Treating Patients with Chronic Pain, Sports Injuries, Repetitive Motion Strain, and More

Havertown residents dealing with back pain, sports injuries, or chronic musculoskeletal conditions have access to chiropractic care that goes far beyond a typical adjustment at Dr. David W.

He holds post-doctoral training in chiropractic neurology from Cleveland Chiropractic College, is board-certified through the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and earned his Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician designation from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians. Throughout his career, Philadelphia Magazine recognized him as a Top Doctor.

Philadelphia’s Leader in Shockwave Therapy

Most chiropractic practices offer adjustments. Fewer offer shockwave therapy. Dr. Nadler is one of approximately 300 physicians worldwide certified by the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ISMST), an organization whose credentialing standards place it among the most rigorous in the field. Over more than a decade of certified practice, he has performed more radial and focused shockwave procedures than any other provider in the Philadelphia region. That distinction earned our facility recognition as a Center of Excellence for chiropractic care and shockwave therapy in the Delaware Valley.

Shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses acoustic energy to support healing in soft tissue at the cellular level. We offer both modalities: focused shockwave, which delivers higher-energy pulses to a precise target point, and radial shockwave, which disperses energy over a broader treatment area. Both are backed by FDA-cleared technology and extensive clinical studies. The treatment is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, causes no scarring, and involves no downtime. Common applications include plantar fasciitis, calcific tendinitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, and chronic tendinopathies that haven’t responded to conventional care.

Every Treatment We Offer Under One Roof

Our practice covers the full spectrum of musculoskeletal care, so Havertown patients don’t need to coordinate between multiple providers. Every service is available at a single location and integrated into one cohesive treatment plan.

Our services include:

  • Chiropractic care
  • Focused and radial shockwave therapy
  • Physical therapy
  • Soft tissue massage therapy
  • Vibration therapy
  • Graston Technique
  • Spinal decompression
  • Electrical stimulation
  • Ultrasound therapy
  • Linear gravity therapy
  • Game Ready therapy
  • Cupping
  • Nutritional support

Your first appointment begins with a thorough consultation, physical examination, and complete review of your symptoms and medical history. From that foundation, Dr. Nadler builds a treatment plan designed around your specific diagnosis, activity level, and goals. There are no generic adjustment schedules here. Every plan reflects what your body actually needs. 

Patients from the Havertown area can book directly without a physician referral for most services. We accept various insurance plans.

If you’re ready to stop managing pain and start correcting it, Dr. David W. Nadler & Associates is accepting new patients from Havertown and throughout Delaware County and the greater Philadelphia area. Call us at (610) 467-2227 or contact us online to schedule your first visit!
