I write this testimonial on behalf of my husband, a man, a construction worker, and an indestructible human being - so he thought. One of his co-workers could see the pain, the clutching of his back and hips, the walking in agony, and the posture of someone 2-3 times his age. This co-worker took the initiative and reserved a place for him to attend a Chiropractic Workshop.
Known in chiropractic as the "gold standard" of care, Dr. O'Hara is proud to have trained under some of the most respected and successful Gonstead chiropractors in America. The technique is entirely safe, effective and natural for all patients, and is even gentle enough for babies and pregnant women.

Growing up, Dr. O'Hara was a fantastic gymnast-so much so that her skills allowed her to advance to international competitions. But at the young age of just 16, her career ended due to chronic injuries when her orthopedic surgeon would no longer offer her cortisone injections for pain. When it was time to continue her education, Dr. O'Hara initially began as a Sports Medicine major.

I have been a patient of Dr. O'Hara for about a month. My pain level went from 10+ to 1 in that short time. Dr. O'Hara is extremely knowledgeable in what she does. I have learned so much about how vital it is to keep our nervous system in check always.. I will continue to see Dr. O'Hara on a continuous basis for maintenance on my back. Dr. O'Hara is simply amazing.

Love Dr . O'hara! I no longer have migraines. I have been migraine free for a few years now and no longer have to take any prescription or over the counter medication. I feel great at 62 years young. I will continue with my adjustments with Dr. O'hara in order to keep my body in alignment and free from pain.

Our four-year-old grandson Max has been struggling with sensory processing issues. He had been working with an occupational therapist for about six months, when we first took him to Dr. O’Hara for an evaluation. Dr. O’Hara has a gentle approach with children, and she was able to coax him into standing still for an X-Ray and for his first adjustment. Following her examination and X-rays we found that the topmost vertebra, called the Atlas, was misaligned and pinching the Vagus nerve. The Vagus nerve is actually a nerve bundle that is an important part of the autonomic nervous system which carries

Lori Sender O'Hara D.C. saved my life. I was in bad shape, chronic leg pain, and limited mobility (stiff back). Intensive work at first, then regular maintenance and targeted exercise and I am back doing the active outdoor sports I love. The Staff is warm and friendly and a very relaxed family atmosphere. I you ever feel you can't do something anymore because of pain, you owe yourself a trip here before you accept that it is really not possible.

Never been to the chiropractor, but the body feels a little off? Perhaps you are bit nervous to schedule that first visit because of the "stories" you've heard? I have the ultimate proven solution....CALL DR. O'HARA! Let's be clear....I am a first timer for any type of chiropractic help, and have not been paid a dime for this review.
Since that point where I finally got over the hurdle to go to my first visit, I've continually asked myself "why didn't I do this sooner?" Dr. O'Hara and her staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, and to truly understand and explain exactly what potential

I have been a patient of Dr. O’Hara off and on since 1989. She has a passion and dedication for her patients wellness that I haven’t encountered with other chiropractors. I definitely recommend her skills for anyone that has acute back pain or if you are looking for overall wellness.

Dr. Lori has a vast knowledge of the body and helps you make healthy choices everyday to improve your overall health. I have had severe body pain my entire life and find that with Dr. Lori’s care I am feeling better then ever. My 2 young boys go for regular check-ups as well. Being wild little boys, I love to know that their bodies are taken care of & aligned. The office is very friendly & comfortable too. I would highly recommended O’Hara Chriopractic to everyone!

Dr. Lori O'Hara has truly changed the quality of my life for the better. I live with a great deal of chronic pain due to Scoliosis in between my shoulder blades as well as chronic migraines from TMJ. She has been able to resolve problems for me that other Doctors in other fields of study have not.
When I first came to see her I was very sceptical and even hard on her. It didn't take long though for the results to speak for themselves. If you are committed to healing your body and getting the most out of your life through healthy lifestyle choices she can not only start that process but help you

Nothing short of a miracle worker. Dr O'Hara does chiropractic the right way. I could barely walk when I first went in. Within a few sessions I was on my way to full recovery. I go in regularly now to make sure my back doesn't go out again. This after decades of struggle with a bad back...amazing!
