We work with several professional and college athletes in the area. The weekend warrior-type is also a frequent visitor to our office. When working with athletes our focus is on restoring function, speeding recovery and enhancing future performance – in that order.

ACHIEVING SUPERIOR RESULTS

What makes us different? Simply put – it is the diversity of treatment options working in harmony.

We have assembled a truly unique team of specialists at the NYC/Manhattan-area location of Back and Body Medical consisting of chiropractor David Perna DC, medical doctor Shan Sivendra MD, medical massage therapists, physical therapists, and licensed acupuncturists. Unlike other chiropractors or back pain doctors that advocate their own discipline and approach over others, we don’t play favorites. We are able to provide balanced, evidence-based advice about the therapies most likely to alleviate your pain.

Our doctors and pain relief specialists will sit with you on your first visit and discuss your options. We are able to prescribe pain medications and perform Xrays (if necessary). We are able to craft a conservative care plan around physical therapy and chiropractic treatment. If you need, but cannot tolerate adjustments, we offer much gentler approaches. For muscular issues we can include massage, ultrasound or electrical stimulation in your plan. We are able to advise on surgical approaches. Together we’ll come up with a plan that best suits your pain relief needs and personal preferences.

LOCATED IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN

Convenience isn’t all about location. Getting all your neck and back pain treatment needs addressed under one roof is the real convenience. Rather than trekking from specialist to specialist having to repeat your entire medical history every time and worrying about coordination of care, we’ve consolidated every effective approach to back pain and neck pain in one place. This saves our patients valuable time.

Your priority is recovery and a pain-free life. We want to help you achieve that goal as fast as possible. Sometimes it is well worth traveling a little farther to get superior care and faster results. We frequently have patients come from out of state to receive care.

The New York City subway makes it convenient for everyone. Our Midtown office is located on E 58th Street between Park Avenue and Lexington near the 59th-Lexington subway station.
