Hello, I’m Dr. Josh! I was born and raised nearby in Nutley, NJ. Other than short stints at Castleton State College in Castleton, Vermont, and at Logan Chiropractic College in St. Louis, Missouri, I’ve lived in New Jersey my whole life. While most people, myself included, don’t consider 7.5 years of schooling a short stint it passed in the blink of an eye! My time in those places has greatly impacted me and is some of the inspiration behind Switchback Chiropractic and Wellness.  Although I wasn’t aware of it at the time, my chiropractic journey started at age 13, all because of a pediatrician visit where they explained to my parents I was exhibiting signs of an early scoliosis. When my mom asked what could be done to prevent it from worsening, she was told they would monitor it as I grew, and if it became worse, they would go to bracing and in more extreme cases, surgery! My mom, looking to be proactive, then took me to see a local chiropractor, Dr. Mario. I didn’t have any pain or discomfort at this point and didn’t mind going, but didn’t understand why. Then, after a couple of weeks of treatment, I noticed that I was getting significantly fewer headaches, which, of course, I never told him in the beginning. When I brought this up during a visit, I then learned how chiropractic is affecting the nervous system to allow your body to function better! Fast forward a quick 12 years, and I was walking across the stage as a chiropractor!  Throughout my time in practice, I have managed large, multi-disciplinary offices that emphasized rehabilitation and worked side by side in a small, family-oriented practice. I have worked alongside physical therapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, DOs, and MDs, and gathered a plethora of skills along the way. Among those skills are a multitude of adjusting and treatment techniques to address all types of cases for patients of all ages, including the Webster technique for pregnant women, Diversified technique, Activator technique, Thompson Drop technique, Logan Basic Technique, and soft tissue techniques such as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and RockTape. I've also started coursework through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) to further my knowledge in pediatric and prenatal care. I’ve treated patients from a week old to 98 years old, athletes, actors, judges, law enforcement, teachers, and everyone in between!   After serving areas of Passaic County and Bergen County, I have now settled back into my home, Essex County, and opened up Switchback Chiropractic and Wellness right in the middle of Caldwell on bustling Bloomfield Ave to serve families of Caldwell, West Caldwell, North Caldwell, Verona, Montclair, Essex Fells, Roseland, Livingston, The Oranges, Fairfield, Cedar Grove and beyond!

If you are a New Jersey native and have lived almost anywhere else, you’ll understand that New Jersey just operates at a different speed. At Switchback Chiropractic and Wellness, I want to help you slow down and focus on creating the best version of yourself.  If you ask any of my friends or family, they will tell you that whatever I do, I go all in, and I want to learn everything I can. My approach to your health journey will be no different. Through learning about you and your goals, then thoughtfully employing chiropractic care, lifestyle changes, nutritional support, and movement, I look forward to supporting you along your journey of health here at Switchback Chiropractic and Wellness.
