Dr. Jake LaVere
Chiropractor – National University of Health Sciences
Dr. Jake graduated from the National University of Health Sciences Florida in 2014, where he founded the Sports Council program. His focus and passion lead him towards injury prevention and rehab in sports and movement. He provided triage and emergency care as doctor or medical director for over 200 sporting events ranging from 5k’s, USA Wrestling, Rowing World Championship, World Grand Prix Judo, World Cup and Olympic trial events. He has worked with multiple professional sports teams creating and implementing injury prevention protocols and developing tests for the MLB Combine and incorporating sports science into the USA baseball PDP program.
Dr. Jake has been a featured speaker at numerous medical Eeents including the FCA conference discussing topics ranging from brain and body biomechanics to injury prevention and analyzing objective data. He was awarded a grant and published a study on fall prevention, a program that he co-created working with the University of South Florida neuroscience department. He volunteered at a school, designing a purposeful movement program for autistic children. He’s ecstatic to utilize these experiences to implement unique and effective styles of rehab and long-term spinal correction into his daily clinic work.
Dr. Jake grew up in California and Florida and is in awe of learning about seasons, the Midwest, fireflies, and ranch dressing. After a year of training he is very proud to have completed an Olympic triathlon, ranking somewhere in the lower middle and has no current plans to ever compete in one ever again. He enjoys golf, suspense films and getting beat by his wife while playing the boardgame, Risk. After years of effort he has grown to appreciate his wife’s love of musical theater. His favorite is “Hamilton”. Jenny would like him to read more classic literature. She suggested Beowulf. He’s six pages in (on Cliff’s Notes).
