Professional Sports Credentials That Translate to Patient Care

Dr. Nadler served as Team Chiropractic Physician for the Philadelphia Soul, the Philadelphia Barrage (3-time Major League Lacrosse Champions), and the Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League. He was the official team chiropractor for the Philadelphia Freedoms of World Team Tennis and served as a Sports Medicine Staff Chiropractic Physician at the 2001 X-Games. At the national level, he was selected as Team Chiropractic Physician for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup and was chosen as one of the physicians for the 2003 Women’s World Cup of Soccer. His treatment resume includes athletes across the NFL, NBA, MLB, and MLS.

For patients, that record reflects diagnostic precision and recovery-focused thinking developed while treating professional athletes, applied directly to every activity level, from weekend runners to people managing chronic back pain. Dr. Nadler is also a 2015 graduate of the FBI Citizens Academy, Philadelphia division, and maintains active memberships in the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association, the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Chiropractic Association Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness, the American Massage Therapy Association, and the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment.

Shockwave Therapy: A Center of Excellence in the Delaware Valley

Dr. Nadler is one of approximately 300 physicians worldwide certified by the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ISMST), a credential that's genuinely rare. The facility has been recognized as a Center of Excellence for chiropractic care and shockwave therapy services in the Delaware Valley, a designation tied to the volume and quality of procedures performed. According to the practice’s own shockwave services page, Dr. Nadler has performed more radial and focused shockwave therapy procedures than any provider in the Philadelphia region, with over 15 years of certified shockwave practice behind that record.

The technology itself is FDA-cleared and backed by extensive clinical studies supporting its safety and effectiveness. Treatments are non-invasive, require no anesthesia, leave no scarring, and involve no downtime. Radial, focused, and extracorporeal shockwave options are available, addressing conditions ranging from plantar fasciitis and tendon injuries to soft tissue restrictions, bone issues, and disc-related pain in the cervical and lumbar spine. Shockwave therapy may also support healing by stimulating metabolism and enhancing blood flow to affected areas, including the knees, hips, elbows, and shoulders.
