Chiropractic is the art and science of spinal manipulation and the use of other natural methods to restore normal biomechanical joint motion, nerve function and blood circulation. It is the most sought after holistic health care profession since its 1895 inception.

The federally regulated Council on Chiropractic Education establishes and enforces professional requirements. Additionally, national and state board examinations are required for licensing in each of the 50 states.

At the National University of the Health Sciences, Dr. Saracino’s alma mater, prior to graduation each doctoral candidate must complete a four-year premedical curriculum and five years of professional studies, including internship. National was the first chiropractic educational institution to: be regionally and chiropractic specific accredited, require a four-year prerequisite, have a five-year term and the first of its kind to publish a scientifically-indexed journal, and have an on-campus chiropractic hospital.

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 diagnose and treat: ADHD, migraine headaches, pain, tingling and numbness in the arms and legs.

The Chiropractic educational community recognized the need for expanding its specialized training and in 1979 initiated a three-year post-doctoral course in Clinical Neurology. Dr. Saracino was one of the first five Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologists in Pennsylvania and is a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board.

Chiropractic neurological treatments include: spinal decompression, rib and other joint manipulations, massage, physical therapy with muscle stimulation and ultrasound devices, nutritional counseling, one-on-one exercise and stretching sessions.

Types of Payment Accepted:

The patient is responsibility for obtaining copay, deductible, referral and third-party-administrator information prior to the first visit. Chiropractic neurologists are specialists, who, at times, require a referral from your primary care practitioner before services are covered. If a referral is required, please give to your primary care doctor my insurance ID# seen above and ask the office to fax the referral to 610 337 4858 and include on the fax transmital his or her fax number so I can promptly respond with a medical report. If the faxed referral is not received by the time you appear you will be required to pay the full initial-office visit fee. A third-party-administrator is a company the insurance company hires to greatly reduce the number of allowable visits, hence, it is important to know if one is used AND its name.

I will process your insurance forms at no charge if the coverage is understood and described accurately during the first visit by you. Cash and personal checks, only, are accepted.

Emergency / After hours information:

Flexible evening, weekend and emergency hours are avaialble.
