Chiropractic Neurology is an exclusive sub-specialty within chiropractic. A rigorous three years of additional training and Board examination in the functions of the brain and nervous system (similar to those which a medical neurologist undergoes) better enable us to diagnosis and treat many conditions such as head pain, migraine, cluster headaches, Bells Palsy, neurologic disorders such as tingling and numbness in the arms and legs.

The Chiropractic educational community recognized the need for expanding its specialized training and in 1979 initiated a three-year post-doctoral course in Clinical Neurology. Dr. Saracino was one of the first five Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologists in Pennsylvania and is currently certified Diplomat of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board.

Chiropractic neurological treatments include: exercise rehabilitation (on premise), stretching, nutritional counseling, massage, physical therapy and spinal decompression. The focus on muscles, ligaments and tendons to rebalance the nervous system allows for fewer spinal manipulations than those used by regular doctors of chiropractic.
