1. When were you founded? 2012 locally but I’ve been in practice since 1997.
2. How did your business come to be? I recently moved to the Merrick area after getting married to Jill (Kaminowitz) Cohen, who is a native Merokean. I grew up in New York but have been practicing in Charlotte, NC for the past 15 years.
3. Why did you choose the Merrick area? We chose the Merrick area because of my wife. While I have only been here for about nine months, I have grown to love it.
4. What do you offer customers? We offer our patients “no-crack” chiropractic utilizing a state of the art chiropractic adjusting instrument called a precision adjuster. Just as medical doctors use lasers instead of scalpels, advancement in chiropractic have brought us tools that are comfortable and highly effective. We are also certified Graston Technique providers.  This is the soft tissue technique which many professional sports teams and Olympic athletes implement. You can read more about it on our website.
5. What do you want your business to be best known for? We treat our patients like they are our family (don’t worry— we like our family).
6. What's your most popular product or service? What sets us apart is our no-crack adjustments and our Graston Technique. I’ve had the opportunity to work on many professional athletes because of the Graston Technique. The technique is great for young athletes, triathletes, or just stubborn aches and pain. We achieve results where other techniques and services fall short. For a list of problems that can be treated with Graston Technique, visit Graston Technique
