Chiropractic Care & Shockwave Therapy in Edgmont

No Surgeries, No Drugs, Just Relief

Dr. David W. Nadler is a chiropractic physician with credentials that go well beyond a standard D.C. He holds the C.C.S.P. and D.A.A.PM. designations, completed post-doctoral training in chiropractic neurology at Cleveland Chiropractic College, and earned board certification through the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. His foundation in neurology, physiology, and physical therapy (A.S. and L.P.T.A., Harcum College) shapes an approach focused on identifying and correcting the root cause of your pain rather than covering it up. 

At Dr. David W. Nadler & Associates, the first visit includes a thorough consultation, physical examination, and complete review of your symptoms and medical history. From that starting point, Dr. Nadler builds a treatment plan specific to your condition and goals. Conditions treated include back pain, neck pain, tennis elbow, herniated discs, whiplash, rotator cuff injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, TMJ, headaches, and motor vehicle accident injuries. Every plan is built around the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.

Radial & Focused Shockwave Therapy in Edgmont

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing response in damaged soft tissue. The practice offers both focused and radial shockwave therapy using FDA-cleared technology backed by extensive clinical studies. Focused shockwave targets specific deep tissues and is used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Radial shockwave disperses acoustic energy across a broader area, making it a treatment option for larger or more superficial regions. Together, the two modalities are used to treat acute and chronic injuries, soft-tissue conditions, and musculoskeletal issues affecting the knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, and cervical and lumbar spine.

The treatment is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, leaves no scarring, and involves no downtime. For some patients, it can be a path to relief that doesn’t involve medication or surgery, though outcomes depend on the individual and the condition. What distinguishes care here is the combination of FDA-cleared equipment and a physician certified by the same international body that sets the global standard for shockwave practice.

A Full Range of Treatment Modalities Under One Roof

Complex and sports-related injuries rarely respond to a single approach. That’s why the practice offers a comprehensive range of therapies alongside chiropractic and shockwave, including physical therapy, soft tissue massage therapy, vibration therapy, the Graston Technique, spinal decompression, electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, linear gravity therapy, game-ready therapy, cupping, and nutritional support.

This multimodal model reflects Dr. Nadler’s decades of treating elite athletes, in which combining manual adjustment, soft-tissue work, and therapeutic technology is standard practice. That same framework applies here for patients of every background and activity level, from Delaware County residents managing chronic pain to local athletes recovering from injury.
