Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
We perform diversified spinal adjustments tailored to each patients condition. The adjustments target misalignments that cause neck, back, and joint pain, helping restore proper biomechanics. Patients experience significantly reduced pain, improved mobility, and faster return to daily activities after treatment.
Decompression Therapy
We apply traction and decompression techniques to carefully and gently separate spinal joints for optimal alignment. This therapy reduces disc pressure, alleviates bulges or herniations, and eases sciatica symptoms. Clients often notice decreased pain and increased flexibility within a few sessions.
Active Release Technique
We utilize Active Release Technique (ART) to locate and treat softtissue adhesions. ART breaks down scar tissue, improves muscle function, and relieves tension in affected areas. Patients with carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, or sports injuries report quicker recovery and restored performance.
DOT Physicals
We conduct Department of Transportation (DOT) and Commercial Drivers License (CDL) physicals for professional drivers. These exams evaluate vision, hearing, musculoskeletal health, and overall fitness to meet federal safety standards. Successful completion enables drivers to maintain licensure and operate commercial vehicles confidently.
Sports Injury Care
We specialize in treating sportsrelated injuries using a blend of adjustments, traction, and softtissue therapies. Athletes with shoulder, knee, or back strains receive targeted care that reduces inflammation and restores range of motion. Our approach helps them return to training and competition faster than conventional methods.

I started seeing Dr. Brooks for a frozen shoulder. My range of motion with this arm was pretty limited. Dr. Brooks is a miracle worker! I now have my full range of motion back! He is very caring and dedicated to helping his clients with the pain/discomfort they may have. Thank you Dr. Brooks for all that you do! Highly recommend!

I left my Dr. office after finding out that I couldn't get an appointment to reset my particularly dislocated shoulder for 16 days. Needless to say I was in pain and feeling discouraged. I called Brooks and was able to get help that day!! He was so caring and gentle with my shoulder. I was amazed when he popped in back in and it didn't even hurt. This isn't the first time he has helped me like this. I can't say enough about how wonderful he is.

Had a back injury a year or two ago that prevented me from walking, sitting, and basically moving properly overall. Dr. Brooks was able to identify my lower back issue and get me back to normal after 3 sessions. I will forever go here for any adjustments in the future!

Brooks is absolutely wonderful. My fianc and I go to him. I didnt want to go all the way to Northfield where my usual chiropractor is, so my fianc recommended Brooks. I was reluctant at first, but Brooks is so friendly, had awesome music playing, and listens if it starts to hurt. I also loved having the chance to loosen up with hot compresses before adjustment, it made all the difference. He is an absolute rockstar! I will definitely be back

Brooks Chiropractic is one of the best out there. My husband had a lower back disc issue that I couldn't help him resolve with the standard chiropractic adjustments and treatment I can give him as a chiropractor myself. I referred him to Dr. Brooks Laber who is an expert in a therapy called decompression, in addition to being a great chiropractor. My husband's lower back disc was quickly on the mend.
I highly recommend Dr. Laber and Brooks Chiropractic. Being a chiropractor myself, I take my recommendations very seriously to fellow colleagues and I wouldn't hesitate to refer to Dr. Laber and will continue to do so!

If you are looking for a Chiropractor, Brooks Chiropractic has been great for son and myself. Dr. Brooks has helped me with my lower back problems for a few years and I can say I was a frequent visitor early on, but now I stop in maybe twice a month for regular adjustments. My son is in High school sports when he has an injury, Brooks always seems to take care of him. Dr. Brooks has helped both of us, I would recommend him to anyone. DR.

Brooks is absolutely fantastic. He has helped me with migraines, neck and back pain, and has shown me stretches to reduce inflammation and irritation in muscles as well. He's so friendly and always willing to help, no matter the issue. Thank you, Brooks, for all your help and kindness!

I met Dr. Brooks when I was seeing another chiropractor and he started working in that office. I was reluctant at first as I was pretty comfortable with the chiropractor I had been seeing. Within a very short period of time, I realized that I actually preferred him over the chiropractor I had been seeing. I was glad when he was the one adjusting me at that office. Dr. Brooks decided to start a practice of his own.
There was not one single moment of hesitation that I would follow him to his new location and I did with no regrets. He is friendly, takes his time with each patient and is very professional. I would recommend him in a heart beat. He is the best!

Dr. Brooks is a fantastic chiropractor! Having been an athlete and an active bodybuilder for most my life, I have had my share of injuries and been through my share of chiropractors. Brooks has an amazing ability to understand what going on with my body and the knowledge to know what adjustments need to be made for me to perform at a high level. He knows how to PROPERLY adjust my spine and joints which means, when I leave his office, I feel 110% better, not sore and feeling worked over like some other chiropractors. I would recommend Dr. Brooks to anyone! Will never see another chiropractor because Brooks is hands down, the best!

Dr. Brooks is a very professional and respectful chiropractor. Other practices I've gone to have pressured me into short/long term adjustment plans that are unnecessary and make me feel like I am just another payment plan. I can trust Dr.Brooks to give me the essential adjustments I need without pressuring me into other appointments. His office is very clean with friendly and professional staff. I highly recommend Brooks Chiropractic if you are in the metro area.

I had gone to Dr. Brooks for years for random minor aches and pains from working as a police officer/firefighter as well as years of training in the gym. Approximately 2 years ago I had a mishap that resulted in a herniated disc and a minor crack in a portion of a vertebra which aggravated the nerve. My regular doctor suggested surgery, prescribed me pain killers, told me to stop working out and to start planning for a new line of work within 5 years following the required surgery.
Dr. Brooks developed a program to relieve the immediate pain as well as a strengthening and stretching routine that would stabilize the injury to prevent future problems.
He also gave me suggestions on my diet to make me all around healthier and fight inflammation. Dr. Brooks has helped more than I can put into words. Just don't mention Citrus flavored Monster Energy drinks counting as its own very special food group or candy corn counting as a vegetable, he will agree to disagree on that debate. The convenient wake up calls from the best office assistant around are helpful for bonus stars as well!

Ive been going to Dr Brooks for awhile now for my back with great sucess. But lately I went to him for tennis elbow and between muscle work and cold laser i have been feeling almost no pain. Laser was painless and very fast results. Would recommend him to all my friends.

Dr. Brooks is the BEST!!! Super personable and really flexible with getting you in to see him. He lets you decide when you need to come in, doesn't make you do unnecessary appointments like some other chiropractors I have seen in the past. I always feel amazing when I leave his office. Would highly recommend Dr. Brooks to anyone and everyone!!!

I have been going to Dr. Brooks for quite some time and I won't go anywhere else! Brooks has helped me with migraines, inflammation, ankle issues and even hot flashes to name a few! He is very knowledgeable when it comes to vitamins. The products he carries are all natural and have really helped me out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Brooks to anyone! His receptionist, Molly, is a breath of fresh air also and I always look forward to seeing both of them!
