Dr. Laura Town
Chiropractic
I created Ohana Wellness Co. because I wanted to practice chiropractic the way I believe it should be practiced—with time, intention, and room to truly care for each patient.
I’m Dr. Laura, a chiropractor with a special focus on prenatal, postpartum, infant, and pediatric care. I also work with athletes and active individuals, people navigating hypermobility, and patients recovering from auto injuries and other musculoskeletal concerns.
My approach is individualized and rooted in listening first. Depending on your needs, care may incorporate chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue and fascial techniques, craniosacral therapy, mobility work, exercise rehabilitation, and other hands on approaches. I don’t believe there is one technique -or one treatment plan- that is right for everyone.
My goal is always to create a place where you and your family feel heard, respected, and cared for—and where chiropractic care can fit into real life, not the other way around.
A Broad Foundation.
A Focused Passion
After chiropractic school, I began my career caring for veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs, followed by several years in a high volume personal injury practice. Both experiences gave me valuable clinical perspective and taught me how to care for a wide range of patients and complex presentations. Just as importantly, each chapter helped clarify what I wanted my own practice to look like: thoughtful, individualized, ethical, and centered on the patient rather than volume.
The latter half of my practice has focused primarily on pregnancy, post partum, and infants- areas I've continued to pursue through specialized training and continuing education. Today, I bring that focused experience together with a broad clinical perspective I've gained throughout my career- because while caring for moms and babies is a huge passion of mine, I've never wanted to be limited to one box.
