With over 20 years in healthcare and nearly a decade as a chiropractor, Dr. Malatesta delivers expert, full-body care for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. From the spine to the shoulders, wrists, knees, and more, he provides tailored treatment that addresses each patient’s unique needs. He treats patients across all stages of life—from active kids and growing teens to adults and older adults who are focused on staying active, independent, and engaged in the things they love. For children and teens, he emphasizes posture and functional movement to support healthy development. For seniors, his care aims to preserve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall quality of life. Dr. Malatesta uses a hands-on, personalized approach that includes joint mobilizations, myofascial release therapy (MRT), passive stretching, kinesiology taping, electrical stimulation, Graston (instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy), and targeted exercises. He also strongly believes in the power of education, helping patients understand their condition and take an active role in their recovery. In addition to treating joint and muscle issues, he helps patients manage conditions such as concussions and vertigo—restoring balance, improving function, and supporting long-term wellness.
