“I Listen, You Assist”
— 90% of the information that is needed to help you comes from you
I emphasize collaboration— from planning treatments (complete with realistic options) and disease prevention, to reduction of health risks with the goal of optimum health. Over the past 10 years, I have honed my skills and the art of listening to you. Tell me how you feel, what impact it is having on your life and why you don’t feel like “you”. If you already feel great, I want to make sure we take steps to keep you feeling that way.
I develop plans and provide options – using my expertise coupled with your needs we make a treatment plan that makes sense to you, doesn’t interfere with your day-to-day life, and a plan with which you want to follow through.
I am persistent – I am willing to think “outside the medical text book”, learn new things, collaborate with other medical professionals and keep working with you until we find an answer. If you are not feeling well and an answer as to why is not easily found, I will keep searching… this is a key personality attribute of mine that has largely created my reputation for tenacity and has served to grow my practice. The greatest form of flattery is a referral.
Dr. Joseph Silvernail, DC
My skills enable me to recognize when other specific medical conditions exist and Chiropractic care may complement or support medical treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition. I readily refer patients to an appropriate health care provider when Chiropractic care is not suitable for the patient’s condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.
SPECIALTIES
- Treatment of difficult conditions that have yet to responded to other options.
- Additional treatment modalities such as dry needling, soft tissue, kinesio tape, exercise therapy and custom orthotics.
- Expertise in conservative treatment options in lieu of surgical intervention.
- Extensive training in treatment relative to motor vehicle accidents.
- Sports medicine background in athletic injury treatment.

“Every Patient is Unique”
Known for my compassion and listening skills, I customize my patient’s treatment to specific needs and concerns. I treat patients of all ages, but specialize in sports medicine and total joint replacements. I diagnose and treat musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders and will refer back to an appropriate medical doctor when a diagnosis does not match signs and symptoms.
I believe that more than one type of medical provider may be necessary to restore patients back to a pain free lifestyle. I work closely with a medical team who I will refer if a multi-disciplinary treatment approach is warranted or if a different medical provider may provide more appropriate treatment. Every patient is unique and as such every treatment plan is customized to the needs of that patient.
SPECIALTIES
- Treatment of athletic/sports injuries in the recreational or competitive athlete and the weekend warrior.
- Treatment of women in all stages of pregnancy.
- Treatment of total joint and orthopedic and spinal surgeries.
- Additional treatment modalities such as iontophoresis, soft tissue mobilization, kinesio taping, exercise therapy and patient education.
- Background in orthopedic conditions and ergonomic assessments.
