before.
I had to work even though I was suffering; I had to earn an income. It was hard to put on a happy face when I was hurting, had a splitting headache, and on my feet for 12 hour shifts. I couldn’t do my housework because I was just too worn out from work. But even then, I couldn’t sit and relax for long because the pain in my lower back prevented sitting for long amounts of time. The pain I was in even kept me from my favorite activities like going out dancing with my friends. On top of all that, I couldn’t get more than 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night. Every time I wanted to roll over, I had to lift my whole body off the mattress.
Finally, my chiropractor at the time said he couldn’t do anything else for me except to refer me to a neurosurgeon. I had seen too many failed back surgeries and decided that I was not going to be one of them. Then a friend of mine told me about Dr. Laux and I thought, “well, what do I have to lose?”
Since receiving care from Dr. Laux, my life has changed drastically. I am still on my feet 12 hours a day for work, but I now can go home without hurting 90% of the time; that makes work much more pleasant. My housework isn’t a big deal anymore. I can even do a few small chores after my 12 hour work days. Finally, I am back to dancing with my friends. I’m getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night which makes me wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on a new day.
From the first day at Dr. Laux’s office, everyone has been so friendly. Dr. Laux is down to earth with all of his patients and is genuinely concerned about our health. Landra, the receptionist, is pleasant and bubbly all the time and always seems busy doing something. Rebecca, the massage therapist, is so gentle with the massages she gives.
Dr. Laux’s approach to chiropractic is much different than other chiropractors. Within the first few visits, he will let you know if he will be able to treat you. He takes x-rays and does a very thorough exam.
I have been on the decompression table for my neck and my back. In my treatment I have also used the stabilizer, wobble chair, and cervical remodeling collar.
I feel 100% better than I did in 2006.I definitely recommend coming to see Dr. Laux if you have back or neck pain. In my opinion, Dr. Laux is the best chiropractor around…and he’s a whole lot cheaper and safer than surgery.
Beverly Teman, Delphos
I started care with neck pain, headaches and lower back pain due to a car accident.
Before starting care some days I couldn’t even go to work. I could enjoy limited time and activities with my 11 and 15 year old sons. I could do some of my chores, but not a lot. My recreation was very limited. I slept maybe 3-4 hours a night
Since receiving care I can work full time without much problem. I’m enjoying spending a lot of time with my boys. I can do all the chores I want with no problem. I’m back to playing softball 3 times a week. I’m sleeping about 7-8 hours with no problems.
Dr. Laux pin points the problem and takes care of it. If someone were thinking of choosing a chiropractor I would tell them that if they would like to feel better about how they get around everyday, then they need to see Dr. Laux. Dr. Laux and his staff were great. I want to thank Dr. Laux and the staff. Thank you for everything.
I started care with Dr. Laux due to lower back, hip and leg pain due to bulging discs in my lower back. I’ve had the problem for several years and had seen several different doctors about it, including trying disc decompression therapy at another chiropractor’s office
Before starting care my work was very limited as to the tasks I could perform. I had to be careful with any activities I took part in. My chores were limited to very light weight chores. My recreational activities were very limited and I could only sleep an hour at a time.
Since completing Dr. Laux’s spinal decompression program, I can work longer and harder without pain. I can give my daughter piggy-back rides. I can do almost all my chores. My recreational activities are returning to normal and I am sleeping hours at a time.
Dr. Laux’s approach is different than other chiropractors I have been to in that it is more informative about how your spine works and he helps you work to fix your problem to as near normal as possible.
If you suffer from bulging discs, talk to Dr. Laux about it. Let him evaluate you and explain the different options for correcting your problem.
Charlie Williams, Alger
I started care because of two bulging discs. I was in so much pain I couldn’t sit, stand, walk or lay without lots of discomfort and my next step was surgery
Before starting care, my chores were nearly impossible; I spent all of my time lying on the couch or in bed. I had eliminated my recreational activities, I used to sing 2 or 3 times a month but had to quit because I couldn’t stand very long. I couldn’t sleep good because I couldn’t find a position to lay in that would make the pain in my back and leg go away.
Since starting care I can get around great and do my work with a smile on my face.
I can spend lots of time with my family and pick up my grandchildren. I can do all my chores without pain and it feels good. I’m able to do all the things I enjoy.
I get 8 hours of sleep and sometimes more; At times the nerve in my right leg will ache but that may repair itself someday.
Dr. Laux office is different from other office because it’s like coming home and you’re with family. His approach to chiropractic is different because he seems to get to the reason for the pain and work on it.
Sherlon Wilmoth, Cridersville
I started care due to back and neck pain. I had been to other chiropractors and it didn’t do much. My husband was a patient of yours and I decided to give you a try.
Before starting care I had to be very careful with my household chores. I could not sit or stand for very long. I had to sleep on my side because of the pain.
Since starting care I can do garden work or chores and I feel fine as long as I use some ice. I can sit or stand for much longer without pain. I sleep well on my back or side without pain.
Dr. Laux’s office is very different, very family oriented. Everyone is so friendly, so comfortable. Other chiropractors I have been to do nothing like you and your office do.
I never had a doctor who cares for care each individual like you do.
