Dr. Ryan Lawrence
Doctor of ChiropracticDC
If you've tried other treatments without lasting results, or you're not quite sure chiropractic is for you, that's exactly the kind of patient Dr. Ryan wants to hear from. With clinical experience spanning California, Florida, and Tennessee, including work with military veterans and within multidisciplinary care teams, he has learned that pain rarely tells the whole story. Dr. Ryan takes a genuinely curious approach to every visit: he wants to understand your history, your daily life, and what you're trying to get back to, not just the symptoms that brought you in. Patients who feel unheard elsewhere often say his appointments feel different. Because they are. You don't need to have everything figured out before you come in. He'll help with that part.

Patient Transformation
“After dealing with neck and back issues for years with little success from other chiropractors and physiotherapists, I started going to Summit Spine Centre after a friend's referral. Their flexion distraction technique has significantly improved my range of motion, and I'm feeling better than I have in years. I'd forgotten what it felt like to move comfortably again.”
