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

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more New York parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.

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.
