Sports Chiropractic Conditions We Treat in Midtown NYC
We treat a good deal of neck and upper back pain in NYC for athletes. It usually involves some type of overhead movement. Runners, cyclists, and swimmers all have the potential to place undue stress on their neck and upper back. Crossfit and weight training athletes can injure themselves during training.
Low back pain is prevalent in almost all types of sport. Anytime you perform a weight bearing activity strain is placed on your spine. In the winter months we see many skiers and snowboarders with low spine related injuries from excessive twisting, turning and an occasional hard landing.
Shoulder injuries in NYC are unfortunately more common than we would like to see. The shoulder joint rests on a shallow plate/ joint on your scapula bone. The humerus (arm bone) attaches to your shoulder with muscles, ligaments, and a circular configuration of ligamentous tissue called your rotator cuff. If one of these structures is injured with remaining tissue will work harder to maintain normal movement. With time these secondary structures can breakdown causing further injury. Accurately diagnosing and treating the shoulder effectively is the key healing this injury. Here at CSC+M we have a team approach to treating these type of injuries.
Knee and ankle issues are prevalent in most sports but more common in your running activities. The knee and the ankle are part of something called the lower kinetic chain. The kinetic chain consists of the foot/ankle, knee and hip joint/lumbo-pelvic junction. Anytime you injure one of these structures you must examine and rule out injuries in areas above and below primary complaint. Even though you have an ankle injury you must check the knee, hip and low back and make sure all systems are working properly. Here at CSC+M we pride ourselves on thinking outside the box and figuring out the cause of the problem. not just the sight of injury.
Midtown Manhattan Sports Chiropractor Referral Network
With more than 19 years experience, and a former exclusive affiliation with the Hospital For Special Surgery, we have developed a network of first-class referral sources. If your condition requires a second opinion, we can refer you to the appropriate physician and can even accommodate you on your visit.
Working with leaders in rehabilitative medicine in NYC gives our patients the advantage of receiving the best care and getting the best outcomes.
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?!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
