550 Stanton Christiana Road, Suite 302
Doctors at Newark
4 chiropractors work out of 550 Stanton Christiana Road, Suite 302. They share an approach but not a specialty, so it is worth two minutes to pick the right one.
UD students, Christiana shift workers, Bear and Glasgow families, prenatal patients seeing Dr. Renaud, and people recovering from auto or work injuries. This is the founding Pure Wellness office — not Silverside Road in Wilmington and not a walk-up on Main Street Newark.

All 4 doctors at this office
Full bio, credentials, and technique detail for each doctor on this bench.

Dr. Joelle Renaud, D.C., ICCSP

Dr. Jessica Cortellino, D.C.

Which one should you ask for?
For ordinary low back or neck pain, whoever has the next opening. All 4 run the same 60-to-90-minute first exam and all of them will tell you if your case belongs with a colleague.
Pregnant or postpartum? Ask for Dr. Joelle Renaud — Webster certification is a separate qualification for prenatal sacral work, and not every chiropractor holds it.
Do not want to be “cracked”? Dr. Eric Marks, Dr. Joelle Renaud, Dr. Jessica Cortellino use instrument, drop-table, or flexion-distraction methods that restore joint motion without a manual thrust. Worth asking for if you are older, have thin bones, are in acute spasm, or simply tense up at the thought.
If you are not sure, say what is wrong when you call (302) 365-5470 and the desk will book you with the right person rather than the next available slot.
What this team can do in Newark
On site at 550 Stanton Christiana Road, Suite 302: chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, spinal decompression, and shockwave in this building.
Between them the Newark doctors are trained in Diversified, Gonstead, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Myofascial Release, Cox Flexion-Distraction, Webster Technique, Activator Methods, Rehabilitation-Based Chiropractic. That breadth is the point — technique is chosen from what the exam finds, so having more than one option in the building means fewer patients get sent away or given an adjustment that does not suit them.
The people who come through this office most are shaped by where it sits: the Routes 4 and 7 / Christiana Mall corridor. That means Christiana Hospital, mall-corridor retail, and warehouse shifts off Route 273, plus Pike Creek remote-work necks and UD library / exam-week posture strain. Hours are Monday–Thursday 8:00am–12:30pm and 2:30pm–6:00pm, Friday 8:00am–1:00pm, Saturday by appointment.
