My need for chiropractic attention began at the age of 19. Employed as a laborer for a small construction firm one of our tasks was to throw brick onto the back of a truck. On one particular day I felt a small tear occurring in my upper right back at the closest juncture of the scapula and spine. Being young at the time I didn’t think much of it. However, it wasn’t too many months afterwards when I found myself waking up in every night looking for the sharpest corner I could find. I would lean into a corner of a desk with all me strength to loosen the cramped, tight muscles. It became so bad that I eventually sought out a chiropractor, something I had never done before, yet by this time my discomfort was so great I was willing to try anything. The man who I sought out was amazing. Before I even opened my mouth he told me what I was experiencing by just looking at me. He was 100% right. This began my journey for chiropractic care. To be honest, I didn’t keep up with my chiropractic care on a continuous basis during my 20’s and 30’s. As long as I engaged in this care my pain was relieved and the status of my back remained pain free. But because of my lack of seeking out preventive chiropractic care, as I aged, the discomfort became worse to the point that my wife had to spend as much as 30 minutes (or more) nightly to loosen my back muscles just so that I could go to sleep. She would have to put her elbow in the spasms and lean in with all her weight; it was the only way I could obtain relief and a relaxation to my muscles. It wasn’t until the summer of ’99 when my wife heard about Dr. Joe from friends of ours in Northfield. By the time I came to see him I was in the worse shape I had ever been. At age 42 I was paying the price for my personal lack of seeking and maintaining chiropractic care. Dr. Joe spent all the time I needed to explain what was taking place with me physically as a result of spinal misalignment. Not only were there problems with my upper back, but also after years of wear and tear my entire spinal column was in need of serious long-term therapy from the neck all that way to the hips. So we started with adjustments 3 times a week for three months, then eventually to 2 times a week, and now I am down to on the average once a week maintenance. I cannot stress enough that the pain has been relieved from my body! My range of motion is the greatest is has been in years. I feel, much, much better. Since the first day I met him my whole family has been under his attentive treatment for 17 years. He truly demonstrates care desiring that his patients gain as much optimal health as they can obtain. I would say its his professional passion that I have seen demonstrated over and over with varying clients. I am a walking testimony of what steady chiropractic therapy can do for you. I am a firm believer in it and no one can sway me to think otherwise. One other thing, I have also learned a great deal about nutrition and how critical it is for my overall health and I am making a conscious to make life altering changes. Dr. Joe is instrumental in lending information, guidance and advice. I am so very thankful.

I have been going to Dr. Gitto for about 4 months and I have to say he is one of those doctors that really take interest in finding what the problem is and a solution, whether its thru him or with another doctor. I would definitely recommend anyone with back/neck pain to make and appointment with Dr. Gitto. I showed up to his office with back and hip pain after seeing orthopedics doctors which said there was nothing I could do besides take pills and go thru physically therapy. Dr. Gitto sat down with me and went thru my x-rays and came up with a plan to hopefully fix my hip and back pain. Thru this whole process of having up and downs with pain Dr. Gitto informed me that if I ever needed anything to just call. He is the Dr that went the extra mile and had MRIs done to find out more about the pain. I am greatful for finding Dr. Gitto and plan to continue going to him after the pain is gone since he has taught me about the importance of chiropractic care and subluxations. It made total sense that the spine and nerves control your body functions. We all need to keep our bodies optimized and not have subluxations so that our body can work as intended. In closing I have to say Dr. Gitto is one of those doctors you find every once in a while. I believe he truly cares about the health of his patients. He takes the time to get to know you and is there for any questions. I would recommend him to anyone who has neck/back pain or if you are curious about chiropractic care.

Look at all these diplomas! Dr. Gittos knowledges and skills have helped by disc bulges very much. As a church intern, I came to Northfield by flying in from Philadephia, which provoked my symptoms and made my life quite painful for a week, and I couldnt sleep for more than 4-5 hours at a time without pain that woke me up. I almost bought a plane ticket to fly back home one day after I arrived in NJ, because I was in such pain, but Dr. Gitto helped convince me to stay and get chiropractic treatments instead. He used the activator method for my discs, legs, hips, and neck, all very effective. I know the two bulgings discs in my lower spine have come off my nerve decently because I can sleep without a struggle and I can walk without having to lay down every 3 hours. He has bulging discs, and although he doesnt feel pain from them because of chiropractic care, he understands perfectly what you are experiencing since he had a painful bulging disc when he was 19. Soak up every bit of information that he gives and your spine or neck or hips will feel better. Hes an honest Christian, hes very quick with his adjustments, and many times I can walk in with one person in front of me and I will be finished in less than 10 minutes.

Before Dr. Joe , I was suffering from back and neck pain. Some days I would wake up so stiff and in so much pain that I couldnt go to work or do anything. I went to several doctors and still couldnt find relief. Then I found Dr. Joe and immediately felt better. Within no time my back spasms were at a minimum, and now after a few years of his chiropractic care, I rarely struggle with spasms at all. One of the things that truly sets Dr. Joe apart from most doctors is how much he cares. He has a passion for helping people. He spends time educating his patients to make sure they understand how the body functions, so the healing process can begin. As a nutritionist, he has also helped me immensely with my stomach problems and adrenal issues. Im so extremely thankful that I found him. Step by step, he is helping to make my quality of life better for the present AND the future. Last but not least, he is a really kind, wise, and friendly person. It is always a pleasant experience to get adjusted and I always feel better after leaving. Thanks Dr. Joe!!!
