There could not be a better name then New Leaf Chiropractic Wellness Center for Dr. Michael Pease.
After 20 years in the telecommunications business, Dr. Pease was looking for a career change that would get him out from behind a computer to more face-to-face interaction with people.
Although he lived a healthy lifestyle, eating mostly healthy foods and exercising regularly, being at a desk all day long resulted in frequent headaches, neck pain and insomnia.
“I liked my job, but didn’t like how it made me feel,” said Dr. Pease, who worked for Alltel Communications in its cellular division for many years. “I was only in my mid-30s, but already had prehypertension and didn’t have the energy I should for someone who was so health conscious.”
And then seven years ago, he had an “aha moment” that changed his life forever. “I happened to meet a chiropractor at a health screening event,” said Dr. Pease. “I told the doctor about my medical problems, and he said he could help. After just three months under his care, I saw a 180-degree improvement in my health.”
As Dr. Pease tells the story, he describes it as an awakening — a calling that took his life in a completely new direction. “It was almost as if the clouds parted and I knew what I was meant to do — to help people get well, just as I had been helped,” he explains.
With this insight, Dr. Pease quit his job and turned over a “new leaf,” enrolling in Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange.
“That was back in 2008. I have never looked back and never doubted that I made the right decision,” said Dr. Pease. After graduating as a chiropractic physician, Dr. Pease moved to Tampa tobe closer to his two teenage children and started his own practice in a shared facility on Bearss Avenue.
In August of this year, he moved to Lutz to a professional center on State Road 54, located just east of the new Lowe’s store.
“Our name is apropos for myself as well as our patients, because they too are often turning over a ‘new leaf’ to get healthy and stay fit,” said Dr. Pease. “I believe everyone can benefit from chiropractic treatments. I give every one of my patients 100 percent of my focus and energy. I strive to maintain good communication with patients, and am always open.”
Dr. Pease is currently offering special promotional discounts on initial exams for new patients, as well as discount cash payment options. He strives to keep his rates affordable and offers flexible payment plans.
