Dr. Justin Dietrich, M.S., D.C.

Dr. Justin Dietrich joined Pure Wellness in Newark in 2021 after more than twenty years in chiropractic and rehabilitation. He holds a bachelor’s in exercise science from Ithaca College, a master’s in physiology from Life College, and a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University.

He has owned practices of his own. His work blends clinical rehab thinking with wellness care — useful when pain is only half the problem and function is the other half.

Outside the office he stays active and keeps a balanced routine he actually asks patients to follow.

Your first appointment runs 60 to 90 minutes, and the adjustment is the last thing that happens, not the first. Justin starts with your history — what happened, when, what makes it worse, what you have already tried — then screens your posture, measures range of motion rather than estimating it, and examines the joints and soft tissue around the area you are pointing at.

You get told what was found before anything is treated. If you are a chiropractic case and you want to be adjusted the same day, that happens at the first visit. A full verbal report of findings comes at the follow-up, when there has been time to look at everything properly.

Justin adjusts using Rehabilitation-Based Chiropractic, and the choice is made from the exam rather than from habit. Lower-force options exist for every region of the spine, so if a manual adjustment is not right for you — or you simply do not want one — there is another way to get the joint moving. Each technique is described here.

Not every problem is a chiropractic problem. If yours is not, you will be told at the exam and pointed toward the right kind of care.

Justin sees patients at Pure Wellness Newark, 550 Stanton Christiana Rd Ste 302 in Newark. Mon–Fri with a lunch break; Saturday by appointment. Pure Wellness Chiropractic runs five clinics across the state, so if a colleague is a better fit for your case or a different office is an easier drive, the desk will say so.
