About Susan Plank, DC - Norwin Wellness Center
Dr. Susan Plank's Norwin Wellness Center in North Huntingdon takes a unique, holistic approach to weight loss by addressing the connection between spinal health, nervous system function, and metabolic wellness. As a licensed chiropractor with specialized training in nutrition and weight management, Dr. Plank understands that true health requires addressing the body as an integrated system rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

Why Choose Susan Plank, DC - Norwin Wellness Center
What makes Dr. Plank's approach unique is the integration of chiropractic care with weight loss treatment, addressing root causes that many traditional programs miss. Research shows that spinal health and nervous system function directly impact metabolism, hormone production, and stress response - all critical factors in successful weight management.
Dr. Plank's personalized care means you receive treatment that addresses your specific health history and current challenges. Her holistic approach often helps patients who have struggled with other weight loss methods by identifying and treating underlying issues that were preventing success. The combination of improved spinal health and proper nutrition often results in not just weight loss, but increased energy, better sleep, and improved overall well-being.
Insurance & Pricing
Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care, though coverage for nutritional counseling varies by provider. We'll help verify your benefits and maximize your insurance coverage where possible. For services not covered by insurance, we offer reasonable self-pay rates and payment plan options.
Our integrated treatment packages provide good value by combining multiple services that address different aspects of your health. We believe that investing in comprehensive care that addresses root causes is more cost-effective than treating symptoms individually over time.
First-Time Patient Tips
Prepare for your initial consultation by bringing any relevant medical records, including previous chiropractic treatments, recent lab work, and current medications. Think about your health history, including any injuries, chronic pain, or stress factors that might be affecting your overall wellness and weight management efforts.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for physical examination and potential chiropractic treatment. Be prepared to discuss not just your weight loss goals, but also any pain, energy issues, sleep problems, or other health concerns you may have. Dr. Plank's holistic approach means she'll want to understand your complete health picture to provide the most effective treatment.
