Dr. Phil Altieri has been seeing patients clinically for over 20 years and in private practice for the past 19 years. Prior to receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 1998, Dr. Altieri was a certified massage therapist since 1990 and worked in various clinical and private practice settings. The knowledge and experience he gained as a certified massage therapist in soft tissue techniques and manipulation is still utilized and incorporated in his current practice, complementing the chiropractic treatment. Upon licensure, Dr. Altieri started out in a multi-disciplinary medical practice consisting of medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, podiatrist, dentists, massage therapists, an acupuncturist and nutritionist. After gaining much experience and a wealth of knowledge, Dr. Altieri opened his own private chiropractic practice to better personalize and cater his services for personal patient wellness.

Dr. Altieri incorporates many procedures and therapies into his practice depending on the patient’s condition or needs. Some the various gentle procedures performed include:
