About Dr. David W. Nadler

Dr. Nadler holds the credentials D.C., C.C.S.P., and D.A.A.P.M., with training that spans chiropractic neurology, physiology, and physical therapy. His postdoctoral work in chiropractic neurology is from Cleveland Chiropractic College, and he is board-certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. He also holds a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician designation from the American Board of Chiropractic Sports Physicians, as well as an A.S. and L.P.T.A. in Physical Therapy from Harcum College in Bryn Mawr. Before entering chiropractic practice, he served on staff at St. Agnes Medical Center as a burn therapist.

With 30 years in chiropractic practice, Dr. Nadler has earned recognition that goes beyond regional reputation. Throughout his career, Philadelphia Magazine named him a Top Doctor, and Suburban Life Magazine featured him for his work in shockwave therapy. He is a licensed chiropractic physician in both Pennsylvania and Delaware and a 2015 graduate of the FBI Citizens Academy, Philadelphia division. His active memberships include the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association, the American Chiropractic Association Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness, the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Massage Therapy Association, and the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment. This keeps our approach grounded in current clinical research.

More Shockwave Therapy Experience Than Any Provider in the Philadelphia Region

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, increase circulation, break down scar tissue and calcifications, and reduce inflammation at the tissue level. The technology we use is FDA-cleared and supported by extensive clinical studies regarding safety and effectiveness. Shockwave treatment is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, leaves no scarring, and involves no downtime. Conditions commonly addressed include plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, and jumper’s knee. We offer both radial and focused shockwave therapy, and the right modality depends on your specific diagnosis and treatment goals.

Dr. Nadler is one of only 300 physicians worldwide certified by the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment. Combined with over 15 years of certified shockwave practice and more radial and focused shockwave procedures performed than any provider in the Philadelphia region, this experience has helped our practice earn recognition as a Center of Excellence for chiropractic and shockwave therapy services in the Delaware Valley.
