Lets start off by saying I DO NOT WRITE REVIEWS however this this is well deserved. Not to sound arrogant but last year my son was one of the most accurate pitchers we had on our team so this year I decided to get him lessons during the winter. Well needless to say he struggled with the strike zone and the only thing that changed was that I added a pitching coach. A friend highly recommended Doctor Arnold and in about 10 minutes of watching my son he not only identified the problem but put an outstanding plan in place to correct the situation. Best of all the plan included my son and myself as well. Doctor Arnold in each lesson would teach both of us and ask qualifying questions about previous games. This he would use as building blocks to continually increase my sons productivity on the field. He also works with us on strength and conditioning to protect the overall health of my son. Because I was so pleased with Doctor Arnold's pitching approach I decided to give him a try against my troubling back. To be honest I was a bit hesitant. After all he's just a pitching coach, right? But I figured if his approach is the same then I'm in not good hands but GREAT hands. I've been to many Doctors over the years both orthopedic and chiropractic and no and I mean no one has given me a good explanation as to what the problem has been. For over 12 years now I'm up almost every night because of my back. When explained to Doctor Arnold the pain is in my left lower hip he did a minor examination asked a bunch of question which became a two way conversation (unlike other doctors) and almost immediately told me the problem was in my right hip. Right hip? The pain was in the left. Yet again he explained and gave a very logical explanation ad to why. Now a few weeks or so later with his care his professionalism his thoughtfulness and his incredible willingness to address my issues I am sleeping through the night for the first time in 12 years. My biggest problem with the whole back issue would NOT be with Doctor Arnold but these other Doctors. Why didn't they take the time and or care??? We have now moved into fall baseball and during one of my chiropractic visits I asked Doctor Arnold to set a pitching lesson appointment for my son and he said NO. No why in the world not??? I was told my son needs to rest his arm to prevent future injurys. He recommended strength and conditioning for my son but no lessons. He fully explained why with a very logical explanation. With that said I decided to write this long lengthy review. A review WELL DESERVED. Doctor Arnold like the rest of us I'm sure wants to make a good living however he puts both the best interest of his patients and his pitching students before the American Dream. This you can only say about a man that truly cares about people. In ending I like my friend would highly recommend Doctor Arnold for both pitching and chiropractic care read more

Daniele B. Coach Greg is an awesome pitching coach as well as a great person. His knowledge, background and experience helped my son learn the fundamentals of the game and do it in a healthy way. He is professional, very motivating and a great role model. My son has been taking pitching lessons with him for about 4 years and will continue for years to come. Greg has not only taught my son the proper pitching mechanics but has also helped him with his confidence. Right from the beginning, Greg, was able to look at my son's mechanics and analyze them through a video for mistakes. He made changes in a way that were not complicated and were comfortable for my son to perform. Being my son is a very visual learner, I was worried at times that he would not get what Greg was trying to telling him. However, Greg picked up on that right away and took the time and had the patience to not only explain but to also demonstrate over and over again in a way to help him understand and make the right changes (Patience of a saint). He taught him how important it is to warm-up his pitching arm as well as his body to prevent soreness or injury. He helped him to understand that the power comes from the core and the legs and that the arm is only the mechanism that delivers the pitch. Greg took the time to teach my son specific exercises to help strengthen his legs and ways to position his body to help with balance. Today, my son's right side of his body is so much stronger and his balance is great thanks to Greg. Greg's guidance and expertise has helped my son become a better pitcher which allowed him to earn a spot on the high school team. Its great to hear from other parents and kids that your son is a great pitcher and has some wicked pitches. Thanks to Greg. Greg's caring and dedication goes beyond any words. Last year, my son hurts his pitching arm in the off season and I was worried and didn't know what to do so I called Greg. Being it was a weekend I didn't really expect to hear back from him, but within 15 minutes he called back. He not only told me what I should do but he also kept in contact with doctors and monitored my son's progress throughout his recovery. We are so happy to have Greg as a pitching coach. He is one of a kind. Greg also goes to seminars to stay updated on the latest techniques so he can bring them to each session. He also sends out monthly newsletter's with exercises, tips and way to keep your arm healthy. I highly recommend Coach Greg if your looking for a great pitching coach. read more

I was casually referred to Dr. Arnold being told that his abilities may help my 20 yr. old son who is a D1 Varsity collegiate cross country track and field runner on scholarship struggling with foot injuries for over a year and a half. We had already been to several physical therapists, two orthopedic surgeons and a chiropractor. We were being told by some his running career may be over? He has custom orthodics for his running and everyday shoes and was being treated daily by the athletic trainers at school but nothing was helping. I thought how could a pitching doc be of help for a runner with a chronic tendon injury of the foot? I couldnt have been more wrong. Not only was Dr. Arnold receptive to his injury he knew right away what needed to be done. He assessed my sons overall structure explained to us what he felt was out of whack adjusted his uneven hips which affected everything else . He knew just by touch that my son had an earlier hip flexor injury in the same leg as the tendon injury which he manually treated and proceeded to perform the Graston technique on his tendon in his foot and the surrounding ankle area to break up granular fibers that had caused adhesions and thickening of his tendon which was causing the sharp shooting pain. We had one short week while my son was home for spring break and during that time Dr. Arnold made himself available as often as necessary to work on my sons foot. He spoke with me daily checking in with my son and I on his progress and assessed what my son was doing nutritionally and supplementally. He had him back to running by the end of the week , eating much better and added in additional supplementation . At his end of the week follow up at his orthopedic surgeon who treats the local Universities track athletes the office was so impressed with the results they asked for Dr. Arnold's contact information . His level of caring and knowledge was amazing. The effect he had on my sons mental state was also amazing he really knows how to talk with young competitive athletes. He is kind, talented and genuine. As the last piece of the puzzle and to his credit my son is now back running full out on the team with no pain and has competed in his first 3K race placing 3rd. We can not be more grateful to Dr. Arnold for doing what he knows best and we will certainly continue to use his services and will not casually recommend him but insist that anyone with an issue get into his office and include his treatment on your road to recovery. Thank you Dr. Arnold. read more

We first met Greg about 3 years ago when our 9 year old son was asked to pitch for his team because of his size and strength for his age. Unfortunately, his rapid growth spurts resulted in some knee and ankle issues. After just a couple of lessons, Greg was able to point out some observations he made which led us to discover some other physical conditions that were impeding our son's development. We were able to get him evaluated and treated with the help and support of Greg. From his first lesson, not only did Greg teach our son the correct posture, positioning and movement for pitching, but he was able to individualize lessons specific to our son's needs. He also gave him simple one word reminders to help him self correct his pitching during games. I remember a game when our son's pitching was "off" and it had been a while since he needed to use his reminders. I took a chance, during the game, and emailed Greg in hopes that he would be able to help. To my surprise, relief, and (deep appreciation!), he replied within a couple of minutes. I got a message to the coaches who shouted out to our son, "Greg said, 'Eyes level!'" With a nod and smile from our son...strike one, strike two, strike three...and on to a great outing! Greg also has helped us tremendously with his winter conditioning and his knowledge about appropriate exercises, diet and rest. We have recently seen Greg in his office for help with strengthening our son's shoulder for the upcoming season. Greg used a specialized program which measures risk for shoulder injury, and again, was able to individualize exercises for our son. He also helps him with correct alignment of his back, hips and neck. Finally, Greg has not only been an outstanding coach, instructor, doctor and guide, but his positive attitude, professionalism, and energetic and motivating personality serve as a powerful role model for any young athlete. We truly feel blessed that Greg is part of our son's life...and ours! read more

My son and I have received treatment from Dr. Arnold over the past year and I can't be any more impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and his terrific personality. My son had "little league elbow" and after months of no throwing and physical therapy his arm was not improving at all. A friend suggested bringing him to Dr. Arnold and I'm glad he did. Dr. Arnold diagnosted the arm issue and after only short amount of visits and through a home exercise program that Dr. Arnold suggested my son's arm had improved tremendously. When my son was able to start throwing again Dr. Arnold became Coach Arnold his new pitching coach. He has taught my son proper pitching mechanics and also taught him how and why injuries happen. He also continues to push my son to do his pitching exercises to staystrong. Over the months my son's pitching mechanics have improved tremendously and his arm feels great, through the excercise program his shoulder back and arm are also much stronger. We still take him to Dr. Arnold for follow up visits to make sure that there ae no re-occurring injuries and that his back, shoulder and arm strength are where they need to be, and there is no better pitching coach for my son than Coach Arnold. I've had a Knee and a bi-cep issue that has caused me a lot of pain and discomfort on and off for years. I've been to many doctors and hours of physical therapy with little improvement. I finally had Dr. Arnold examined both and through a series of treatment and an home excercise program that he put me on my pain is gone. It's been over a month since my last treatment and my range of motion in my knee and arm is still very good and more importantly I am pain free. Dr. Arnold has been nothing short of terrific and I highly recommend him for anyone. read more

I have been taking my son (now almost 12 years old) to Dr. Arnold for pitching instruction for the past two years. My son has always had a strong arm, but could never control his pitches. From day one, Dr. Arnold connected with my son immediately, and has been nothing short of amazing. He not only teaches my son the many aspects of controlled pitching, but also how, when, and WHY to throw certain pitches in certain situations. I love this; baseball is a thinking sport, and it's often difficult for my son to stay focused. Dr. Arnold understands my son's age and speaks to him on his level. He always keeps the instruction understandable, relatable, simple, and doesn't over complicate things. He is always asking my son questions during the lesson to keep him engaged and focused. When my son has struggled during games, I have reported what was happening, and Dr. Arnold would help with immediate answers/strategies on how to rectify the issues. He would address those issues in the next lesson, and with adjustments there was instant success. Along with being a great pitching instructor, his Chiropractic background is always a basis for his teachings. He is very aware of arm strength, conditioning, care and wellness. While velocity is important, there are too many youth pitchers not taking care of their arms and already having surgery. This is why I put 100% trust in his instruction. I cannot say enough good words about what Dr. Arnold has done to help my son with his pitching. If your son is a youth pitcher, and you are looking for lessons with a great instructor, look no further. Sign him up immediately. You will be very happy with the results. read more

I saw Dr. Arnold for reoccurring lower back pain. Every no often, something would happen to "tweak" the problem and I would have severe pain. Over the years, I saw several Chiropractors for this problem and without exception, I would get a quick five minute exam, an adjustment (or several weeks of adjustments) and eventually the problem would subside. I was totally amazed by my first appointment with Dr. Arnold. He spent at least 30 minutes asking me questions and trying to get to the root of my problem before he treated me. He was the first Chiropractor to find that the cause of my discomfort originated in my upper legs. He gave me a very thorough first treatment, suggested exercises for me to work on at home, and after one follow up appointment I felt great! No problems since. I should not have been surprised by Dr. Arnold's professionalism and dedication to his craft. I met Dr. Arnold when he treated my son for a hyper-extended elbow last summer. My son hurt his arm pitching on a Sunday afternoon. I e-mailed Dr. Arnold very early Monday morning to set up an appointment. He e-mailed me back within fifteen minutes and my son was in his office at 8 AM. After an extremely thorough exam, Dr. Arnold gave my son a program to strengthen his elbow and shoulder, which he follows to this day. We have seen amazing results. I would recommend Dr. Arnold without reservation to anyone seeking Chiropractic treatment. His knowledge and compassion are without equal. read more

Dr. Arnold (Greg) has been a tremendous help to my son. We started attending Greg's training when his trainer at the time was out for six weeks. Based upon a friend's recommendation, we decided to give Greg a try rather than sit idle for those six weeks. After the initial lesson with Greg I knew we had a new trainer. Greg started working with my son's mechanics and body position. He took videos that illustrated when his body was out of position during his pitching motion. He worked with him to identify pitching terms such as "sharp shooter" - helping him work on arm release location and head position during the entire motion. My son had been high in the strike zone with his pitches his entire life (probably due to his mimicking my high release during our catches). Greg worked with him to help break this habit, and his ball is finally low in the strike zone where it needs to be. Additionally, I finally hear the pop in the catcher's glove when he pitches. This is a long time coming. Greg immediately took control of the pitching lesson - placing my son at ease and allowing him to feel comfortable when receiving direction, and involves us in the lesson when appropriate. Greg also provides constant updates on such items as maintaining arm and body health. I cannot overstate Greg's skills and expertise as well as his personal commitment, and I would highly recommend him to any parent seeking to improve their child's athletic skills. read more

This was the best chiropractic experience I have ever had. I woke up one day with a very soar neck. I tried a massage to loosen up my tense muscles. It did absolutely nothing. After a week of not being able to turn left, I woke up one morning and physically couldn't lift my head off my pillow. I wasn't sleeping because I couldn't get comfortable. I could barely turn my head at all and I couldn't take the pain and stiffness anymore. Greg was able to see me on short notice. He took the time to examine my limit of mobility, ask questions and began working on loosening me up. I appreciate that he explained everything he was doing and why. He also encouraged me to be honest about whether he was hurting me, not in the right spot where it hurt and most of all, I felt comfortable with him. By the end, he re examined my mobility. I was able to turn my head so much more. I still felt a little soar but he told him that loosing up my back up to neck and around it would help relieve the tension because pains starts at the bottom and work up. He advised I take Motrin, ice pack the left side and binge watch my favorite tv show for the day. I was actually to get comfortable after my visit with Greg. I slept for hours because I was so tired from lack of sleep. The next day I woke up 95% better!!! I could rotate my head again, bend, lift my head and sleep comfortably. By day two I was back to normal. I'd 100% recommend Greg!!!!! read more

My son, Clayton, took pitching lessons with Dr. Greg for over 5 years in California before Greg moved to New York. To say that Clayton and I miss Dr. Greg is an understatement.. . as a coach, as an advisor, and as a friend. Clayton first visited Dr. Greg when he was 9 years old and beginning his first year of player-pitch Little League. As a father, I wanted to be certain that my son learned the proper fundamentals of throwing and pitching, lessons that would serve him up for as long as he decided to play the game. What a great decision. Clayton is now 16 years old and pitching at a very high level, in both club ball and high school ball, still using the fundamentals instilled upon him 7 years ago. More importantly, Greg's emphasis on healthy mechanics has served Clayton extremely well, as he has never had an arm / shoulder / elbow injury. His lack of injury can be attributed not only to the prescribed throwing mechanics but also by the throwing program emphasized by Dr. Greg. He helped navigate us through both in season and off season do's and don'ts. His emphasis on long toss, advice regarding amount of throwing, etc. has been invaluable. Perhaps just as important is Greg's customer service. . .he is always available for questions and advice, even now when we are hours away from one another. I highly recommend Greg for the care of all of our aspiring baseball players. read more

Dr. Greg Arnold's arm/shoulder strengthening program is fantastic! It's proven through science and technology. Dr Greg is the Pitch Doctor!! The program was a major part of why my son's shoulder and elbow stayed healthy through the last few years of Showcase, travel, and HS baseball. Dr. Greg checked his shoulder strength, before and after the 12 week program and it improved exponentially. Dr. Greg also stressed doing the program on your own which my son did religiously in our basement. He also teaches you when, throughout year is the the proper time to work the program i.e. Pre-season, and in-season. I appreciated the thoroughness of the program which stressed not only strength and conditioning, but rest, care, and proper mechanics. I have recommended many people to Dr. Greg's program for not only baseball players, but for all athletes whose arm goes above the shoulder to hit or throw a ball. My son is now pitching in college and one of the main reasons is because of this program. His college coach also subscribes to this same arm/shoulder strength and conditioning program as Dr. Greg's which makes me feel comfortable his arm/shoulder (back and front) will remain strong, flexible, and healthy. If your son is a pitcher or catcher, YOU SHOULD HAVE HIM DO THIS PROGRAM!! read more

My pain started in the middle of October. I developed a pain in my right arm, just above my biceps. I figured it was a pulled muscle from pitching too many baseballs. In December the pain was getting worse, it was now time to see a doctor. In the past I had the same problem In The left arm, I went to my primary care doctor where he treated the problem with a very long needle with cortisone. I didn't want to treat this problem the same way. I found Dr. Arnold through play like a pro baseball training center, he was my son's pitching instructor. My first appointment/ evaluation, Dr. Arnold evaluated my pain and determined that my pain in the arm was caused by my upper back and neck. Dr. Arnold recommended a treatment program that consisted of The Graston Technique and VibraCussor Percussion Treatment with back and neck adjustment and several different exercises. After the second treatment my range of motion had increased and my pain level decreased. I went for a total of 12 treatment in a two month period and today, my pain is gone. I have a full range of motion and my should is the strongest its ever been. I thank Greg for all that he did for me and I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and colleagues. Tom Hoffmann.

Dr. Greg Arnold is an outstanding pitching coach. I knew my son had the natural arm strength and ability to pitch but I also began to realize that he needed proper coaching be successful, learn proper mechanics and avoid injuries which have become so common. Greg has taught us that there is a science to pitching where every part of the body has a purpose and every errant throw can be self-diagnosed and corrected. Greg's lessons and homework have made an incredible difference and were remarkably productive. My son has gone from an erratic, mechanically flawed and inconsistent pitcher last year to a confident, accurate and hard throwing one this year. His transformation as a pitcher is undeniable and when I get complements I always refer to Greg. As a result, two other families from our league have begun working with him and they are equally impressed. In addition, Greg is a warm, caring and personable coach who knows how to encourage and challenge his players. If that wasn't enough, Greg is a chiropractor and strength and conditioning coach who can assess and develop the entire body to maximize ability and avoid injuries. We are simply grateful to have found Greg and are looking forward to working with him for years to come. read more

I can't say enough about how much of a great experience working with Coach Greg Arnold was in his 12 week winter program! As a coach of a Long Island 12 yo Travel Baseball team, I needed my current pitchers to step up their pitching skill to compete in the travel circut as well as needing a few players who are on the cusp of pitching to overcome their reservations and get into my relief bullpen. One by one, Coach Arnold went through the team and immediately identified their weaknesses and found solutions that not only helped, but he addressed them to be relatable to 12 year olds. He was so focused in their session work, that I now have 8 solid pitchers on my team and my outfielders who do not have a desire to pitch, now have deadly cannons thanks to Coach Arnold's instruction and technique. I highly reccommend using him for you team pitching off season program. I am actually going to get him for a refresher week before the summer starts. I really feel that I need to make him part of out overall team plan. I came across his name by chance, but my asst coaches and player parent think Im a genius for getting him for our sons. Highly reccommend!! read more

Dr. Arnold has and continues to be an integral part of my sons pitching regiment and life. His overall knowledge around health, body mechanics and background specific to pitching is amazing. This combined with his ability to identify and communicate areas for potential health concerns coupled with the implementation of progressive change, has provided significant results for my son and has taught me a great deal. Like many fathers, I thought I can coach my son based on my past experiences only to find I better stick to "life coach" and let the professionals do their work. My son was well on his way to a short pitching career with his motion putting tremendous strain on his arm and shoulder. With Doc, we implemented significant changes and program routines during the off season that yielded quick results. Ultimately, this led him to make his school team as one of only five young men selected from his grade level. We are fortunate to know Doc, he has a wonderful outlook on life, a great communicator, and a very positive affect on my son and I and in turn, my family. The program is simple to understand and keeps kids healthy, that's the goal! read more

My 10 year old son has been playing baseball since he was five years old. After a very successful season he showed a great interest in becoming a better pitcher. Of course I was very supportive of the idea but we had one problem. I had taken him as far as i could with my knowledge of pitching. Enter Dr. Arnold. Dr. Greg's work with my son was a success in three areas. 1. He laid out a pitching program that was easy for a young player to absorb quickly. His drills to do at home between lessons were easy for my son to do on his own or with me. This aspect made the lessons waste little time and maximized the one on one time with Dr. Greg. 2. My son's throwing and pitching got better and better each week. His progress was noticeable. If he came across an issue he was taught by Dr. Greg not only why he was having a problem but how to fix it. 3. The most important thing that my son takes out of his time with Dr. Greg is a level of confidence that he has never had on the baseball field. We have seen a great deal of improvement in his play but the way my son goes about it is the most valuable aspect of the lessons. Thanks again Dr. Greg read more

My wonky spine and I flew to Long Island for a visit (I live in Seattle) and between the cramped flight in coach and a particularly awful hotel bed, I awoke on my second day here having trouble standing up and walking like Frankenstein. My girlfriend got the idea to look on Yelp for a chiropractor with Saturday hours -- thanks, Yelp! -- and found a listing for Dr. Arnold. Thinking this was a long shot, I called him around 4pm on Friday and left a voicemail telling him my situation and asking if there was any way he'd be able to fit me in. He called back soon after and we set up a visit for Saturday, and he stayed late just to see me. We spent a while going over my situation and assessing the state of my back, he took his time working on me, and ... here's the part you are waiting for ... the pain was gone and I was able to walk normally again, get up, sit down, get out of the car, and all of it without looking like an 80 year old. Thank you Dr. Arnold for making what could have been a wasted trip to NY into the awesome visit that I was hoping it would be. I absolutely will stop in again next time I'm on LI. read more

My first introduction to Dr. Arnold was about 6 years ago at a park in Northern California. I watched from the car as he worked patiently with a young pitcher. I was so impressed by his style that I approached him after the lesson to ask about his services. From there we developed a working relationship that included both athletic instruction for my kids as well as health and nutrition counseling for my whole family. Dr. Greg (as my sons' refer to him) was a super star in their development as young, healthy athletes. I truly believe his personal instruction in arm health and proper technique not only improved their skills but saved them from needless injury. He uses a tailored approach to create custom plans for the individual. What a treat to find in this one-size-fits-all world! We were all more than disappointed by his relocation to the East Coast, but we have maintained an email relationship that has allowed me to contact him for advice to this day. Dr. Arnold is a bright star in the world of health, athletics, nutrition, and holistic healing. He finds the time to make his patients a priority. read more

As an intercollegiate athlete participating in a consistent and strenuous workout regime, I have been plagued by tight hamstrings/back spasms since the beginning of my fall baseball season roughly about four months ago. While complaining of back pain during a shift at work, one of my co-workers introduced me to Dr. Arnold's Hauppauge practice and I quickly scheduled an appointment in the hopes that I would be able to regain some flexibility and lessen my daily lower-back pain. That was about two weeks ago. I have, thus far, completed two sessions with Dr. Arnold. Within the first five minutes of my initial appointment he was able to diagnose my exact issue (tight hip flexors) and displayed the expertise to create an effective treatment program that has already alleviated up to 80% of my back pain at times. To that end, I have already scheduled a third appointment with Dr. Arnold. I find his treatment to be beneficial to both my athletic performance and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I would and have already recommended his practice to my family and friends experiencing similar pains and discomforts. read more
