Atlas Orthogonal Adjustments
Atlas Orthogonal is a specialized chiropractic technique using precise instruments to correct upper cervical spine misalignments. This non-invasive method improves nervous system function by addressing brainstem compression without manual manipulation. Patients experience relief from chronic pain, migraines, and neurological conditions through this gentle, evidence-based approach.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Gentle chiropractic care for infants and children addresses birth trauma, developmental delays, and common childhood health issues. Our techniques safely correct spinal misalignments that may contribute to colic, ear infections, and behavioral challenges. Parents report improved sleep patterns, better nursing posture, and enhanced overall development following treatment.
Craniosacral Therapy
This subtle hands-on therapy releases restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve cerebrospinal fluid flow. Effective for treating concussion symptoms, chronic neck pain, and nervous system disorders, the technique gently manipulates skull sutures and spinal membranes to restore optimal neurological function and reduce inflammation.
SCIO Biofeedback
SCIO Biofeedback uses advanced technology to measure and modulate the body's electromagnetic frequencies. This 1-hour session identifies stressors and imbalances at the cellular level, supporting detoxification, pain management, and emotional regulation. Patients report improved energy levels and reduced symptoms from chronic conditions after completing treatment series.
Pregnancy Care
Specialized chiropractic care during pregnancy optimizes pelvic alignment and nervous system function using the Webster Technique. This approach reduces back pain, improves labor outcomes, and supports fetal positioning. Postpartum treatments address birth-related strain while promoting recovery and restoring musculoskeletal balance for new mothers.

Report
After being untreated by a local wannabe, I luckily found Dr Laura. I had several terrible falls within days and was in tears from the pain. Dr Laura came to work 20 minutes early to treat me. In 15 minutes she corrected a leg an inch short, spine twisted sideways between shoulder blades and reduced pain from 8-9 to 5. Receptionist took dictation while she gently adjusted with light pressure. So freaking grateful for her kindness and skill. She's helping me with relentless IBS and is expert in upper neck problems. That's next. Thanking God every visit for treatment. Bills medicare for me $45. Works on kids, has clean office and play area. Professional, friendly and trustworthy. The best.

Dr. Sheehan was thorough and made accommodations to help fit me into her schedule. She noticed things that I wasn't initially concerned about and explained my reactions to the adjustment. Really appreciated her care and treatment.

Dr Sheehan has helped me so much over the years. I met her 14 years ago and I continue to go back to see her because she has the ability to know what my body needs to recover from what I am dealing with. She has helped me move from being in severe pain to no pain several times over the years. What I really love about her is she continues to educate herself on new methods related to wellness. I see her as more than a chiropractor, I see her as a healer. She has been a blessing to me.

Amazing soul, amazing knowledge. Laura is not your average Chiropractor. Her depth and breadth of knowledge go far beyond what I have experienced in my adult life. Her understanding of the human body, even outside of chiropractic, amazed me.
