Our highly skilled chiropractor team, Drs. Van Blarcom and Shave, employ natural healing remedies, avoiding risky invasive surgery whenever possible. We treat repetitive motion injuries to quickly relieve pain, while also creating a longer term program of natural solutions (without surgery or medications) to help you continue a wonderful, pain free quality of life.

Repetitive motion pain, e.g., muscle strains, is the result of the punishment our bodies face during our regular daily lives. Even just long daily commutes to/from work can increase back, neck and spinal area pain. Our pain management program addresses your symptoms and the root causes of your discomfort.

Highly conditioned professional athletes suffer pulled muscles, sprained joints (elbows, knees, shoulders, ankles, and spines) and stretched or torn ligaments on a frequent basis. However, those of us engaging in somewhat less intense physical activity still risk overuse of our muscles and joints, resulting in uncomfortable pain.

Enduring even minimal or moderate pressure can generate severe back discomfort. Causes of this pain can come from a variety of sources, including a herniated disc, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, small fractures, spinal deformities, e.g., curvature, or compression fractures.

Solutions for Pain Relief

One solution that our Midtown West Manhattan patients treasure is medical massage therapy. Our chiropractor may recommend this treatment for back, neck and spinal pain and to further your goal towards total wellness. Our busy patients also enjoy stress relief and total body relaxation from this therapy.

Medical massage therapy can also be very instrumental in preventative care from future injuries and painful symptoms. It is effective as a complement to chiropractic adjustments in the overall care and wellness provided through each one of our pain management plans.
