Now accepting new patients for neuro-structural chiropractic. One room, one table, one patient, one DC equals one-on-one time and individual attention.

Essential Healing
Essential Healing is a philosophy formulated by Dr. Kalaba centered on 4 aspects that need to be addressed for you to heal on the foundational level.
Ketogenic Eating
Ketogenic eating at its core is a major shift from eating to satisfy hunger and/or suppress your emotions—eating to feel good—to simply eating to fuel and nourish your body, and for many, losing weight. How simple can you keep it?

Are You Ready for 1-on-1 Coaching
And Lifestyle Advising?
We can’t be our best selves and maximize our impact on the world when we are experiencing chronic inflammation, fatigue, and dis-ease. Therefore, our health should be our #1 priority.
For someone who is experiencing these challenges, moving yourself and your health to the top of your to-do-list is very powerful and is often the catalyst to creating a transformational life-experience.
Dr. Kalaba believes that each human being is intrinsically valuable, but also understands that not every person who applies for lifestyle consulting will be a good fit for her approach. She utilizes a very deliberate and systematic application process, which allows her to select candidates that have the best opportunity to experience a positive outcome.
Are we a good fit?
This application process is first focused on whether you, the prospective program participant, are ready to make lifestyle changes.
Do you possess these qualities to help ensure your success?
The application process focuses on whether you possess qualities that would make you a good overall fit. Some of those qualities include health being a top priority, being motivated to get better, having a great support system, and a pleasant and optimistic attitude.
Is 50, Mighty, & Vital for you?
50, Mighty, & Vital is for you if you seek specific health coaching—Essential Healing Coaching sessions—with the support of chiropractic care, to obtain the necessary tools to turn your health around and pursue the life of your dreams, AND you are ready and willing to commit the time, energy, and financial investment it requires to make a difference in your health.
About Dr. Kalaba
My name is Dr. Lee Ann Kalaba, and I am super excited about the possibility of supporting you in jump-starting your health at Vital Life Chiropractic & Wellness.
First, I have had my own pretty miraculous healing journey. Not only have I had 2 severely herniated discs since my early 20s, I have also been managing chronic Epstein Barr virus for over 20 years. Like many of you, I have been told it’s all in my head.
I found chiropractic and within just a few weeks, I began to heal. Along with that, I started sleeping better, my allergies became less and less. I was even able to manage stress better, having fewer and eventually no panic attacks. More importantly, I realized that healing happened from the inside. I didn’t choose chiropractic for what it did for my back. I chose chiropractic for what it did for my being.
This is one reason I’m so passionate about natural health and have been for over 20 years. I’m on a mission to help transform the lives of my practice members, using improved health as a catalyst so they can then go out into the world and do something they never thought possible.
On top of this, I have used ketogenic eating to lose 140lbs over the last 5+ years! So, I really do understand what patients are going through and how to help them.
We can’t be our best selves and maximize our impact in our lives, with our families, on the job, or out in the world when we are experiencing chronic inflammation, fatigue, and dis-ease. Therefore, our health should be our #1 priority. This is why I am honored to be your Tucson chiropractor.
For someone who is experiencing these challenges, moving yourself and your health to the top of your to-do-list is very powerful and is often the catalyst to creating a transformational life experience.

Testimonials
Dr. Lee Ann provides a thorough evaluation & walks you through the entire process so you know exactly what to expect during your care. This was my first time to a chiropractor & had some anxiety as to what to expect. She’s uses a gentle technique which alleviated any anxiety I had. She was extremely professional & caring as to the issues I was having. Asked lots of questions & was great with my follow up care! Definitely recommend for chiropractic care.
-Natalia
I’ve never been to a Chiro that has taken as thorough of an intake to be sure she understands my body and what I need. I really appreciate her gentle approach and that it works WITH the nervous system, not AT the nervous system! I recommend her to my massage clients who are looking for a chiropractor who isn’t going to simply bring them in, crack them, and send them on their way in 15 minutes or less. Thank you Lee Ann Kalaba for all you do!
-Andrea
I’ve been receiving regular treatments from Dr. Lee Ann for over a year. My initial visits were for help with pain and nutritional therapy, but now I go for maintenance and I’m happy to report she has helped me change my health and my outlook on life. She is a gifted practitioner who works with you to make the necessary changes to improve your overall health. Thank you, Dr. Lee Ann!!
