Dr. Allan Petrilak is a dedicated chiropractic physician with a passion for holistic health and patient-centered care. Since graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, FL, in 2019, he has been committed to helping individuals optimize their health, recover from injuries, and enhance their physical performance. For Dr. Petrilak, the best part of chiropractic care is its immediate impact: “Chiropractic is the only profession where you can directly and positively impact a person in just three minutes.” Whether he’s treating athletes, professionals, or those seeking general wellness, Dr. Petrilak is committed to helping patients move better, feel better, and live pain-free. His journey into chiropractic care wasn’t defined by a single moment but rather by a series of experiences that led him to appreciate a holistic approach to treatment. Initially drawn to working with athletes, Dr. Petrilak shadowed a chiropractor and quickly realized the profound impact chiropractic care has on patients. This experience solidified his dedication to the profession. Dr. Petrilak holds certifications as a Corrective Exercise Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and is on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners by the Department of Transportation (DOT). He is also trained in Activator Methods and is actively pursuing further education in Orthopedics. His extensive experience includes working as a team chiropractor for two professional sports teams over seven seasons and being a Pro Hockey Chiropractor Association member. His passion for sports, particularly basketball and weightlifting, allows him to connect with athletes and active individuals seeking specialized chiropractic care. Previously, Dr. Petrilak operated a 37-foot mobile chiropractic clinic, offering corporate wellness treatments and personal injury care. His mobile practice provided on-site chiropractic services to employees across various corporate campuses, ensuring accessible and effective care. Born in New Jersey and raised in Florida, Dr. Petrilak eventually moved to Allentown, PA, where he now practices. He values family and lifelong friendships, having maintained the same close-knit group of friends since elementary school. He is looking forward to working with all of you to get you out of pain and restore normal function and ability so you can return to the activities that are most important to you.
