Best BAck Pain Place in NY

by Jose Gavilano

I have had recurring back pain for years and have been to a lot of chiropractors. Back and Body Medical is in my view the best. The patient centric approach they take is unique. Dr Sivandra and Dr. Perna are outstanding. The supporting physical therapy is superb. Since I started going my pain has subsided significantly. I recomend it as the best place in the city for back pain.

Great Dr's, PT's and Reception - everybody here is great

by ving12345

I had never been to a chiropractor and was skeptical from the unknown...but from scheduling an appointment, to dealing with insurance and onto the physical therapy and chiropractic sessions - they are the absolute best.

I hurt my back a couple of years ago and wasn't sure where to start off. Having never been to a chiropractor before, I was nervous to try as well as unsure of how to actually set everything up. As soon I called to set an appointment, all my uncertainties had vanished. I went in for the initial appointment, was extremely comfortable and they guided me 100% of the way. The services provided have additionally been phenomenal. Dr's Sivendra and Perna fixed my back when I thought it was impossible to help. Also, Rea, my physical therapist, did the best massage, stretching and exercises for me with my particular condition (all the pt's are great and its tailored exactly to your needs). In a matter of weeks, I was back to doing everything I could before (and I had actually torn a disc...it was fairly substantial). 2 years later and I am still happy. Occasionally, I lift something or twist in such a way that causes a flare up (my fault) - I immediately run over to Dr Perna's office. Within days, I am back on track and back to busy NY life.

If you are a novice or a regular - you should definitely give this office a try. They are ontime, effective, respectful, and the nicest people in the profession.

Extremely Effective Back therapy

by Springfy

I threw out my back during a business travel three years ago and was recommend to Dr. Perna by our corporate nurse. Dr. Perna was very thorough in diagnosing and explaining to me my condition and put together a treatment that was effective from the start. After just a few sessions, I felt like I never had back pain. Continuous sessions prevent any flare ups. Furthermore, Dr. Perna was willing to work with any insurance company.

I have since then moved out of NYC and have sought other chiropractic services to manage my back problems. But no one has proved to be more effective than Back and Body Medical. I look forward to a few sessions in their new office every time I am back in NYC. Dr. Perna will not disappoint.

• Pros: Nothing really unless midtown is not convenient for you
• Cons: Best Chiropractic service I've had

Great Care, Friendly staff, fast recovery

by CJinHoboken

I recently hurt my back lifting at the gym. Dr Perna and Back & Body Medical fit me in the same day. The staff was extremely friendly and took care of all insurance questions in a professional way. Dr Perna evaluated my injury and laid out a full plan for rehabilitation and recovery. He was very knowledgeable and fully explained my injury and how it would be treated. This plan was shared with the physical therapist so we were all on the same page.

I have been attending therapy for a few weeks now and my back feels great. The treatment is going better then anticipated and the staff is truly concerned with my progress. I highly recommend Back & Body Medical along with Dr Perna and his entire staff to anyone. You will be as happy with them as I am with my recovery.

• Pros: Great Care, Friendly staff, fast recovery
