Director and Chiropractor
Dr. Jason Villani is the owner and operator of Verona Spine & Wellness. Dr. Jay, as he’s known by his patients, graduated Verona High School in 1988. From high school Dr. Jay attended and graduated college with a B.S in Exercise Science from West Chester P.A. After graduating college Dr. Jay made the decision to leave the field of exercise science and enroll in chiropractic school after an injury on the football field led him to chiropractic care for the first time. “I was shocked and blown away on how much relief I had received from just one visit and I knew after that first encounter I had found my path” Many people would happily agree with the change Dr. Jay made for since that day Dr. Jay has been taking care of the great people of Essex County NJ for the past 26 years. “In our office we take pride on treating you the patient as an individual not as a number”.
"Our focus and philosophy are on providing individual goal-based treatment plans that help the patient get out of pain and be able to get themselves back on their feet in the quickest amount of time. In 2013 Dr. Villani changed his practice from a solo chiropractic center to a now fully functioning wellness center that includes acupuncture, massage therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and the patented UltraSlim red light medical unit FDA cleared for fat loss and weight loss.
This change in practice philosophy has allowed Dr. Villani and his staff to see a wide variety of conditions that focus on a comprehensive treatment plan that combines multiple treatment options to best meet the patient’s individual needs. “In our office we take pride on treating you the patient as an individual not as a number”. At Verona Spine & Wellness we employ a multidisciplinary approach to your health care looking and analyzing several different factors which help our staff create the best tailor-made plan for you and your family.
In his spare time Dr. Villani enjoys staying active through various pursuits of wellness such as bodyboarding at the Jersey Shore, working out, playing golf, & being a full time Pug dad.
