Where does it hurt?
Tap any point on the body, head to foot, to see what is usually going on there and how it is treated. Tap the neck or the lower back and watch where the pain travels. Manhattan Chiropractic Health Services is a Midtown practice led by Dr. Josef Malkis, D.C.
The areas we treat most
Chiropractic care here is hands-on and specific: an examination first, then adjustment, soft-tissue work and exercise matched to what the exam found. These are the problems that walk through the door most often.
Neck pain
Stiffness, text neck, whiplash and headaches that start at the base of the skull.
Shoulders and upper back
Knots between the blades, a pinched nerve, a shoulder that will not lift.
Lower back pain
Discs, facet joints and the sacroiliac joints. The most common reason people visit.
Sciatica
Pain that runs from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg.
Headaches
Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches that come from the neck.
Sports injuries
Strains, sprains and overuse from running, lifting, cycling and court sports.
Car accidents and whiplash
Neck and back injuries after a collision, including documentation for your claim.
Pregnancy
Low back and pelvic pain as the body changes, with positions adapted for each trimester.
Elbow, wrist and hand
Tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, and the tingling fingers that are really a pinched nerve in the neck.
Jaw and TMJ
Clenching, clicking and jaw pain that travels with neck stiffness and headaches.
Hips
Groin pinching, sacroiliac pain and the deep buttock pain of piriformis syndrome.
Knees and feet
Runner's knee, plantar fasciitis, Achilles stiffness and ankle sprains.
Inside the office
A working treatment room on West 45th Street: adjusting tables, a drop table for lumbar work, decompression and rehab equipment, and the posters every patient ends up reading.
Dr. Josef Malkis, D.C.
A Doctor of Chiropractic trained at Life University, Dr. Malkis has built a Midtown practice around one habit: examining before adjusting. Patients describe the visits as unhurried and specific, and the office as a place where the staff know your name.

A library, not a brochure
Most chiropractic websites tell you to book. This one is written for anyone, anywhere, trying to decide whether chiropractic care is right for them. Read first, book if it makes sense.
