NJ Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Wellness Center

A chiropractic and physical therapy practice

At 3000 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, suite 316, NJ Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Wellness Center brings two professional disciplines together. Rummel G. Mendoza is the owner and chiropractor; Desiree Mendoza directs physical therapy. They opened their Jersey City practice together after working in New York and New Jersey. The office telephone is 201-963-0200.

The people behind the office

Rummel Mendoza studied biology and chiropractic at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. His professional background includes work with sports, occupational and automobile injuries. Desiree Mendoza studied physical therapy at Our Lady of Fatima University in the Philippines and later earned a doctorate in physical therapy at Stony Brook. The practice describes her experience in rehabilitation, home health and skilled nursing settings.

Those different backgrounds matter to someone comparing a chiropractic visit with a rehabilitation program: a chiropractor and a physical therapist have different training and roles. The office lists both chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy, together with corrective exercises. Its information also describes care after vehicle accidents. The patient can discuss which professional will conduct the examination and what each proposed service involves.

Planning a visit

The office is in suite 316 of the Kennedy Boulevard building. Public directories give conflicting schedules, particularly for Saturday; a current time should be arranged through the office rather than inferred from an older directory. Its public listing identifies the business by Rummel Mendoza's name, while the practice itself uses the longer chiropractic and physical therapy name.

Recent visitors describe a team that listens and takes time with questions. One photograph published by the owner in 2022 shows treatment tables in the office; it records the space at that time and is not evidence of its present configuration.
