Hello, my name is Dr. Laurie Briegel, and I am a chiropractor. Many patients have asked me over the years, how did you get started in chiropractic? This is my story: When I was a child, I had a lot of health problems, mainly sick with colds and tonsillitis and such. I missed a lot of school and my grades suffered. I also had problems with my feet being turned in (pigeon toed) and I had to wear corrective shoes and when that didn't work the doctors recommended that we try corrective braces to straighten my feet and legs. None of the doctors that examined me ever looked at my hips or my spine, they insisted that the problem was with my legs. When I was eighteen years old and in college, I met my future husband (Dr. Lou). He was studying to be a chiropractor and I was very interested in hearing about this kind of profession because I was interested in doing something in the allied health field, maybe microbiology or medical lab technology. I was thrilled to hear about the natural, drugless approach that chiropractic had to offer because I was personally sick of taking drugs that didn't make me healthier and in most cases made me feel worse. I had accidentally strained my back during an exercise class and that was when I knew that something was telling me that I needed chiropractic care. I found a principled doctor (one that only uses hands on chiropractic) and I went and got x-rays and my first adjustment. The doctor had me come to his office to explain the principles of chiropractic and to show me how my spine relates to my health and how subluxations can cause ill health. I was amazed to see my x-rays... I had a double rotatory scoliosis, which means a severe curvature of my spine. He told me that is why my posture was so bad and why my feet turned in. After only a few adjustments I was amazed at the difference in the way I felt... more energy, no headaches, no nervous stomach, no menstral cramps. I had a better attitude both mentally and spiritually. Within about a month I noticed a dramatic difference in my posture and my feet are no longer turning in! All in all I felt that my life was changed due to releasing the nerve pressure in my body. I knew that my life was made better for a reason and that reason was so that I may in turn release the imprisoned splendor in others.

Hi! My name is Lou Briegel and I'm a chiropractor. Most people call me Dr. Lou.

Hey, my name is Sarah Grubb. I am a Chiropractic Assistant here at Wellness Chiropractic Center. I obtained my Associate of Science Degree in Health Science in January 2019. I was eager to find employment, but patient enough to wait for the job that was the best fit for me. Within a week of being hired as a team member at Wellness Chiropractic Center, I knew this was the place to be. Drs. Lou and Laurie are both absolutely, amazing. It is a pleasure to work along side doctors who truly care about the overall wellness of each, and every one of their patients. I assist with managing all new patients, administrative support, and help the doctors with anything they might need during office hours. It has been a blessing, and a true pleasure working with all the new and established patients that come to see us at Wellness Chiropractic Center. Soon after discovering all the benefits of chiropractic care, I was ready to start my own journey to optimal health and wellness. I received an evaluation and immediately started to get some adjustments. I was having constant lower back pain, and I also have scoliosis. After my first adjustment, I noticed a huge improvement in the pain in my back. Sleeping at night is usually extremely painful for me. I spend most of the night tossing and turning to try and relieve the pain in my lower back. The morning I woke up, after getting adjusted the previous day, I realized that I could hardly feel any pain in my back. That night I slept without having to toss and turn. I was able to lay in the bed without any pain. I was totally amazed and feeling so grateful. I am looking forward to my future here at Wellness Chiropractic Center. I feel so blessed to be here with Drs. Lou and Laurie, and all our awesome patients, of all ages.
