SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Family First Chiropractic One of the Region’s Best Kept Secrets W hen I first spoke with Dr. Marry, he related two things to me that he feels are most important. First, his faith. He and his wife both have a strong Christian faith and believe that it should underpin all that they set out to do. The second is, enjoy what you do. Dr. Marry explained that he might walk into an adjusting room and meet an 85-year-old runner with a sore knee, only to go to the next room and evaluate a newborn baby and new mom to ensure that the stress of birth isn’t slowing their recoveries. “About half of my practice is pediatric because the earlier we can evaluate the nervous system, the better the outcomes for those patients,” he said. “Focusing on their nervous system is key and will be the focus of all healthcare practitioners moving forward, regardless of the symptoms the patients present with.” A graduate of Parker School of Dr. Jonas E. Marry Chiropractic, Dr. Marry’s postgraduate studies include pediatrics, sports medicine, and functional neurology. He has served as the head instructor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Osher Lifelong Learning program, presented at Allegheny General Hospital’s Symposium on Spinal Health as well as the Pennsylvania Counselors Association on the neurology of mental health, and is currently the Medical Chair for Impacted Inc. Bringing neurology-based chiropractic to all patients has been a goal of his for quite some time, especially for younger patients who compete at high levels but don’t have access to the diagnostic testing that professional athletes do. “We have worked with Olympic athletes, international-level martial artists, baseball and football players. But our most common sports-related patient is the Little League and high school athlete,” Dr. Marry said. “We want to make sure all youngsters get accurately diagnosed and get the appropriate level of care because that’s significant to their outcomes.” In addition to traditional chiropractic care, Family First Chiropractic also stresses nutrition, cold laser therapy, complete lab testing, bio and neurofeedback and more to get the best overall picture of your health. The staff works with each patient individually to come up with a plan of action to re-establish health and healing as well as provide ongoing teaching and training for performance and prevention. “My wife and I started this practice together. We came back to Pittsburgh to be closer to our family, and we view our patients as our extended family,” Dr. Marry said. “That’s why we chose the name Family First for the practice. It’s more than a name; it’s what we believe.” For more information on Family First Chiropractic, including all the services provided, go to the website at familyfirstchiro.net, where you can also set up an appointment for a free consultation.
