Dr. Ang Ribaste
Ang Ribaste, D.C., owner of Prairie Village Chiropractic, helps clients of all ages achieve life-long optimum health and peak performance by providing a full spectrum of holistic chiropractic care and brain health support in a family-oriented environment.
Dr. Ang has spent more than 20 years helping her clients move with greater ease through preventative care and restorative treatments that address painful and challenging conditions, including sports injuries, concussions, neuropathy and more.
A painful, personal road to recovery.
In 2015, Dr. Ang experienced a life-altering and devastating traumatic brain injury after a freak car accident. The brain injury upended her life, making daily activities painful and overwhelming. She struggled to concentrate at work, drive, grocery shop, sleep, or enjoy her favorite pastimes like reading, going to concerts, attending sporting events and spending time with friends.
Anything visually stimulating or noisy would cause overwhelm and agonizing pain in her neck and head.
Then in 2016, she consulted with a chiropractic neurologist in Texas, and her road to recovery finally began. The injury and subsequent recovery transformed her career trajectory.
Specializing in a holistic approach to brain health.
Dr. Ang received her Doctor of Chiropractic from Cleveland College. She believes that to heal from injury, pain or chronic disease, you must not only care for your spine but also address other important factors that impact health like nutrition, exercise and lifestyle. To that end, she works closely with her clients to help them achieve their individual wellness goals.
