Local Chiropractor Leads Legislative Push for HB1106 – Expanding Safe, Efficient Patient Care

Representing Chambersburg and the South Central Pennsylvania community, Dr. Daniel Nigrelli joined colleagues from across the Commonwealth for PCA’s 2025 Lobby Day, where he voiced his strong support for House Bill 1106. As a PCA Board Member and practicing chiropractor, Dr. Nigrelli sees firsthand the operational barriers outdated regulations place on modern care delivery.

“HB1106 doesn’t ask for more—it asks for smarter,” said Dr. Nigrelli. “Our training equips us to lead care teams, but current Pennsylvania law restricts us from delegating even the most basic therapeutic procedures to certified staff.”

HB1106, led by Prime Sponsor Representative Lisa Borowski, is a bipartisan bill backed by over 30 legislative cosponsors. It would allow chiropractors to delegate basic rehabilitative procedures, such as guided exercise or traction, to trained support staff under direct supervision. These updates align with national standards and promote patient access and care efficiency, particularly in underserved regions.

A graduate of Logan University and DeSales University, Dr. Nigrelli brings both clinical skill and leadership experience to his work. He is trained in the McKenzie Method, Cox Flexion Distraction, SFMA, and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. At his Chambersburg clinic, he delivers evidence-based, patient-centered care tailored to individual needs.

“As a board member of the PCA, my commitment is to patients and providers alike,” Dr. Nigrelli added. “HB1106 gives chiropractors the legal tools to care for more people, without compromising safety or standards.”

The Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association applauds Dr. Nigrelli’s leadership, clinical excellence, and his continued advocacy for modernizing chiropractic care across the state.
