I had discovered acupuncture a few years prior, when I had been hit by a car and acupuncture was part of the covered treatment. In the 10 years I have been getting acupuncture and body work in NYC, I can unequivocally say that Kristin is the most gifted healer I have been to. She was very thorough in her assessment of my conditions, and every visit is comprehensive, no matter how sick or well I am. I have been to several acupuncturists who give a very "out of the box" set of points and not much discussion. Kristin goes beyond surface level presentation of my injuries/issues and takes the time to discuss other aspects of my health that may be contributing, namely nutrition and exercise. Her touch is very healing and she has the ability to precisely target points in a powerful way. Additionally, she is vibrant, friendly, empathetic and easy to talk to--all the qualities you'd hope for in a healthcare provider. Her practice is situated in a comprehensive chiropractic and physical therapy office, so it is easy to get multiple complimentary treatments if needed. I have made many personal referrals to Kristin, and all have found her to be excellent.

She makes you feel better just by her smile and her words of confidence. I am afraid of needles, but she talked to me and asked me to breathe in and out. She reassured me by letting me know that if one needle hurt, that would be it, she wouldn't pressure me in any way to continue with the therapy. LOL. Now I can't wait until she puts that one needle in my forehead (OH THAT'S THE STRESS RELIEVER) that puts me to sleep before she reaches the door. I didn't know if acupuncture would work for me, but it has. Relieving the pressure I feel on my knees and absolutely the best for relieving my stress. Kristin is an absolute sweetheart. She is calm, professional and supportive. I am now using acupuncture to relieve my tendonitis in my elbow. I kind of look like a human pin cushion now during my treatments. Me! the girl who is afraid of needles. LOL. Give acupuncture a try, but most of all, try with Kristin! You won't regret it!

I was under her care…read morefor chiropractic issues I was experiencing, which she was very helpful in relieving the pain I had, but in a more gentle approach than I've experienced before. Now years later, I'm happy to be reconnected with Dr. Beth, focusing more on nutrition. Almost four years ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and I was on so many medications, steroids, none that made me feel better, they only caused more side effects that I didn't have before and who knows what else the long term effects could be. My symptoms, primarily my dizziness, were not inproving, and I had gone to every type of doctor to troubleshoot, but nothing was helping me. I had remembered that Dr. Beth, when I last corresponded with her a couple years ago, had mentioned the power of nutrition in the healing process for many ailments, one including auto immune issues. As I was so overwhelmed with dealing with the disease and conflicted on which route to take, I stayed under my neurologist 's care and tried to follow what they said would help me. But after over three years of just not feeling right and flip flopping medications that were depleting my body and mind in other ways, I was finally ready to try a new approach. The last four months I have stopped all medications and focused only on nutrition and whole food supplements that Dr. Beth works closely with me every week and adjusts based on my body's needs. After two weeks on the program, the brain fog I had for over a year was already gone, and now after a few months, I can say that I don't feel a constant state of dizziness and imbalance. I see myself becoming stronger and empowered best of all- to know that your body's health is something you can try and control. I am a strong believer that nutrition is linked to health in deeper ways than we have been told in the past. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. Thank you, Dr. Beth, for helping me get my life back

I had originally purchased a groupon for a massage and xray consult when I noticed my back was hurting a bit. Although at first it took me forever to make an appointment that I was able to make, when I finally got around to actually going. My massage was a solid "meh", but my consult and alignment were amazing. I can see the bend in my spine and the whip lashed curvature in my neck due to years of snowboarding, skiing, sports in general, car accidents, waitressing I'm sure! I didn't want to review this place after just one session though. So since then I've been back and am getting aligned weekly to straighten out my spine and neck. It's actually made me feel so much better - taller - healthier - less tension the Chiropractor talks really fast - which I think she could slow down at, but she's very warm and welcoming and explains what she's doing to you well which I appreciate. The office has clients coming in and out in a very friendly relaxed environment but she is very quick so if you're in a hurry this would be a great place for you.

I have been seeing Dr. Jacobs since May of 2011, subsequently after being injured in a car…read moreaccident. Since then Dr. Jacobs has done a fantastic job of going above, and beyond your average chiropractor to improve my body, and have less pain. Nancy takes the time and care to sit down, and explain how you can actually improve your life, and have less or no pain. Nancy teaches and demonstrates methods such as: how to improve posture, ergonomic devices, nutrition, exercises/stretching, and a lot more. I was rear ended by a 24 foot truck, sustaining serious whiplash. Afterward, my entire body was inflamed, I had trouble standing and walking for too long. I had constant migraines, my thoracic (middle back) was in constant pain, and I could barely turn my neck in any direction. My MRIs revealed that I had several herniated discs throughout my cervical (neck), one herniated disc in my lumbar (lower back). And an EMG test revealed I had a pinched nerve in my thoracic area, and in the right side of my neck. The prescriptions prescribed by my Pain Doctors only disguised the pain, and had terrible side effects. Physical Therapy was not helping much, and there were so many people at their office, there was attention, and all they cared about was billing my insurance. I saw several spine specialists, and all they wanted to do was give me an injection/epidural of steroids. I found Park Ave Chiropractic on the internet when seeking a more holistic natural way to helping my pain. Within the first visit Dr. Jacobs did just so, to help guide me in a more holistic route to be pain free. Nancy's neck adjustments quickly helped alleviate my migraines, and improve my neck pain. Nancy recommended the herbal supplement "Inflammatone," a natural anti-inflammatory supplement to take; instead of advil or prescription anti-inflammatories which can cause stomach/liver and other serious problems when taken too much. The inflammatone not only reduced my inflammation but improved my digestion, which is associated with back pain. In time I found that her techniques used on my thoracic was the only thing that would help the pain. And now, I barely ever have pain in that area. My neck pain has improved a remarkably. One tool Nancy utilizes that I've become a huge fan of, after it saved me from getting surgery is Cold Laser. Unrelated to my car accident, I had an infection on the outer area of my naval (belly button), my MD put me on Levaquin, which I soon found out...I was allergic to. After ridding the Levaquin out of my system, my MD put me on another anti-biotic, and said that if it didn't work I would have to have a surgeon remove the infection...that anti-biotic didn't work! After sharing this with Nancy, she suggested we try Cold laser therapy on the infection...within a month the infection was gone. No surgery for me! Lastly, Nancy is an expert nutritionist. With her nutritional and excersizing advice, and guidance, I have lost 25 pounds (and counting).
