FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. What areas does Dr. Lauren travel to?

              She really would like to stay home more, and that is in the Clovis, Fresno area. She does, however, still go to the Bay Area, Sacramento Area,

              and Central Valley areas when needed there.

2. How much does a treatment cost?

               Usually evalutions are $25 and treatments are about $150. There is a travel fee depending on distance.  Treatments can consist of non-force

               manipulation and chiropractic, acupuncture with needles, moxa, electro-stimulation and/ or totally non-invasive Lifewave Patches.  She will also  

                examine saddles, feet, teeth and do training consultations.

3. How soon can I ride my horse after a treatment?

                 Usually about 5 minutes. Dr. Lauren has found over the years that riding or working the horse lightly the same day of the treatment actually 

                 has a beneficial effect in healing in most horses. This, of course, depends on the degree of pain and/or type of injury we are dealing with, but the 

                  treatments go to deep levels of balance in the horse and he is such an incredible athlete that in most cases movement is desireable.

4. Does the horse have to go on an expensive "program" of treatments?

                No, Dr. Lauren wants your horse to get back into healthy action as soon as possible. In most cases one or maybe two treatments are

                enough to really get your horse on the right path. If something else is driving the imbalance, such as poor shoeing, ligament damage, she will

                advise owners to seek appropriate care.

5. What happened to Dr. Lauren the end of last year, I could not reach her?

              Dr. Lauren suffered an Aortic Aneurism in November.  80% do not make it to the hospital. Of those that do 99% have concurrent heart or lung

                  pathology. Because her husband was there as her advocate during the whole ordeal, she came through with flying colors and the consensis was

                  that this was a congenital weakness and that recovery would be 100%. There was no other pathology and Dr. Lauren attributes that

                  as well as her remarkably fast recovery largely to Transfer Factor supplemenation which she always has current. Take a look at this product. It

                  will serve you well.  5 weeks in the hospital and not even a case of sniffles. The hospital is the best place to catch something horrible on

                  on top of anything else you have going.
