Orchard and fruit country
Chiropractor Near Biglerville, PA
About 15 minutes straight down PA 34, which becomes Carlisle Street.
Biglerville sits in the heart of Adams County fruit country, home of the National Apple Museum. The orchards around town have fed the region for generations, and the people who work them know exactly how hard this kind of labor is on a body. There is a particular ache that comes from a season of ladder work, hauling bins, and long shifts in the packing house.
Picking, pruning, and packing ask the same things of your body over and over - reach, lift, twist, grip. Shoulders get sore from reaching overhead, the low back takes the brunt of every heavy bin, and wrists and hands wear down from sorting and packing. When the season peaks, you push through it because the fruit will not wait. The question is what you do with the ache once the day is done.
Straight down PA 34 to Carlisle Street
From Biglerville it is about 15 minutes south on PA 34, which runs straight into downtown Gettysburg and becomes Carlisle Street. The office is at 18 Carlisle St Ste 210, on the second floor - look for the frosted glass door with our logo. We keep room in the schedule so we can fit you in around the demands of the season.
Care for the way orchard country works
Ladder work and overhead reaching show up as shoulder pain and neck stiffness. Hauling bins is a classic cause of low back pain, and packing house shifts wear down the wrists and elbows - see our extremity adjustments page. We combine spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises built for real labor, not a desk.

Biglerville chiropractic questions
How do I get to the office from Biglerville?
Take PA 34 south about 15 minutes straight into downtown Gettysburg, where it becomes Carlisle Street. The office is at 18 Carlisle St Ste 210, on the second floor.
My shoulders and back ache from ladder work in the orchard - can you help?
Yes. Reaching overhead and balancing on a ladder is hard on the shoulders, mid back, and low back. We work on those joints and the muscles around them, then add exercises to keep them stable.
Lifting bins all day wrecks my low back. What do you do for that?
Low back pain from heavy lifting is one of the most common things we see. We use spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and simple changes to how you lift and move so you can keep working.
I work in the packing house - wrists and hands are shot. Do you do extremities?
We do. As an extremity-adjusting practice, we work directly on wrists, elbows, and shoulders, plus the soft tissue that supports them.
Can I come in before or after my shift?
Tell us your schedule when you book. We keep room in the schedule and will do our best to find a time that fits around orchard and packing house hours.
