New Patient Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Your First Visit at Skocik Chiropractic

Dr and woman Prior to your first visit to Skocik Chiropractic, you’ll be asked to fill out patient forms in the New Patient Center. This paperwork covers your medical health history and information about your current symptoms. On your first visit, please bring your identification card and insurance card if applicable.  Then, you’ll have a one-on-one consultation with chiropractor, Dr. Albert Skocik. He’ll talk to you about your current concerns and learn more about your symptoms. Dr. Albert Skocik always does a complete exam on your initial visit, including physical, neurological, orthopedic and physical. Depending on your condition, in office digital X-rays may be taken to identify the underlying case of pain. Once Dr. Albert Skocik has all of the information, he’ll render an accurate diagnosis. He’ll also let you know how chiropractic care can help you get on the path to recovery. Dr. Albert Skocik has years of experience helping patient recovery from an auto accident injury, work injury, slip and fall, sports injury and more. He has successfully treated many types of injuries, including whiplash, soft tissue injuries, herniated disc, sciatica, bulging disc and degenerative disc disease.

Dr. Albert Skocik takes a holistic and multi-faceted approach to healing and recovery from pain. Services offered at Skocik Chiropractic include manual spinal adjustments, extremity adjustments, chiropractic modalities, spinal decompression therapy, neuropathy treatment with THOR laser therapy and HAKO therapy. Chiropractic care often includes several therapeutic treatment modalities. Each modality is designed to work synergistically with the other and accelerate the body’s natural healing process.

How Each Treatment Modality Helps Healing and Pain Relief
 

Decomp Manual spinal adjustments help realign the spine to its proper position. When spinal discs are out of proper position, they can irritate each other, impinge on surrounding nerves and cause pain. With spinal adjustments, patients can experience pain relief from bulging disc, herniated disc, sciatica and soft tissue injuries. Depending on your condition, spinal decompression therapy may be integrated into your treatment plan. This therapy takes place on a motorized traction table controlled by a computerized device. It gently stretches the spine to create more space between spinal discs. Decompression therapy takes about 30 minutes and is totally relaxing. As a matter of fact, some patients even fall asleep during this treatment.

At Skocik Chiropractic, we also treat neuropathy for patients living in Harrisburg and the surrounding communities. Neuropathy occurs when a nerve has been damaged. We treat peripheral, diabetic, small fiber and sensory neuropathy. Our treatment plan for neuropathy includes spinal adjustments, chiropractic modalities, Hako-Med therapy and Thor laser therapy. This low-level laser therapy uses concentrated light to penetrate the skin and ramp up cellular regeneration. It has many benefits include decreased pain, faster recovery time and increased range of motion.

                                                                                 If you’re in pain, turn to Skocik Chiropractic in Harrisburg and call (717) 540-8448.


Books

You will receive a copy of Dr. Skocik's book, "Years to Life, Life to Years" before you leave on your initial visit. 

Dr Skocik wrote this book to answer many of the questions his patients would ask about chiropractic and living a healthy life.

Forward from the Book:

A question posted recently on Facebook asked, “If you could write something to yourself as a child, what would you tell you younger self?”

Many responses were self-deprecating, with common responses of not to get married or to stay single. The question touched me, and I responded, "Live every day, love your fellow man, appreciate those around you – they may not always be there; hold onto that childhood faith, love learning and never let life make you cynical."

The title of this book is from a quote attributed to BJ Palmer, the developer of chiropractic – "chiropractic adds years to life and life to years."

It is sincerely hoped that the message in this book will help the reader in some small way to improve the quality of life.

Patient Testimonial

D DeFoor

Dwayne D. – Verified Patient

Thank you to the entire team, Dr. Skocik, Kourtnay, Susan, Nichole, and the former staff for taking great care of me over the years.  I began my journey with this great group of people in 2006.  While playing volleyball, I went up for a spike but ended up on the ground as my back went out.  This begins eighteen years with Skocik Chiropractic. 

From 2006 through 2009 lower back therapy plus a few other challenges, followed in 2013 to treat neck and shoulder blade issues, the care has been top-notch.  In 2021 additional neck challenges popped up.    More spine-related challenges arrived in 2024.  Skocik Chiropractic came to the rescue yet again!

The Skocik Chiropractic team has been an integral part of my health team.  I couldn’t ask for a better partner. 

Highly recommended!!!!!
