I have a desk job, which means I spend the majority of my workday sedentary. Conversely, Im active outside of the office and am passionate about fitness and sports. I play basketball, practice yoga, run and weight train 5-6 days a week. Due to the dramatic shift in activity, I began experiencing some pretty intense tightness in my lower back. The tightness quickly began working its way into my hips and left hamstring, making it difficult to get out of bed or walk around some mornings. I was extremely worried, because this was the same feeling I had as a sophomore in high school, when I tore my hamstring. No amount of stretching or rehab was enough to fully alleviate the pain, and I was tired of walking around like Quasimodo. I knew I had to do something to get back to normal. I placed a call to Dr. Galzaranos office, because its located just a few blocks from my house. I was happy to find out how easy it was for me to get an appointment, and I was able to schedule the exact time I wanted. His staff is friendly and I experienced next to no wait time while I was there. His prices are also reasonable; you wont have to break the bank in order to get treatment. In regards to Dr. Galzarano, I was impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. After a quick examination and a few questions, he was able to diagnose and treat my problem. He thoroughly explained what I needed to do in the future make sure this didnt happen again-- which due to my lifestyle is a definite possibility. Ive been back a few times since my initial visit, and my back/hips/legs havent felt this good in years. Im back in the gym and no longer cringe every time I have to sit down to get some work done.

I injured my spine doing a military press on a gym machine in college, in the late 1980s. The problem was diagnosed and misdiagnosed by at least four different doctors, but with time the pain mostly subsided. But occasionally Id aggravate it, and would be in pain for months afterwards. This went on for over 20 years. I then went to see Dr. Galzarano after an especially bad episode (I was bent over in pain, and couldnt even sit up to get out of bed, I had to roll off the side), and he treated me for a number of months using his gifted techniques. I can safely say that he cured my chronic pain problem, so much so that the actions which used to cause flare ups dont provoke any reaction whatsoever! This miracle did not happen over night, and the first few visits to Dr. G. were painful with little apparent relief, but healing takes time, and he did in fact heal me, when all those other "traditional" doctors (one of whom recommended spinal surgery) failed. Plus, hes a warm and generous fellow with very kind support staff. :-) Thank you, Dr. G.

I had terrible pain in my right arm and numbness and tingling in my right hand for a very long time. It kept getting worse. I stopped lifting something as simple as a drinking glass or a roasting pan at home and I was using plastic cups and cooking in the microwave. I was afraid to go to a chiropractor; I was scared of the "cracking" noise. But my pain was breaking through over-the-counter pain meds. Finally, I mentioned this to another doctor and he referred me to Dr. G. I had a nerve impingement in my neck. I felt immediate relief after my first adjustment. After a few adjustments the numbness went away in my hand. After just eight weeks Dr. G told me to "skip a week" because my body had healed itself so well. I questioned him about that. "Your body heals itself," he told me, "I just move the bones around." I know where to go if those bones give me trouble again. Thanks Dr. G!

My first experience with a chiropractor and I just wanted to share my opinion with other people that are in need of pain relief. After being involved in an MVA involving multiple vehicles, I was really banged up. Anthony came highly recommend to me, still skeptical, I made the appointment. From the time I walked into the office and was greeted by the friendly receptionist. Then I met Anthony who did a very thorough GENTLE evaluation. From two weeks of therapeutic hands on adjusting to ultrasound , traction,water massage table I can say I see vast improvements in my mobility and pain level. If I feel this much better, I can only imagine how much better I will feel with a few more weeks of treatment. It was well worth it. I may just continue with the chiropractor for the pleasure.

Dr. Galzarano is simply outstanding. His diagnostic skills are on point in that he analyzes your data, and does a thorough clinical assessment before starting his work. He takes the time to understand your condition by he framing your clinical goals based on his assessment. He listens carefully. His prognosis is based on a comprehensive treatment plan and in his re-exams, he re-calibrates the adjustments based on your feedback. He will also consult with your medical doctor if you request it. I have referred and will continue to refer many friends and co-workers to him because of my own experience as a patient.

I was very impressed by Dr. Galzarano. In a short three-day visit to Philly I came up with a severe lower back spasm, for the first time ever. I was incapacitated for hours. When I could finally stand up I went to his clinic on February 8th 2014 (after a friends recommendation). The atmosphere in the clinic was the nicest possible, and his attention and thoughtfulness were already a great reception. In a few minutes of (drug-free) treatment I was tremendously relieved. And besides these amazing medical and human qualities, it was very affordable. I regret I cant be there for treatment often. Thank you Dr.!

Dr. Gs keen interest in health; yours, mine, his, his dogs, our communitys, what it means to be healthy, how to get there, and how to stay healthy, keep him reading, learning, teaching, and practicing his skilled chiropractic, sharing his extensive knowledge about all things health with all of us. Lucky for us neighbors who have him nearby! He has been helping me out with my various health issues for 17 years now, and Ive recommended his services to friends and strangers, customers at the restaurants where I work, and my family. He has helped us all, and frequently in a short period of time!

I am not one to write reviews , but when one is due it should be written. I recently found myself in the ER for a back injury. When the ER asked me to rate my pain 1to 10, I told them I have never had a pain so bad so it must be a 10. The ER was very typical with x-rays and meds that could make you a zombie. I immediately took myself to Dr. G and with an adjustment my debilitating pain was gone. Yes I was sore ,but the pain that sent me to ER was not there. After going and getting adjustments for the next 4 days, all pain and stiffness was gone. This Doc knows how to help.

I have seen Dr. Galzarano throughout the years, primarily related to sports injuries. He first treated me for a pinched nerve that was impeding mobility in my right arm. One treatment and I was pain free. I had a bicycle accident in which I was hit, thrown from my bike and landed on my head and shoulder. Again with one treatment, I was better than new and able to resume riding without any pain. I highly recommend Dr. Galzarano for any chiropractic concerns. He is honest, sincere utilizes a variety of techniques to treat conditions and is very affordable.
