Spring Street Chiropractic

Dr. Allan was recommended by a friend of mine who's a naturopathic doctor (CT certified) as one of the best chiropractors she had ever encountered. My experience has proven this to be true. I've been going for about 6 years now. I've used other chiropractors who are good, but Dr. Allan is exceptional. I've regained mobility and flexibility with my back that I didn't realize I had lost. I used to suffer from chronic headaches with mega doses of Advil as the treatment. Now, I never have to take anything for headaches, because I no longer experience them. Try the D-Hist he recommends for people with seasonal allergies. Works better than any of the pharma solutions, except perhaps for Benadryl, which makes me too sleepy.

Pros: Exceptional chiropractic care

I woke up one morning with the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I could not move my neck at all without feeling an excruciating wave of agonizing sensation pulse through my entire body. It was a living nightmare, and I was genuinely scared. Instead of going directly to the emergency room, where I knew I would be given pain-killers to simply dull the problem, I cautiously put myself in a cab and asked the driver to carefully take me to Spring Street Chiropractic. I had passed the office a number of times previously since it was near my workplace, but never bothered to go in because I didn't think it was necessary at the time. With an assuring and professional demeanor, Dr. Allan assessed my situation and pinpointed the pinched nerve. After visiting his office regularly, the pain gradually receded and eventually went away. I still go to visit Dr. Allan frequently, not for pain relief anymore, but for long-term corrective spinal care. He is an incredibly engaging person and has a vast wealth of knowledge, both medically and otherwise. I recently learned that he used to be a renowned sculptor a long time ago, a testament to his manual dexterity. Even if you are not in pain, I would strongly recommend visiting Spring Street Chiropractic. Daily activity causes a great deal of stress on the structure of the spine, and over time can spiral into very complex problems. It is worth a visit, if only to see what condition your body is in and take measures to prevent any serious damage from occurring in the future.

Pros: professional, highly skilled, informative

Cons: none

If I slept well the night before I'll wake up fully charged the next day however, by noon my body is out of juices. I felt tired, fatigue, pains all over my body, sleepy at times, and the list goes on. I felt like a 30 some trap in a 60 some years old body. So I brought these conditions to my doctors and not only did they NOT find anything wrong with me, they described on my yearly physical exam "NORMAL". Then why don't I felt normal? With trails and errors I finally came across doctor Sicignano, with the x-ray, he showed me what was costing the pains in my body and the fatigues that I felt. He also described why these pains will restrict the full functions of my body and the treatments that can get my health back. At first I was skeptical, it was the non-surgical and non-drug induce methods make me give it a try. And I’m glad I did because after the first few treatments I felt rather relieve in the most painful areas of my body. As the major painful areas significantly reduce I start to felt the minor pained areas and as treatment went on, all these pains start to lessen every time I visit Dr. Sicignano. I have been seeing Dr. Sicignano for almost 2 years now and it was the best investment I have ever made in my life!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Depending on your condition, it can add up however he does take insurance so ask

I have been suffering with severe tension headaches for the past 6 months. My symptoms include severe debilitating pain in the back of the head, tightness in the chest, feeling like my ears are going to pop, shooting pain in my arms and legs, blurred vision, dizziness, apnea and nausea. I have been to the emergency room many times, seen doctors, neurologists, and accupuncturists. None of the medical professionals that I have seen have been able to identify the cause of my pain, and for the most part prescribed pain medication that would eventually cause more head aches as side effects. Dr. Sicignano was very confident in his diagnosis. He was able to show me how far out of alignment my neck has become, and that I am actually suffering from the affects of a pinched nerve. And let me tell you, after seeing as many Doctors and taking MRIs and EEGs and all the different medications etc., to finally hear something that made sense, and that there has hope, and a road to follow - has given me piece of mind. He has encouraged me to get off of as much medication as possible. His adjustments are truly amazing. I feel as though the end is in sight and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you find yourself suffering from any of the symptoms that I mentioned above, I would highly recommend you see Dr. Sicignano.

Pros: Gifted Healer, Confident in diagnosis and treatment

Cons: None to mention

I have been a loyal visitor to Spring Street Chiropractic for 10+ years! I trust and respect his diagnosis and treatment and regard him as most thorough, educated and professional in his work. Every case is treated as unique and receives the required attention to detail and historical review before anything else. I am a 45yr. old male who acts like a 25yr. old and have several sports related injuries and a total knee replacement in the past year. When I tell you I have crawled into the office more than once from "overdoing it", that would be an understatement. After treatment and ice I was up and playing softball the next day... I kid you not.

Pros: Great neighborhood, close to subway, takes emergencies, street level entry...

Cons: Can't think of any

I am a guitarist and composer who had a frozen shoulder and subsequent left hand numbness. After being referred to a surgery center I decided to have Dr Allan Sicignano at Spring Street Chiropractic work on me first. Dr Allan...or Allan to his friends and after one visit you want him to be your friend...adjusted me and worked on my back, shoulder, arm, wrist and hand. Not only did I not need surgery but I regained the fluid motion that I always wanted. Since then I've written an entire musical for Broadway! Never would have happened with out Dr Allan. I also have referred a number of other friends to him. Every single one was helped and thanked me. I've been to chiropractors in 3 other states and no one has helped me more than Spring Street Chiropractic. He's a healer. Professional, honest, kind and effective.

Pros: healing and professional

Cons: he can't be cloned

If it weren't for the treatment from Dr. Sicignano, I would not be able to live such an active lifestyle. The thing that I noticed first about him was how he took great care to thoroughly examine my spine ... there's no cookie cutter aproach here. My extreme TMJ and neck pain that I suffered from for years is now gone and I really appreciate how generous he is with his knowledge too. Dr. Sicignano knows his nutrition and encourages me to excercise and stretch so that the adjustments last longer.

Pros: Took time to listen to my questions and educate me about chiropractic

Cons: I can't really think of any

My neck recently went out so badly that I could not turn my head, and I needed to be at the top of my game for an important interview. Dr. Sicignano treated me twice on the first day and again the following day and my stiff neck was gone. He also adjusted my entire back and worked on my shoulder for a pre-existing condition, and I feel great!.......just in time for my interview, which went really well thanks to the care I received. He is able to pinpoint the problem and treat the condition so specifically that the results are fast and effective. I highly recommend him.

Pros: Fast relief, results
