“Tender Loving Care”
Barbara Ladagona, D.C.
TLC Family Chiropractic is a wellness practice from which the whole family can benefit. Most patients of TLC are symptom-free and utilize chiropractic care to maintain their health.
Doctors of TLC treat a condition of the spine and nervous system referred to as subluxation. Subluxation is defined as nerve pressure from misaligned and locked vertebrae. These misaligned spinal bones, which irritate and choke nerves, cause malfunction of the organs, muscles and cells of an individual.
Dr. Ladagona uses gentle adjusting techniques to safely restore balance and motion to “locked joints,” which then reduces nerve pressure and pain. Many people have subluxation (pinched nerves), without pain. It is similar to having clogged arteries or dental cavities without symptoms. Early detection is key for preventing degenerative joint and organ disease.
Dr. Ladagona uses Cranial/Sacral technique, Full Spine Diversified, and Thompson Techniques.
Dr. Ladagona checks babies as young as four days old for subluxation which is often caused by the birth process. If subluxation is left undetected and uncorrected, it can cause:
- A lowered state of health
- Neck Pain
- Headaches
- Lower Back Pain
- Sciatica
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Jaw Pain/TMJ Dysfunction
- Numbness & Tingling
- Ear Infections
- Mid-Back Pain
- Tight/Sore Muscles
- Chronic Fatigue
- Insomnia/Restlessness

Dr. Barbara Ladagona graduated in 1978 from New York Chiropractic College. She has been a chiropractor for over 25 years and is now re-establishing herself in the Howell Township Community of Monmouth County, New Jersey. Her practice consists of taking care of children, families and individuals whose awareness has shifted to wellness/preventative health care.
The doctor and staff of TLC Family Chiropractic are their patients’ “health coaches”. It is our purpose to educate this community with the benefits of Chiropractic care for the entire family and to provide information on alternative health care choices. We are facilitators of positive changes so that we, the human race, may awaken to their fullest potential in body, mind and spirit.
