About Us
Dr. Laura McMorrow received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She later became certified as a massage therapist, and worked in a chiropractic office for two years. During this time, she decided to pursue a chiropractic career. She attended Los Angeles College of Chiropractic for a four year intensive program. The course work for chiropractic includes anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, physical and laboratory diagnostics, radiology, physiology, pathology, nutrition, and public health. There are also detailed classes of the clinical sciences with a good deal of "hands on" experience. In fact, chiropractic education is similar to medical education, except that medical practitioners emphasize surgery and pharmacology while Doctors of Chiropractic focus on diagnosis of musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders and treatment through clinically and scientifically established conservative procedures. Consequently, Doctors of Chiropractic have the expertise to diagnose, treat, and/or manage many different health problems including:
| Neck Pain |
Carpal Tunnel |
| Back Pain |
Stress |
| Sciatic/Leg Pain |
Elbow Pain |
| Headaches |
Hip Pain |

Foot Pain |
| Shoulder Pain |
Knee Pain |
