Meet our Friendly Staff...

Dr. Greg Kotlarczyk, N.M.T., D.C.

Plagued and blessed by his own injuries, Dr. Kotlarczyk's passion is to bring alternative healthcare methods together for one purpose... the patient.

The purpose is to create a safer, more affective approach to Chiropractic Medicine.

"The body is the most important machine we will ever own. Simple yet complex, it needs to be taken care of. Like anything else, the better you take care of it...the longer it will last."

Dr. Snyder specializes in identifying and correcting problems associated with posture and movement.

In addition, Dr. Snyder holds a Master’s degree in Sport Health Science with an emphasis on Sport Injury Management; this includes extensive training in the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. He incorporates this training into a concept of structure and function, treating muscle imbalances and the kinetic chain while utilizing various methods of rehabilitation.

Dr. Snyder strives to identify what is causing the patients particular problems to occur and which muscles or actions are involved. He emphasizes muscle imbalance, core stabilization, balance training, coordination and movement, and power. This aids in retraining patterns in the brain through proprioceptive rehabilitation, allowing the patient and/or athlete to achieve optimal performance. A combination of adjustments, stretching, strengthening, and movement modifications are utilized to help correct the dysfunction.

Dr. Philip is certified by the Council of Extremity Adjusting as a CCEP with post graduate training in adjustment of extremities (shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, feet, and the jaw).
