Rehabilitative treatments, including trigger point injections and kinesio taping, restore functional ability, and alleviate pain associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders.

Just a quick email to let you know that my race last weekend was fabulous. I finished in 13:12 with splits of 0:57, 7:05, and 4:45 or thereabouts. The marathon on a difficult course [at least the first 14 miles were very hilly] felt great and I could run a negative split with my fastest miles being 17-24.

My body feels rather tired now but my legs seem much less affected than after previous marathons – must be the strength training/stretching/massage & ART! All in all, what a great experience, especially after not being able to run more than 0.25 miles without pain in April. Thanks again for your help. I will stop by in the next few days to show off my medal.

I had a great experience with Dr. Anselmi and his office.  The doctor has tremendous knowledge and is very skilled at what he does.  His treatment was key to my recovery from hip surgery.  The office is highly efficient and friendly and they handled easily all matters related to insurance.  The massage therapists are also highly skilled.  I have referred several people to this practice since my experience.

Ana Santana

I am so happy to know about this place, and to be treated by its doctors! As an athlete, it’s a blessing to find people who understand your sport and can explain to you what’s going on, and then even fix the problems you’ve been dealing with! I wish I could have been treated by them years ago, it is changing my outlook on my future in my sport! Great people, doing great work! Thank you!

Fleur G.

I went in with so much pain – back, neck, shoulders – and left feeling much better – and with a plan for complete recovery – that didn’t include spending the rest of the year going there !!

Bravo — great place !! and Dr. A is amazing!

Jill Hughes

I’ve been a patient at CSC+M for about 18 months and initially went in for some knee pain. The PT and Chiropractor I worked with very quickly identified what was causing the pain, gave me exercises and resolved that. I highly recommend them (and have to several co-workers) to keep your body working as it should so you can go about your day without aches and pains that can be easily fixed. I only wish I hadn’t waited so long and I’m glad I can go back for maintenance to keep my body working and pain free.

Trevor George

This place is heaven. I had a major back injury after attempting to do a workout boot camp on the beach. The unlevel sand cause all the muscles in my back to tear. I could barely walk for 2 weeks.

The combination of CSCM’s physical therapy, massage therapy and chiropractic therapy brought me back to life. I’m now 100% better and back to working out. I can’t thank everyone there for all of their help.

Illa Gold

It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful this facility is. The treatment that I’ve received from Dr. Anselmi, Dr. Nagorski and the medical masseuse team is unprecedented and hard to come by in NYC. I have been in treatment for a longstanding injury and could not be happier with the therapy and level of professionalism that the medical staff has shown me. Thank you Dr. Anselmi & co!!!!

Lauren Evans

MK Marsden and Peter Crosby I found my way to the Center for Spine Care + Mobility because I was looking for an integrated approach to treat injury-induced headaches. I used to go to an integrated physical therapy/chiropractic care center before I moved to New York from California, so I expected CSC+M to be a similar experience. Working with Dr. Schuman, Jinita, Denise, and Sandra and experiencing their targeted, attentive care is the reason why CSC+M surpassed all my expectations. My experience with CSC+M has not only helped eradicate my headaches but is helping me learn how to control and strengthen my body to correct bad habits and prevent further injuries. Not to mention the facilities are clean and comfortable and the entire staff is friendly and welcoming every time I come in. I would 100% recommend CSC+M to anyone looking for physical therapy or chiropractic work in general – why have just one form of treatment when you can have it all?!

S. D’addario

I suffered a lower back injury my first year of college, during this time I have seen many other doctors and one other chiropractor. But I’ve enjoyed my experience the Center for Spine Care and Mobility the most. I’ve only been seeing them for a short time, but I already see an improvement in my core strength and the pain in my lower back that would occasionally flare up is now slowly but surely disappearing. I would recommend CSC+M to anyone who wants to see great results and be treated incomparably by a wonderful staff.

Murilo Santana

Hi Dr. Anselmi, its been one week since my shoulder surgery and today I talked with my orthopedic surgeon. Everything went great, and a huge reason was all the work you guys did with me in preparation for the surgery. The improvements I saw after working with you, Dr Schumann and Dr Sunny were awesome and exceeded my expectations. Thank you very much.

Doug Johnson

My therapist in Hawaii referred me to Dr. Anselmi when I tore my quadricep muscle retrieving luggage from the overhead bin on an arriving flight (all my serious injuries happen in the least heroic circumstances).

Over the years, his team has put me back together after so many injuries. Last year I fell in the subway and within a few hours I saw Dr. Anselmi. He arranged for an MRI and created a treatment, with his team. It has been 8 or 9 months since my last visit and the only recurrence was when I stopped my exercises that my therapist (thanks Jinita) prescribed. I have been to every specialist imaginable but the number who DO NOT recommend surgeries comes down to just one: Dr. Anselmi. To date, I cannot imagine what might have become of me without him and his team.

Roy Hibbert

I went to CSC+M for a shoulder injury and was very happy with the results.  They have a talented team and multiple treatments available. I was interested in myofacial treatment, which is why I sought out Dr. Anselmi in the first place. The chiropractors, PT and massage therapist all helped to get me healed and on my way.  The at-home exercises which I continue to do have kept me painless and functioning.  The support staff is helpful and efficient.  CSC+M is now at the top of my list.

Ravi A.

Was referred to this place by a friend for my sciatica issues. Started in late June with an assessment by Dr.Chris Anselmi and have been working with him and Dr.Miller for PT. It’s been a little over 2 months and already feeling better. As with most of sports injuries, we need to do our part with exercises and stretches. I’m doing the same and hope to be fully up and running (literally). Their treatment is very organized with a chiropractic session, followed by PT and a massage. You don’t have to repeat your story with every treatment as the therapist is briefed in advance and they start working without bothering you. My experience has been good so far and I’d recommend this place to runners and people with sports injuries.

Ila G.

I cannot speak highly enough about CSC+M. Dr. Amsale & his staff of medical professionals has been amazing in helping me after a terrible foot injury. If you’re considering therapy or chiropractics in Manhattan look no further. Love it here!

Kassim C.

This is a fantastic group of caring healthcare professionals.  While I worked in NYC, I was a patient of Dr. Chris Anselmi for over 10 years!  That says something.  How many organizations are so good these days that their patrons would stick with them for so long.  Dr. Anselmi is friendly, personable, knowledgeable and truly empathetic.  Exactly the attributes one looks for in a doctor.  I remember going there with back and neck pain in the range of 5 to 10 (on a 10 point scale) and leaving with a rating of around 1 or 2!  That’s remarkable.  If I still worked in the City I’d be going there even now.  I highly recommend CSC+M without reservation.

Anita has a special gift for teaching with a flare for creating a practice that’s tailored to you and your specific needs. She showed me how to increase strength and flexibility after a shoulder injury and has helped enormously with my balance and posture.

Nicole
NYC, Attorney

Private sessions with Anita have been excellent! Her knowledge of physiology goes well beyond what you would normally get from a yoga session. I have a back injury and feel completely safe working with Anita. During a flare up of back pain, a session with Anita actually provided pain relief. I have never enjoyed yoga in the past and now I look forward to practicing it weekly!

Prior to finding out about Anastasia, I thought I was doomed to the embarrassing stresses that come with incontinence. Utilizing the strategies and knowledge that Anastasia shared, my symptoms began to dissipate after each session—I’m learning how to take back my life and I’m so happy!!!

The actual treatment and my reduction in hip pain and increase in mobility is really life changing. Anastasia taught me how to treat myself at home with the wand and with pelvic floor exercises. I currently treat myself 3x a week to keep my hip pain at bay. I also appreciated the informative lunch session about pelvic floor therapy to dive deeper into the topic and help me further understand how I can help myself at home.

Since 2017 I’ve been a loyal and super pleased Botox client with her. She is a consummate professional and an honest broker of information. She’s there to guide you to what you need and not what benefits her practice. At 37, Botox is the cornerstone of my skin care routine. It has held off static forehead lines and smoothed wrinkles around me eyes. It’s a facelift without surgery.

M.S., female, New York, 33. repeat customers 7+ years

I’ve been seeing her for more than 7 year. She is the only person I trust with me injectables! Each treatment begins with a throughout consultation to ensure that my results are exactly what I have in mind. Her bedside manner, attention to detail, and intricate knowledge of facial anatomy have consistently resulted in a fresh, natural-looking appearance that I am thrilled with. 10 out of 10 recommend!
