Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment Beyond the Spine

When most people think of chiropractic care, they think spine—and understandably so. But at Vanina Sport & Spine Clinic, we go far beyond traditional spinal treatment. Dr. Scott Vanina has extensive training in the assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of extremity injuries, making him one of the region’s most qualified providers for full-body musculoskeletal care.

As a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians® (DACBSP®)—a designation held by only a few chiropractors in the greater Philadelphia area—Dr. Vanina brings the highest level of sports injury training available in the field. His expertise allows him to treat complex extremity conditions with precision and confidence.

Common Extremity Conditions We Treat

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Ankle sprains and instability
  • Gait abnormalities and walking dysfunction
  • Knee pain and tracking disorders
  • Hip dysfunction and mobility limitations

  • Elbow tendinitis and tendinosis
  • Wrist injuries including De Quervain’s Disease
  • Hand trauma and repetitive strain injuries

Our Approach

Extremity joints—like shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles—can become dysfunctional due to trauma, overuse, poor biomechanics, or compensatory movement patterns. Sprains and strains are common, but the source of pain is often not the root of the problem.

Dr. Vanina uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the true cause of dysfunction and build a targeted care plan. If imaging or specialty referral is needed, he works closely with top physicians across multiple disciplines to ensure you receive the most appropriate care—whether conservative or surgical.

Treatment Goals

  • Restore joint mechanics and range of motion
  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Rehabilitate soft tissue and muscular imbalances
  • Prevent recurrence through movement correction and education
  • Refer to top specialists when necessary for optimal outcomes
