Do I went to Dr. Stekel to ease some mild back pain from hunching over a computer and carrying my laptop around. To me, it seemed more of a novelty than a need, I wasn’t expecting big results except to be loosened up and get my back cracked. But he was very tuned into what my body needed and I immediately felt a difference when leaving his office. Wow!! I have been to two other chiropractors before and was not as impressed.

Dr. Stekel’s office offers a peaceful and calming ambiance as soon as you walk into the room. Everything from the colors and music to the service he offers is stellar. He targets his questions about issues you have in a way that really suits your situation and I’d recommend him to any and every person seeking treatment for back issues. I left the office feeling completely refreshed and in a true moment of ZEN. Thanks Dr. Stekel!

Dr. Stekel is the most kind and skillful Chiropractor in NYC. He really helped my problems and solutions for the future. I really cannot wait to go back to him for any issues I may have next round. I highly recommend his caring professionalism for anybody in need of Chiropractic issues (By the way I love the positive energy that his office lets out). Thank you again!

I went to Dr. Stekel after years of back problems. I threw my back out playing soccer and had trouble sleeping and working at my desk. After one visit, I was feeling better, and I’ve been going for 2 months and the change is amazing and extremely noticeable in my life. Couldn’t recommend him more!

After having a medical procedure, i awoke from the anesthesia unable to move my right rib cage and had difficulty breathing. My right rib cage had moved out of alignment. Any movements including breathing caused stabbing pains. Without painkillers i was immobile. Dr Stekel adjusted me and within a few hours i was greater than 50% better. After a second visit i was back in good working order. Dr Stekel is an excellent Chiropractor and a very caring person.

Dr. Stekel is an attentive, wonderful, caring, gentle chiropractor. I was visiting Manhattan from Cali for a few days when I woke up with a crick in my neck. I decided it was bad enough that I needed to find a chiropractor that was open on a Saturday. I found Dr. Stekel on Yelp and called him right away. What surprised me right away was that he actually answered the phone and this made him even more personable. He was able to get me in and took his time working on me. Although my problem was more muscular than skeletal, he still did all that he could to help me. I highly recommend him. Oh, I should add that he also called me once I was back in Cali to follow up with me. Thanks Dr. Stekel for helping me. You’re pretty great!

I was in great pain from a herniated disc and carpal tunnel syndrome when I found Dr. Stekel online. I called on a Friday night and he squeezed me in the next day, on a Saturday! After our first session the pain was practically gone in the neck area and minimized in my wrist. I continued my treatment twice a week for a couple of months. Each week I improved steadily. Dr. Stekel incorporated strengthening exercises as part of the healing routine. I was almost 100% when treatment was interrupted (not by Dr. Stekel). In time I returned to Dr. Stekel and I am continuing treatment where we left off. The progress is amazing. Prior to my first visit I could hardly carry my purse or anything over 2 or 3 pounds without experiencing significant pain in my neck. Now, I have graduated from the 2lb weights to 5lbs for wrist exercises. This is a great feat considering the initial condition. I highly recommend Dr. Stekel for his skill, great attitude toward healing, kindness and patience. His treatment room is also very relaxing and the overall office has a relaxing vibe.

I am delighted to have found Dr. Stekel who treated my back and neck issues. He is soft spoken with a gentle and kind demeanor. He spent a significant amount of time with me, explaining different exercises I can do to protect my spine and back. My visit was a pleasure and his office, very clean and safe, is conveniently located in mid-town.

Absolutely wonderful place. Great atmosphere, really good energy. Dr. Stekel is very professional and talks to you about what is going on with your body and tells you what he is doing and how it will help. Very good experience!

Dr Stekel was very calm and gentle. He was very informative and respectful, guided me through the whole process and was a pleasure to have as my first chiropractic experience. Would definitely go back
Kumaran
Dr. Stekel was easy going with a clear focus on what I needed physically. He’s both gentle and when required, appropriately forceful with his adjustments, but also checked in to make sure everything was going well. I feel great in my body beyond the two problem areas that I brought into Dr. Stekel’s attention. Highly recommended.

Amazing, efficient experience with Dr. Stekel. He really listened to my concerns and was so knowledgeable – I was wearing a sweater and he knew what was out of line by just a quick glance and prod. Definitely excited to return next week and after to continue my care at Stekel Chiropractic.

I got a Groupon for my boyfriend and myself . The doctor was able to schedule us on a Saturday morning due to our busy work schedule Monday-Saturday. He was super informative and took his time to explain all steps before during and after the adjustments. We both left the office feeling 100 times better, scheduled for our next adjustment, and with new stretching techniques for our back.

When I first walked into Dr. Stekel’s office, the vibe was welcoming. He asked me to fill out a standard intake form and upon entering the treatment room, asked me to remove my shoes and place them in a designated cubby hole. I do this at home, so I felt at ease. Through questions about my lifestyle, and what brought me here. He methodically and calmly ad…

Bought the two visits! Have one more appointment and he already fixed my hips that we’re crackling before. It was due to other things I would’ve never guessed. He was super respectful, walked me through every step, made me feel super calm and comfortable as well as giving me solutions to help my alignment. can’t wait for my next one. Now my next visit my crackling shoulder blade!

Dr. Stekel is AMAZING!!! I had some shoulder pain and in only two visits, the pain is gone. Dr. Stekel is professional, knowledgeable and personable. He was also kind enough to work with my busy schedule, squeezing me in where possible as I was in a great deal of pain. The office is clean and the location very easy to get to in Midtown Manhattan. I will be returning for regular adjustments.
