Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on spinal health, using manual adjustments to correct misalignments and alleviate nerve pressure. This restores proper nervous system function, reducing pain and enhancing mobility for conditions like back pain, headaches, and joint issues. Patients benefit from improved circulation and faster healing through targeted, non-invasive techniques tailored to their specific needs.
Winback TECAR Therapy
Winback TECAR Therapy uses high-frequency energy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Ideal for chronic pain, sports injuries, and arthritis, this non-invasive treatment improves mobility and function by stimulating cellular regeneration. Patients experience rapid relief and enhanced recovery without downtime.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression gently separates vertebrae to relieve pressure on discs and nerves, treating herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain. This method encourages nutrient flow to damaged discs, promoting healing and long-term pain relief without surgery, medications, or injections.
Nutrition Consultations
Our nutrition consultations provide personalized anti-inflammatory diet plans to address chronic conditions like psoriasis, arthritis, and digestive issues. By eliminating inflammatory foods and optimizing nutrient intake, patients achieve improved energy levels, reduced pain, and better overall health through science-based nutritional strategies.
Corrective Exercise
Certified corrective exercise programs rebuild strength, flexibility, and movement efficiency. Designed by NASM-certified specialists, these exercises target muscular imbalances and injuries, enhancing performance and preventing re-injury through tailored routines that support active, pain-free living.

I have a worst experience from this practice. Doctors are very knowledgeable and professional. I am talking about the manager Vanessa Lynch. I had a car accident last year and had been recommended by my primary doctor to get a treatment on this facility. On the front desk Jill, Tammy and Vanessa had not explained to me my payment plan at all. As a matter of fact after doctor Mike provided me a full treatment, they started to sent me a bill one after another.
They had not explained to me my EOB for each bill, were rude to me, hanged up the phone on me. The manager Vanessa Lynch kicked me out of facility and had not let me talk to the doctor when I came there. What is this? And they consider to be professionals? I would not recommend to anybody to go there.

Thirty years ago I had a serious car accident. The visible injuries healed but as I aged the scar tissue and arthritis became debilitating. The pain and weakness in my lower leg and ankle negatively hampered my quality of life. Traditional medicine offered medication and surgery. I wanted to limit medication and try to find a treatment that was non invasive and in my mind less traumatic. I was recommended to Dr. Defabio.
His knowledgeable, patient care have given me back my mobility. The introduction of the winback has enhanced my treatment and well being. The staff are wonderful. There is a professional and calming atmosphere from the minute you walk in the door. The Doctors are all very knowledgeable and work in unison to treat and heal. The practice treats the whole body with healthy supplements, food choices and meal preparation. I highly recommend Dr. Defabio and his amazing approach to health and wellness. Thank you.

My left wrist was hurting for many years. About a year ago I fell and pressed on my hand and hurt more. This week I came in and had the Winback treatment. It made so much difference! I got the treatment on Tuesday, and by Wednesday I can held the mug on my left hand without pain! I will be back for more treatments. Thank you Dr. DeFabio.

I've been going to the chiropractor almost my entire life. I can honestly say that Dr. Defabio, Dr. Slade, and Dr. Mike are the best in the business. They are all extremely knowledgeable and take extra care to accommodate all of your needs. From the second you walk in they make you feel right at home. I had a bicep injury that they helped me to heal in no time and now I regularly go back for overall adjustments. Best part of the week!

I am over 50 and will now be running in my 5th marathon thanks to Defabio Chiropratic. The doctors there are always willing to give me ideas to improve my training. They are always willing to give me ideas not only for my muscles, and training, but nutrition as well. Any issues that have come up during training, from over-worked muscles to plantar fasciitis, they have gotten me relief followed by exercises to avoid any injury. I can not express how much they continue to help with my overall health. Thank you for all your expert advice!

If you are looking for a chiropractor, De Fabio Practice is the best place to go, without a doubt. The professionalism of all the staff is admirable. Everyone is super friendly, and they take care of you at all times. Dr De Fabio is very knowledgeable. His evaluation on the first day is very detailed and explains to you precisely what is happening and how to recover from whatever injury or pain you have. Dr Mike has been treating me in the past month, and my upper back/neck improvement has been spectacular.
They take time with each patient, and you will never feel rushed, like in other practices. My husband had his first appointment yesterday, and he is already feeling better! I highly recommend De Fabio practice; you feel well taken care of in a professional and friendly environment.
