Dr. Nancy Nagle

I was 23 years old when I first saw Dr. Nagle having just been diagnosed with a congenital spinal condition that causes chronic sciatica. I was searching for a way to avoid costly and invasive surgery that had no guarantees of actually helping my condition in the long-term. I was wary of seeing a chiropractor because I was afraid of the twisting and cracking associated with traditional methods. A friend recommended Dr. Nagle because she used Directional Non-Force Technique (DNFT). I went to see her at lunchtime one day back in 1997 - that visit literally changed my life.

 

Seventeen years later, I have never needed surgery. I can count on one hand the number of times I have taken prescription medication for pain—and almost every single one of those times, I was traveling on a crowded airplane. (If I were a celebrity, she would be in my “entourage”!) Like my grandmother, I can “feel it in my bones” when the weather is about to change drastically and when it’s unbearable, Dr. Nagle is there to help ease the discomfort. (If only it was always sunny in Philadelphia!) I had a skiing accident once and severely bruised my tailbone. Knowing that doctors couldn’t splint or cast my “tail”, I went to see Dr. Nagle immediately and I began to feel a huge difference with regular adjustments in no time. And just as important as the physical issues, many of my adjustments have helped relieve emotional blockages that have wreaked havoc with my physical body. Every adjustment with her is peaceful and I can feel an immediate difference in my body and mind with long-lasting results.  

 

Dr. Nagle specializes in DNFT that in simple terms feels much like acupressure—a light pressure on the skin, no needles, no tools. There is no forceful manipulation or twisting that causes cracking of the joints. She takes time to get to know her patients, and works with them to address their issues on a macro-level, not just treating the point of discomfort. Her easy-to-understand explanations of anatomy have also helped me to better understand how my body works (and often doesn’t!). Her invaluable knowledge and expertise have also helped me make better decisions about exercise and nutrition.

 

Dr. Nancy Nagle is not just an amazing doctor, but also an inspiration. I have never seen a doctor who takes such a compassionate approach to working with patients. Few people can say they truly love their job, and Dr. Nagle LOVES her job. Her devotion to her patients and passion for her work is unmatched and rare in a world where most healthcare practitioners are bound by apathetic healthcare systems and laws. I have chosen to see her on a regular basis for all these years because I know that I am a healthier person with regular treatments; she has never pressured me into visits or to buy into a package of visits like some chiropractors do. However, I have also known many people who have seen her for shorter periods of time and seen amazing results.

 

So, thank you, Dr. Nagle for all that you have done for me. Here’s to the next seventeen years! Cheers!
