About
Mark Saracino, DC,DACAN
Chiropractic has grown in popularity due to its high patient approval rating, effectiveness and safety. Spinal manipulation combined with physical therapy, which he renders, has been scientifically-proven to be the most effective low back pain therapy for conditions not requiring surgery. Chiropractic Neurology is an exclusive sub-specialty within chiropractic which treats - migraine, neck pain, low back pain AND neurologic disorders such as pain, tingling and numbness in the arms and legs, car accident, work-related and slip-and-fall injuries.
Chiropractic Neurology is an exclusive sub-specialty within chiropractic. A rigorous three years of additional training and Board examination in the functions of the brain and nervous system (similar to those which a medical neurologist undergoes) better enable us to diagnosis and treat many conditions such as head pain, migraine, cluster and tension headaches, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand pain; scoliosis, mid-back and digestive disorders; low back, hip, knee, ankle and foot pain; neurologic disorders such as tingling and numbness in the arms and legs, Bells Palsy (facial paralysis), Meniere's Disease (ringing in the ears), dizziness, stroke and car accident, work-related and slip-and-fall injuries.
Dr. Saracino was one of the first five Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologists in Pennsylvania and is currently certified Diplomat of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (ACNB). For more information check out their website below.
Chiropractic neurological treatments include: exercise rehabilitation (on premise), stretching, nutritional counseling, massage, physical therapy and spinal decompression. The focus on muscles, ligaments and tendons to rebalance the nervous system allows for fewer spinal manipulations than those used by regular doctors of chiropractic.
"My approach is to work closely with each individual, taking the time to explain the diagnosis and prognosis for every procedure and ailment, as an informed patient has a much better chance for a fast recovery."
"The human body has a miraculous ability to protect and heal itself. Injury, stress, bad posture, poor nutrition and disease restrict the motion of the spine and alter normal body functioning. Chiropractic neurological treatments help restore normal motion and function and speed the healing process by reintegrating the nervous system. As a practicing physician of over 25 years, I am constantly amazed at the incredible ability of the body to heal itself."
