Meet the Doc
Dr. Kathleen Petrucci, D.C.
"I had a dream of becoming a Chiropractor since I was a little girl growing up in Yardley, Pa. That dream came true on August 3, 1996 when I graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Mo."
My first experience with Chiropractic was at the age of 6 when my parents took me to see a Chiropractor after falling from a swing set. Now, more then 40 years later I am practicing in the same town I grew up in. Having started as a patient myself, and then working as a Chiropractic assistant to finally becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic, I understand what is like to be a patient and can easily sympathize. I am a Chiropractor with experience and am committed to promoting the health and well being of my patients by leading as a example.
My passion for the Chiropractic lifestyle often seems boundless and I believe that the learning never stops! I am constantly working on improving my skills by going to seminars and embracing the latest technologies.
I treat each person in my office as an individual with a treatment plan created specifically for them. I use a "whole person approach" when taking care of members. By combining the very best hands-on-technique, state of the art physiotherapy procedures, and the highest quality natural vitamins and mineral supplements on the market today, I am able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to good health. I specialize in prenatal care, pediatric care, sports taping, athletic injuries and total wellness care.
We are proud to offer a total wellness approach to healthy living; new cutting edge therapies including the most advanced Laser Therapy technology available; quantum healing solutions using far-infra-red/ion therapy and other effective treatments.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

My goal is to get you to start to move better, eat better and think better!
I want to inspire people to experience better health through better living. To help people make positive life style choices that promotes better health and greater function. I want to lead people to live healthy lifestyles, make better choices therefore preventing illness and disease.
On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my family and they have become my driving force. I am married to a wonderful man who supports me with every thing I do. He has given me the most precious gift in the world - my two children - who I adore more then anything. Having my children has been the most amazing experience of my life. Thanks to receiving Chiropractic care I had wonderful pregnancies, 100% natural child birth - both times -and a truly inspiring unassisted delivery with my second child - in the front seat of our car - no kidding! When you visit our office make sure to ask me about it.
Yours In Health, Your Yardley Chiropractor,
Dr. Petrucci
Dr. Theresa Russo, D.C.
Growing up in Fairless Hills, PA I always knew I became a Doctor of Chiropractic to take care of those I love ~ right in my backyard! With much gratitude, I can now call Optimal Health Center my home (again!) and continue the journey of helping my community. My first experience with Chiropractic care was at a young age, when my Aunt adjusted me for the first time. Then, I worked for Dr. Petrucci right here at OHC as a Therapy Assistant in 2011. I then attended La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA receiving a B.S. in Public Health. With a great path paved for me by Dr. P., I followed in her footsteps to attend Logan University in St. Louis, MO., where I received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree.
My passion for health, exercise, and improving the well-being of my patients extends into the way I view Chiropractic care. It is a way for us to focus on stress management to allow our body to function optimally. Stress comes in many forms, such as thoughts, toxins, and traumas and each person handles these differently. This is why I use a well-rounded approach to patient care including: Chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, functional rehabilitation, and Nutrition. I am also certified in Pediatric and Family Chiropractic care and Functional Medicine.
I love to see a wide range of cases and value patient education and focus on rehabilitation and body mechanics. My time in the Chiropractic profession has been a great learning experience, serving Upper Bucks since 2020. I have expanded my knowledge and skillset to seamlessly blend a holistic and modernized approach to care. In my opinion, this gives patients the best of both worlds in order to maximize results.
My mission is to help restore, regain, and renew all things that make you YOU through Chiropractic, Rehabilitation, and Nutrition. The motto I live by is “be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.”
I currently serve as Treasurer for the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association (PCA). In my spare time, I enjoy being active outdoors, concocting new recipes in my kitchen; and most importantly, spending time with my son and family.
