What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a natural approach to healthcare that treats the underlying cause of pain and discomfort without the use of drugs and surgery.

Chiropractor NYC Dr. Neel Kumar provides you with a comprehensive treatment plan getting you out of pain quickly and promoting functionality so you can perform at your optimum potential. Our office is located at 6 East 45th Street #305, New York, NY 10017, just steps from Grand Central Terminal in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, so it's easy to fit an appointment around your workday or commute.

Chiropractic emphasizes care of the human frame which includes the spinal column. Ideally the spinal column should be symmetrical, flexible, and properly aligned. This allows the body to function properly at an optimal level. Keeping a properly aligned and flexible spine helps improve posture and mobility, which is important to your overall health and well-being, and there is a lot you can do to help maintain that balance.

Breathing, strength, coordination, and energy expenditure are directly influenced by spinal alignment. If you have a rotated spine, high hip, or high shoulder, you will need to expend more energy doing everyday simple tasks like walking and lifting. As a result, you'll feel fatigued and will be prone to developing back pain.

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Chiropractic adjustments allow your body is to be more efficient so there is less wear and tear on the musculoskeletal system.

Chiropractic adjustments typically consists of a series of spinal manipulations utilizing a gentle hand delivered low force and high velocity motion to the affected vertebrae. This helps facilitate proper alignment and improves flexibility of the spine and the associated muscles

A poorly aligned spine is more susceptible to degenerative changes and injury due to uneven body weight distribution. This over time, can eventually erode intervertebral discs and joints.

Abnormal spinal alignment and movement can also degrade the function of nerves known as proprioceptors, which are responsible for back muscle coordination and reflexes that help us maintain proper posture.

What to Expect From Chiropractic Care
