Jonathan Zwerka, D.C. attended University of Buffalo and majored in health and human services. He then returned home to Rochester to work with the developmentally disabled population before returning to New York Chiropractic College to receive his doctorate degree. Dr. Zwerka chose to pursue his career as a chiropractor because he wanted to provide health and wellness to the public without the use of invasive drugs or surgery. Many people come into his office for the typical neck and back pain but through constant education his patients learn what other conditions can be helped through chiropractic care. In Addition neck and back pain, other health ailments that can be addressed are disc herniation, arm or leg pain, TMJ, scoliosis, headaches, high blood pressure, structural problems, arthritis, fibromyalgia, athletic injuries, pre/postnatal care, pediatric care, ear infections, ADHD, asthma, and many more. Dr. Zwerka’s care is patient based to specifically fit the needs of each individual person. He utilizes numerous chiropractic and soft tissue techniques to help each patient reach their health goals as quickly as possible. Ideally, our goal is to help each person reach their optimal wellness state through several techniques including functional nutritional assessments. Here in the United States our health as a nation is failing miserably and we have become too dependent on drugs and “sick care.” Our obesity rate is up and our life expectancy is down and this is because as a whole we do not live a wellness lifestyle. Unfortunately, there is no money in the cure or prevention of disease, only in the management of them. This is where Dr. Zwerka sets himself apart. He will teach you how to make yourself healthier and live the wellness lifestyle.
