Each year the World Surf League's Championship Tour (WSL) ends its year-long season with professional events at Haleiwa, Sunset Beach, and the Banzai Pipeline, where the world's best surfers come to compete and ride the best and most challenging waves. Dr. Vella had the opportunity to provide chiropractic care for elite athletes and help them perform their best while competing.

From newborns to the elderly, world-class athletes, pregnancy, and the most challenging cases, Dr. Vella is highly experienced and will develop a plan to suit your personal health needs.
