What Sets Dr. Nadler Apart

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. That volume is one reason the practice 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 quality and quantity of procedures performed here. Globally, Dr. Nadler is one of approximately 300 physicians worldwide certified by the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment, placing him in a rare group of practitioners with formal credentialing in this area.

His sports medicine credentials reinforce that standing. Dr. Nadler served as Team Chiropractic Physician for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup and was selected as one of the physicians for the 2003 Women’s World Cup of Soccer. He has also treated athletes in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and MLS throughout his career. Throughout his career, Philadelphia Magazine recognized him as a Top Doctor.

Dr. Nadler holds active memberships in 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. He is also a 2015 graduate of the FBI Citizens Academy, Philadelphia division.

What to Expect When YOu Schedule a Chiropractic Appointment

Your first visit begins with a thorough consultation, a full physical examination, and a detailed review of your symptoms and medical history. From that evaluation, Dr. Nadler builds a treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and goals. No two plans look the same because no two patients present with the same history, activity level, or pain pattern.

Our chiropractic treatments are designed to address musculoskeletal pain by restoring spinal alignment, reducing nerve interference, and supporting soft tissue health. Spinal manipulation and spinal decompression are core modalities of our practice. As patients progress, care typically moves through relief, corrective, and maintenance phases that evolve alongside their care plan. We treat patients dealing with back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, whiplash, headaches, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and sports-related soft tissue injuries. 

Radial & Focused Shockwave Therapy for King of Prussia Patients

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses acoustic energy waves to support the body’s natural healing response around damaged tissue. It isn’t an electrical shock. The treatment is designed to support blood flow and metabolic activity at the treatment site and has been validated by extensive clinical research. Dr. Nadler uses FDA-cleared technology for both radial and focused shockwave, and treatment involves no anesthesia, no scarring, and no downtime.

The two modalities serve different purposes. Radial shockwave disperses energy over a wider, shallower area, making it a treatment option for conditions such as muscle tightness and tendinitis near the surface. Focused shockwave concentrates energy at precise depths, reaching chronic pain sources, calcifications, and deep-seated tissue injuries. Dr. Nadler is certified in both EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology) and focused shockwave therapy.

Conditions commonly addressed with shockwave include plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, patellar tendonitis, and chronic back pain. Patients with active lifestyles often find the absence of recovery downtime a meaningful advantage over surgical or injection-based alternatives.

For most services, no referral is needed to get started. King of Prussia patients can contact our office online or call (610) 467-2227 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nadler.
