Dr. Laura Town
CHIROPRACTOR
Dr. Laura Town, DC
Dr. Laura Town is a board certified Chiropractic Physician, CranioSacral therapist, and is Webster Technique certified through the ICPA. She fell into Chiropractic after hours of graduate school applications and observation hours at physical therapy clinics caused her fingers to go completely numb. The PT she was shadowing recommended she see a chiropractor because the issue in her fingers was coming from her neck. She booked an appointment with a local chiropractor and sure enough, one treatment and the issue was gone. It was like a Cinderella story, except bibbidi-bop pity-boop was snap-crackle-pop. Her incredible experience convinced her to apply for chiropractic school and the rest is history.
A Camas native, Dr. Laura ventured out to Pacific Lutheran University for her Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology, and University of Western States where she earned both her Doctorate of Chiropractic and a Bachelors of Science in Human Biology. She then completed her chiropractic internship at the department of Veterans Affairs in Tacoma which gave her great experience working with the military and veteran population and lots of chronic pain, something close to her heart as the wife of an Army Ranger. Dr Laura’s background interest in Physical Therapy has equipped her with a more holistic approach to chiropractic care. She incorporates her training in MDT (a technique for disc injuries), myofascial cupping, functional movement screening/rehabilitation, and kinesiology taping in her treatment plans to fit each individual’s needs. Prior to joining Cloud Chiropractic, she worked in and operated a fast-paced personal injury clinic which gave her critical thinking and quick analytical reasoning of a when faced with severe or acute pain. Her experience has helped her develop a patient-centered, medical approach and philosophy that allows her to address patient injuries in their entirety.
Dr. Laura joined the Cloud Chiropractic team in October of 2020 which stoked her passion for treating women through pregnancy and post-partum and their littles. She strives to provide patients with the opportunity and tools to not only get out of pain, but also achieve their functional goals independently. Dr. Laura is a team player and isn’t afraid to pass the baton to include providers in several specialties to facilitate the best possible outcome for her patients. In the movie version of her life she can be seen spending time at the coast with her husband, Adam, her son, Luke, and her dogs Leo and Lola (a truly perfect image). Realistically she spends most of her free time cleaning, doing never-ending laundry, acting as personal butler to her son, and cleaning up after two special needs french bulldogs. The Town family also enjoys hiking, trail running/running/crewing for ultra marathons, cooking, and spending time together.
