Petrini Chiropractic Center considers everyone an athlete, whether you are 9 or 99 the main difference is speed. Dr. Petrini truly believes in promoting the right to symmetrical development and optimal human performance.

Dr. Petrini utilizes various chiropractic manipulation and soft tissue techniques to not only treat the neck and back, but virtually every muscle and joint in the body. Dr. Petrini is a Certified Sports Physician specializing in human performance evaluations designed to find and prevent and treat injuries before they become problematic. He is able to baseline test an individual's performance objectively and track that individual over time to ensure proper development. Following an injury, Dr. Petrini will treat the problem and track a patient's progress over the course of the treatment.

Dr. Petrini works with athletes and non-athletes on every level from youth to Olympic and professional teams and your "average Joe" as well. He is capable of measuring an athlete's dynamic balance control, the speed of each leg, acceleration of each leg, power in each leg, the variability in movement in each leg and every basic component of human performance (Power, Strength, Speed, Quickness, Agility and Stability). This information is used to determine whether an athlete is susceptible to certain deficiencies (for example, the likelihood of being beaten to one side vs. the other) and injuries before they become problematic by measuring, finding and fixing asymmetries that never before could be detected until it was too pronounced and too late.

It is Dr. Petrini's goal to ensure the symmetric movement of all of his patient in order to prevent aberrant movement which can and will lead to pain and/or injury. Find out if your orthotics are really helping and determine which shoe is best for work or working out.

Additionally, it is well known that one's dynamic balance control (the way you move) returns to normal well after one's cognitive ability (the way you think) following a head injury. However, we still rely on cognitive testing and other subjective tests to determine when an individual has recovered from such injury. Until now. Dr. Petrini utilizes a devise that is capable of detecting human movement with 1/1000th sec accuracy making it possible to see slight "wobbles" that could not be see with the human eye.
