Dr. Laura Ferrao, D.C.
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.
