Between the lines: - The patient data points to a clinic mix concentrated in chronic or hard-to-define symptoms rather than routine wellness visits. - The age profile suggests the clinic is drawing many middle-aged patients, a group that often manages longer-term neck and dizziness complaints. - NeckWise is positioning the Land O’ Lakes office as part of a broader strategy centered on upper cervical education and standardized care. - The organization was founded in 2024 by Dr. Andrew Hall, Dr. Rusty Lavender and Dr. Matt Morris. - Hall has practiced Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic since 2002 and served as president of the Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic Society from 2009 to 2020. - Hall has taught the Blair Technique nationally and internationally and has trained numerous doctors in upper cervical chiropractic.
