OUR GUIDING PRINCIPALS:

Your head should be sitting on top of your neck and body straight, in a vertical line.

If your head is not on straight, there can be irritation effecting cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and a decrease in blood flow throughout the body. This can contribute to migraine headaches, other headaches, neck pain, and neurological complications.

You should be able to stand on both your legs equally and evenlly.

If one leg is contracted and shorter than the other, it usually comes from a misalignment of the pelvis and lower back. Most of the time it goes unnoticed because your body has the ability to compensate. If you usually stand buckling one knee and swaying your hip to one side, you most likely have one leg shorter than the other. This can contribute to back pain, knee pain, sciatica, and other lower extremity conditions like numbness and tingling.

When your head, neck, and pelvis are in alignment, your body has a better chance to heal itself.

Most of us go through life and we have accidents, falls, injuries, or repetitive micro-trauma like hunching forward for hours in front of a computer. Over time, these events can disrupt your spine's proper alignment. You can be walking around not knowing your spine is misaligned, but feeling that “something is off,” or you may be experiencing pain right now. The spine is the house that protects your nervous system and if your spine is misaligned, the nerves will be irritated, resulting in pain and discomfort.

*Upper Cervical Chiropractor | NUCCA Certified | Family & Pediatric Care*
Dr. Laura Ferrao has been helping patients achieve lasting relief from pain and discomfort for over a decade. Her expertise in upper cervical chiropractic care—especially the Atlas bone—has helped individuals recover from debilitating conditions and avoid invasive procedures.
She has helped patients transition from wheelchairs to walking, alleviated chronic back pain to prevent lumbar surgery, and supported pregnant women through complex cases like placenta previa, enabling natural births. Her care has also positively impacted babies in utero and newborns, including babies hospitalized for colic.
Originally from Puerto Rico, Dr. Ferrao earned her biology degree from the Inter-American University before attending Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida. A mission trip to the Dominican Republic, where she adjusted a newborn and witnessed immediate transformation, inspired her focus on upper cervical care—an approach that aligns the spine for deep, whole-body healing.
Dr. Ferrao practices in Austin and is one of the few chiropractors in the region certified in NUCCA. She is also pursuing certification with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), reflecting her commitment to caring for infants, children, and expectant mothers.
Outside of her practice, Dr. Ferrao enjoys hiking, barre, meditation, and cooking with her family. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and warmly welcomes Spanish-speaking patients.
