WELCOME TO HIRSCHHORN FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC
QSM3 Chiropractic
At Hirschhorn Family Chiropractic in Jenkintown, PA, we specialize in a very precise and gentle method of care known as Quantum Spinal Mechanics, or QSM3. Feedback from the control center of the body known as the brain stem allows the human body to maintain its upright posture under the constant force of gravity. When physical, chemical, and emotional stress compromises the body's ability to balance and stay upright, it becomes twisted and then locked in a stressed position. This often presents in patients we see with uneven weight bearing, one hip higher or lower, rotated shoulders and hips, and a decrease in normal movement and muscle tone. As we work to release the stressful effects of structural compression, twist, and collapse, the nervous system pressure also releases, allowing the body to maintain and sustain a more up and open posture that can lead to better function and improved health.

Dr. Brad Hirschhorn- My Story
At age 25, I was suffering with headaches and neck spasms as a result of repeated sports injuries. While in high school, my parents wouldn't sign the school permission slip to play football, so we played after school and on weekends without helmets, and repeatedly banged our heads. When all the medical tests found nothing wrong, I was told that at age 25, I was suffering from stress and an early mid-life crisis. In October of 1980, my twin brother told me "You're going to my chiropractor if I have to pick you up, put you in the car, drive you there, and pay for you." Following a brief exam, the doctor asked me if anyone had ever looked at the position of my head and neck, and he explained how he used the QSM3/NUCCA procedure to release my body to a less stressed position. After my first QSM3/NUCCA correction, I went home, needed a 5-hour nap, and woke up with most of my symptoms relieved. When I told my chiropractor how amazed I was, he suggested that I consider becoming a Chiropractor. All these years later, I still remember the first day of Chiropractic school where they talked about how the power that makes the body heals the body- exactly the process that began after my first chiropractic adjustment in 1980. It continues to be my pleasure and privilege to help my patients discover this for themselves.
