Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN

Excellent doctor
I was treated for back problems about five years ago, and no longer have any recurring pain
Highly recommended

Great Chiropractor! I have been going here for a couple of years, and my only regret is that I didn’t start going to him sooner. I had never been to a chiropractor before, and was nervous, but Dr. Benedikt answered all my questions and helped me feel comfortable with the process. I have had pains in my neck and stress in my lower back for years, and notice an improvement when I go for an adjustment. I sleep better, walk better, and am able to keep up my excercise routine without pain.

I’ve seen my share of chiropractors in my life and finding a good chiropractor is like finding a good mechanic, you keep going back to the same one. My last chiropractor, Dr Phil Wilner, who I was a patient of for more than 10 years and who is a fantastic chiropractor, decided to move his practice to Colorado. That was in 2009.
Anyways for a few years I was in limbo, I tried a few chiropractors but didn’t find anyone who’s adjustments worked for me. At one point I gave up and bought an inversion table. Basically its machine that flips you upside down to stretch and straighten out your back. Unfortunately that only does so much and one day I saw Dr Benedikt on Amazon’s local deals and decided to give him a try since it was close to where I work. The initial consultation was pretty standard stuff but the back adjustment was exactly what I was looking for (muscle stim, upper back adjustment, hip and neck). YMMV but I’ve been a patient of Dr. Benedikt’s for a year and a half. I go for a back adjustment every month or two. The only thing I wish is, my previous chiropractor put heated towels or heat pads over the area where he did the muscle stims. Aside from that I’ve been a happy patient.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE; I am not one to complain or ruin someone’s rep but his greediness and inability to listen to someone’s problems was shocking. Originally went in for a shoulder problem I have, he was talking on the phone making me feel as though I was interrupting him, and WORST part was he completely cracked my neck in the worst possible way when I never asked him to do anything but check my shoulder out. He showed no interest once He demanded the cash upfront and even offered bottle of herbal medicine and next thing you know he charged an extra $ 60 for them when I never wanted them. He said I couldn’t return them because he already opened the bottle ! I went 30 days ago and since then I still can’t move my neck. he didn’t even check my shoulder, just did the usual 1,2 back crack and neck crack without my permission and this resulted in me needing Neck surgery because he tore a muscle on the back left part of the neck. I haven’t been able to sleep, move, or do much of anything because of the agonizing pain in my neck, all because he decided to crack it and get me out of the room as soon as possible and make me make another appointment for two days later when he didn’t even do anything the first meeting.
I now have to go to specialist for Neck problems and focus on neck issues, resulting me in missing work and putting me in a very bad mood all together. Nothing worse than a stiff neck and especially when a chiropractor is the one to create this new injury for being careless.
I always knew chiropractors make sure to make u have reasons to come back to them since it is a business after all… but when I never had neck problems my entire life, never cracked it before… and he suddenly cracks it in the worst way possible when I just want my shoulder to get healed from an accident… I now have to pay for the additional doctor appointments and missing work and being in bad moods, losing sleep.
You changed part of my life in the worst way possible and it’s civil battery when a Chiro touches parts of your body you never allowed them too.
Do I know where Togo from here? No, but I know I won’t be seeing chiropractors anytime soon… If they did actually fix an issue you have, you wouldn’t go back to them and they wouldn’t have any business, so for them to keep you as a customer, it’s not because they care for your body, it’s because they want more money from your insurance.

I found Dr. Howard Benedikt through an Internet search looking for a doctor who could work with pain issues as well as multiple health conditions.
At my first appointment Dr Benedikt evaluated blood tests, did a thorough exam and treatment and gave me hope that the pain I was experiencing was caused by a combination of adrenal burnout coupled with a profound Vitamin D deficiency. In addition to being a NY State licensed chiropractor, Dr. Benedickt also has a Master’s degree in Nutrition and treated my adrenal burnout and pain with specific nutritional therapy, dietary information, and chiropractic adjustments. His hands on work combines soft tissue work, chiropractic adjustment, trigger point therapy, acupuncture points and laser therapy. In a short period of time my pain started to diminish and my overall health improved.
If you’ re looking for a knowledgeable holistic healer who is constantly improving his skills for the betterment of his patients call Dr. Howard Benedickt. You’ll be glad you did

I fell on my back when skiing a couple of days ago, and had severe lower back pain after the fall. Went to Dr. Benedikt, and thankfully, nothing was broken. The Dr. gave me some treatment, and cracked my back to correct my posture. I felt like a new person after seeing Dr. Benedikt.
