Client Testimonial

‘‘I was injured in 2002 when my car was rear-ended. I suffered a torn ligament in my left shoulder and was unable to lift my arm or put any weight on my shoulder. I play electric bass, but with this injury, I couldn't play music. After months and many sessions of physical therapy and acupuncture, my shoulder was healing with a deformity. I was still losing sleep at night due to pain. Going to a chiropractor terrified me, however I felt that I had tried everything else. Within 3 months of seeing Dr. Ban and other practitioners at the clinic, I had regained full range of motion and was playing bass again. I was so impressed that I have become a regular patient, coming in for “tune-ups” and treatment for other small problems I've had. ’’

Dr. Agi Ban

Dr. Ban opened Ashby Chiropractic and Health Center in 1994 with a commitment to create an office that provides a spectrum of healing arts.

Through expert diagnosis and hands-on doctoring, Dr. Ban gives the individualized attention that is often lacking in today's health system. Using myofascial release, chiropractic adjustments, a variety of physical therapy modalities, and Pilates-based exercise programs, Dr. Ban heals injuries and optimizes her patient's mobility and continued comfort. She works with orthopedists, podiatrists, and nutritionists outside of the office to ensure that you get complete care.

Dr Ban's specialty areas are in disc injuries, spinal stabilization and whiplash injuries. She is trained as a court expert witness, experience that has deepened her understanding of the specialized treatment needed for injuries caused by auto accidents. She also has training as a Chiropractic Sport's Physician.
