Welcome to my website, I’m Dr. Ed Lawson. I grew up here in Tullahoma and graduated from Tullahoma High School in 1983. After four years in the Marine Corps as an avionics technician I worked for three years as a teacher/counselor in a wilderness setting with juvenile delinquents. I then went on to the University of Memphis and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.
I realized while working at Le Bonheur Children’s hospital as a Milieu Therapist that I wanted to be able to help people without drugs. I knew intuitively that if I could help patients discover and clear the cause of their dis-ease drugs would become unnecessary. This understanding launched me on a path to discover treatment methods which would aid me in this approach.
I attended the Center for Self Healing in San Francisco and also learned Holographic Repatterning and Reiki during my under-graduate studies at the University of Memphis. My wife Sherry is from Kansas City and I decided to attend Chiropractic school there where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. During my coursework in chiropractic I took lengthy outside studies in Acupuncture and Applied Kinesiology in addition to upper cervical specific adjusting and nutrition, the Brimhall Technique, Chiropractic Neurology and extremity adjusting.
I then worked for one year with a chiropractor in Kentucky and worked with the Amish community there applying his unique method of nutritional healing. There I confirmed that the body wants to heal and be healthy – if this is not occurring something is blocking or interfering with this process. My job became discovering the patient’s unique roadblock to health and balance and helping to remove them. After that occurs, I learned, healing becomes inevitable. These interferences can come from stress and negative thoughts/beliefs, nutritional deficiencies, toxins, spinal misalignments, infective organisms, scar tissue, electromagnetic fields, and food sensitivities/allergies.
When I opened my own practice in Tullahoma I began to blend standard chiropractic treatments with a variety of enhanced techniques including: Applied Kinesiology, Diversified, electrical stimulation, Thompson, S.O.T.(Sacro-Occipital Technique), Activator, Toggle Recoil, nutrition and E.F.T. (Emotional Freedom Technique). I have recently added low level laser therapy, bio-energetic reflex testing, ionic detoxifying footbaths and BRT (Body Restoration Technique) and Psych-K (Psychology plus Kinesiology).
I continue to study in order to create an atmosphere of Total Health for my patients.
