Dr. Kimberly DiDomenicantonio DC
Principal/Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Kimberly DiDomenicantonio holds a bachelor’s degree in Biology and Chemistry and a doctorate in Chiropractic.  Dr. Kimberly DiDomenicantonio opened Synecare in 2004.

Her philosophy on healthcare is based on the “Triangle of Health”.  She believes that a patient can and will be healthy only if all physical, mental/emotional, and chemical/nutritional sides of the triangle are in balance and free from any interference.  Synecare treatment plans are a synergy of Eastern philosophy blended with Western technology.

She believes that every patient is different and that all aspects of their healthcare should be custom tailored to fit their unique biochemistry and genetic makeup.  This is why Dr. Kimberly DiDomenicantonio designed Synecare to be a multi-disciplinary center.  “We can match a patient with the most appropriate and effective treatment plan.”

“I am so pleased with the staff and equipment that we have here at Synecare because it allows us to specialize care for each and every patient.  This allows for a faster recovery and a healthier, happier patient. We have invested so much into our state-of-the-art equipment, and it’s all worth it when we see the results with our patients.”

Dr. Domenic DiDomenicantonio DC, ATC, CSCS, MUA, QME
Principal/Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Domenic DiDomenicantonio holds a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology and a doctorate in Chiropractic.

Dr. Domenic has always been extremely active in sports, and therefore; has great first hand experience in dealing with sports related injuries. His philosophy on care is to treat minor injuries correctly and as non-invasively as possible before they become major ones. Besides treating injuries, he’s also known for his knowledge in peak performance training.

“I designed Synecare so that patients would enjoy therapy instead of thinking of it as a burden. Our patients love coming here, which results in a healthier and stronger patient. My job is to give patients that quality of life back that they had prior to being injured so that they can go back to doing the things they love.”
