I was introduced to chiropractic in 1991 while an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin. I was having right lower back pain, spasms and headaches, particularly around exam time. Through chiropractic, I got the relief I was hoping for and was inspired. I went on to graduate from Life Chiropractic College in Marietta, GA. I returned home to Philadelphia in 1998, and soon after, was lucky to meet a very beautiful and caring woman. We married in 2002 and have since been blessed with two wonderful children.
When I am not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with my family, working out, listening to music and watching sports, especially the Eagles, Sixers, Phillies and Flyers!

Here is some stuff I use...
My Hands
Dry Hydrotherapy
A table that combines the
healing benefits of floatation, heat and massage in a single system.
You are fully clothed, comfortably supported and protected by a durable
barrier while streams of heated water are directed to the treatment
area. Hydromassage is used to relax your body, reduce muscle spasms and increase circulation. For more info www.sidmar.com
Flexion/Distraction Table
A specially designed
treatment
table used for low back pain and radiating leg pain/numbness. A gentle
procedure that tractions the spine and then flexes, passively
stretching tight muscles, restoring joint movement and reducing disc
protrusion to relieve pressure on the nerve. A very effective,
conservative approach to low back and leg pain and an alternative to
explore before surgery.
Arthrostim
An instrument which gives small, gentle, mechanical impulses into the restricted joint to help break up the tension and restore normal joint movement. This will help reduce or eliminate your pain and increase your range of motion.
Vibracussor
A massage instrument for those
who suffer from musculoskeletal pain and myofascial syndrome. The
clinical benefits are believed to increase
the amount of blood and lymphatic circulation by its powerful action of
vibration and percussion, decreasing muscle tension and spasm.
Laser
Low-level laser therapy
is the application of red and near infrared light over injuries or
wounds to help control pain, reduce inflammation and accelerate healing
of damaged tissue.
Low-level therapy uses cold laser light which causes certain
photochemical reactions to occur without injuring or damaging cells in
any way. The therapy is precise and accurate; and offers safe and
effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions.
