DR. LAUREN BAH
Dr. Lauren Bah received her Bachelor of Arts undergraduate degree magna cum laude in Biology from Concordia College of Moorhead, Minnesota in 2006. In 2011, she graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic also magna cum laude from the University Of Western States in Portland, Oregon.
Growing up in Minnesota, Dr. Bah always knew she wanted to practice in the healthcare field but was uncertain which route to take. She had been surrounded by chiropractic her whole life and had her dad to thank for getting her through years of sports injuries but was unsure if she wanted to follow the same path. However, after a couple of ‘self searching’ backpacking trips to Europe she came back realizing what values and goals she wanted to represent as a doctor and chiropractic embodied that vision.
Dr. Bah takes a holistic and conservative approach to healthcare. A tunnel vision approach to patients is something she strays far from. She feels it is her mission to uproot the source and/or sources of the problem patient’s present with by implementing chiropractic manipulation, soft tissue therapy, diet, nutrition, and exercise as foundations to her treatment. She specializes in chiropractic nutrition, the Graston Technique of soft tissue therapy, as well as family and sports-focused chiropractic. Dr. Bah also feels patient education is a crucial and key component in care and recovery because if you tell a patient they will forget, show them and they may remember, but it is when you involve them that they understand. When she is away from her practice, Dr. Bah loves to spend time with her family and friends as well as travel and explore Oregon. Running is a passion and what she considers a staple in her workout routines. She feels it is imperative to keep a healthy lifestyle in order to keep her in shape to take care of her patients.
