Testimonials

I have been going to Dr. Petrelli for treatment during the last three years. I felt at this stage a need to have a direct office connection. There chiropractors over the past ten years.

The Petrelli Chiropractic personnel are receptive and open and the location is convenient. Appointment times are flexible and easily adaptable. Chronic lower back pain and additional areas are addressed with each visit and applicable treatment is administered.

During the past couple months I have noticed a difference due to adjustment and heat treatments, coupled with exercise and diet. Thank you Dr. Petrelli!

Dr. Vincent Petrelli has been treating me since 1998. Before that I was convinced I was in line for a hip replacement due to severe hip, leg, and back pain. After 3 weeks of treatment by Dr. Petrelli, I was walking, sitting, and sleeping pain free. I have also been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in all my bone joints. Dr. Petrelli has gone above and beyond to make sure any pain I experience is put "in check" through regular chiropractic care and an exercise program set up just for me. Dr. Petrelli, having been trained in the latest chiropractic techniques has been and still is very important to the success of my overall program and my now "totally enjoyable life." Thank you Dr. Petrelli for your care and concern and for making true chiropractic care believer of me and to your continued success. Very truly yours,

I began my chiropractic care in February this year. I had never experienced chiropractic care before, so I was a little nervous. Dr. Petrelli immediately put me at ease! I have had a desk job for the last 6 years and it has really taken a toll on my back, without me even realizing it. Dr. Petrelli has made adjustments, as well as given me exercises to do & advice to keep my back in shape once he has done the adjustment. I began seeing Dr. Petrelli 3 times a week for the first month or two, then began seeing him only twice a week, and again within the month. By following his advice and doing the exercises, I have really come a long way from where I was. I had pain all in my back, continuously. Now I seldom have back pain and when I do, all I have to do is see Dr. Petrelli. I am able to do so many things that I couldn't do or was scared to do before due to the pain. I have started back exercising with weights and participating in sports again. Everyone in the office is so nice and always willing to help me! Thanks, Dr. Petrelli!

This is a Chiropractic progressive experience. My knee, though slowly seems to be getting better. Continuing rehab and exercise with Doc's knowledge should help me and my knees return to normal.

I came in for a car accident and was treated with good care. Dr. Petrelli helped me get back to my normal day-to-day activities. I've been in therapy since September and I have definitely seen a change. I would recommend his services to anyone who needed chiropractic care or was in a car accident. Thanks Dr. Petrelli!

After 7 years of chronic neck discomfort and pain I came and saw "The Doc." In only a few months I have no pain, I am sleeping better and have full range of motion in my neck, shoulders, and arms. Now I wonder why I waited so long. Thanks a lot.

It was always my belief that chiropractors were not really doctors, but a bunch of quacks just pretending to be doctors, until I became a patient of Dr. Petrelli. Now I know better.

Many thanks to Dr. Petrelli and his staff for the wonderful care given to me in my road to recovery. I will certainly be recommending to my family and friends chiropractic treatment because it really does work.

I have had back pain for 12 years and have tried all kinds of treatment. I've tried massage, drugs, physical therapy, but nothing seems to give me long-term relief. I figured that I'd have to live with the pain for the rest of my life. Then my legs started to hurt and I couldn't walk and had to have my wife help me get my pants on. I went to my doctor who said I would need surgery to fix my pain. Before that my friend told me to try a chiropractor before I got cut. After the first few weeks Dr. Petrelli had me walking around pain-free then he had me exercise my back to keep it strong. I feel great, didn't get the surgery, and I now my golf game has gotten better too. Thanks Dr. P!

I have had significant improvement in my back condition since I started treatment and less of back pain. I have had no back pain for the last month. It has been extremely helpful and I will definitely come back for treatment if and when the problem reoccurs.

I saw Dr. Petrelli for shoulder pain after my shoulders had been bothering me for months, to the point where I couldn't fall asleep when I lay down. My mortgage work and frequent traveling had me sitting at a computer and talking on the phone for more than the usual 8 hours a day. Ibuprofen was not doing enough, and hoping I could avoid real pain killers, I sought out chiropractic work with someone who does more than spinal adjusting. Dr. Petrelli did an exam on my shoulder and suspected a rotator cuff problem. After treating me for a few weeks, the pain would calm down, but still wouldn't go away. The Doc then recommended I get MRIs to see better what was going on. He had suspected tendinitis or some kind of tear and the MRIs proved I only had tendinitis of one of the rotator cuff muscles.

The plan was to use massage, ultrasound, spinal and shoulder adjustments along with some rehabilitation exercises. The hope was that all of these together would get the shoulder working right again. What I have found is that if I have regular adjustments to make it possible to do the exercises routinely, I do fine. I see Dr. Petrelli and his massage therapist at least once a month and I still get routine checkups and adjustments of my back and shoulders to keep everything in alignment to stay ahead of whatever damage may be happening because I'm still doing the same job. After nine months I am doing great. I know the job is aggravating my shoulder, but I can't quit my job, so Dr. Petrelli keeps me in line. I hate to think about what a surgeon would have recommended, or how I would feel now if I did not get my shoulder pain treated.
