I began a long, tough road in August when I suddenly began having seizure-like symptoms which multiplied from 1-2 a night to nearly 35 in a 24 HR period. This persisted for 10 weeks. The first 3 weeks were misdiagnosed as vertigo. After multiple treatments, it was ruled out. I saw multiple specialists and had a gamut tests done. During this time, my health took away my ability to train which is my stress relief. I was medically pulled from what was supposed to be my first Ironman 140.6 race. I trained solid for a year and was devastated to have it taken away. I rarely left my house because I would I would fall to the ground and shake nearly everywhere I went. My sleep declined and my anxiety grew each week as the testing continued to show nothing. I finally decided to reach out to anyone and everyone that would listen and possibly offer an idea that may have been missed by previous doctors. I posted my concerns on my triathlon club web site. To my surprise, Dr Brian Prax called me. We had 1 consultation and he came to the same conclusion my husband and I had early on in my illness. He thought it was likely to do with an overlapping combo of prescription drugs that was given to me after I was diagnosed with a simple sinus infection. His treatment was simple and within 3 days, my episodes decreased by half. In 9 days, they ended. It has been almost 2 weeks since I have had one now. I have put my life back together. I am running again, assisting the soccer coach during practice, playing with my kids outdoors and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. I am most thankful this year for my familys love and support during this rough 10 weeks and to the doctor who gave me my life back, Dr Brian Prax. May his ears ring on Thanksgiving when my family and I list him as one of the things we are most thankful for.

Vertigo, the bane of my existence for fifteen years, and I assumed, a passenger for life, all previous efforts at remediation having failed. That is, until I met Dr. Prax. Dr. Brian Prax and Dr. Jennifer Prax worked with my son-in-law and infant grandson with such amazing results, I decided to pay Dr. Brian Prax a visit! A further attraction, his training and expertise in providing brain based therapies, a potential solution for my vertigo. Walking into my first adjustment appointment, I was hopeful and slightly doubtful; I walked out feeling taller, limping less, and encouraged. My vertigo treatment is an ongoing process; my left cerebellum is growing in strength and my vertigo is improving! I am happy and blessed to say that not only are my vertigo issues improving, but I have experienced numerous unanticipated benefits: I am walking without a cane, walking and not pulling myself up the stairs and running on the beach! It has been years! I no longer walk like an old crooked sailor. My bending down and getting back unimpeded is 100% improved. Dr. Brian achieved what physical therapy could not and without a knee replacement! Dr. Brian recommended a special pillow to align my spine when I sleep. After several months of using said pillow I realized my painful carpel tunnel issues abated while sleeping. In fact last week I was without my pillow for 3 nights and on the third night I woke with carpel tunnel pain that stopped when I began using my pillow. Drs. Brian and Jennifer Prax are brilliant practitioners and the most caring doctors! I recommend them highly to anyone and everyone who will listen and are seeking natural treatments and remedies to prevailing ailments and distresses within your body. Thank you Dr. Brian for you care and commitment! Judy A

Best decision weve made for our 10 month old daughter. She was having issues sleeping, rolling over, crawling, balancing and other milestone delays. During our first visit, while still in the office after her adjustment, our daughter went to her hands and knees and crawled. Something she wasnt able to do before. The next morning she was able to pull herself up to her knees and pull her leg under her to attempt to stand. She was not physically able to do this before either. After her second adjustment she slept 4 hours straight. This may not seem like a big deal but she has not slept more than an hour to two hours at a time since her birth. The day after her second appointment she fully pulled herself up to a standing position. She can raise up onto her knees with no support and balance there. I no longer have to support her back while she is in my arms. Prior to these adjustments she struggled to balance in an upright position. I cant thank Dr. Jennifer Prax enough. She listened to all of my concerns with genuine interest. Everything about the visit was comforting to me as a parent. She took the time to show and explain what she was going to do and why, even the amount of pressure she was going to use on my daughter. I truly appreciate everything she has done to help me understand and ease any worries I had. I cant thank her enough for what she has done for our daughter. She is finally flourishing like she should have been.

I came to Prax during November of 2012. I came with my four month old daughter who has been having bowel movement and gas issues since she was a week old. The poor thing was on miralax and milk of magnesia since two months of age. It just didnt seem right that my four month old already be on prescription meds. So I decided that it was time to take her to the chiropractor. My grandfathers mother took him to one way back in the fourties for the same problem, my grandfather had been set for surgery, luckily my great grandma was a smart woman and knew that a chiropractor would fix the problem. So I followed in those steps of that very smart woman and did the same for my daughter. During the initial consult Dr.Jennifer was amazing with Leila, and Leila seemed very taken with her aswell. She had my girl smiling during the whole process and as soon as she was adjusted Leila went limp and simply smiled. I knew then that this was what she needed. Shortly after coming home Leila filled two diapers and now passes gas many MANY times a day without struggle or complaint. I am so thankfull to Dr. Jen for the amazing care of Leila. We will continue to come back well into the years to continue receiving such great care. Thank you so much everyone! And a special shout out to Jeff for hooking us up with Care Credit :)

My family and I have been patients of Prax Chiropractic for over five years and we have been nothing less than completely pleased with their expertise, professionalism and overall concern for our well being. My husband and I were already "fans" of chiropractic before becoming patients; as such, we are reasonably well attuned to our bodies and preferences regarding adjustment styles. Brian knows that I prefer the straight manual approach (I like to hear the sound of vertebrae clicking into place), but he employs a variety of methods and is knowledgeable and clear in his implementation of each of them. He also explains exactly what he is doing before doing it, and seems to have a precise knack for knowing exactly how to manipulate the body. He makes chiropractic almost look like an art form, and his enthusiasm for his profession is evident in the way he treats his patients. Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable about pediatric chiropractic and all four of my children are cared for by her regularly, three since birth. She works easily with children of all ages and takes a personal interest in the overall health and well being of each child. I have seen many other chiropractors, and I am extremely impressed with both Brian and Jennifer as professionals in this field.
