Meet Dr. Pendleton

Dr. Heidi Pendleton

My name is Dr. Heidi Pendleton.  I have been a Chiropractor for 13 years.  For 11 years, I practiced in Pottstown, PA and then I was given a great opportunity to move to Royersford, PA to work with Dr. Rick at Progressive Rehab.  The decision was worthwhile!  At Progressive Rehab, I have established a wonderful referral-based family practice that is a direct result of my Love and Passion for helping as many suffering people as I can.  My goal as a Chiropractor is to meet the health needs of my patients and to improve the quality of their lives!  While I practice Chiropractic, I am able to simultaneously balance my personal life and spend quality time with my husband, George, and my beautiful children, Brooke and A.J.

I believe that the body can heal itself if it is free from interference.  Interference can come to the body in many forms; from stress, an unbalanced diet, lack of sleep or exercise, etc.  My Chiropractic philosophy is to use a whole body approach to combat interference.  I start from a patient's feet up to assess the needs of the individual so I can determine what it will take to balance his/her structure.  For some patients, this "balance" can be achieved by using orthotics.  For other patients, balance can be achieved by improving  their posture through rehab and core exercises.  Sometimes balance for a patient is even achieved through detoxification and by strengthening his/her body system by way of better nutrition.  As a Chiropractor, my hope and efforts lie in freeing my patients from physical, emotional and spiritual pain by adjusting the spine, extremities, discs, cranial bones, organs, valves and glands in their bodies.

I pride myself in the fact that I have been told over the years that I am a very thorough Doctor!  I attribute this to the fact that I have known since I was in 8th grade that I wanted to be a Chiropractor.  Thus, I have dedicated my life to being the best one that I can be.  I started my Chiropractic career working in a Chiropractic office as the front desk assistant, billing assistant, and rehab assistant.  I then became a Certified Massage Practitioner to put myself through Chiropractic school.  Even now, I continually take Continuing Education classes that specialize in the most current, effective techniques to better help my patients.  I am an expert in Extremity Adjusting and Orthotics, Koren Specific Technique (KST), using the Arthrostim, Nutrition, Myofascial Release and Active Release Technique, Chiropractic Bio-Physics (CBP), Rehabilitation, VOM Technique for Horses, Dogs and Cats, and most recently, the Neurological Pain Elimination Technique.

When asked, I always say that Chiropractic is the most satisfying career in the world!  Everyday I see miracles happen.  And I get to be an integral part of miracles happening because I am able to help people overcome pain through Chiropractic care as opposed to having to use pain medication or surgery!  This fact alone is what puts a smile on my face and gives me a positive attitude day after day!  I won't be satisfied until my adjusting line is longer than the line at any local pharmacy.  My patients are living the life of good health through Chiropractic!
