Jordanna, 30 - Pregnancy Related Back Pain
I have dealt with back pain my entire adult life due to Degenerative Disc Disease. So when I found out I was pregnant, I was scared to think about what that was going to mean for my back pain. After a few doctor’s appointments it was recommended to me that I visit a chiropractor to keep me properly aligned. As I researched for a chiropractor that would work with me, I discovered that Jason Cardinali at the ProActive Spine Center is certified in the Webster technique of pregnancy chiropractic care, so I made my first appointment. Through weekly treatments, not only have my hips and back been realigned, but my back pain was also reduced to levels even less severe than before my pregnancy, and I experienced fewer back flare ups than before also. I get really bad sciatic nerve pain which my chiropractor has been able to help me work out and also taught me exercises I can do to help manage them at home. My doctor also told me that my baby has been in a prefect delivery position which she feels has been a helpful result of my chiropractic care. One thing I very much appreciated, is how thorough he is in explanation of why your having this pain, location of pain, and how it can be managed. He uses diagrams, computer images, and skeletal props to better show you your condition and what he will be doing to help. So you will also find yourself well educated. I highly recommend the ProActive Spine Center to anyone with back pain problems and especially prenatal care. I plan to continue using their chiropractic services even after my pregnancy to help manage my back pain issues.
C.H. - Chronic Back Pain
After seeing Dr. Cardinali for just a few months he was able to relieve a good portion of my back pain. He has the knowledge and techniques I was looking for. My previous doctors were not able to assist me in the fashion Dr. Cardinali was. Not only did he help my health to improve through adjustments, he also assisted in directing me in nutrition as well as exercise. I strongly recommend Dr. Cardinali for your best health and well being.

My appointment with Dr. Cardinali was an extremely valuable, educational, and worthwhile experience! My pain was relieved almost immediately after the appointment, and my body continues to feel much more balanced, healthy, and correctly aligned.
Dr. Cardinali effectively addresses and explains the root cause of the issue, resulting in a successful and thorough correction. Not only did Dr. Cardinali exceed my chiropractic expectations, but he also incorporated practices of massage therapy and physical therapy into the visit, resulting in a very complete and excellent evaluation. His technique is very thorough, precise, and effective, yet gentle,relaxing, and relieving.
I love how Dr. Cardinali dedicates quality care into each individual patient, building relationships with them and helping them to feel valued and cared for. My experience with Dr. Cardinali was exceedingly invaluable and made a lasting impact on my views of chiropractic care. It is obvious that Dr. Cardinali is very passionate about, knowledgeable about, and excellent in chiropractic care! I can't wait for my next appointment with Dr. Cardinali!"
P.L. - Fitness, Injury Rehabilitation, and Nutrition
Although I have generally led an active lifestyle, bicycling and running, I was never truly physically fit from an overall perspective. Most of the last 20 years were spent sitting at a desk or traveling. After an especially long bike ride the previous year (400 miles in a week), I developed severe hip and knee pain. This was diagnosed as trochanteric bursitis by the orthopedic surgeon and I received a steroid injection, which relieved the hip pain almost instantly. He recommended various stretching exercises before doing any type of physical activity.
With retirement less than a month away, I decided to hold off on any intense activity beyond stretching and sought the help of a personal trainer at Pennbriar, which led me to Jason Cardinali. We talked by phone and discussed my history and goals: relieve the hip and knee pain and reduce my 5k race time.
We got to work right away meeting weekly for ½ hour sessions. My lack of overall strength was immediately apparent, so Jason recommended some basic weight training on the fitness machines and using lighter weight dumb bells. He worked out a program to strengthen my upper body and core as well as my legs. Within 4-5 weeks, all hip and knee pain was relieved, so my first goal had been reached.
We also discussed nutrition as it relates to fitness and after keeping a diet diary for a week, Dr. Cardinali made some very helpful suggestions which I put into place immediately.
We then focused on the second goal of running faster to reduce my 5k time. Each week Dr. Cardinali worked out a running plan which we executed together on the track at Pennbriar. We practiced intervals which grew progressively harder and faster each week. This interval training helped me not only with running, but also with bicycling as my recovery time after biking up a hill or running a fast pace was remarkably faster. The final session was a test to determine whether my second goal would be met. After planning the number of laps around the track to reach 3.1 miles and the appropriate pace to maintain throughout, together we successfully reached my goal of reducing my 5k race time to the desired end point!
Dr. Cardinali was my therapist, nutrition/health counselor, and coach and truly had a very positive effect on my health and overall fitness. In fact, through his encouragement and coaching, I feel better than I ever have and am now able to do weight training and other activities that I never thought possible!
Jason Cardinali’s credentials and certifications as chiropractor, nutritionist, and personal trainer speak for themselves. They also provide him with the ability to take a more holistic approach when working with and treating patients and clients. I would highly recommend Dr. Cardinali whether for treatment of injuries, nutrition counseling, fitness training, or reaching your desired fitness goals!
