DeFabio Chiropractic & Sports Rehab: Reviews
Fantastic experience: ★★★★★ A True Life-Changer! For six long years, I was convinced that the quality of life I once knew was gone forever. Chronic pain had become my constant companion. In every visit to their office, you're greeted by a warm and friendly staff who make you feel immediately at ease. Their professionalism and genuine care set the tone for everything that follows. Dr. Don de Fabio and Dr. C.J. de Fabio took the time to listen, truly understand my history, and conduct a thorough examination. Their approach wasn't just about temporary relief; it was about identifying the root cause of my issues and developing a comprehensive plan tailored specifically for me. Through their expert adjustments, guidance on at-home exercises, they have systematically given me back my life. The pain I lived with daily has significantly diminished. The doctors and staff are healers who genuinely care about their patients' well-being. They've earned every single one of these five stars and my eternal gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks Carl! Does that mean we can say we have Eternal 5 Stars? lol......
Fantastic experience: Kind, professional and caring staff. Knowledgeable doctors that listen to you and adjust you accordingly. Up to date with all the latest technology. Helped me tremendously with foot and lower back pain, and posture. Their slogan is true, there is a “DeFabio difference.” I would highly recommend this practice.
Vito, appreciate you taking the time to share your story and recognize there is a "DeFabio Difference. "
Fantastic experience: The morning of my estimated due date (pregnancy), I "tweaked" my back. As the day went on the spasms in my back got so painful I couldn't move without tears. Luckily, I was able to make a last minute appointment to come in. I met with Dr. CJ DeFabio who assessed and treated me with gentle care and consideration for my pain as well as my pregnancy. I arrived to my appointment barely able to move, scared, and feeling totally helpless and left the appointment feeling reassured, hopeful, and able to move with much more ease and less pain. I am so glad to have made the call to the office and even more grateful for the care provided.
Thank you for making the call and letting us help you get ready for your delivery! :)
Fantastic experience: I have been suffering on and off with back issues and was hesitant to go anywhere after a bad experience. I can’t say how impressed I am with this practice. They listened to my concerns and approached me with a conservative regiment of treatment. The staff is experienced and understand the issues and proper treatment. Dr CJ is smart, kind and most importantly, listens to my concerns. They not only help to address the problems but focus on rehabilitation and strength training. This practice is the real deal for anyone suffering with pain.
Real deal, WOW. Thanks for the insightful post. We're glad you found us too! Peace.
Fantastic experience: 4th or 5th chiropractor I've seen, every chiropractor I've been to in the past left me feeling unadjusted and sometimes worse than I was. Defabio will be the last chiropractor I will ever need. I leave Defabios feeling positive, adjusted, and informed. My past experiences with other chiropractors would leave me aching and hurting after some visits. DR. DeFabio is thorough and open to feedback. I've told my whole family about him and that his practice is the last one they will ever need. I've had back issues for 20yrs now, and pain was a part of my life. Dr Defabio did so many different techniques to help my back and hips, way beyond anything any other chiropractor tried in the past. 1st Dr to notice my legs where not even. He did his magic and brought my legs to about as even as it could get, then measured me for shoe inserts to balance me out. I can now stand and walk for long periods of time with little to no pain at all. Before Dr. Defabio, I couldn't stand more than 5min without serious pain somewhere in my body. I've never felt so positive about my back issues like I do now. Excellent Dr and staff.
J, thanks for the shout out! Glad, and honored, to be "the last Chiropractic Doctor you will ever need." :)
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased to leave a 5-star review for both Dr. Defabio. Five sessions ago, when I just had started, I thought my left shoulder pain was never going to go away. Today, I can assure you that 85 % of that pain is gone and my mobility is back. I don't only want to highlight the professional service but also the quality of people who work in the office starting from the front desk to the assistant and the chiropractors. I can only thank you all for your professionalism!
Marisel, Thank you! It's traditional customer service with a new age slant.....The DeFabio Difference!
Fantastic experience: I not only get great chiropractic adjustments here, I've been doing personal training, too, to rebuild muscle and strength. I've made great progress in a couple of months. I recommend Dr. DeFabio and his staff highly!
Thanks Linda! You are a Rock Star with your training. Real proud of you.
Fantastic experience: Solved a 2 month problem in 2 sessions… DeFabio is nothing less than the truth!
Dr. Truth to my friends. Peace.
Fantastic experience: Professional and skilled I was looking for an intuitive and full service chiropractor several years ago and my GP recommended Dr DeFabio Sports and Rehab. He’s long supported the community with his services in the way of sponsorship for 5K’s and ergonomic movement. He is an educator through and through; offering space to inspiring chiropractors, guiding them to go on in their journeys. Dr. DeFabio has given care to my entire family for inflammation, joint pain, neck, back, hip and arm pain, headaches, gut health, Nutritional education/ in the way of vitamin & supplements, x-ray’s for spine injuries or general wellness support, sports nutrition and physical therapy for me, my husband, and three sporty boys. And now Dr. Defabio has his son, who joined the practice and brings double the expertise and care with every visit. We are an active family, who appreciates preventative and accurate assessments; whether receiving physical therapy, stem treatment, Winback Therapy for surgery recovery, shoe assessments for myself or my three boys. Dr Defabio even has a U-Tube Channel that he and his lovely wife, Jill host together bringing nutrition and body news that is inspiring & timely. They address everything from plantar fasciitis to eating clean. It’s a cooking show you don’t want to miss! He and the team use a variety of techniques to address your specific needs; heat, cold, quiet wellness room with tranquil music, Therabands, balls, weights, vibration, and deep tissue work, to name a few. If you are experiencing, inflammation, an injury, or just want to improve your physical health, do not hesitate to make an appointment with Dr DeFabio! He can change your life for the better in just one meeting!
Thanks Carmen! That is why we call it the DeFabio Difference......a full service NATURAL healthcare facility with advanced modalities. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Dr Defabio and staff for help with an issue I had. Very professional , caring and friendly !
Cool. Appreciate the shout out, thanks for letting us take care or your needs.
Fantastic experience: Had hip pain and plantar fasciitis. They are helping me to slide into my sixty's with less pain. Everybody is so professional I love going there and seeing the whole team working so good together .#thanks agian!!!
Yes, coming to our office is investing in your health to stay active. Thanks for recognizing the benefit of our multimodal approach to health and wellness. As for plantar fasciitis, well, they call me the other foot doctor! Thanks again, Dr. D.
Fantastic experience: The kindest and most caring doctors! The facility is state of the art. They also sell supplements and show educational videos. The receptionist is so sweet and accommodating. I’ve been to chiropractors who spend 2 minutes doing the same adjustments every visit or insist you commit and pay for 3 months in advance. Here, Defabio chiropractic gives each patient the time and attention they deserve to get their needs met.
Judy, thanks for the shout out! We appreicate you sharing your insights.
Fantastic experience: The best service
Thanks Jozef! We are all about serving our patients so they can get their best results. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Defabio & the team has helped me tremendously this past year. As an athlete for Rutgers and the Puerto Rico Olympic team, I can’t thank them enough for all the work they have been doing for me. Excited for the season this year!
Thanks Courteney, we are jazzed for a great season, too! It’s all Team Courteney here.
Fantastic experience: It's a great place to look for professional help and get well. Everyone is awesome.
AWESOME patients make for an awesome practice! Thank you. :)
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, professional staff! Offering many practices for maintaining healthy posture and over all wellness. Excellent quality of vitamins and supplements available as well. Don’t think twice, for chiropractic + care give them a call.
Thanks Arlene for the great review. We really appreciate your time and support of "Chiropractic+ Care!"
Fantastic experience: I love DeFabio Chiropractic & Sports Rehab!!! Dr. DeFabio, Dr. Mike and Dr. Slade are all amazing!!!! I had a horrible car accident back in 2017 and they were able to treat my old injuries with the upmost care. They assessed, listened, and provided valuable feedback to ensure a lifetime of recovery. Since treating with DeFabio I am able to prepare my body for workouts and restful sleeps during the night. This family owned practice has brought back patient care to their clients by treating the whole person from diet, exercise and treatment all in 1 visit. I am really grateful I found them because it took me 3 chiropractic offices to get it right. I guess 3 is a charm after all. P.S. Office staff continues to show empathy towards every patient no matter how many questions you ask. They are flexible, organized and willing to work with you no matter how busy your schedule can get. -Gloria
Gloria, thanks for allowing us to journey with you in restoring and maintaining your optimal physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. We appreciate the 5 Star review, too. :-)
Fantastic experience: The BEST!!!! Dr DeFabio is not only knowledgeable and caring but he connected to my teenage son in a way no other doctor did! He walk into the office in pain and cranky, he left there smiling, reading the brochure about anti inflammatory foods and changing his phone’s Lock Screen to a purple picture as the Dr suggested to use that color as a reminder for him to fix his posture. I’m so thankful and happy we went to Dr DeFabio to treat my son’s back pain as he did a complete análisis of his body and previous knee injuries and gave as very clear feedback and an easy and efficient plan to follow.
Carolina, thank you for trusting us in treating your son. We appreciate your confidence and are THRILLED to hear he is ready to take charge of his health and fitness. BTW, that is a great idea about the lock screen, I will be sharing that for sure! Thanks for the kind words, too.
Fantastic experience: Dr DeFabio is a miracle worker! My daughter is a college athlete who went from a completely immobile injured ankle and foot in a boot and wheelchair, to weight bearing walking with light support of crutches in less than 24 hours and just 2 treatments! Dr D’s knowledge, treatment approach and experience surpass all others! Dr Mike and Dr Slade have clearly learned so much working side by side this master!! Thank you Dr D! And Dr Slade and Dr Mike! DeFabio Spine and Sports…The best in the Biz!
Thanks Brigdet! Getting athletes back in the game is what we love to do! Especially sprained ankles, our protocol for recovery is exceptionally effective.
Fantastic experience: Extremely through exam, left nothing to question. Explained in detail what was going on with my back and how they plan to adjust and then strengthen to correct the problem. Great stretching and very communicative adjustment asking for feedback which is very important to me. Very friendly office everyone was helpful and pleasant.
Yes, it is essential that our patient's are clear on what we do, how we do it and the process: and it all starts with a welcoming environment. Thanks for your support.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at DeFabio Chiropractic & Sports Rehab for 33+ years! I came to them when I was pregnant with our first child. Since then all three of our children grown up there! When our son was in the Air Force and knew he was coming home, he made sure I made an appointment for him. Over the years I have injuries from sports and falls. The team has always repaired my injuries, all without medication or surgery! They keep moving, help me with my supplements and offer sound nutritional advice! The entire staff is kind, friendly, compassionate, professional, and up to date on all of the latest technology. They combine tried and true chiropractic methods with the latest in rehab techniques.
Thanks Tracy, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your (and your family's) journey.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mike, Dr. Slade and the entire staff is amazing! You never walk out of the office in pain! They give the most detailed plain of treatment. Best chiropractors out there!

Fantastic experience: I am benefiting from the multiple treatments to take care of my stiffness and pains- I appreciate the professional and light hearted approach.
Yes, Having fun is part of the healing process. Thanks for your support.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Defabio was very through and professional during the examination and explained everything very clearly! After my visit I felt relief from my symptom of back issue. I highly recommend his practice and his staff was just as nice and professional as well!
Robert, well said. Thank you for your DeFabio Difference story.
Fantastic experience: Each time I have a treatment for my foot, I feel better and better. Additionally, I have more flexibility as a result of back and leg adjustments. Each of the chiropractic physicians are commendable. Thank you.
Thanks Pat! That is why we are called "The Other Foot Doctors." :)
Fantastic experience: The entire staff is pleasant and kind. They are very professional and the adjustments given by the doctors are carefully done but very effective.
Excellent point Marie, our treatments are careful and effective. Enough said. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: The team is top notch and the quality of care is excellent. In only a few weeks here I have made more strides than I did in months at my prior chiropractor. I can’t recommend them enough.
Thanks Connor! Appreciate you pointing out we are different than many other Chiropractic offices.
Fantastic experience: So much more than a chiropractor, DeFabio’s office is a true wellness center. The experienced and vastly educated staff take a complete approach, listening to your needs and discussing all areas that might be the cause of any discomfort. Dr DeFabio and his staff have been helping my family for over 25 years! Recently, my son has been going for rehab and pt for his ankle. The progress and advancement each and every time is amazing! Thank you!
Anthony, great insight, "So much more than a Chiropractor" is the DeFabio Difference, thanks. Looking forward to the next 25 years!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Doctor Defabio for about a month now for treatment of my left shoulder. I just a short time I have noticed considerable improvement . Their treatment has been very helpful.
Thanks Michael! Keep up the good work and the improvement will continue.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Dr. Mike and Dr. Slade for their time and attention. I was at the ER recently with intense back pain. I could barely walk. I called the office and they got me right in. After several weeks of treatment and exercises I am now, not only, able to walk upright but can even go back to the gym. I would highly recommend anyone with pain give them a call. Thanks Big Tone
Thanks for recognizing we made the time for your acute situation. That's how we roll. Appreciate the kind words.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been treated by Dr. DeFabio and his team for the past two years. As a marathon runner it is critical to stay loose/mobile and to address any tweaks before they become bigger issues. This teams is fantastic!
Our job is to keep you running! Thanks for sharing your recovery services story.
Fantastic experience: The word I would use is 'gratitude' for this excellent team of health care professionals! Their chiropractic and proper whole body care has been keeping me mobile and healthy for a number of years!!
Gratitude. Wow. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Defabio and his staff are caring people and all make you feel comfortable and welcome you in a friendly way. They treat you as if you are old life long friends. They all show a genuine concern for your well being. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their services
Wonderful insight into the "vibe" of our office. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend coming here enough! The staff is cohesive, friendly, personable, and welcoming. I’ve come at times in severe pain and then other times just for maintenance and have been treated consistently with utmost respect and reassurance. The office embodies full spectrum healing and really looks at your lifestyle as a whole and offers recommendations, body support, and personal care throughout the whole process. They are nurturing and truly the most informed team around. Dr. DeFabio has built a strong team of kind and intelligent people. I trust them and I look forward to seeing them (even if I’m in a bunch of pain). If you live in the area, it’s a no brainer. I never write reviews but I often look at them in my own research, so if you’re looking for new care, definitely recommend!
Thanks Cassie, appreciate you taking the time to write a review and share your experience. It's the DeFabio Difference :).
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Defabio Chiropractic. The doctors are very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. They individualize each session based on the client's session that particular day, and various modalities for treatment. The office staff is also very welcoming and helpful.
Thanks for the shout out and recognizing the individualized care we offer. Great to have you as part of Team DeFabio. :)
Fantastic experience: This place is absolutely awesome! Great staff, that really take their time and effort into each patient! Great receptionist in Vanessa, makes it super convenient to make an appointment with my busy schedule. Dr. Slade and Dr. Mike show true professionalism and help me recover from my workouts and past injuries. My body feels much better and I’m able to workout like I used too years ago. Dr. DeFabio has put together a great place and atmosphere to make each visit very enjoyable! Highly recommend!
Thanks for recognizing the entire Team as well as our commitment to making every visit exceptional. We appreciate your time in sharing your story with others.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Dr. D, Dr. Slade and Dr. Mike! You got my back working again! I didn't think I'd be able to play Paddle again after that last horrible "what-did-I-do-to-it?" last season. I'm playing again this season and so far, no pain at all. It's magic!! Thanks to Vanessa for the flexibility in scheduling and changing my appointments as things came up. You all are the best!!
We simply are not your mother's chiropractor! Although after 35 years, we actually could be :-). Thanks for your support over the years.
Fantastic experience: My family has been patients in this facility for many years. I have to say the current staff is the best yet! Whether it is the many hockey injuries or back pain, we always walk away better than we came into the office. They are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The billing dept couldn't be more helpful when my insurance changed. They also do so much for the community. Who could ask for more?
More? You want more? Okay, I will make you a You Tube video lol!
Fantastic experience: The doctors are very caring and interested in each and every patient's life and happenings. Care is excellent!
Yes, what happens in "life" affects your health and we want to address all factors of getting better. Appreciate the kind words.

Fantastic experience: DeFabio Chiropractic is amazing! I’ve had such a great experience there, not only because the doctors have massively improved my lower back troubles, but because all the staff and doctors are great people. I’ve had so many unforgettable conversations with all the people who work there. There’s never a dull moment and I’m always excited to see everyone there. All the staff and doctors are super friendly, professional, and exemplary at what they do! This place makes me excited about going to see a chiropractor.
Thanks Matt! It is like the TV show Cheers, we're excited to see you, and everyone knows your name :)
Fantastic experience: Love the staff. Great environment and awesome experience!
Thanks! We do our best to provide top notch customer service! :)
Fantastic experience: Caring staff Always made to feel welcome. Personal interest in my well being.
Of course! You are our poster girl of wellness!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the best experience!!! Not to mention, the staff is absolutely amazing!
An amazing review from an AMAZING patient! Thanks. :)
Fantastic experience: Was recommended by a friend at the gym to visit Defabio for acupuncture with Dr Amanda. Had a great experience and my wife went as well. We both visit regularly for chiro & physical therapy when needed. Dr Mike and Dr Slade are top notch.
Thank you so much! It helps when we also have top notch patients.
Negative experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.
Peg, that's why are called the other foot doctor! And yes, the Winback TECAR is fantastic. Real proud of you. Dr. D.
Fantastic experience: 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!
Wow, "best in the business" are tough shoes to fill, but we are up to it! Thanks for recognizing our patient centered culture that gets results. See you next week for sure!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Great news! Glad you had such an excellent response to Winback, an excellent modality.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Don and his two associates Dr. Mike and Dr. Slade are an amazing team. If you need someone to help you through an injury or issue, these are the guys to go to.
Nice to know we are the "Go To Guys" for your health! Appreciate the review.
Fantastic experience: Due to the recent gas price hike, which left me bent ngl since I do have to travel a bit. I wouldve liked to make it here on the reg. But when I do get a chance to make it up there, the team does a great job in getting you straightened up and will definitely Build your Back Better for your everyday activities.
Building Back Better, that could be our next tag line! Thanks for the post.
Fantastic experience: The amazing people at DeFabio Chiropractic made my first experience working with a chiropractor the best ever. From day 1, they welcome you in. Dr. Mike, Slade, and DeFabio are all the best, plus the amazing receptionist staff. Looking forward to going back soon.
Amazing patients find amazing doctors! Thanks Owen!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Dr. DeFabio and the team for a bit over 6 months now, and I must say it has been life changing. Each member of the team makes me feel so welcome and heard about my pain and they *genuinely* want you to feel better and will make sure you don’t leave until you do!! Dr. Mike has been helping me with a lower back and hip issue the last 6 weeks and each time I leave I think about how grateful I am that I found this place. He listens to me about what is causing the pain, what I’ve tried, and what I think helps and we adjust each session around the base we found that works for me. Vanessa at the front has a smile every single time I come in and is a pleasure whenever I need to adjust or change an appointment. Jill has been wonderful as well and has such a lovely, calming presence. I cannot recommend DeFabio Chiropractic enough and will be a patient here for years to come!!!
That's the DeFabio Difference, thanks for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thanks for your support and referrals, that is the highest compliment you can pay us. Welcome to the Team!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to DeFabio Chiropractic for 2 1/2 months and I started to feel so much better after about 4 visits. The doctors are very knowledgeable and customer service is top notch. Everyone makes you welcome and comfortable.
Thanks for sharing your story! It's our pleasure to have you as part of Team DeFabio. Dr. D.
Fantastic experience: Dr. D is absolutely one of best in the business. He is very detailed oriented, very knowledgeable, but most of all compassionate about his patients. He provided very thorough and detailed approach to my lower back pain which Dr. Mike has been able to help me through over the past 2 months. Dr. Mike has been very beneficial towards my recovery as well as relief with the pain going down my legs and into my feet also very detailed and compassionate. My back pain continues to get better every week and that is a true testament to DeFabio Chiropractic and how well they "all" work together! The staff is amazing and very pleasant and makes your visit very comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Slade has also been a great resource when Dr. Mike was not available. They together work as a great team and it's very comforting knowing you are in great hands with everyone there. Absolutely top notch facility!
Thanks for defining the DeFabio Difference so clearly. Detailed oriented, focused on our patients in a team approach for depth of care and compassionate about YOU getting the results YOU want. Thanks again. :)
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Defabio for over 20 years now. He is kind, compassionate, patient, and very knowledgeable about the human body. He always goes out of his way to fit me into his schedule, no matter how busy his day is. He has helped me through many aches and pains and has top notch, state of the art “tools” at his disposal to help you feel better. His new doctors are fabulous as well! You won’t find a more caring chiropractic practice in the area!
Many thanks for the kind words. Let's plan on another 20 years! :)
Fantastic experience: Great experience with super attentive team ...
Thanks we're all Team Rich!
Fantastic experience: I visited Dr. De Fabio for shingles nerve pain. I didn't think I would ever get relief! After a couple of visits with Dr. D, I was so much better! He and his staff are very compassionate and caring. I feel like part of the family! I highly recommend De Fabio Chiropractic for your health, wellness and preventative care.
Shingles pain can be a real bear, glad you were helped so quickly! Thanks for sharing. Dr. D.
Fantastic experience: I recently attended a Continuing Education Seminar in which Dr. DeFabio was the speaker. It was extremely educational, dynamic and interactive. His knowledge and expertise is amazing and it was a definite take it to work with you Monday seminar! Strongly recommend attending a seminar if you are a Chiropractor or if you are a patient around the Jersey area look him up! Either way you will not be sorry you did! Loved it!
Jen, thanks for taking the time to share your experience! Hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I have seen about 15 orthopedists, podiatrists, osteopaths and physical therapists altogether and Dr DeFabio is the only person who helped me. I live near Washington DC but drove up to see him after finding his YouTube videos. I developed severe pain in both shins, after one or two shifts at work where I was standing for 13 hours. The pain was in the lower inside area of my shins, not typical shin splints, and I was unable to work for about 4 months. First an MRI was done by an orthopedist which showed a stress reaction, which is like a precursor to a stress fracture, in both legs. The injury healed somewhat with rest but I quickly reinjured it with another double shift. I was literally unable to walk for about 3 months, due to this excruciating pain that had no explanation. I was under the impression I had a stress fracture, but it did not appear to be healing. Anyways after a second MRI that was normal (no stress fracture) and 3 different orthopedic surgeons who told me “there’s nothing wrong with you, rest for two weeks and go back to work” I was still in excruciating pain in my lower shins and had no real explanation why. I finally ended up seeing Dr DeFabio and he did some treatments to my legs, adjustments, and gave me exercises which actually worked. He listened to me and spent time with me to explain the process of rebuilding strength and helping me to understand what was wrong with me. He also gave me shoe advice. All of these things have allowed me to go back to work. For the first time I was able to begin to live a normal life and heal my legs. Thank you so much Dr. DeFabio, without you I wouldn’t be able to walk or to work!!
Thank you for making the effort to find us an to get in to the office. Your commitment made a difference, too. :)

Fantastic experience: Acupuncturist Amanda Occhipinti is amazing! She has the unique ability as a healthcare practioner to balance compassion and firmness in the care of her patients. I have been seeing her since she began her practice, and she has successfully treated me for a variety of ailments including high blood pressure, digestive issues, a shoulder injury , and hip pain. She recenlty detected an infection I had for several weeks that went untreated. Her professionalism, care, firmness and encouragement in having me seek immediate medical treatment saved me from a potentially very serious situation-thank you Amanda!

Fantastic experience: I had been seeing a chiropractor who was treating my running pain as muscle stiffness. I was not improving but kept getting worse. I was referred to Dr. DeFabio through Drew University's AD. On my first visit Dr. DeFabio discovered that I was not suffering from stiff muscles but that I had a degenerated L5 disk. That changed the treatment and the results. Dr. D got me to the place where I could run again and has kept me in good health for many years. I recently moved to Pennsylvania and realize even more the value of Dr. DeFabio and his staff. I'm still trying to find a chiropractor who is half as good as he is. He and his staff are gems.
