Dr. John Nowak Chiropractor

Meet Dr. John Nowak

Buffalo, NY Chiropractic Care I was born and raised in Buffalo. I went to St. Bernard's grammar school, South Park High School, and Erie Community College. I decided to further my studies and went to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa, and graduated with honors. Even though I was going to college in Iowa, my heart was always with the intention of going back to Buffalo to practice chiropractic. I started as a chiropractor in Buffalo 1981.

I enjoy tennis, billiards, chess, weightlifting, and martial arts. I found out that with nutrition, exercise, and chiropractic is the key to wellness.

Dr. Nowak is a 1980 Palmer Graduate with over 39 years experience!
