Back Pain

Low back pain is the most common reason people walk through our door. Care here starts with finding out exactly why your back hurts, then treating that cause gently.

Neck Pain

Hours at a desk, a phone in one hand and a poor pillow add up. If your neck is stiff, sore or sending pain into a shoulder or arm, we can find out why and treat it gently.

Shoulder Pain

A shoulder that aches at night, catches when you reach overhead or will not let you lift your arm takes a lot out of a day. We treat the shoulder itself and the neck and upper back that feed it.

Sciatica

Pain that starts in the low back or buttock and shoots down the leg is sciatica, and it is one of the conditions patients most often come to us for. The nerve is the messenger. We treat what is irritating it.

Herniated Discs

A disc diagnosis sounds frightening, and many people assume it means injections or surgery. For most disc problems, gentle conservative care is the right first step.

Hip & Knee Pain

Stairs, getting up from a chair, a walk around the block. When the hips or knees hurt, everything that moves you gets harder. Our approach treats the joint and the way you load it.

Arthritis & Joint Pain

Arthritis does not have to mean giving up the things you enjoy. Joints that keep moving hurt less than joints that stiffen, and gentle care can keep you moving.

Auto & Work Injuries

A crash or a workplace injury can leave pain that shows up days later and lingers for months if it is not treated properly. We examine carefully, document thoroughly and treat gently.

Dr. Petrilak explaining spinal mechanics to a patient

Sports Injuries

One Approach

Diagnosis first, then gentle care

Whatever brings you in, the visit starts the same way: a conversation and a careful exam to find the real cause. Dr. Petrilak then treats it with low-force Activator adjusting, StemWave regenerative therapy where tissue needs help healing, or both. No cracking, no injections, no forced long-term plan.

Not sure your problem is on this list? Carpal tunnel, TMJ and jaw pain, plantar fasciitis and many other complaints respond to the same approach. Call us and ask.

Real, verified reviews from patients across the Lehigh Valley.

★★★★★

"I came in with numbness and tingling in my left arm and leg, plus lower back pain. After a month of visits my pain is gone in most areas and minimal in the rest. I can move freely again. Dr. Allan is patient, listens, and explains everything he does during adjustments. I highly recommend going here."

"I came to Cedar Crest with extreme sciatica nerve pain. After consultation and diagnosing the issue we started adjustment treatments, and I am slowly feeling relief. I would recommend anyone else suffering to come here. The staff at the counter are also very friendly and polite."
