Introducing West Chester Chiropractor Dr. Stephen Uhl

I temporarily lost the use of my right arm!

West Chester Chiropractor, Dr.  Uhl

I suffered a severe neck injury while playing football at Butler University. The pain started in my neck and radiated into my right arm, then the weakness and strength loss set in. The athletic trainer referred me to an orthopedist and a neurologist who both recommended I hang up my cleats forever. A coach on the team recognized that I might have a chiropractic problem and was kind enough to refer me. Sure enough, the chiropractor found the problem: two rotated vertebrae in my neck. The best part was that he believed the problem could be fixed and I could continue playing football without losing my scholarship! Following a series of adjustments and therapies, the pain in my neck subsided and the strength was back in my right arm. It was clear to me at that point that I had found my calling.

I attended chiropractic school at Logan College in St. Louis, Missouri and graduated in 1997. I was very surprised to find out that our curriculum was almost identical to that of traditional medical schools.

At our practice, our purpose is to educate and adjust as many families toward optimal health by utilizing scientifically-based chiropractic principles. We take pride in treating patients in tandem with several medical providers in our community. We have had remarkable success treating patients after other means of treatment have failed.

Dr. Uhl married in 2001 and has two young children, Cameron and Madison.

Dr. Uhl stays healthy by receiving chiropractic adjustments one to two times per month, running 8-10 miles per week and strength training twice per week. He started adjusting his children when they were only a few months old!

Thanks for visiting our site. I look forward to helping you with today's safe and natural chiropractic care. Give our office a call, or email me using the link below and take your first step towards better health.

Dr. Stephen  Asks some important questions of interest to West Chester residents - Chiropractor West Chester Dr. Stephen Asks...

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more West Chester parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
What causes vertebral subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
