Chiropractic Physician, Webster Certified

Dr. Christopher J. (CJ) DeFabio continues the family legacy as a third-generation chiropractic physician. Prior to treating patients in New Jersey, he was practicing in Chicago, part of an integrative clinic. This experience provided him the clinical tools to approach patient centered care through a conservative multidisciplinary scope. Moreover, his time in private practice was preceded by obtaining a chiropractic degree from the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL. His journey to becoming a chiropractor began as a Division 1 Cross Country and Track & Field athlete at Rutgers University, as he attributes chiropractic care to remaining injury free and performing at peak potential.
