Sports Medicine in Newtown Square & Philadelphia
Root-Cause Care from a National-Level Sports Chiropractic Physician
Dr. David W. Nadler, D.C., C.C.S.P., D.A.A.PM., has spent decades treating patients most practices never see: elite athletes competing at the highest levels of professional sports, U.S. national soccer teams at the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the 2003 Women’s World Cup, and people whose chronic pain hasn’t responded to anything else. That breadth of experience is what you bring through our door when you schedule with Dr. David W. Nadler & Associates.
His approach is simple in principle and rigorous in practice; find the root cause of your discomfort rather than masking symptoms with medication, then build a plan around your specific condition and goals. Dr. Nadler completed post-doctoral training in chiropractic neurology at Cleveland Chiropractic College, holds board certification through the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and earned the Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician designation from the American Board of Chiropractic Sports Physicians. Throughout his career, Philadelphia Magazine named him a Top Doctor. With those qualifications, he's able to use a variety of methods to treat a wide range of conditions.
Your first appointment includes a thorough consultation, physical examination, and full review of your symptoms and medical history so Dr. Nadler can build a plan that’s tailored specifically to you.

Using the Latest Pain Relief Technology
Dr. Nadler is one of the leading practitioners certified by the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment, and he’s performed more radial and focused shockwave therapy procedures than any other provider in the Philadelphia region across more than 15 years of certified practice. That volume matters because shockwave therapy rewards precision. Our facility has been recognized as a Center of Excellence for chiropractic care and shockwave therapy services in the Delaware Valley, a designation tied directly to the consistency and quality of care we provide.
The treatment uses FDA-cleared technology to deliver high-energy acoustic waves that stimulate the body’s natural healing process by increasing blood circulation, breaking down scar tissue and calcifications, reducing inflammation, and promoting cellular repair. It’s non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, leaves no scarring, and involves no downtime. It may be effective for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis or golfer’s elbow, shoulder tendinitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and chronic muscle tightness that hasn’t responded to rest or traditional care.
ALL THE TREATMENTS YOU NEED ARE AVAILABLE UNDER ONE ROOF AT Dr. David W. Nadler & Associates.

Complete Care & Rehabilitation
Shockwave is one tool in a much larger kit. Under one roof, we offer chiropractic care, physical therapy, soft tissue massage therapy, vibration therapy, the Graston Technique, spinal decompression, electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, cupping, nutritional support, and more. Dr. Nadler’s background spans neurology, physiology, and physical therapy, including an A.S. and L.P.T.A. in Physical Therapy from Harcum College, so your care plan can draw on multiple disciplines rather than defaulting to a single modality.
That same multidisciplinary thinking is what Dr. Nadler brought to the sidelines when he served as team chiropractic physician for the Philadelphia Soul, the three-time Major League Lacrosse Champion Philadelphia Barrage, and the Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League. He’s treated athletes across the NFL, NBA, MLB, and MLS. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing a herniated disc, or dealing with chronic neck and back pain that’s been limiting your life, we work to get you to the place our tagline describes: feeling better, moving better, and being better.
Dr. Nadler is a licensed chiropractic physician in both Pennsylvania and Delaware, and he’s an active member of the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association, the American Chiropractic Association Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness, the American College of Sports Medicine, and the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment. Our office is committed to offering the latest treatments from trained and certified professionals.
