Dr. Frank Altenrath, DC, Tenafly, NJ, 07670

Chiropractic Practice Description

We specialize in treating a variety of conditions from low back pain, disc herniations, sports injuries, to rehabilitation following a work or auto injury. We also work with patients on achieving a healthier lifestyle by addressing nutritional needs and muscular imbalances. One of my main areas of expertise as a former athlete is helping other athletes of all ages prevent future sports injuries by assessing biomechanical strengths and weaknesses and correcting the weak links before they become problematic. The practice philosophy is that most of the common injuries that we see today such as knee, hip, shoulder, back, are predominantly the result of biomechanical imbalances. If these imbalances are caught early enough the athlete will remain healthy and perform at their peak potential.
