I have been a patient of Dr. Di Liberto's since he opened his practice. I first met him at the gym we both worked out in. I stopped to ask him a few questions about exercising, after that I knew he would be the Chiropractor for me. Well, 10 years later I was right, he's still my chiropractor and still as annoying as ever about me keeping healthy. No matter what I get myself into, he has always figured out what was wrong and put me back together. You name it, I've been through it and always because Dr. Di Liberto knew how to treat it. I can tell you, he's not the Chiropractor that treats all patients the same way and with the same cavalier attitude. He takes his time to figure out exactly what's going on. Over the years I have stumped him on a few injuries, but he's never afraid to say he just doesn't know, but he DOES find out. My latest injury was a torn meniscus in my knee. According to my case it was not the usual symptoms which seem to confuse the issue at first. Sure enough, one day Dr. D mentioned I should get an MRI, because he had a "feeling" what was going on. I hated the line he used. Over the years I've come to figure out that meant he knew exactly what was going on. He told me " Bill, I think you have a torn meniscus with a possible Baker's cyst that is complicating the healing process". Oh, by the way, this was before the MRI, of course when it came back, I was not surprised to know that he was spot on, meniscal tear, with Baker's cyst. Ok, fine you were right again. Seriously though, the best part is, he was right and I'm feeling better and moving better with his care.
Thanks Dr. D, for KNOWING!
What are TMJ Disorders?
TM (temporomandibular) disorders, also called TMJ, affect
the joint where your skull meets your lower jaw. Stress, grinding or clenching
your teeth, poor posture, or an injury can cause the joint to become
misaligned. You may hear clicking sounds or have pain, stiffness, or a locked
jaw.
How Does a Chiropractor Treat TM Disorders?
The doctor is trained to restore the health
of your spine and joints. Special chiropractic methods, may
help improve range of motion in your jaw and relieve your pain.
Adjustments
Your treatment depends on the cause of your jaw disorder.
During an adjustment, the doctor presses on your jaw, skull, or upper
spine to relieve irritated nerves and increase your jaw's range of motion.
Related treatment

reduce pain and restore smooth motion in your jaw. These may include
ultrasound, heat or ice, massage, or jaw exercises. The doctor can
discuss these with you.
