Tampa Bay welcomes WAVE Wellness Center, a state-of-the-art spinal care clinic founded by Dr. Ryan LaChance. WAVE Wellness specializes in Upper Cervical spinal care, a strict discipline of Chiropractic focusing on the most vital area of the spine — C1 and C2, or the Atlas and Axis bones — to ensure it is structurally and neurologically sound.
“Just about every nerve in your body meets at the base of the skull, forms the brainstem, and is protected by these upper-most vertebrae in the spine,” Dr. LaChance explains. “The brainstem is the control center of the body’s nervous system, and is responsible for regulating every single organ, tissue, cell, function, system, and process in the entire body. If those upper-most vertebrae are misaligned, it can put pressure on the brainstem and interfere with the normal neurologic signals and proper nervous system communication between the brain and body.”
Upper Cervical Chiropractors aren’t focused on “back pain,” or the treatment of any disease for that matter, but rather, restoring function throughout the body. They believe our bodies are capable of healing themselves when given the opportunity to do so — and that begins by having a properly functioning nervous system.
Dr. LaChance didn’t set out to specialize in Upper Cervical spinal care. It wasn’t until he experienced this type of care himself that he decided to pursue it.
“I fell in love with it after receiving consistent Upper Cervical care myself. Over time, I noticed that I no longer had headaches, no longer had feelings of anxiety or depression, my gut health problems resolved, my allergies went away, I could sleep better, and I never experienced any symptoms of my Lyme Disease again. Since I was feeling better than I had in over a decade, I knew that I had to become an Upper Cervical Chiropractor.”
Only about 0.1% of Chiropractors are Upper Cervical specific. And WAVE Wellness uses the most advanced nervous system scanning and 3D imaging technology with every new client.
Based on those images, they will determine if and how a client needs adjusted, and administer their incredibly safe and gentle technique that involves no popping, cracking, twisting, or pulling of the spine.
It is important to understand that WAVE Wellness does not diagnose disease, but provides wellness care, which everyone can benefit from, from newborns to parents, and students to athletes. Since health insurance does not cover this type of service, WAVE Wellness strives to make care as affordable as possible. They offer family packages, so your entire household can experience the benefits of Upper Cervical Chiropractic. Some of the most common conditions people first seek care for are migraines, anxiety and depression, gut health, neurological disorders, and autoimmune conditions.
Dr. LaChance had a final word — “I want you to know that WAVE Wellness has something for you. You are unique. You are different. And so are we.”
