fter 31 years as a chiropractor, Dr. Marc Belitsky still loves what he does and he’s grateful for his solid practice in Broomall. He is a Board-certified chiropractic rehabilitation doctor and the Clinical Director of Broomall Total Health Center (BTHC; www.SpineDr.org), which he opened in 1989. “I get to know my patients really well, learning about their families and jobs. It’s fulfilling to be able to change their lives!” he said. Dr. Belitsky opened up his practice after graduating in 1988 from the Pennsylvania College of Chiropractic. He personally serves each and every patient at BTHC, and treats anyone from children and stay-at-home moms to professional and amateur athletes. “Treating my patients is not just about pain management,” said Dr. Belitsky, “it’s about enhancing a person’s function, performance and quality of life.” What sets him apart from other practitioners is that he’s Board-certified in Chiropractic Rehabilitation and Board-certified in the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis. He has also completed

advanced studies with a Master’s certification in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical injuries (whiplash) and associated TMJ dysfunction. The team at BTHC helps patients through a holistic approach. In addition to chiropractic care, they offer physical therapy and rehabilitation, decompression therapy, and nutrition and weight loss support. The staff includes a physical therapist, a physical therapy assistant, a physiologist and a massage therapist. BTHC’s Physical Therapist Pam Schick, DAPT, graduated in 1989 with a Physical Therapy degree from Northern Arizona University and has 30 years of experience specializing in outpatient Orthopedic Physical Therapy. “My staff are good, honest people who truly care about each patient,“ Dr. Belitsky stated. He said he was impressed how they really stepped up during the pandemic. Safety has been a top priority at BTHC, and they’ve been following all the CDC guidelines, staggering appointments, screening staff and patients, and offering telehealth appointments. When a new patient comes into the practice, the team always evaluates them, to ensure issues are accurately and fully identified. “We evaluate each area of a patient’s stress: chemical, physical, and emotional,” Dr. Belitsky said. “It’s important that we get to the root cause of the problem, and not just look at the symptoms.” After a detailed physical exam, he’s able to recommend a plan that’s specific to that patient and will help alleviate their aches and pains. The main focus of chiropractic treatment is the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. With chiropractic treatments, pressure on the nerves of the spine is relieved, and patients often notice relief almost instantly.
