Welcome to Popowich Chiropractic & Acupuncture Care Center where we have been providing pain relief and wellness care for 20 years. We are dedicated to providing exceptional care in a relaxed and caring environment. We have helped thousands of patients with conditions from back and neck pain, to headaches, as well as carpal tunnel and other joint-related conditions.
Depending on your current condition, additional paperwork may be needed. Once you have completed the paperwork you will then meet with Dr. Popowich to discuss your current condition and any other questions or concerns you may have. When meeting with Dr. Popowich please provide as much information about your current conditions as possible, as this will allow for the best course of examination and will help in the type of treatment provided. Your examination will include a chiropractic bio-mechnical posture and stress evaluation, as well as standard orthopedic and neurological testing.
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Your first visit is $90.00 and includes an evaluation and your first acupuncture treatment. Follow up visits are priced at $60.00 per session. Most Health (HSA) /Medical (MSA) saving accounts and flex spending accounts will cover this service. Acupuncture is an important part of a Traditional Chinese Medicine system with a history of over 2,500 years.
This past year, I learned about Dr. Popowich and his Chiropractic and Acupuncture practice in Newtown. He is the first doctor who has been able to give me hope and a better quality of life. He took the time to fully analyze my health and wellness regarding vertigo and other balance issues. I value his expert and candid opinion as well as the excellent care that Dr. Popowich has provided me.

I've been a patient of Dr Popowich for more than 4 years, and he has treated me with acupuncture for Lyme disease very successfully. I continue to see him for regular "maintenance" sessions and his treatment always helps me hold my progress. Additionally, he has helped with a lower back injury where I hurt myself in such a way I could barely walk.

After two acupuncture sessions the pain was barely there and I resumed normal life activities almost immediately. Dr Popowich is such a great trouble shooter and gets to the crux of what ails you quickly. I have the utmost confidence in him. Plus, he's always knowledgeable in homeopathic and natural remedies, which I always prefer. All this and he and his staff are super nice!

I have seen Dr. Popowich for terrible arthritis pain in my hands and he was very helpful. Recommended supplements and massage, which have helped. I don't wish to take pharmaceuticals, so this naturopathic route was just right for me.

I was referred to Dr. Popowich from a family member and i am very grateful for that! I do acupuncture to help with my anxiety and general adjustments to the body as well. He is very thorough with helping me solve any problems and questions I may have. I have recommended two of my friends to him and would continue to recommend him to anyone who needs it!

I went to Dr. Popowich for acupuncture due to the positive reviews. I am recovering from a long journey with breast cancer and have chronic pain. I am in healthcare so i was a but hesitant but decided to try. I am writing this as i wish someone shared this information for me to see prior to my visit. 1. He performed a "Meridian Balance Report" and proceeded to give me 10 pages of results asking if i had any questions.

Totally nonsense report - made no sense based on my health background. 2. He didn't listen and was rushing. I have a very complex background. I felt like a # as he traveled from room to room seeing other patients as he performed acupuncture. 3. There was no explanation for where he placed the needles. It was hard to relax as the walls are thin and you can hear him with other patients. 4.

He put needles in my left arm. I had lymph nodes removed in this arm and he put me at risk for lymphedema. He did not pick up on this - nor did I at that moment. If he listened, he would have realized this. 5. He "cracked" my neck which freaked me out - if i knew he was going to do that i would have told him not to. 6. Since then, I have seen a reputable acupuncturist which was a completely different experience. Shared the Meridian Report is useless, immediately knew not to put needles in my left arm, strategically placed the needles vs. putting them everywhere. Thus, Rec he sticks to his scope and if you are looking for acupuncture - look elsewhere.

Dr. Popowich has done in 3 months what no other doctor has been able to do in the last 4 years since my accident; I can now go through a day without pain. Though I have been treated by some very well-known institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic and local doctors it was not until I was under the care of Dr. Popowich that relief was finally felt.

His passion and his personal touch are like no other doctor I have seen. It is evident that he invests much of his free time educating himself in all areas of his practice as he is always on top research associated with specialty. Though some may consider this as "alternative" medical help I consider this leading edge without having to constantly medicate yourself to get to a better place.

If you are not a believer in this type of treatment you will be after you meet Dr. Popowich and his staff. Update: still under his care for chronic back issues but without his treatment I would not be able to do anything under his care my mobility is much greater. My whole family is now patients of Dr Popowich and love how he cares for them

Our son developed reflux and after multiple MDs assuring us this was normal, we remembered that Dr. Popowich treated children (we see him for acupuncture and love him). After one visit, the spitting up was virtually gone. Not only was he gentle with our baby, but he played with him too! He is our first choice for us, and our baby, always. Can't thank him enough for being the wonderful doctor and person that he is.

Dr. Popowich helped me through a very tough back injury. The dry needling he did offered immediate relief, and with chiropractic help I was feeling better within weeks, after struggling in pain for months. There is no hard sell involved, he offers what he thinks will help and lets you make the choice.

Dr Popowich is a miracle worker. He listens and doesn't rush. You walk out of his office feeling great. He also works with children. My daughter sees him a few times a year for adjustments. I have sent so many people to see him and everyone raves about how much better they feel. I highly recommed him!

Dr. Popowich was among the list of chiropractors covered under my health insurance for my back ache and sore shoulder muscles, which tended to give me a Migräne. It has helped immensely, that now I only need to schedule a session when I get sore or when I feel the need. He has definitely helped my pain with his therapy. He also highly recommends an active lifestyle of exercises, stretching, planking and other exercises that help build your core muscles. So, in that he is definitely not your run of the mill, pill pushing doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Popowich for several years and I appreciate his approach to addressing any back or pain issues I may be having. Unlike so many medical practices these days, he's right there at my appointment time and he's never in a rush - he takes time to listen to what may be ailing me and his range of treatments work exceptionally well.

Case in point: I've been dealing with a frozen shoulder for months and in just two visits he's has accomplished more than I have with weeks of just physical therapy. It's amazing! I highly recommend Dr. Popowich to anyone seeking chiropractic care.

I am delighted to share with you the exceptional care that I have received from Dr. Popowich. When I first came to his office, I was experiencing frequent and debilitating episodes of vertigo for at least two years. I had been to several medical doctors, another chiropractor, and was also taking medication frequently. Shortly after beginning my sessions with Dr. Popowich, which included both acupuncture and chiropractic treatments, I experienced a dramatic lessening in vertigo episodes.

I am happy to say that I am now nearly free of this problem which so negatively impacted my life. Dr. Popowich has an excellent understanding of the human body, and cares for his patients in a holistic, compassionate and professional manner.

I selected Dr. Popowich to treat my back injuries from a car accident because he had the most 5 star reviews of all others in my area. Turns out it was a great choice. He is skilled, knowledgeable, personable, considerate, caring. He was able to improve my situation almost immediately. He has a plan for treatment, is good at discussing it with the patient, and his plan works. Where I was once unable to sit, sleep or walk, I am now almost back to a normal life. As you can see, I highly recommend him.

By far the best chiropractic care I have ever experienced! Dr. Popowich provides a unique combination of precise chiropractic and remarkably effective acupuncture that has brought me unparalleled relief. If you live in the area and are suffering from chronic pain you owe it to yourself to make an appointment today. What a difference.

Dr. Popowich has been my family chiropractor for almost two decades. I started care with him as a teenager after struggling with severe knee pain for many years. I'm happy to say that my knee pain was quickly resolved. Throughout the years I have continued to see Dr. Popowich for regular check ups to maintain not only my spinal alignment but my overall health.

My parents began seeing him around the same time I did and have continued with their chiropractic care as well. My mother has scoliosis and the care Dr. Popowich has given her has helped to keep the normal spinal issues associated with scoliosis away. My dad has moderated arthritis in his spine and knees. His care has helped those issues from worsening and kept his symptoms down. We love Dr. Popowich and the thorough care he has given us throughout the years!

I have been seeing Dr. Popowich for several years now for back and neck issues and I can honestly say that I get relief from my pain every time I see him. I'm a huge believer in acupuncture and when he combines that with chiropractic manipulations and other therapies, I always have great results. What I feel sets Dr. Popowich apart from other doctors is that he is very research driven so he is very knowledgable about so many health conditions & chiropractic issues. And you will never feel rushed because he takes the time to answer all your questions and listen to all your concerns.

After decades of accepting mediocre chiropractic treatment, the office of Popowich Chiropractic introduced me to the real meaning of chiropractic CARE. Dr. Popowich is exceptionally knowledgeable in chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, nutrition and natural wellness. 2012 was my family's healthiest year ever thanks to the education and personal advice I received at every visit. I look forward to not only an even healthier 2013 but a lifetime of living well with Popowich Chiropractic.

I began seeing Dr. Popowich as a teenager for chronic knee pain. I have been a long-time patient of Dr. Popowich and have a profound appreciation not only for the time he takes to provide excellent chiropractic care at each visit but also his dedication to educate his patients about their overall health and wellness. I can say, without a doubt, that without his help I would have eventually ended up with knee surgery. I am extremely grateful to have been introduced to Dr. Popowich and chiropractic care!

In the last eight years I have seen several Chiropractors with low results. It was not until I had the good fortune of finding Dr. Popowich that I finally experienced top-notch Chiropractic care. Personalized Chiropractic care is what I and my family have found with Dr. Popowich with excellent results! So, if you have not been satisfied with prior Chiropractic care or have been contemplating where to go for your Chiropractic needs, I do highly recommend you go to Dr. Popowich.

Dr. Popowich is a true gem in Newtown. His skills/experience are many - from Chiropractic to Acupuncture, Life Coaching and Nutrition. He combines all this to give you a deep assessment of not only what's causing the pain, but how to handle it and prevent it from happening. It's such a relief to visit a Chiropractor who goes beyond the 5 minute adjustment. He takes the time to give stim and warmth when needed, cares and learns about my living habits, and advises me on how to live better.
