Welcome to Complete Chiropractic and Family Wellness. I’m Dr. TJ, the Lead Chiropractor. My wife, Sarah and I moved to Lexington in 2018 and have since welcomed a beautiful daughter to our family. Sarah and I built Complete Chiropractic to be a place where you feel welcomed, safe, and understood. I love what I do and I promise that you will always be treated as part of the family and not just another number.
It is important that we address more than just pain and work to restore function by getting to the root cause. As I get to know every patient and understand their wellness goals, I am able to create a personalized road map achieving optimal results in a direct, honest, and efficient way.
Growing up, my life revolved around family and sports, ultimately influencing my career choice. As a Division I collegiate athlete I witnessed how common a “band-aid™ approach” is to pain management. Everyone was looking for a quick fix, rarely addressing the underlying issues. Over time I knew I needed a more long term solution focusing on natural body function, but wasn’t sure where to begin.
When I was in undergrad my grandpa underwent back surgery and the recovery didn’t go as planned, highly reducing his quality of life. Discouraged, he began searching for alternative options until he landed on chiropractic care. We were both surprised when this holistic approach changed our whole lives. My grandpa was able to regain his independence and this fueled my passion for alternative health options.
I have been practicing in Kentucky since graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2015. During this time, I have focused on creating healthy families within our community by facilitating their journey of feeling and functioning at their best. Now my greatest joy is that my daughter will grow up in a world where preventative care is normal.
Hi! I’m Dr. Lauren, the associate chiropractor here at Complete Chiropractic and Family Wellness. I am a Lexington, Kentucky native and proud to be home serving the community that built me. My passion for chiropractic stems from its unique approach to whole-body wellness, harnessing the powerful connection between the brain and the body. I believe in looking beyond just pain to find the root cause and optimize how the body functions — ultimately helping patients achieve better overall health.
Before becoming a chiropractor, my life revolved around dance. I attended SCAPA (the School for the Creative and Performing Arts) as a dance major, trained at local Lexington studios, and went on to pursue dance in college and professionally. I trained with professional companies and performed in St. Louis, Houston, Chicago, New York City, and here in Lexington for several years. Through years of training, I experienced numerous recurring injuries, sprains, strains, and mobility challenges that led to countless rounds of injury rehab. What I noticed was that most treatments focused only on relieving pain — not on finding and fixing the root cause of my injuries.
During my undergraduate studies, a chiropractor came to speak to our dance department about the benefits of chiropractic care for performing artists. This inspired me to seek out chiropractic care for the first time, and it was truly a game changer. The whole-body assessments and personalized care not only helped my injuries heal but also prevented them from recurring and improved other aspects of my health, such as reducing my headaches and migraines.
After deciding to retire from professional dance, I knew I wanted to help others experience the same benefits I had found. That decision led me back to school, where I earned my Doctor of Chiropractic degree Magna Cum Laude from Logan University College of Chiropractic. Since graduating, I’ve been so happy to be home, practicing what I love every day. I enjoy working with people of all ages in my community — getting to know everyone who walks through our doors and becoming part of their wellness journey to live life without limitations.
Hi everyone, I’m Sarah, although I’m no longer in the office every day I continue to be a part of the Complete Chiropractic family. The relationships I’ve formed over the years remain one of my greatest joys, and I still love connecting with the patients and community we’ve created.
