Chiropractor in Manhattan | Dr. Jason Piken
After receiving an adjustment unlike any adjustment I have ever had before during a Chiropractic seminar, I vowed to learn Applied Kinesiology!
Eight months before I graduated from NY Chiropractic College I was in a horrible car accident. I broke my spine in two levels and destroyed my left shoulder. After quickly recovering I spent the next two years dedicated to getting really healthy! I saw all the best Chiropractors, went to physical therapy consistently, was eating right and going to the gym as often as possible. It seemed I was doing all the right things to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but there was one thing that just would not get better, which was a pain in my mid lower back. It had escalated to the point that I was unable to fully rotate my lower body.
Applied Kinesology
At the time, I was a practicing Chiropractor. I attended an Applied Kinesiology seminar where they were describing a problem similar to mine. I was called up on stage and given an adjustment unlike any adjustment I had ever had before!
Some blocks were put under my legs and my feet were yanked in a particular way. When I stood up, I felt an IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE!! From then on, my back pain consistently got better and better. From that point on, I vowed to learn Applied Kinesology!
Chiropractic is different than any other system of healthcare
At first I thought chiropractic was a way to help peoples backs feel better…the longer I am in practice the more I realize that chiropractic is so much more. We are the only profession that is founded on the premise that when innate intelligence is allowed to communicate with your physical body then healing will occur. I show up to the office each morning with the knowledge that every patient is getting a step closer to optimum when they get their adjustment…that’s a great feeling!
Outside the Office
I have a fantastic supportive wife and two wonderful young daughters ages 8 and 6, I also have two “boys” (my Boston Terriers, OZ and Luke). We are all under regular chiropractic care. Aside from my Manhattan chiropractic practice I am a passionate cook, I love to spend time at home with my family and I love to be physically fit and to play golf.
