Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Charlottesville Family Chiropractic emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could.
Do you exercise enough? You may be at risk of developing these health conditions if you lead a sedentary lifestyle. I have benefitted tremendously from the chiropractic care I received from Dr. Prax. Not only has the adjustments helped alleviate my stiffness and aches, but it has helped me have more energy and just feel more balanced overall.
Chiropractors understand that one of the main causes of pain and disease is the misalignment and abnormal motion of the vertebrae in the spinal column called a subluxation. Chiropractic works by removing these subluxations in the spine, thereby relieving pressure and irritation on the nerves, restoring joint mobility, and returning the body back to a state of normal function.
Chiropractic doctors practice natural, drugless, non-invasive health care and rely on the body's ability to self-heal. Sounds ideal, but just how does it work? Like other health-care providers, we follow a standard routine to gain information about the patient. We consult, review the case history, conduct a physical examination, and we may request laboratory analyses and/or x-rays.

Dr. Prax helped me greatly with the process of my newborn son's tongue tie release. She did body work before and after the procedure to help ensure that it was smooth & efficient. She also recommended a wonderful IBCLC & Pediatric Dentist for the procedure. I'm very grateful that I not only knew to start with a Chiropractor, but that she was the one I chose!

Many of the issues surrounding my son's tongue tie have already greatly improved. With her help, he is already a much happier & healthier baby! I can't recommend this practice enough!

I went into the office with a cane and my pain was excruciating. I have been going for three weeks now and I am able to walk without a cane or walker. This office is full of caring and enthusiastic staff. I highly recommend them. Worth every penny!

A friend of mine recommended Prax Family Chiropractic and it was life changing - literally! My husband and I had been trying for about a year to have a child and in conversation with a friend, she recommended I try going to the chiropractor. I've had back problems from years of playing soccer and a bad fall down the stairs a couple years prior and so I thought, why not!

I'm so glad I made the decision to come to Prax family. Not only did my back start to feel much better but after going to get adjustments for less than 3 months, we got pregnant! We're now a family of three and I can't help but think that going in for adjustments and getting aligned properly helped us conceive. Highly recommend!

I was 5 days past my due date with no labor signs and only 1cm dilated. I met with Jennifer on Tuesday morning at 9am. We had a very helpful conversation and she did some body work. My baby was born the next morning at 07:01am and the labor was fast! From the start of contractions to the birth was 4.5 hours. Thank you Jennifer!

After an old injury had gone untreated for too long I finally acted on seeking help from the great staff I had heard about at Prax chiropractic. From Morgan greeting you at the front desk to the kind and thorough initial visit the customer service and care you receive here is top notch, every single time. If you are really wanting to see change pick up the phone and call them now you won't regret it.

I am a bit overdue in writing this review. I had decided to see Dr. Jennifer as I was preparing to give birth at home with a care of midwifes and a doula. There wasn't an issue, however, I wanted to make sure the baby and I had the best alignment and to create space for the baby to rotate and assume the best position for her arrival, and Dr. Prax is THE specialist to see about that.

After every adjustment, the baby would drop lower into the pelvis. Clearly she liked the alignment and it did work for us. My pushing phase lasted only half an hour and no tears, etc. I healed very quickly. Dr. Jennifer is gentle, caring, full of useful guidance, and words of support. A remarkable woman. After birth, I had a rough start with the breastfeeding.

My baby was getting a bit sleepy during feedings. We saw Dr. Jennifer for that too! With a bit of work on my little girl, she definitely became a more active eater. It's like magic. I think it is worth doing a periodic check in with Dr. Jennifer to make sure child's development is on track and it never hurts to check ourselves as well. The appointments are only half an hour. Although this service is not covered by my in-network, half an hour session is definitely affordable. I highly recommend it, especially in preparation for birth.

I came to Charlottesville for a month for an executive training during which time I saw Dr. Jennifer. Her adjustments helped me feel better and more comfortable during my last trimester of pregnancy and helped my baby go head down! I recommend this practice to everyone. Dr. Jennifer is warm and kind, just the sort of person you want to be treating you.

She really listens and genuinely cares. And her front desk staff, especially Megan, are wonderful to work with. They all put the patient first. I could not recommend this practice more!

I have been to several local chiropractors. Dr. Prax was the first to correctly identify and explain my issues. When he did it all made anatomical sense. I am a Massage Therapist, he has really help me with repetitive use issues related to work. I have referred quite a few clients to him. I hope they follow up. Fun but professional personality. But his aggressive adjustments are the best. I felt relief after one visit. After 3 visits was painfree, and now I need to get on a maintenance routine.

I was experiencing chronic pain & stiffness in both knees and ankles. The pain was so intense it was keeping me from sleeping at night. I had seen an ad in the Daily Progress Newspaper for Prax Chiropractic Clinic using cold laser therapy as well as other advanced means for pain management other than pills or shots. Sounded interesting! I scheduled an appointment and decided to find out if they could indeed help alleviate the pain and discomfort I was experiencing. Dr. Brian Prax and his staff were attentive and sensitive to my needs and individualized a plan immediately to start making my day to day activities easier and less painful.

I just completed the program and I can honestly say that it has greatly improved the over-all quality of my daily routine! The combination of laser therapy, nerve-rebuilding exercises, customized orthotics that were designed digitally just for me along with the personalized and professional service I received at the Prax Chiropractic Clinic has made a BIG difference! Amazing how wonderful a good night's sleep can make you feel!
