Most people know that
chiropractors help with back and neck problems.
People in auto accidents often benefit from
chiropractic treatment. Even minor
fender-benders can cause soft tissue damage.
Left untreated, this damage may cause prolonged
chronic pain and possible arthritis. Early
intervention is best.
In addition to back and neck problems,
chiropractic treatment helps with chronic pain,
sports injuries, and carpal tunnel too.

Experience:
Dr. Shafer has a wide
range of experience. When completing an
internship, he joined the staff of a major
medical center that saw over 800 patients per
week. Within two years, he rose to the position
of Director of Chiropractic at the center.
Within two more years, Dr. Shafer was also the
Supervisor of Rehab and PT, managing the
chiropractic care, rehab, and physical therapy
of a wide range of patients. In these positions,
Dr. Shafer gained experience with a variety of
conditions that many chiropractors never
encounter.
Another benefit of this experience is the range
of doctors with which Dr. Shafer has worked,
including: medical doctors, osteopaths,
occupational therapists, exercise physiologists,
physical therapists, massage therapists, and
dentists.

Facilities:
Our new office is
conveniently located on Route 136 in Hempfield
Township, right below the Shop N’ Save Plaza.
Here we offer more than spinal adjustments, as our
facilities are equipped with a room for
physiotherapy, as well as physical therapeutic
exercise and rehab. We also offer muscle stim,
traction, and ultrasound. You won’t need to
travel from one site where you had your
spine adjusted to another for rehab. You can do it
all in our office!
