Rhino Chiropractic Center
Rhino Chiropractic Center is a chiropractic office on Germantown Avenue in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia, run by Dr. Damien Ciasullo, DC. The practice offers what it calls a wellness based approach to life through chiropractic, and Dr. Damien writes that he wants patients to feel two things when they first walk in: a warm, friendly, non-clinical environment, and an educational, engaging atmosphere where you feel comfortable participating in your own care. The office is built around the idea that the integrity and maintenance of the nervous system is the single most crucial and often overlooked aspect of a person's ability to thrive, and its work centers on detecting and correcting subluxations, which the practice notes can occur at any age and time of life. Education is described as the cornerstone of the care here, and the practice runs weekly New Member Orientation classes covering how chiropractic works and how to live a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Damien has been a distinguished certified member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association since 2001 and regularly attends seminars to further his technique. In 2026 he was joined in the practice by Dr. Sal Scutti, whom he first adjusted at age 15. Rather than working through insurance, Rhino Chiropractic uses a membership fee structure so that care stays convenient, accessible and affordable, and the practice states that it only answers to the people it serves. Regular adjustments are walk-in style during open adjustment hours with no appointment needed, though first visits must be arranged by phone or email.

FAQs
Do I need an appointment?
Not for regular adjustments. The office runs walk-in style adjustment hours and states that appointments are not necessary, with visits described as brief but focused encounters and minimal wait time. First visits are different and must be arranged in advance by phone or email, since the practice reserves several time slots every week specifically for initial visits.
What happens on my first visit?
Call 215-844-4400 or email the office to schedule a consultation. Dr. Damien will meet with you, go over your paperwork, explain the purpose and approach of that day's visit and perform a specific chiropractic assessment. If an adjustment is necessary, you can be adjusted at that time. You will leave with information about the office and where subluxations were discovered on the visit. Expect to spend about 45 to 60 minutes including exam and consult time. The first visit is $50.
Do you take insurance?
No. The site states that the practice no longer accepts or bills any insurance, and that this applies to all insurance including personal, work comp and auto. Memberships are not an insurance program, and no insurance will be billed or submitted by either the office or the member. The site notes that Medicare and other third party insurance do not cover or support wellness and maintenance care. Flex spending accounts and health savings accounts are allowed for any payment option.
How much does it cost?
The first visit is $50. If you would rather pay per visit, the site lists $40 per visit for an individual and $70 per couple, paid at the time of visit by cash, check, HSA or charge. If an adult is getting adjusted that day, children are $20 per child, and a large family is capped at $90. Try Us Out memberships, typically covering the first 4 to 8 weeks of care, are $159 a month for an individual and $199 a month for a family. Maintenance memberships for couples and families are listed at $99 a month with auto debit or ACH, and a maintenance option with auto debit is listed at $149 a month.
What is included in a membership?
The membership fee covers full access to the office, which the site lists as your consultation, up to 12 chiropractic checks per month and the weekly New Member Orientation classes. Memberships are meant to provide non-therapeutic chiropractic spinal care without regard to symptoms or conditions. During the first week of care all new members must attend a New Member Orientation to be eligible for any membership fee.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. The site describes the maintenance membership as an honor agreement for people who want maintenance chiropractic care at an affordable fee, states that there is no contract to sign, and says it can be paused or cancelled anytime. The monthly auto-debit membership is available for individuals, couples and families, and there is also a single month option and a per visit option.
Do you see children and families?
Yes. Dr. Damien has been a distinguished certified member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association since 2001 and writes that he has always enjoyed working with people of all ages, with a special place in his heart for those who are bringing new life into the world and those who are new to the world.
