Chiropractor
Laura Stone D.C., C.A.C.C.P., M.S.
DR. LAURA'S CHIROPRACTIC JOURNEY
Started as a young girl being thrown off of her dad’s motorcycle. No real visible signs of “injury” and life carried on. During some high school softball drills, all of a sudden, paralyzing low back pain ensued. Without hesitation, she started chiropractic care and was back to “normal” in a few weeks. Despite pain relief, she noticed lessened stress and improved body function when she was adjusted. She’s been a wellness patient ever since.
DR. LAURA'S CAREER PATH
Growing up, she loved science. As a respiratory therapist for several years, she found much joy caring for patients in the healthcare setting. After losing her father to chronic illnesses at the young age, her career took a sharp turn. She witnessed firsthand the debilitating effects of taking two shoeboxes of medicine and started to seriously question treating symptoms only with prescription drugs.
A lover of nature, animals and deep amazement of the human body and how it works, she shared her learned information to anyone who would listen. A career in science education would become her route. After earning both Bachelor and Master’s degrees in Biology (ask her about turtles), she was eager to start teaching in higher academia. During Anatomy and Physiology class, a few chiropractic students came to her classroom and taught about x-rays and what a chiropractor does. Even though this was intended for her students, she was focused on every detail. In depth scientifically driven questions to her chiropractor, Dr. Larry Troxell became deliberate and there grew a burning desire to become a doctor of chiropractic herself.
Dr. Laura earned her doctorate degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic-Davenport, IA., in 2011, with Cum Laude honors and over 100 hours of study in the Gonstead technique.
PASSIONATE ABOUT PREGNANCY & PEDIATRICS
Thanks to chiropractic care, Dr. Laura and her husband were able to conceive and deliver two healthy boys. Her children Brock and Cole, and husband Eric have spearheaded her work. Both boys were born under two extremely different birthing experiences. Despite their bumpy entrances, Dr. Laura was able to apply her knowledge of precision adjusting and as a result, they have two amazingly healthy boys – and Dr. Laura has a passion to help with prenatal and pediatric care.
Dr. Laura earned her certifications in Pediatrics and the Webster Technique from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
HELPING CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
While taking care of patients of all generations, Dr. Laura is passionate about caring for pregnant moms, children and children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Early detection of neurodevelopment disorders is critical for the pathway of a healthy functioning nervous system. Dr. Laura welcomes those with ADD/ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder and other neurological conditions to receive care through her “Empower U” program.
LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE
When Dr. Laura is not physically at the office, she likely at home juggling studying and her wife/mom duties. She loves spending time with her husband and their two boys, hanging out with many feathered and furry farm animals, learning and implementing regenerative farming practices, exploring the woods, playing in the dirt while gardening or at the baseball diamond and eating tacos!
