“I was majoring in chemistry at Villanova University when my path turned to chiropractic. I was going on interviews to be a pharmaceutical sales representative, and they always asked me what I wanted to be doing in five years. My answer was always the same: “I want to be helping people, enjoying my work, while making a difference.”
“I had met some chiropractors that truly enjoyed what they did and loved their work. I was so amazed by the concept of helping people just by using your hands. It was then I decided to apply to chiropractic college.”
Dr. Quigley also has adjusted many top-performing celebrities, including members of the Eagles, Duran Duran, Die Antwoord, players on the Red Sox, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Marathon, and worked on several movie sets, most recently for the movie Central Intelligence.
Dr. Chris attended New York Chiropractic College. While there, he learned many chiropractic techniques to help a wide spectrum of people.
He enjoyed learning about the healing abilities the body naturally has and how chiropractors help the body to function better. He also met a few chiropractors that became mentors to him and helped him set up his own successful practice.
Dr. Quigley recently completed a fellowship in Primary Spine Care. The Fellowship is Certified in Joint Providership from the State University of New York at Buffalo, Jacobs School of Medicine, Office of Continuing Medical Education, Cleveland University Kansas City, College of Chiropractic, and the Academy of Chiropractic. It is the first joint providership program between medical and chiropractic academia.
The Fellowship Program is a 2-year intensive program on the spine and teaches the latest research findings in managing trauma cases and pain management, advanced imaging, collaboration with surgeons to help prevent surgery, and specializing in locating “before non-evident” causes of the pain.
He earned his certification in chiropractic spinal trauma from Life West University and the international chiropractors association 1998.
He has additional certification in caring for spinal trauma patients from the International Chiropractors Association Division of Applied Sciences and Life West University. This allows Dr. Quigley to offer the latest techniques based upon peer-reviewed research when caring for his patients, while also drawing from 36 years of practice experience.
When he’s not seeing patients, Dr. Chris is always working to improve his health and the health of his family. He’s very involved in physical fitness and nutrition. He enjoys cycling, soccer, baseball, and is a 3rd-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
He takes well over the required amount of continuing education each year to continually learn more about chiropractic. He enjoys reading books that teach him more about how our bodies function and tries to constantly improve his patient’s care.
He and his family get regular weekly chiropractic care, and Dr. Chris has only taken two sick days in nearly 36 years!
Dr. Chris is a big supporter of the Pine Street Inn and the Wellness for All Foundation for underprivileged children. He has raised and donated thousands of dollars through his corporate wellness programs. We participate in yearly coat drives for both Pine Street Inn and Rosie’s Place.
Dr. Chris is a member of the Beacon Hill Civic Association. He is a nationally known lecturer who speaks to the legal profession on medical-legal standards as well as local businesses and institutions on healthy living. He has been recognized by the Academy of Chiropractic as a clinician of excellence and has been awarded the Distinguished Service Citation by the New York Chiropractic College as well as numerous other awards.
