Despite earning an MD, he continues to practice as a chiropractic physician, bringing a holistic and multidimensional approach to healthcare.

In addition, his commitment to continuous learning is reflected in his postgraduate certifications in Primary Spine Care, Sports Rehabilitation, and Spinal Trauma. His passion for community well-being led him to establish the non profit Wellness Education Foundation, extending wellness services globally.

The non profit resources go to support missions which provide clean drinking water to indigent communities world-wide.

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Wade has shared his knowledge by teaching at Life Chiropractic College in the past.

Thompson, Dr. Don Harrison, Dr. Vern Pierce, Dr. Arlin Furr, and Dr. Larry Webster, incorporating specialized Sports Rehabilitation techniques and a concentration in Pediatric and Chiropractic Biophysics, a spinal corrective care technique into his practice.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.
