A lifelong migraine sufferer, Laura feels truly blessed to be a part of the Thrive team and has seen the benefits of chiropractic care in her life. 'I spent most of my life missing out, I missed work, I missed time spent with my children, I missed opportunities, but Dr. Ben put me on a therapeutic plan to not only help migraines when they hit, but has practically eliminated them altogether! In addition, I’ve noticed a drastic overall improvement in my health~~I rarely get sick and have more energy to enjoy my life. It’s so exciting to be part of a team that is helping to achieve miracles in peoples lives.” No longer debilitated by the pain and limitations of a life with migraines, she is enjoying life to the fullest: traveling, cruising, camping, hiking, watching her beloved New England sports teams, volunteering in her community and her part time job, working for Live Nation as a VIP tour rep production assistant.

'Receiving consistent chiropractic care is an important part of my overall wellness routine. Not only does it help to improve my posture and alignment in a way yoga alone was unable to achieve, it also enhances the function of my nervous system! I've noticed that since working with Dr. Ozanne, I rarely get sick, I'm in a better mood, and I have a greater awareness of my body. It's so exciting to experience these benefits, and to share in the successes of our patients as we work together towards better health.”
