Yeadon, PA Drs and Health Practioners

Nationally board-certified oriental-medicine specialist Nancy R. Radice believes that effective and natural healing can be achieved without scalpels, pills, or robotic nursing assistants. Drawing from ancient practices that date from more than 2,500 years ago, Nancy performs acupuncture and Chinese-medicine treatments to re-establish harmony in the body, stimulating key nerves under the skin with strategically placed needles during acupuncture and precise finger pressure in acupressure massages. She also offers shiatsu massage, which relies on pressure from the palms, fingers, and thumbs to shoo away tension and stimulate the body’s energy points.

Through Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique, or NAET, she also helps identify clients’ allergies, whether they spring from certain medicines, vegetables, grasses, or plants. After hunting down each allergy, she’ll draw from a range of disciplines—including acupuncture, energy balancing, chiropractic medicine, and nutritional studies—to treat allergies in the hopes of reducing or negating their sneeze-inducing effects.

Gateway Bodyworks owner Lisa Firey believes deeply in the power of holistic treatments, as she has seen remarkable results firsthand. When her beloved dog, Porter, came down with an immune disease, doctors attempted to treat the symptoms with Western medicine. She suspected the medicines were weakening Porter’s immune system, so she began to research alternative methods. Soon she was treating her dog with vitamin C, nasturtium, and dandelion root, as well as massage. This method reenergized Porter and prolonged his life. Impassioned by this discovery, Lisa went on to earn a degree in muscle therapy and is now pursuing a doctorate in natural health.

Today, Lisa employs a staff of 20 experts to practice holistic healing methods. Within her garage-turned-spa space, her team focuses on acupuncture, bodywork, and massage. During reflexology treatments, therapists push pressure points on the feet, relieving stress and removing stuck-on shoe inserts. Acupuncturists treat everything from fatigue to autoimmune disorders and suggest herbal remedies. Alternatively, massage therapists use the long, languid strokes of the Swedish modality, and can also alleviate pain related to sports injuries, pregnancy, and postpregnancy. To round out the center, Lisa also set up a yoga studio with classes such as Hatha, Mommy & Me, and Kundalini.

Dr. Michael Wollock, a former captain and dentist in the U.S. Air Force, received the Commendation Medal for meritorious service, which sparked his desire to provide dental services in a comfortable environment. He concentrates on aesthetics, cosmetic dentistry, and infection control, and he takes continual education classes to ensure that he is able to provide his patients with the latest dental techniques.

Prior to perfecting smiles at Brookhaven Family Dentistry––a division of the Centre for Family Dentistry––resident dentist Dr. Dinesh S. Tewari put a BS, MS, and PhD into practice as a published biochemical researcher before graduating from the Temple University DMD program. Now, alongside Dr. Euree Choi, DMD, who helps to helm Drexel Hill Family Dentistry, Dr. Tewari uses the latest smile-taming technology to protect and enhance teeth at four Delaware County locations. Clear, removable Invisalign aligners help to put errant teeth back in line sans braces, and Lumineers porcelain veneers help to mask stained, cracked, or chipped teeth beneath a pearly-white façade that is as thin as a contact lens and twice as easy to floss. Other services include root canals, bone grafting, and regular checkups, which help to keep mouths at the pinnacle of health with careful oral-cancer screenings and a thorough examination of gums, teeth, and joints.
