Dr. Jahnke has advanced training in the treatment of golf and running injuries and performance optimization in these sports. With a certificate in pediatrics, Dr. Jahnke enjoys working with children and families at her office in Cincinnati Ohio. Nutrition is a vital part of all healing processes and Dr. Jahnke has had extensive training in physiology, biochemistry and laboratory analysis to offer unique effective solutions to her patients.
Dr. Jahnke’s interest in chiropractic began when as an eighth grade gymnast with frequent low back pain Laurie’s mom brought her to a chiropractor. She experienced quick relief and was captivated by the whole body approach to her care. After a car accident in college Laurie again sought care to recover from her injuries. Through the years Laurie sought care for asthma and also realized that occasional check-ups kept her feeling good.
Dr. Jahnke’s answer to the question, “Why chiropractic?”
It’s natural, it’s simple, and it works.
