  • Five Stars Are Not Enough! I came to Clifton Spine and Physical Therapy on the recommendation of my brother. I was experiencing hip pain and discomfort after a weekend of pickleball. It was discovered that I had an arthritic hip. I knew I was in the right hands from day one. “Doctor Jo,” Joelle Manganella, is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also compassionate, patient, and genuinely invested in my recovery. She takes the time to explain every step of my treatment and tailors exercises specifically to my progress. She always challenges me just the right amount. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve seen remarkable improvement. The clinic itself is welcoming and well-equipped, and the entire staff contributes to a positive, supportive environment. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who combines expertise with heart, look no further than Joelle Manganella. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

  • "I have been going here for a few years now. This place treats my back like gold. I have three herniated discs and every now and then they act up. Dr. Pogorelec and his staff are able to treat me on a machine called a DRX9000 which significantly helps my back pain. I usually go once every 2 or 3 weeks on this machine for about 20 minutes. After that I am treated with electro stim and heat pads for 15 minutes. I could not live without this place! "

  • I have been receiving physical therapy from Dr. Joelle Manganella at Clifton Spine and Physical Therapy for months and I'm feeling so much better. She has a great bedside manner and was able to quickly identify the issues that caused my pain. The therapies she prescribd and the strengthening exercises she taught me have made a huge difference in my recovery and pain. This practice is NOT a PT mill like so many places are these days. You will receive personal attention and specific therapies and exercises that she will make sure you do correctly. The office is clean and modern, the office staff are so nice and help you with insurances, you will be treated well and get better fast here!

  • I have been seeing Dr Mike for several years He treats you like family and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to doing adjustments. I am su lucky to have connected with him. Anytime I visit i feel better than when I came in. Lucky for me he brought in a wonderful physical therapist named Joelle. She really knows how the human body and how the different joints, muscles and tendons work together. She is caring and also treats you like family I completely trust her when it comes to rehabbing my back and hip. I have been seeing Joelle for a few months and through hard work with her I am making great progress . I still have a way to go but I am so happy Dr Mike brought her into the practice. If you need a chiropractor or physical therapist look no further
