- Your goals set the plan. Relief, correction or long-term wellness: you choose, and we guide.

A dedicated visit, within a few days, to walk through every finding and agree on a care plan together.
Neighbors who'd recommend us
“Every couple of months I'd have a back ‘blowout’ and couldn't move for days. Since I've been seeing Dr. Paci I haven't had one.”
“After just a few weeks of treatment my neck and back felt 80–90% better. Now the pain is almost completely gone!”
“I lift heavy things all day, so the adjustments are wonderful. Dr. Paci is great. I will not stop being adjusted again.”

A small team that knows you by name
Dr. Paci opened his own practice in Hagerstown after years in chiropractic care nearby. Many of our patients have been with us for more than a decade.
Attilio A. Paci, D.C.
Dr. Paci grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania as an outdoorsman and high school wrestler. He started seeing a chiropractor at a young age and was so impressed by the results that he decided to become one.
He earned his B.S. from Lock Haven University, where he wrestled and co-founded the fly-fishing club, then his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College with honors. At Palmer he trained with specialists in extremity adjusting and rehabilitation and joined a clinical outreach program in Bolivia and Peru.
Outside the office he volunteers with local wrestling programs and serves on the board of the Falling Springs chapter of Trout Unlimited. He lives in Greencastle, PA, with his wife Brittny and their children Emma, Joseph and Claire.

Bright, calm and easy to find
Everything you need under one roof
Modern analysis, specific adjustments and supportive therapies, so you don't have to coordinate care across three different offices.
Specific spinal adjustments
The heart of what we do. Dr. Paci uses specific, scientific adjustments to restore motion and reduce interference in your nervous system, tailored to your age, condition and comfort level.
Thermal & surface EMG scans
Painless computerized scans measure heat and muscle activity along your spine, giving us a baseline to track your progress.
On-site X-ray
Spinal X-rays in our office show alignment, spinal health and how long a problem may have been developing.
Muscle stimulation therapy
Gentle electrical stimulation relaxes tight muscles and eases pain between adjustments.
Therapeutic massage
Sports, deep tissue, Swedish, medical and pregnancy massage with Tom Rodgers, LMT. Hot stone therapy is included at no extra cost.
Custom foot orthotics
Made-for-you inserts that support your arches and improve how your body carries weight from the ground up.
Nutritional guidance
Practical advice and quality supplements to support healing and everyday energy.
Wellness care
Once you feel better, periodic adjustments help keep you that way. Many families come in together.
Frequently asked
Do I need a referral?
No. You can call and schedule directly. If you have insurance that requires a referral, our billing team can help you check.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We work with many plans, including CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and Highmark. Call with your card handy and Christy will review your coverage before your first visit.
Does an adjustment hurt?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable and many feel relief right away. Some mild soreness for a day is normal early on, much like after a new workout.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your condition and your goals. You'll get a clear recommendation at your Report of Findings, and we revisit the plan as you improve.
I was in a car accident. Can you help?
Yes. Neck and back injuries from collisions can linger for months. We document your exam carefully so you have a clear record of your injury and progress.
Gentle care from the very beginning
Dr. Paci is Webster certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Adjustments for expecting moms, babies and kids are gentle, specific and very different from adult care.
Comfort for mom
Relief from back and leg pain as your body changes. The Webster technique helps balance the pelvis, which may give baby more room to settle into a good position.
A gentle start
Birth can be hard on a tiny spine. Infant adjustments use the pressure you'd use to test a ripe tomato: safe, quick and comfortable.
Learning to walk
First steps bring new loads and plenty of tumbles. A check-up helps keep a growing spine moving well.
Backpacks to ball fields
Desks, screens, heavy bags and sports all stress young spines. Care helps kids stay active and comfortable.
Is chiropractic safe for my child?
Yes. Pediatric adjustments are adapted to a child's size and development, and Dr. Paci explains each step before he begins. Most children enjoy their visits.
- X-rays are rarely needed for children.
- Parents stay in the room for every visit.
- A separate health record for kids 10 and under keeps intake simple.
Your first visit, step by step
We set aside time to do this right. Plan on about an hour for your first visit and up to an hour for your Report of Findings a few days later.
We listen, then we look
We review your health history and goals, then Dr. Paci examines your spine by hand, checking alignment, curves and muscle tone.
Thermal and surface EMG
Heat readings along the spine reflect how your nervous system controls circulation. Surface EMG measures muscle activity. Both are painless and give us a baseline.
A clear picture of your spine
Most adults receive three spinal X-rays on-site. We don't take them during pregnancy, for most children, or if you have recent usable films.
Your plan, explained
Within a few days, we sit down together to review every result, answer questions and agree on a care plan and schedule.
Save time: fill out your forms first
Complete your health record before you arrive. Bring a photo ID, your insurance card and any recent X-rays or MRI reports.
Patient health record
For patients 11 and older. This replaces the printable PDF so you can finish it on your phone before your appointment.
