Dr. Merrill  Asks some important questions of interest to New York residents - Chiropractor New York Dr. Merrill Asks...

How does headache medication find the headache?
It can't! Chiropractors know that when you ingest a drug and it enters your bloodstream it numbs or deadens your entire body. Chiropractic adjustments, on the other hand, are specific, targeted and delivered with precision.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a New York chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.

Your First Visit to Our New York Practice

Our patients often remark how warm and relaxed the office is.  You'll find we have designed the space to be comfortable and casual to make you feel at home.

New patients are warmly welcomed to our New York chiropractic office.
The Consultation

The purpose of our initial consultation is so we can get to know each other and determine if we can help.

We Listen

We will review your health history, in addition, to listening to your health concerns.  If we don't think we can help, we will tell you.

The Chiropractic Assessment

Our thorough Chiropractic examination might be very different than other health practitioners you have visited.  Our goal is to determine what areas of your spine and Nervous system are involved and related to any of your health challenges.  Range of motion tests, some orthopedic and neurologic tests, leg length analysis and static/motion palpation of your spine are common ways to analyze your "weak links" along the spine.

The Adjustment

In most situations, but, always based on the professional judgement of Dr. Rudin, you will receive your first Chiropractic spinal adjustment.  The first session can vary in time, depending on your history, however, you can plan on at least 30-45 minutes.
