Introducing New York Chiropractor Dr. John Belmonte

After graduating from university, I was sufferings with severe headaches and my medical doctor did not know what to do.  My neck was always tight and stiff.  My father had always gone for chiropractic treatment for his lower back and now I had a positive experience with my neck pain.

Dr.

I decided to pursue a career in chiropractic.  I attended New York Chiropractic College after completing a four-year bachelor of science degree in recreational therapy at S.U.N.Y. Cortland.  I worked for three years as a therapist and, during that time, I was a chiropractic patient.  It wasn't long before I decided to make chiropractic my career.

Chiropractic was an alternative to drugs and surgery and that what was most appealing to me. I quickly realized that it made sense that my body was able to heal and repair itself.  I was most interested in how to make that process happen on a daily basis more powerful.  The information I started learning in chiropractic college made me realize that most people are not being told the truth about their health and how the body works. People need to know what the can do to help themselves.

My practice is geared toward helping people help themselves and not about coming to see me just two or three times to get rid of pain.  Those patients who truly want to get better do!  Not only do they follow my advice but seek more knowledge on their own.

Practicing in midtown Manhattan has many challenges.  It is not a great place for healthy living.  Dirty air, dirty water and lots of stress.  People want everything yesterday and they have no time to get sick...  At the same time they claim they have no time to get well.  There lies the challenge!

I live in Manhattan and face the same challenges as everyone else!  The role of supplements in my life is important: antioxidants are essential because of my environment.

We recently renovated our office to be more green and we are using environmentally-friendly materials.  We also have air purifiers throughout the office along with antibacterial UV light.  Full-spectrum lighting to increase a happy mood and many other things.  We invite ever one to come take a look!

Thank you for visiting our site and I look forward to meeting you to discuss your health needs.

Dr. John  Asks some important questions of interest to New York residents - Chiropractor New York Dr. John Asks...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
Where do most New York residents get their first vertebral subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of vertebral subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every New York newborn.
