Dr. Olsen takes a well-deserved Sabbatical
This August marks East End Chiropractic’s 8th year of business. If you have been a patient of ours, you know Dr. Olsen has put his caring trademark on the chiropractic business and has added a necessary health care value not only to East Nashville residents, but to the greater Nashville area and beyond. His hard work and dedication to this office has made East End Chiropractic a staple for people looking for personal, high quality, affordable chiropractic care. It is with these sentiments that our office sends him off for a two month sabbatical. He will spend the first couple of weeks on vacation with his wife, Erin and their son. They will travel to visit Dr. Olsen’s parents and help them celebrate 50 years of marriage! The remainder of the time will be spent resting, working on hobbies such as building furniture, and making plans for the future of East End Chiropractic.
Although our beloved owner will be out through the end of September, you can still expect to receive the same level of courtesy and care from our office staff and Dr. Lauren Calabra. Dr. Calabra and Dr. Olsen have discussed many issues that our patients face and she is highly qualified and capable to continue your chiropractic care. We are still accepting new patients by appointment. Any questions or concerns during this time can be directed to our office manager, Meghan Jones.
We could not have made it to this point without Dr. Olsen’s vision, commitment and desire to bring chiropractic health to our community. Join us in saying a huge THANK YOU and SEE YOU SOON to Dr. John Olsen!
Dr. Calabra Joins East End Chiropractic
We are pleased to announce the addition of a new doctor to our staff!
Lauren Calabra, DC, MS is a recent graduate of Logan University in St. Louis, MO, where she earned both a Doctorate of Chiropractic and a M.S. degree in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. Prior to her graduate school training, she earned her B.S. in Kinesiology at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.
Dr. Calabra’s specialty training will add an improved rehabilitative dimension to our clinic.
The overall theme of current musculoskeletal scientific research is that most musculoskeletal (muscular, bone, joint, and related nerve) problems respond best to a variety of treatment modalities, rather than just one.
Historically, there has been an unfortunate disconnect between chiropractors, who primarily use spine and joint manipulation (adjustive) techniques to treat dysfunctional joints in the spine and extremities, and practitioners who practice other physical rehabilitation modalities, including exercise therapy, neuromuscular re-education techniques, functional stability training, and myofascial release techniques.
Dr. Calabra is one of a very small number of practitioners who have undergone rigorous training in all of these treatment methods. At East End Chiropractic, our standard has been to prescribe only the treatment necessary to get the patient well (no more, no less), and find the appropriate referral for patients we cannot effectively treat in our office. With Dr. Calabra on our team, we offer a more comprehensive approach to treatment, and thus can exceed our previous standard, with less need to refer outside our clinic.
In addition to being a well-trained Chiropractic Physician, she is an accomplished athlete, primarily in the track and field sports. Dr. Calabra and her husband, Ben, reside in downtown Nashville with their dog, Remi.
