Ackerman Chiropractic

Drs. Mike and Justin are fantastic. They are both exceedingly personable and seemingly quite knowledgeable as I’ve seen them only about 5 times since late December but have experienced significant improvement and relief. They’ve accomodated several last-​minute requests for appointments and have been as pleasant in those situations as during regularly scheduled appointments.
I’m very pleased and highly recommend them for Chiropractic needs.

First and foremost, if you are good at your craft then your work speaks for itself, in any profession. You can find great Doctors, Mechanics, Contractors, etc. and you would never steer away from them because when you need it — they are worth their weight in GOLD.
I’ve been a competitive athlete for the last 17 years competing at the Elite level in T&F and Strongman and believe me when the saying, «It’s not the year of the car, but the mileage on the engine» My wrap sheet consists of chronic low back pain secondary to two buldging discs and consistent erector strains from my sport. Chronic impingement and partial labral tear of the shoulder, quadriceps tendonitis and various partially torn ligaments/​tendons. While my lifestyle is chosen and more extreme than others, sidelining injuries are all the same and everyone has them — especially overuse & postural injuries such as tendonitis, patella-​femoral syndromes, low back pain, or knee/​hip/​shoulder pain.
I have a career in Physical Therapy, and I can, hands down say that with my experience with Ackerman Chiropractic (Dr. Justin) is second to none. His skill level with soft tissue management and pain relief on severely acute/​chronic injuries is nothing short of mysticism.
I cannot speak more highly of this practice. From competitive athlete to soccer mom this place can do it all. Personable, ATTENTIVE, and HONEST. Dr. Justin doesn’t settle for average results, he will give you real relief.
I see it everyday — people willing to live with pain because they have been doing just that for so long but it’s so simple to diagnose the problems when skill is involved.
Go to Ackerman Chiropractic, you will not be sorry. True blue through and through and excellent chiropractic care.

I have been seeing Dr Mike for awhile now and he has done more for me then any dr I went to for not only my back but for my migraines and sinuses too. I Have been to Dr Justin for my shoulder and currently being treated for my elbow. I recommend these two Drs to everyone not only are they good at what they do but they are the nicest and most accommodating guys I know.

I have suffered from shoulder pain for quite sometime. My job causes a lot of repetition and overuse in my shoulder. One day while getting a massage, the masseuse suggested I see a chiropractor to help me out. My shoulder was in such bad shape she asked me if I was a baseball pitcher! Yeah, I’m not!
I started to see a chriropractor, who shall remain nameless, who was close to my home. I told him my issues with my shoulder and he said I needed to see him twice a week. I followed doctors orders and went twice a week. It felt like he didn’t seemed focused on my problem area, as he would crack my lower back or reset my hips, or do anything else other than my shoulder area. I asked him if there was anything I should do at home, and he said no just keep seeing him. After a few months, I stopped going. I felt like I was being scammed. I gave months of my time and my money and got no results.
About a year later a friend of mine suggested I try Ackerman Chiropractic. I was still under the impression Chiropractors were a scam, but I really valued my friends opinion as he is a body/​strength builder and a student of physical therapy. I made my appointment with Dr. Justin and couldn’t believe the 180 from my old chiropractor.
First of all, the forms I had to fill out asked questions I was never asked by my older chiropractor such as location of pain, type of pain, etc. After our consultation Dr. Justin began his work. I received two rounds of stim, one steady and one that pulsed. He applied heat, ice, and used a technique I had never even heard of call Graston. Graston was a god send! It broke up a lot of scar tissue that I never knew I had. Then he also did work with his hands, applying pressure to my problem area and did some stretching too. Lastly he applied rock tape to help with my posture until I returned back for another treatment.
When all was said and done I got treatment for almost an hour, unlike the 15 – 20 min I would receive from my old chiropractor. Dr. Justin then wrote down stretches for me to do at home! This was exactly what I asked my previous doctor about, and Dr. Justin just did it! I was so impressed. He then explained to me his goal was for me to come twice a week, then once a week, then only as needed. It felt so amazing knowing that he wasn’t
interested in my money, but to make me feel better!
After about two months I was good to go! I still continue to see Dr. Justin a few times year for maintenance, but overall I feel a million times better. I even bought a foam roller (Dr. Justin recommended) for home use when I feel a little flair up in my shoulder.
My wife and mother have also seen Dr. Justin, both with wonderful results. My wife broke her ankle, and Justin helped her with her rehab. And my mom had paralyzing pain in her lower back and Justin snapped her right back into place.
Overall, I can’t say enough good things about this place. If you are skeptical
of chiropractors I strongly suggest you try Ackerman! Dr. Justin is a genuinely great guy and a total professional.

Dr. Michael Ackerman is fantastic! He has a great sense of humor and really knows what he is doing. He has helped tremendously with my pain management.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Michael Ackerman for over 20 years. That, in itself, should tell you something about the professionalism and efficacy of the treatments I’ve received there. If you are having back, neck, hip, or other issues, don’t endure any more pain and discomfort. Call or go online and make an appointment to see Dr. Michael or Dr. Justin. They will help you.

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Justin for very different reasons, but have both had great results.
I am a powerlifter. I’m constantly battling issues in my posterior chain. So I need a chiropractor that can keep me on the platform and pushing heavy numbers. Dr. Justin does more than just adjustments — he does ART, a must have for the athlete, as well as Graston. I’m happy to say that not long after starting at Ackerman Chiropractic I hit a new PR in my squat!
My wife, on the other hand, recently had a arthroscopic procedure performed on her hip. Her recovery was slower and more painful than expected — and a multi-​month (and obnoxiously expensive) course of physical therapy from UPenn did little to speed things along. She has always been wary of chiropractic; after some initial hesitation, she started seeing Dr. Justin for mobility and rehab work. Her results have been fantastic — she rarely complains about hip pain and has already successfully run a 5K post-​surgery.
