Our Practice's Story
Meet our founder, Dr. Brandie Nemchenko and the story of how the practice began.

Formerly known as King of Prussia Family Wellness Center, PC, Experience Chiropractic opened its doors in 2003 providing chiropractic care, massage therapy, and rehabilitation. Driven by a passion to help people live the life they love, without the pain, Dr. Brandie Nemchenko, a chiropractor and former paramedic, opened her first clinic. Her mission was simple – To provide the best care to Philadelphia's Main Line region by offering a diversified menu of services to aid people in regaining their lives and health through evidence-based chiropractic treatment.
The center was different from the beginning. Dr. Brandie & her husband, Dr. Arthur Nemchenko were specially trained in sports medicine – including extremity adjusting, cutting edge modalities like the Erchonia laser and the VForce vibration therapy plate for rehabilitation and custom-made orthotic casting. Their focus was simple. They looked at the entire body as a structure instead of just a spine.
Coming from a strong medical background also makes their practice different. Drs. Nemchenko had no intentions of being chiropractors. Meeting at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Lancaster, Dr. Arthur in ICU and Dr. Brandie in the Emergency Department – the couple was happily working as medical personnel. It wasn’t until after they had their daughter, Alexandra in 1998 that things started to change. “After having Aly, something clicked in me. Before her, I could easily draw blood from babies and small children – and after having her – I would cry. As a mother – my heart physically hurt for them.” As a paramedic – that can’t happen.
After the couple’s daughter Ali broke her leg while dancing and slipped on a book, Aly had a heavy limp. Dr. Brandie recalled, “I just remember people stopping us in toy stores and asking what was wrong with our daughter and why she walked like a duck.” The Nemchenkos took Aly to 3 specialists with the answer only to wait until she was 4 and either rebreak her little leg – or put her in a brace.
“I was devastated because I feared it was permanent. Someone asked me after a few months if I had ever thought of taking her to a chiropractor. I told them they were nuts – what did a chiropractor have to do with a broken leg?” At that point, they were desperate.
“Arthur and I agreed to go in and just listen to the doctor – but he wasn’t going to touch her.” The family was met by a large jolly man who upon coming into the room, Aly teetered right to him. As they watched – he laid her across his lap and he lifted her leg up and down. He called them over to see. Her one leg was markedly longer than the other. The doctor explained that the weight of her hip cast had caused her pelvis to misalign and he showed how the pelvis bone would make her leg appear short due to spasm in the muscles surrounding.
It seemed logical to the couple and they consented to treatment on the spot. The chiropractor placed her back on his lap – lifted her leg and did a gentle push in the area of the dimple of her back. She giggled and he placed her on the floor. Like a new little fawn – she teetered and then walked like nothing happened, normally and without limp.
“I remember he thanked us for the honor of trusting him with adjusting our child. I grabbed him and gave him a huge hug!” In the car on the way back – they decided that that is what they wanted to do. They never wanted another child and parents to go through what they had.

OUR HAND SELECTED TEAM
Originally from Texas, Ally brings just the right amount of sweet southern charm to the Experience Chiropractic team. She LOVES all dogs, and is the proud pup parent of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever / Beagle named Quincy. Ally now lives in West Chester with Quincy and Libby Lou and her husband, whom she met on Words With Friends! They were and still are a perfect match. Along with being our amazing chiropractic assistant, Ally is also a licensed massage therapist and classically trained opera singer. She recently has taken on the role of a a dog pageant mom to highlight her “dogther,” Libby.
Jordan is our “flying squirrel!” She is a total people person and the life of every exam room! Jordan found her passion for helping people be their best, physically, after a few unfortunate accidents that left her with a fractured pelvis and in need of ankle surgery. After she recovered, she pursued her bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. In her free time, she hangs out with her very best friend, a cat named Jasper.
Emily graduated from Temple University in 2018 with a B.A. in Communication Studies with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship. After working in the health and wellness industry doing small business management, she decided to follow her passion for helping others and enrolled in Cortiva Institute’s massage therapy program. She joined our team in June 2021 as a Front Desk Coordinator and Licensed Massage Therapist - you can find her buzzing around the office helping patients. While not in the office practicing photography, doing yoga, and snuggling with her cat, Irvin, and dog, Stella, on the weekend!
The Pups of Experience
We know the title of this section says, "Dogs of Experience Chiropractic." Oliver simply does not care.
Many of you got to know Oliver well during the COVID crisis where he bravely took on the challenge to open his domicile to assist Jordan running the front desk from their home.
Although Oliver would be late to work every day and would start his shift by sleeping soundly for a few hours, he quickly made up ground by making his presence known: biting Jordan's toes, walking across the keyboard while she was trying to talk to patients, or getting caught in a tube or under the deck howling until his humans finally listened to him.
Oliver was bestowed Experience Chiropractic's highest honor - appearing on their website and being the King among the Pups of Experience Chiropractic for his selfless work during a pandemic.
We are not worthy, Oliver. We will never ever be.
Bruno is a triple thick threat. While his dashing good looks are evident, his puppy dog eyes can charm anyone. But don't be fooled, he knows what's up. Bruno can be found lounging on his couch at home - poised to bank and scream like his mentor, Walter the Frenchie, at every single runner that passes by the family home near Valley Forge Park telling them to run faster!
He enjoys treats, cheese, and snuggling but while on duty chasing all the squirrels in the backyard, he cannot be disturbed. A consummate ball chaser, he frequently is disappointed when after 30 seconds - he pops it with all the fervor of excitement attacking it. He is always on to the next goal.
Bruno serves as Director of Security for Experience Chiropractic and resides with his humans, Drs. Arthur and Brandie and their daughter, Nat. He entertains his older sister, Ali who comes home from college, who features him in her infamous Tik Toks.
Walter is the son of Dr. Eric and his wife, Mariah and is under a year old. Despite his young age, Walter holds his own among other pups at daycare. He loves being fit and plays all out - coming home exhausted from hanging out with with his pup squad. He loves long walks with his dad and saying hi to people on the street.
Despite his happy exterior, Walter sometimes when having a bad day frequently resorts to stealing his mom's socks and hiding them under the bed.
As the Director of Physical Fitness at Experience Chiropractic, Walter would like to someday elevate himself to be a chiropractor for other pups, although his lack of thumbs, might hinder his dream.
Until then, you might see Walter around the area with his head jutting out of his dad's car, riding shotgun, ears wildly flapping in the wind - just happy about life just like his mom and dad.
Quincy is our Director of Training at Experience Chiropractic because of his perpetual friendly attitude and playful demeanor.
Quincy resides in West Chester with his mama, Ally and dad, Tommy, and is affectionately named "Q Ball" or "Roo".
He loves snacks and out of all the Pups at Experience has the most training and does many tricks. He's a graduate of dog training and frequents doggy daycare.
While nepotism is common at EC as her big brother Quincy is our Director of Training, Libby is all business when she’s on the job and she’s not afraid to do things “her” way - which includes rearranging things to her liking. While she’s laid back - she secretly loves to be called “Ma’am.” If she doesn’t get what she wants, our team is met with a “hmmph.” Despite her pup status - she can hold her own among the big dogs and always has the last word and sometimes will show her spunky side and is quite the practical joker and instigator. When Libby Loo is not at work, she enjoys long walks, collecting sticks, or swimming and hiking with her big brother and mama, Ally.
Stella is our newest member of Experience Chiropractic as our Director of Customer Experience. Stella is committed to comfort in all things in her personal life with her favorite things in life being her fluffy bed, her cat brother, Irvin, or snacking on artisanal cheese and ice cubes. Born on the 4th of July, she loves people but hates fireworks. Oh the irony! That girl keeps you guessing. High energy and yet an introvert - she rolls very much like Dr. Brandie and needs her time laying in the sun rays to recharge her energy.
