Madison Avenue and 40th Street is where Murray Hill meets Midtown East. The New York Public Library and Bryant Park are a block west, Grand Central is two blocks north, and the office towers along Park, Lexington and Third Avenues are all within a short walk. For many patients, that makes this the most convenient chiropractor near Grand Central and Bryant Park. If you work anywhere in this part of Midtown, a lunchtime or after-work appointment is realistic.
The office is in Rm 800 at 280 Madison Ave. It is an easy walk from Murray Hill, Midtown East, Kips Bay and the Grand Central area, which also makes it practical for commuters who pass through Grand Central on the way home. It is the closest Apex Health office for anyone looking for a chiropractor in Murray Hill or Midtown East.
If you are coming from Westchester or Connecticut on Metro-North, the office is a few minutes’ walk from Grand Central.
Monday to Friday: 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM
Saturday and Sunday: Closed
The Midtown office opens at 10 AM, half an hour later than our Chelsea and Downtown offices. If you need an evening slot after 5 PM, book a few days ahead.
Chiropractic care focuses on the spine and the joints around it. Your chiropractor checks how you move, finds the joint or muscle that is causing trouble, and uses hands-on adjustments and other techniques to restore normal motion. Chiropractors in New York are licensed by the New York State Education Department after completing a doctoral degree and passing national board exams.
Office work is hard on the spine: long hours at a desk, a laptop that sits too low, a long commute, and not much time to move during the day. Common reasons people in Midtown see a chiropractor include:
Hours of looking down at a screen load the neck and upper back. Patients usually describe stiffness by mid-afternoon, tension headaches, or pain that spreads into the shoulders. Treatment combines adjustments to the neck and upper back with advice on screen height and posture that you can apply at your desk the same day.
Sitting for most of the day tightens the hips and loads the lower back, and a sudden movement or a heavy bag can tip it into pain. If the pain runs down one leg, that is often sciatica. Your chiropractor examines the lower back, hips and legs to find the cause before treatment starts.
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 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 must complete an accredited graduate program and pass national certification exams before they can practice.
At the Midtown office, patients from Murray Hill, Midtown East and the surrounding offices use acupuncture for back and neck pain, headaches, stress, and recovery from everyday strain. Many 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 are 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.
The Midtown office accepts most major commercial insurance plans, including:
