Lori Hassig D.C.
Chiropractor
My chiropractic journey began whenever I was a young child, and I would go with my Mom to her chiropractic appointments to help her with her lower back pain. She fell down a flight of stairs as a college student and suffered with low back pain for years. At the young age of six I realized that my Mom’s chiropractor, Dr. Hughes, was helping her to be able to do her daily activities and to be able to stand and teach for long periods of time.
I would watch him adjust her and also explore in his office. I would find models of the spine, interactive posters that showed how nerves controlled different organs and different nerve patterns. It was very fascinating to me to see how my Mom would get better after her adjustments.
As I got older I often visited Dr. Hughes for childhood accidents….flipping over a bike, trampoline mishaps, sports injuries, headaches. I entered the University of Kentucky knowing that I was going to major in Biology and then go to Chiropractic college to become a Chiropractor. I wanted to be able to help people feel better by getting to the source of their pain and not by chasing symptoms and covering it up with medicine. I attended Logan College of Chiropractic and graduated in April 2003. I moved to Birmingham, and joined Dr. Brad at Hassig Family Chiropractic in Mountain Brook.
I love being a chiropractor and helping people to be able to do the things that pain restricts them from doing. To help a new mom be able to look down at her baby while they are nursing or having a bottle, to helping a dad be able to pick up and play with his young children, to the grandparent that wants to be able to do fun things with their grandchildren and not have pain…..and so many more examples of how the life of the patient changes and improves by having better function of their spine and body. It brings me joy to see a patient able to walk out of our office feeling good and knowing how that adjustment is helping them to LIVE their life!
