Cara K. Hillwig, MS, DC
Compassionate Chiropractic Care: Dr. Hillwig focuses on getting you get better as quickly-and as gently-as possible. From the first visit, the goal is to empower you to achieve and maintain your health objectives on your own, from long-term pain relief to improved physical mobility and greater sports performance.

Your treatment regimen is personalized to your needs, abilities and interests. Custom Tailored Nutrition: Tired of the "one-size-fits-all" approach to dieting or supplementing? Dr. Hillwig's holistic approach takes into account your unique health factors including your medical history, examination, and lab work (where applicable) to design highly individualized nutritional recommendations.
Services
Typical initial appointments are $120 and follow-up treatments are $50/session. Health savings plans (HSAs/FSAs) may be used for payment, and partial reimbursement to you from your insurance may be possible as many health plans offer coverage for chiropractic care. Dr. Hillwig is currently an out-of-network provider for Blue Cross / Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana, Devon as well as several other companies.
My approach to chiropractic-as to health in general-is to restore function where function has become impaired. The functional problem may be easily attributed to a specific injury.

However, function can be compromised by any one or combination of other factors - including poor ergonomics over a longer period of time (such as sitting day in and day out at a poorly designed workstation), continual wear and tear and, most certainly, by emotional stress.When your natural functions are compromised, your body tells you that help is needed.
Do a simple search on the web and you'll find nutrition information and diet advice everywhere. You may wonder: a) is the information even valid and/or b) does any of it actually apply to YOU? Here's where working with a qualified nutritionist may help. After a detailed history and examination, I'll work to help you sort out what foods YOU should-and should not-eat.

I love Cara! I started seeing her when I was pregnant with my first and then again with my second. Always felt relief from pelvis and low back pain after adjustments. She is nurturing and talented! If I get pregnant again (which hopefully won't be anytime soon) I will definitely be going back to see her :)

I have been to other chiropractors before who all told me a have a shorter leg (it's not noticeable, but affects my gait when walking). I always felt like it was just something I has to accept- one slightly chubbier leg. But when I went to Dr. Hillwig for the first time, she really took her time and obtained an extensive history. She pieced the puzzle of my story together and we realized my entire right side of my body is actually tightened from my neck to my leg ( from car accident years ago). To make a long story short, Dr. Hillwig has changed the way I view myself and feel bc by her adjusting

When I moved to the Philadelphia area and was experiencing some health issues, I did research and found Cara. Her office is close by, hours flexible, and knowledge of the body remarkable. Every appointment she is warm, friendly, and makes me feel so cared for. Quite often she is able to nail now my problem areas without me even telling her. I really appreciate how she gives a thorough assessment of the body each visit to cater the adjustments accordingly. She does everything manually (including fantastic bodywork!) and takes a holistic approach in terms of the body. In two years of seeing Cara

Dr. Hillwig was recommended to me from my doula. She has a wonderful demeanor and is very detailed in her explanation in what she'd is doing, this was my first time to a chiropractor do I was very hesitant on having anyone manipulate my back, but i felt immediate results! She is one of a few chiropractors versed in the Webster method. She helped relieved my bulged disc sciatic during the end if my pregnancy. She was also very flexible with my schedule, she came in on a Saturday for me since I was unable to make it out to her one week! I highly recommend her to anyone that has back problems
