Why Dr. Luib stands out
- Dual clinical training: Doctor of Chiropractic and licensed acupuncture/TCM practitioner working in one integrated model of care.
- Multimodal approach: spinal care and functional assessment combined with acupuncture, cupping/moxibustion when appropriate, targeted nutrition, and herbal formulas.
- Filipino Traditional Medicine (Hilot): preserves and practices a respected indigenous healing art alongside modern conservative care.
- Education-forward care: clear explanations, practical home strategies, and emphasis on prevention and resilience.
- Community-minded: accessible offerings and group-based services when suitable, aimed at stress reduction and broadening access.
How she works
First-time visits focus on understanding your history and goals, then building a plan that may combine hands-on chiropractic, acupuncture/TCM modalities, and evidence-informed lifestyle support. Care is individualized—short, focused plans when that’s all you need; deeper programs when issues are chronic or complex.
