Dr. Rugg was very patient in trying to learn what was causing my headaches. Headaches that makes me sick to my stomach. After only one session I felt instant relief. Highly recommend Dr. Rugg. I will definitely be returning!

Due to broken ankle/surgery, I have been in a recovery since January of this year. Even with several months of physical therapy, the recovery was very slow and conitnue to deal with limping, nerve pain, etc. I remembered seeing Dr. Lawrence Rugg from years back for my back issue. Due to such slow recovery and difficulty walking, I decided to seek help from Dr. Rugg again. He immediately diagnosed my condition and able to customize a treatment plan. After only few sessions with Dr. Rugg, my condition vastly improved; I was able to walk without a limp or much pain, as well as the back pain subsided

Dr Rugg has always been good about getting me in when I need to see him. He has helped diagnose my issues and taken the corrective actions to help alleviate my pain. He does what needs to be done. He does manipulations himself, does not depend on machines. Dr Rugg does an excellent job of getting to you as a person, your work history etc to make his visits more beneficial!

As always, Dr. Rugg listened to my symptom report, asked questions and did his best to alleviate what was causing my pain. When I left, all discomfort was gone. I highly recommend Dr. Rugg, not just due to this visit, but to the many times I have seen him over the years. Thank you, Dr.

I went in to see Dr. Rugg because I was experiencing numbness in my leg, stiffness in my lower back, and had a difficult time getting rest. After a few sessions he has helped me begin to get rest as well as reduce other symptoms. I am confident I will continue to improve with his help. Than you Dr. Rugg!!!
