Dr. Arena was born and raised in holistic healthcare, growing up in his mother’s Chiropractic office. Day in and day out, he saw the power of the Chiropractic adjustment as he witnessed patients crawl into the office and walk out refreshed after having their nervous systems integrated. He received his own first ever adjustment just an hour after being born (yes, adjustments are great for babies too!).
In his education, Dr. Arena studied at Phillips Academy for high school and Cornell University for undergrad, majoring in Nutritional Sciences on the Pre-Med track. He went on study in California at Life West Chiropractic College, graduating as salutatorian. His desire to soak up all the knowledge and try out every technique had him taking most of the electives offered at the school. His goal was always to have as many tools in his toolbox as possible to help his patients. And now he’s using that knowledge and skillset to elevate the healing experiences.
Dr. Arena isn’t your typical Chiropractor. He combines the standard spinal adjusting with extremity adjustments of the arms, legs, ribcage, jaw, and skull to provide a full-body assessment. He also integrates muscle work, traction, laser, nutrition, exercise instruction, functional movement evaluations, ergonomic desk setup consultations, and more to provide the most holistic approach to patient health.
As an athlete for most of his life, Dr. Arena played many sports including baseball, football, wrestling, ultimate frisbee, and even a bit of squash. He’s been through injuries and knows what it’s like to try and regain your function afterwards. That’s what motivated him to get his CCEP (Certified Chiropractic Extremities Practitioner) certification.
After graduating from Life West, he came back home and got his license here in MA. Not long after he started working in a brick and mortar position as an associate, the pandemic struck and his patients started coming in with new complaints and new challenges. He quickly realized the limitations of working in a brick and mortar office and sought out a solution to more fully address the problems his patients were facing.
Enter Innate Integration. Dr. Arena started his mobile practice and brought health care back to its roots. Now patients have more one-on-one doctor time during visits and they’re able to show him the challenges they’re having right there in the comfort of home or the convenience of work. Patients can rest easy knowing they have someone who’s there to help them heal in the short term and then maintain that wellness for the rest of their lives.
Having hit his stride in practice, Dr. Arena decided to take his perspective on health to the next level. He went to study under Dr. Garcia to learn about the amazing practice of biomagnetism and become certified. Now, he’s using the power of magnets to help promote proper pH balance in the body. Ever-expanding his toolbox, biomagnetism is a game-changer.
Healing has always been a passion for Dr. Arena and he truly loves to elevate the health of those around him. So book in a call today and ask him about an aspect of health you’re interested in!
