Rehabilitation Chiropractor
Dr. Justin Dietrich, M.S., D.C.
Joined Newark in 2021 with two decades of chiropractic and rehab experience, plus a master’s in physiology.
Dr. Justin Dietrich joined Pure Wellness in Newark in 2021 after more than twenty years in chiropractic and rehabilitation. He holds a bachelor’s in exercise science from Ithaca College, a master’s in physiology from Life College, and a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University.
He has owned practices of his own. His work blends clinical rehab thinking with wellness care — useful when pain is only half the problem and function is the other half.
Outside the office he stays active and keeps a balanced routine he actually asks patients to follow.
Where Justin practises
Justin practises out of a single Pure Wellness office, which keeps your file, your imaging, and your treating doctor in one building rather than spread across the state.
What Justin treats
The complaints with the most reps on this schedule are functional recovery; rehabilitation; wellness. Alongside those, Justin handles the everyday spinal and extremity work any general chiropractic practice sees — the stiff neck that will not turn, the low back that seized lifting something ordinary, the shoulder that has quietly stopped reaching overhead. Each link below opens the statewide write-up for that condition: what actually causes it, what an exam looks for, and when chiropractic is the wrong answer.
How Justin adjusts
“Chiropractic” is not one procedure. The methods below are the ones Justin is trained in, and the exam decides which of them you get. If a forceful adjustment is wrong for your age, your bone density, or an acutely inflamed joint, there is a low-force option that reaches the same joint a different way — you should be told which one you are getting and why before anyone touches you.
Rehabilitation-Based Chiropractic
Pairs every adjustment with corrective exercise so the change holds after you leave.
What it feels like: Table work plus homework — usually two or three specific movements, not a generic printout.
Used for: Recurring problems, deconditioned patients, and anyone who improves in the office but loses it within a few days.
