Dr. Joseph O.M. Lawrence
Throughout his career Dr. Lawrence has continued to seek a better way to help those whom he has had the honour of treating. Consequently, he has incorporated leading edge technology such as laser therapy, advanced traction protocols, active therapeutic movement, which can help speed rehabilitation of targeted muscle groups.
As for continuing post graduate education Dr. Lawrence focused his efforts on the emerging field of clinical neuroscience.
In 2011, he became certified as a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board after attending the Carrick Institute for Post Graduate Studies. In 2013 the American College of Functional Neurology granted him status as a Fellow of the American College of Functional Neurology, further rounding out his education in Clinical Neuroscience.
Clinical neuroscience is the newest, state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technique drawing from the fields of neurophysiology, psychology, neurology and nutrition. This leading-edge field brings new hope to the sick of all ages that have failed to find relief in the present system.
In 2015 Dr. Lawrence was granted status as a Fellow of the American Board of Brain Injury Rehabilitation after completing over 400 hours in mild traumatic brain injury and vestibular therapy at the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies; as well as Grand Rounds for concussion diagnosis and management at the Carrick Brain Centre in Atlanta, GA.
First Hand Experience With A Brain Injury
When I committed to serving those with mild Traumatic brain injuries I realized that I needed to pursue the most in-depth training available in this area says Dr. Lawrence
I now want people to know that I too have suffered from significant post concussion symptoms. I sustained a severe head trauma from a near fatal motor vehicle accident where the car I was in as a front seat passenger was T-boned on that side resulting in my head crashing through the side window, leaving me unconscious for an undetermined amount of time. I’ve experienced firsthand the hopelessness of the situation I found myself in after the accident, and I knew I was not the same person I was prior to that fateful evening.
To say there were limited treatment options during that period in my life would be an understatement. Now when I sit in front of patients whom recount their story regarding their injury I can clearly identify with them. I too was told nothing could be done, except your new self, go home and rest or it was “all in my head“. As for somethings in life, things happen for a reason and perhaps my own injury was a catalyst for me to help others in a similar situation.
Although it will always be a work in progress…
