Dr. Trenton Ward
Chiropractor
Dr. Trent Ward is a devoted chiropractor who grew up with chiropractic care as a natural part of everyday life. Receiving regular adjustments from his grandfather, he experienced firsthand the benefits of a healthy spine and nervous system. During high school, while playing soccer, Dr. Trent suffered an injury that left him with a debilitating headache. The adjustment his grandfather gave him afterward provided immediate relief — an experience that not only deepened his appreciation for chiropractic care but also inspired him to dedicate his life to helping others through the same approach.
Dr. Trent earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences from The Ohio State University, graduating magna cum laude. There, he developed a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and human performance that continues to guide his patient-centered approach to care. He then completed his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University in Marietta, Georgia, graduating as Salutatorian of his class. His education and training, blending rigorous academics, extensive hands-on clinical experience, community outreach, and international mission work, have equipped him with exceptional technical skill and a deeply compassionate approach to care.
Dr. Trent is a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP), Activator Certified, and Webster Certified. He is fluent in Diversified and Thompson/Drop techniques, allowing him to tailor care to the specific needs, comfort levels, and goals of each patient. His diverse training enables him to confidently care for individuals across all stages of life.
He has a special passion for caring for people from newborns to the elderly, as well as athletes and anyone striving to improve overall health and performance. Dr. Trent is committed to restoring proper nervous system function and supporting the body’s innate ability to heal.
Outside the office, Dr. Trent enjoys spending time with his wife, Morgan, son, Stetson, and their dog, Kimber. They love exploring the outdoors through hiking, hunting, and staying active together. As both a doctor and a father, he understands the importance of proactive health and strong families. His mission is not only to help individuals feel better, but to help families thrive and communities grow stronger through patient-centered chiropractic care.
Dr. Jonathan Laux
Founding Chiropractor
Dr. Jonathan Laux is the founder of Laux Chiropractic and has been serving patients in the Lima area since opening the practice in May 2001. Although he was born in Coldwater, Ohio, he moved to Lima with his family at a young age and has proudly called the community home ever since.
Dr. Laux's interest in chiropractic care began during high school after a golf-related injury led him to seek treatment from a chiropractor. Experiencing firsthand how chiropractic care helped him recover and return to the activities he enjoyed sparked a lasting interest in the profession. That experience ultimately inspired him to pursue a career dedicated to helping others improve their quality of life through conservative, patient-centered care.
He completed his undergraduate studies at The Ohio State University and The University of Toledo before earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University's School of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia. Following graduation, Dr. Laux chose to return to Northwest Ohio to build his career in the community that had shaped him. Wanting to stay close to family and serve the area he considered home, he established Laux Chiropractic in Lima in 2001.
Over the past two decades, Dr. Laux has built his practice around a simple philosophy: take the time to listen, provide thorough evaluations, and develop personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. He believes that effective chiropractic care begins with understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them into the office.
Dr. Laux enjoys caring for patients of all ages and backgrounds, from children and families to athletes, working professionals, and older adults. His approach focuses on helping patients improve mobility, stay active, and maintain their health through every stage of life. Patients often appreciate his thoughtful approach, clear communication, and commitment to making them feel comfortable and informed throughout their care.
Outside the office, Dr. Laux enjoys spending time with his wife, Trisha, their four children, and grandson. Together, they have built both a family and a practice rooted in the values of trust, compassion, and community. Trisha serves as the office manager at Laux Chiropractic, helping create the welcoming, family-oriented environment that patients have come to know and appreciate.
