Chiropractor & Acupuncture in Chelsea, NYC

Our Chelsea office is at 37 W 20th St, #1010, New York, NY 10011, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. It sits right where Chelsea turns into the Flatiron District, which is why patients from both neighborhoods end up at the same front desk. Chiropractors and acupuncturists work here side by side, so you can come in for an adjustment, an acupuncture session, or both on the same day. We take most major insurance plans and stay open until 7:30 PM on weekdays.

Chiropractic care in Chelsea

Chiropractic care is about the spine and the joints around it. Your chiropractor watches how you move, finds the joint or muscle that is causing trouble, and uses hands-on adjustments and other techniques to get it moving normally again. Chiropractors in New York are licensed by the New York State Education Department after finishing a doctoral degree and passing national board exams.

Common reasons people in Chelsea and the rest of Manhattan see a chiropractor include:

What happens at your first chiropractic visit? Your chiropractor takes a history, checks your posture and range of motion, and explains what is most likely going on. If chiropractic care is a good fit, treatment usually starts the same day. If it is not, we say so and point you to the right kind of provider.

Acupuncture in Chelsea

Acupuncture comes from traditional Chinese medicine and uses very thin, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to ease pain and tension. In New York, acupuncturists are licensed by the State Education Department and have to complete an accredited graduate program and pass national certification exams before they can practice.

Patients from all over Manhattan use acupuncture at our Chelsea office for back and neck pain, headaches, stress, and recovery from everyday strain. A lot of them pair it with chiropractic care. A typical plan might be an adjustment followed by an acupuncture session in the same visit, so the joints and the muscles around them get treated together.

Can you get chiropractic and acupuncture on the same day? Yes. Both providers are in the same office, so you can book them back to back, and they plan the two treatments together.
