Life Chiropractic

Dr. Lila Wolfe is the sweetest and most amazing chiropractor ever. I never had any serious back problems, but I was feeling stiff and misaligned which was annoying in my yoga practise — plus sometimes my back muscles would just get really tight and sore (which I thought was just part of me working out so much, but turns out it was due to misalignment). I knew that my pelvis was tilted forward a bit as various yoga teachers had told me that was the cause of my stiffness. So I felt overly prepared when I walked in into my first exam. Dr. Lila Wolfe listened to me bragging about all my little pains and issues, and then examined me very thoroughly. She immediately found out that the stiffness I was experiencing wasn’t due to my muscles not being stretchy enough as I had always thought — it was because my lumbar spine was completely locked, thus not allowing much movement and resulting in my chest & shoulders always making these crackling and popping noises when I stretched (again I thought that was just normal.). Also she found out that my pelvis was not only tilted forward, but also twisted to one side which suddenly explained why I always hold my head to one side (and I thought that was just a little spleen I had).
After hanging out on the super relaxing back-​stretch-​table-​machine that warms up the spine for the adjustments (seriously, this table is SO WONDERFUL!), she adjusted my middle back — CRACK it made and suddenly I felt a rise of energy going through my body. As an avid yoga practitioner I know how much body and emotions go hand in hand, but additionally I learned that because all major nerves run through the spine, basically all inner organs are also connected to a poor posture. After that middle-​back crack, she also adjusted my hip and my shoulders/​neck and helped to promote the natural curve in my neck — sitting in front of a computer all day and looking down on my phone, my head was hanging down a little and I got headaches on a regular base. Well, that got significantly better through the adjustments!
Dr. Lila Wolfe took her time to explain everything in detail and answer all my questions (and believe me, I had a lot of questions!).
The best thing though happened in the next few days — my spine suddenly felt all bouncy and wonderful, the stiffness of my spine was gone and I finally could do all the fancy yoga poses I always thought just weren’t for me — the unlocking of my middle back sections truly did wonders! Other side effects — I don’t feel stiff anymore when I get out of bed in the morning (well, I thought that was just the effect of getting older), I look skinnier (because my hips were tilted forward, my stomach was always pushed out as well — standing up straight suddenly makes me look like a mega babe!), and am so crazily flexible all of a sudden that my yoga teacher is jealous ;)
Even though everything feels great even after the first visit, unfortunately the unhealthy habits and muscle memory need a bit more work than that. Of course I continued to sit in front of computers all day, so that I needed more adjustments. If you are looking for a one-​time-​fix, this might not be for you. However, each time your body get adjusted, it lasts a little bit longer — I’ve been five times now and feel and act way straighter, are much more flexible, and have learned so much about my body.
Additionally, Dr. Lila Wolfe is a super charming person, a great listener, and a fascinating character. Highly recommended to come here!

This is my second review of Life Chiropractic because one just ISN’T ENOUGH! Dr. Lila Wolfe is the best chiropractor there is (I would know; I’ve seen so many).
But I’m dedicating this review to her office manager Renee. She is truly one of the warmest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with — and she is really on top of everything. From the moment you walk through the door you are greeted by this bad ass angel from heaven who makes you feel right at home and takes good care of you! I simply love every minute I get to spend in this place!

Best of the Best! My chiro for more than a decade. And Rene the office manager is an angel from Heaven.

My visit started a bit weird but ended great. I really wanted to keep the 5 star rhythm going, but it just wouldn’t feel right. Let me break it down.
I purchased a Groupon for $ 39 which includes a consultation, an exam and 1 adjustment. I called immediately after purchasing and set a late appointment for the following Tuesday. The receptionist informed me Tuesdays were the only days that the Dr. is available for late appointments. She had 6:15, which was too early since I get out at 6, and 6:30 wasn’t available so she told me 7 pm will do — just try to get there earlier than 7. Cool, I can do that I can be there by 6:30−45, I thought.
I arrived at 6:45 and I immediately got weird vibes from the girl up front — as if they weren’t expecting me. The receptionist (different from the one I spoke with whose name turned out to be Renee) said she had me down for 6:30. I told her it was for 7 and I was told to come earlier. She tells me they close at 7 but it should be fine. OK! I get to filling out my paperwork.
The receptionist informs Dr. Lila that I’m her last patient and then it got very awkward. Dr. Lila then tells her that’s the not possible because she wasn’t previously informed. I interject and confirm that I indeed have a 7 pm appointment and we kind of go back and forth then she says «No problem, I’ll cancel my plans». I felt like she was pretty much calling me a liar but then says hey no biggie I’ll just cancel my plans that you just ruined unintentionally. I was mainly annoyed because why would Renee mention that Tuesdays are the later days if that wasn’t the case? Maybe Renee snuck me in to do me a favor — who knows.
I go into the room and wait for Dr. Lila and she came in and sort of apologized and we chalked it up to a misunderstanding.
We spent some time talking about my back pain and what causes it, my previous chiro care, concerns/​issues, my headaches, etc. She examined my spine and told me I needed to get my neck aligned — which was a hard limit for me. I told her I’ve heard horror stories but she she assured me it would be fine and she’s very skilled in neck alignments. I trusted her and just wanted my pain to go away. As soon as she felt my muscles relax, she went for it and it was over in a second. Completely painless — very relieving. She also aligned my lower back, between my shoulder blades (which had the most tension) and I instantly felt like I was 4 inches taller and as light as a feather. It’s amazing what a «back crack» can do.
I appreciated that Dr. Lila did much more than what the Groupon allowed which shows that she cares about the patient’s needs. After some chatting, she turned out to be a really cool, down to earth person and I’m glad our introduction didn’t affect my consultation.
I asked about insurance, follow up sessions, and she gave me all I needed without once being pushy about it, even offered tips on exercises and recommended a yoga site. I’ve been to several chiros and all they care about is the $$$.
Overall, the results trump anything and I definitely want to return to alleviate my chronic back pain some more, but in just in 24 hours I have no back pain whatsoever from those adjustments.

Dr. Wolfe is a miracle chiropractor in NYC! She is the best in town and takes all insurances, but also is affordable. Want the best than visit Wolfe Chiropractic!

Dr Wolfe is amazing! Very skillful and friendly. She’s the only chiropractor I’ve ever been to and ever plan on going to!

Dr. Lila Wolfe is amazing. She has helped reduce shoulder, hip and back pain in my life and I always feel three inches taller and ten pounds lighter when I leave her office, no joke. She explains everything to you in an easy to understand way, she is patient and has a zen like office and she works quickly and painlessly. As a crossfit athlete, I have come to her often with aches and pains and she’s really helped with reducing them or making them disappear.

Before saying anything else — this was my first visit to a Chiropractor ever, but i was treated by Orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapy, osteopathy etc.
I came to see Dr. Wolf after reading the amazing reviews here.
Suffering from terrible neck pains that lasted for three weeks I was hoping to get some kind of relief from the treatment.
Unfortunately the treatment was not a success, and since then things had pretty much become worse. Dr. Wolf approach after looking at my X-​rays is that this is not a big deal and after 10 minutes of alignments i’d feel good again. With a chronic back condition i’ve seen many specialists over the years, Dr. Wolf approach was not thorough, serious or helpful. The super aggressive alignments might help some but I don’t see how it’s effective for heavily inflamed areas. Definitely made my condition worse.
While i appreciate the effort and that maybe the Dr’s treatment is helpful for some, i would strongly recommend not to go there.

Dr Lila Wolfe is one of the most caring doctors that I have ever been to. Her Chiropractic skill and enthusiasm are evident as soon as she places her hands on your back and tells you «you’re better» after your adjustment. I really did feel better and I was looking forward to my next adjustment! Thank You Dr. Lila! Michael C

Dr. Lila Wolfe is the TRUTH… the TRUTH!
First off — she is so down to earth and really cool! My first visit — she was very thorough — asked me what my issues were and also educated me about my spine and how she could help.
My first visit was about three weeks ago. I had knee pain and sore joints. After my first adjustment — I fell lighter on my feet and more relaxed. Today — my knee pain is 85% less and two days ago, my menstruation began and I had NO CRAMPS… hold on because i have to shut the door twice — LOL! LOL! I was so amazed!
And when Dr. Lila adjusts you — SHE ADJUSTS YOU… you better go ahead with your bad self, dr. Lila.
I 250% recommend Dr. Lila for any issues that you may have — she will definitely make you feel a whole lot better over time…
Start cracking your back people :-).

Lila Wolfe is hands down the best chiropractor I’ve been too. She not only fixes the immediate problem — in my case initially lower back pain and neck stiffness — but getting you on a path to avoid recurrance. Overall vibe in the office is very cool, welcoming and friendly.

To Crack your Back or Not– That is a real dilemma. Let me assure you that whether you are a believer or not, the X-​Rays do not lie. I had originally purchased a groupon for a massage and xray consult when I noticed my back was hurting a bit. Although at first it took me forever to make an appointment that I was able to make, when I finally got around to actually going. My massage was a solid «meh», but my consult and alignment were amazing. I can see the bend in my spine and the whip lashed curvature in my neck due to years of snowboarding, skiing, sports in general, car accidents, waitressing I’m sure!
I didn’t want to review this place after just one session though. So since then I’ve been back and am getting aligned weekly to straighten out my spine and neck. It’s actually made me feel so much better — taller — healthier — less tension
the Chiropractor talks really fast — which I think she could slow down at, but she’s very warm and welcoming and explains what she’s doing to you well which I appreciate. The office has clients coming in and out in a very friendly relaxed environment but she is very quick so if you’re in a hurry this would be a great place for you.

My girlfriend who was 34 weeks pregnant at the time had a baby in Breech position. (meaning the babies head was upright instead of facing down, which usually happens around week 34.)
Not wanting to do any procedures that would cause trauma to the baby we opted for a chiropractic method.
After only 2 visits to Dr. Lila the baby successfully flipped to the head down position.
This was great news since it meant that our baby was going to have the best opportunity to be born naturally.
I would Highly recommend Dr. Lila to anyone seeking Chiropractic help. She is friendly, knowledgeable and strong.
Thanks Dr. Lila!!!

I mangled my back playing squash in 2011. I spent a week working from «the floor» of my apt as I couldn’t stand up without dealing with the most intense mind-​bending back pain I have ever experienced.
So, I managed to crawl down Wall St to see Lila.
I think it’s fair to say Lila started fixing/​healing/​correcting my back issues right away during that first session. I went to see Lila for probably two weeks afterwards, normally twice a day, after which I was able to walk with absolutely no pain (turns out it was a herniated disc after having an MRI).
Ongoing — I try to visit Lila once a week to get adjusted, I always feel so much better after an adjustment, I think that’s a sign of a pretty amazing doctor!
PS: Please try to remember — although it seems she is enjoying hurting you, she is not, she’s actually trying to help you.

Dr. Wolfe is truly amazing, I had pain in my leg and lower back for 2 months, after suffering so much I could not walk I went to her office where the staff was also a pleasure to deal with. Dr Wolfe treated me immediately and after my first visit I was able to walk again. After about 4 visits I was my old self again. There is no need to suffer from back, neck, or leg pains she ia a miracle worker!!!
Her office is also a wonderful place to go to. I would go everyday if I could. if you have any pains, suffer no more visit Dr. Wolfe and her staff, and feel great.

Always feel so great walking out of Lila’s office. So easy to get there by ferry or train. She can always fit you in and her staff are lovely! She is amazing.

Lila Wolfe is amazing. She is currently working on correcting my whiplash and has eased my discomfort by milestones. Full recovery is within reach!
I absolutely recommend Dr. Wolfe. She is a caring, attentive and effervescent healer. And to top it all off, when I go to her office with my 7-​year, she always looks at how he’s doing and gives him the most delicate of adjustments, if needed.

Great adjustments in a relaxed atmosphere. Dr. Wolfe and her staff are awesome. Go here.

Dr. Wolfe is sooo amazing. She is knowledgeable, professional, very cool, friendly, and as a bonus, young and attractive ;) My lower back pain is no longer an issue ever since I’m coming to her for help. I was devastated and bitter when my back went out on me about seven months ago, and that was a disaster since I am a nursing student, constant be near the bedsides, helping patients on and off the beds.
Before I found Dr. Wolfe, I went to other chiropractors, and the experiences were so awful, that I couldn’t tie my shoe fast enough to flee the sites. I am so grateful that there is such a caring, and professional chiropractor such as Dr. Wolfe out there. Getting an adjustment from her every week is like a treat. The wonderful receptionist, Renee, greeting you on the spot with her beautiful and healing smiles as always. The warming up chair prior the adjustment and the nice relaxation music background is so soothing. And after each adjustment my body feels so good. My sinus seems to be improved, my body’s circulation equally balances throughout. Everything becomes so clear all of sudden!!. Experience it yourself to know what I meant. I love having adjustments by Dr. Wolfe. She is highly recommended.

Lila Wolfe is one-​of-​a-​kind. Truly. She spends a considerable amount of time with you during the first session in order to diagnose the issue you come in with and then explain in detail how to treat the matter. The ensuing adjustments are quick and delicious. The sciatica that sent me to her in the first place is no longer an issue, and I plan to keep seeing her regularly to make sure it stays that way.
