Manhattan Medical Health Care

I came here after hurting my shoulder and back (not at the same time luckily) and had a great experiences. The massage therapists are AMAZING. I’ve been to massage places in Chinatown, and you get what you pay for there. The therapists here really know what they’re doing; they’re specific and they go deep. The physical therapy and chiropractic care were also instrumental in getting me back to the gym ASAP. I love that this is a one stop shop for my health!
PS: This is my second review for the same place. I just noticed this page after I wrote a review for «Manhattan Medical Health Care». Looks like it’s the same place since it’s the same address though.

I was experiencing some back pain and came here for treatment since they are close to work. I told the chiropractor it could’ve been from the way I slept cos our mattress was reaching the end of its life cycle. After taking a quick look she said my back was out of alignment. The first treatment lasted about 5 minutes. She used a chiropractic gun that loosens up the muscles. Not exactly state of the art technology but as long as it works. I was asked to come back again the next day.
Next day, my back was feeling slightly better though a sharp pain remained. I honestly don’t think her 5 minute treatment was the reason I felt better, but rather it was my back healing itself slowly. As scheduled, I went back to the chiro and this time she treated me with some powerful massaging tool. It made minimal difference. Maybe a proper 20 or 30 minute session could’ve fixed me but once again, the treatment ended after 5 minutes and once again, I was asked to come back another day.
At that point I was getting frustrated with the short treatments I was receiving. They had already cleared my insurance for 9 visits and I started wondering if they were milking my ailment for what its worth. I wanted a second opinion and decided to go see a family Chinese herbalist. The herbalist said there was nothing wrong with my alignment but I had simply pulled a muscle. He massaged my back with an herbal med for ²⁰⁄₂₅ mins, put on a patch and within 24 hours I was pretty much okay.
This was my first experience with a chiro and I’m beginning to understand why some people call them quacks.
