Mary Jo Marraffa DC
Dr. Marraffa has been practicing chiropractic in Worthington, Ohio since 1995. She received her Degree in Chiropractic from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 1986. Dr. Marraffa believes in a wholistic approach to your care and works with you to create well rounded treatment. To introduce and share her unique approach to your health, here is a note from Mary Jo:
"Hello! Thank you for checking out our practice! I love what I do – being part of the healing process with patients as they learn about their bodies and regain their health.
“As a graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic, with over 39 years of experience, I have recognized an essential truth about the body’s healing process. The body will heal itself if given the structural, nutritional and emotional energetic support it needs. I have seen on a daily basis that disease and discomfort come from imbalances caused by the accumulated stressors of daily living.
The unique character of my practice is a wholistic perspective to your health issues based upon a thorough examination and evaluation of your health information and history. From this information, I look for underlying causes to the symptoms that you are presenting in your body.
In this healing relationship, I see my role as an investigator of problems, a provider of care and educator to patients about their bodies and their bodies’ needs. I see your role as a patient to communicate with me about your body. In addition, part of your role is to accept and respond to the challenges and supports given for healing to happen.
I use a team approach to providing care and believe that the coordination and integration of health care is essential to your overall health and well-being. The Wholistic approach means coordinating with providers such as massage therapists within our office to other health care professionals in the larger community. We integrate information and coordinate a healing plan based on information from wherever you are seeking professional health care.
We also believe that you need the best and most appropriate care for your specific needs. If I believe that you will be better served by someone else outside of my practice, you will be referred to other health care professionals.”
Sabrina von Netzer LMT, CNMT (Certified Neuromuscular Therapist)
Sabrina has always been fascinated with the human body and how it moves. She works hard to understand how her client’s bodies are working so that she can help them better address their soft tissues issues. Sabrina looks at the whole body and how the client uses it in daily life to then discuss ways of improvement and easing acute or chronic pain.
She has many techniques she can use when working with a client – posture assessment, myofascial release, deep tissue massage, therapeutic and neuromuscular therapy.
Her passion about working where anatomy, physiology, health and wellbeing intersect fuels her desire to work with people to improve the quality of their life through massage therapy.
She enjoys working with clients who want to actively get better, are open to suggestions and motivated to do the work outside of their sessions.
“Massage is a wonderful tool, but it is the day-to-day work that an individual does for themselves that is the real magic.”
