I've been going to physical therapy for 6mo (25-30 sessions) for back/neck strain and herniated discs. It's been a year since injury and never fully recovered. After one session with Dr Prisco, a few days later I woke up feeling 95% recovered, which was the best I felt since my injury. Would highly recommend Dr Prisco (and Atsuhiko)! read more

Thank you Dr Prisco. I look forward to the journey of stronger practice and care of my back. Thank you for the care and detail used in developing my treatment plan. read more

I hurt my back lifting a concrete sign at work and for days I couldn't walk. My boyfriend had to dress me and halfway carry me to the uber to see Dr. Prisco for my first appointment bc I couldn't do it myself. When I got in he was very professional and empathetic (with good covid precautions) and helped me to walk to the adjustment room & get on the table. He felt my back and told me I had a bulging disc that may also be herniated between my L4 and L5 and had his colleague give me a medical massage but he declined to do any major adjustment without me first having an x-ray and MRI as my back was spasming so bad it was causing me blackouts and he didn't want to make it worse. But he gave me some physical therapy, some tips on hot/cold therapies/ at home stretches I could do and advised me to seek further immediate medical care. Im new to NYC and he helped me navigate the health system here in a way that was above and beyond. I ended up having to go to the ER bc my GP said my condition was so bad and although the ER docs said there's no way to know what's wrong without those images, sure enough, it was a bulging and herniated disc between my L4-L5 just as Dr.Prisco had said. I went for follow up after and received medical message, physical therapy and a gentle adjustment much more reminiscent of my favorite osteopath in Paris than some violent cracking chiropractors I've seen in the states. His professionalism and bedside manner are second to none but unfortunately this is a workmans comp case which he doesn't do. I'm upset I won't get to continue seeing Dr Prisco for this as he instructed me it could harm my workmans comp case (and gave me advice for a new chiro for this case) but will be sure to see him for follow up in the future. I have been seeing countless chiropractors for 18 years in 4 different countries and have never received better advise, care or follow up. He even made me laugh with some corny spinal jokes- which after a week of tears was a welcome release. I don't have health insurance and his uninsured prices are very reasonable. it's been 6 days since I first saw Dr.Prisco and already I can walk again with mostly just mild discomfort. 10/10 will return and recommend. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Prisco for more than 5 years, and have followed him from the time he was part of a general Chiropractic office to now where he has his own practice. Dr. Prisco has always made an effort to tailor his chiropractic care to suit my needs. When I first started coming to Dr. Prisco, I was coming 3 times each week. He's helped me to the point where I merely come once a month for maintenance care. I've really seen an improvement in my posture and back pain since starting with him. Each time I go to Dr. Prisco, I get individual attention from both himself, as well as the massage therapist on staff. They pay attention to the pain I'm having that day, and do a combination of chiropractic, massage therapy, and physical therapy. I definitely recommend Dr. Prisco if you're looking for a good chiropractic and wellness routine. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Prisco for a month and he is fantastic. Lower back pain is gone and I go in periodically for adjustment in mid/upper back. I really trust him and know I'm in good hands! He also takes my insurance (Aetna) read more

Dr. Prisco was extremely helpful in diagnosing an issue I had with my upper back and treating it from where it was unbearable to a much improved state. When I moved away from New York, he assisted in identifying a new physical therapist/chiropractor and sent over my x-rays quickly. Scheduling and changing appointments was always easy - particularly one day that I had a lot of pain and was flying out that evening; he fit me into the schedule and made a bad situation much better. Would highly recommend. read more

Dr. Prisco is an excellent chiropractor. He has a whole body wellness approach that works. I've struggled with knee, hip, and back pain for years and years from playing sports my whole life. After just a couple visits with him, my knee pain is completely gone and the rest has significantly improved. Before I found Dr. Prisco, I had spent thousands of dollars on ortho visits and rounds of physical therapy and nothing worked, but now I walk around free of knee pain. He has a great office, in a great location, and flexible hours. If you have any concerns he takes the time to go over everything with you in detail. He also has a massage assistant who is wonderful! I highly recommend Dr. Prisco's practice and cannot say enough good things about it! read more

Dr. Prisco is fantastic. I first saw him with a debilitating back injury that made it painful to walk or move. As a 26 year old active male, that's never a good thing. He quickly diagnosed the source of my pain and came up with a treatment and rehabilitation plan. I've been going back ever since to ensure I don't get re-injured. He takes care to get to know you as a person and give you all the help he can. His bedside manner is top notch. I came based on high reviews on ZocDoc and proximity to my office and apartment. So glad I made that choice. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I have been patients of Doctor Prisco for over 6 years. I've had numerous reoccurring issues over the years; neck pain so bad I couldn't sleep, migraines resulting from bad posture, and this last round, numb fingers and pain from a shoulder injury. When things get bad: I call Prisco. I always leave feeling better than when I came in. His practice offers a combination of approaches that have helped my family as we've experienced injuries resulting from both active and, at times, inactive lifestyles. Doctor Prisco is attentive and hands on but is also very cautious only to make adjustments when necessary. He also works with his staff masseuse offering expert medical massage to carefully adjust, soothe injuries as well as help pinpoint the nature of the problem. He also always works with me one on one and patiently describes the nature of what he's doing and walks me through exercises to improve my condition, safeguard my progress and strengthen my body. We've recommended friends, family and colleagues to Doctor Prisco and if you're experiencing pain I wouldn't hesitate to book an appointment today. read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Prisco. I felt immediate relief from my lower back pain after one session with him. He spent time explaining what could possibly be the issue (advised that I would need a x-ray to confirm) and showed me some exercises and ways to help improve the stress in my lower back in the meantime. He was attentive, patience and very informative. In regards to the facility, it is well kept and clean. I highly recommend. read more

Dr Prisco is an amazing chiro!! I had a chiro emergency that caused me to stand crooked and was in so much pain. I called a few places and nobody would squeeze me in, but thankfully Dr Prisco made time to see me immediately and answered all of my concerns and gave me great advice to prevent my spinal pain from reoccurring. I'm also so grateful that he adjusted my back without cracking it! Overall, his treatment was excellent and he cares a lot about his patients. I will definitely be returning read more

I've been seeing Dr. Prisco for at least five years now and he was working at this Chelsea location where I see him even before I became his patient. I always feel like I'm being treated as a friend, not just as a random patient. He's always generous with his time, yet somehow maintains his punctuality. I've easily seen Dr. Prisco over 100 times now, but I've lost count at this point. There's presently no one else I'd prefer for maintaining my spinal health and I'm not looking! read more

I've been to this practice a couple of times in the last month and have had nothing but a great experience all around! Dr. Prisco and his staff are courteous, professional and the office is clean and very well maintained. Dr. Prisco is very knowledgeable, and I came in with lower back pain and already feel much better after only a few sessions.... (also have been experiencing a good side effect of better digestion in the last couple weeks as well which I did not know was correlated ). Hoping to keep coming in to help with my posture and maintain my lower back/shoulders as I have an office job and sit at a desk all day. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Prisco is a great chiropractor! 5 stars is well deserved. Always on time and great treatment.

Doctor Prisco is my go to! Him and his staff have helped me though a lot of various injuries. The massage therapy is top notch as well. Would highly recommend! read more

Dr. Prisco is practically a magician. I injured my back 2 years ago jumping on a rebounder, and it was extremely painful to sit, walk or do any exercise. I was pretty desperate for relief, and a close friend recommended Dr. Prisco. I kid you not, after one session, I felt 90% better and then a few days later...100%. Kind of a miracle since I was in pain for so long. He did very gentle, subtle adjustments, used a machine that released electromagnetic impulses into my lower back, and then placed a special surgical tape along my lower back that I was instructed to keep on for a few days. I felt amazing at the end of that week, and a year later, I still feel great! I definitely need to be careful to not re-injure myself, but I truly feel that session triggered the healing process for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend him! read more

I recommend Dr. Prisco to anyone looking for a chiropractor in NYC. I'm lucky enough to have an office close to his so I see him at least once, sometimes twice a week. I have a mid back issue and muscle tension in my upper back and neck that his adjustments along with Dr. Lee's massage therapy have helped to relieve. It's my favorite part of my day and I always feel great afterwards. I also really like his scheduling system. Some doctors are behind the times with their payment and scheduling but Dr. Prisco is on ZocDoc and scheduling with his assistant is simple. I get email reminders that Google adds to my calendar automatically. It's how every medical practitioner should operate. read more

I have been under the care of Dr. Prisco for about 15 years. He treats my lower back discomfort caused by wearing a work belt all day required by my job as a law enforcement officer. I also train martial arts and Dr Prisco treats my entire spine weekly so I can stay mobile. His office is convenient for me it is also clean and comfortable. Call him today for an appointment if you want to feel great! read more

I'm very happy with the results I've seen from going to Dr. Prisco. Having seen several different chiropractors before, he's definitely one of the most effective. The pricing is fair, he doesn't try to sell you on a ton of other things and the scheduling is flexible. Plus, besides the adjustment, I often get a medical massage which always helps. Of course I'm also given exercises to do too. Would definitely recommend! read more

I have been attending Prisco Chiropractic's offices for 10 years now on and off. I initially found his practice on Zocdoc as it was located near my office and I was virtually unable to walk. I came in and Dr. Prisco evaluated me, sent me for imaging and in the interim provided me with care and a back brace to help alleviate my pain. I began with 3 sessions of physical therapy a week for about a month or so and I was finally able to walk and return to the gym. He and his team would follow up with me consistently to assure I was in a good place physically. I stopped going multiple times a week until about two months after I was back where I started. He created a plan to get me back on my feet and with his instructions, stretches, exercise and massages I was feeling great. Unfortunately due to my condition, I will have to continue to go to the office as it's the only way I have any relief. He even went as far as to go to my office to set up my work space to maximize my productivity and alleviate any pain I was experiencing due to the set up. I recommend Dr. Prisco to anyone having back, neck, and overall pain. With the stresses of life and health issues involved I look forward to my appointments there for relief. It's easy to get an appointment and the care I receive there is top notch. I have referred him to co-workers, friends and family alike. Thank you Dr. Prisco for giving me back my sanity. read more

I have been seeing dr. Prisco for chiropractic for a month. He has been a life saver. I had chronic neck pain that was radiating down to my shoulder. Physical therapy and muscle relaxants was not able to help me. He does a little of everything, deep muscle massage, stim, and lastly the adjustment. I had four visits so far and I can say I am about 85% better! Thank you! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Prisco for over 12 years. I have seen him for a range of issues from low back and sciatic issues, to headaches, to neck and shoulder problems. He has a warm and kind bedside manner and he is extremely gentle and knowledgeable in his treatments. He has a multi discipline approach and utilizes different modalities to treat based on the specific needs of each patient. I have worked as a chiropractic assistant and massage therapist in other practices and have seen dozens of chiropractors over the years as I have moved around the country and I always come back to Dr. Prisco because I have had the best results with him. I no longer live In NY, but travel there for work once a month and make it a point to see Dr. Prisco when I can. I highly recommend him to anyone he may be in pain or just looking for a trustworthy and effective chiropractor. read more

Really appreciate what Chris and his team were able to do for me. I had major muscle issues that were causing my sciatic nerve to be pinched. There were days I could barely move...I visited them about 6 times and each time it got a little better. He also recommended stretches and exercises I could do at home. They're also very flexible with scheduling. read more

I came into Dr. Prisco with a tight back and neck as a result of playing far too much golf. He has helped me significantly reduce ongoing tension and recover more quickly after playing. Highly recommended for golfers! read more

Highly recommend, very welcoming and doesn't rush or force the injury fix. I've had really bad muscle spams in my neck and upper back for the first time in my life, he and his team have helped immensely!! Super patient and gives recos on stretches too. read more

Just had my second session with Dr. Prisco. I injured my lower back and was able to schedule an appointment the same day I contacted his office. Gave a thorough evaluation that made complete sense to me. Left office feeling immense improvement. Dr. Prisco is extremely knowledgable and easy to understand. read more

Quick neck, shoulder, back relief. Also have lower back pains which he was able to help without prescription meds. Showed me simple exercises to relieve pressure from my lower back as well as recommending supplements to help recovery from osteoarthritis. Overall happy with the results. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Prisco's since 2008. He's seen me through two pretty substantial injuries---a bike crash and a fall in the subway during a snowstorm (thanks MTA). I've put in a lot of work myself to improve the state of my health overall, but he's been a very helpful voice all along, often correctly diagnosing other problems that were confirmed with imaging. He adapts his treatments to the patient, and doesn't just follow the script. The massage work that's now available is very well worth it and the scheduling flexibility has been really great. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Prisco is amazing! One adjustment so far and wow! I was achy and had pain in my upper back, neck and felt bad all over. Not only did my back feel relief right after my first adjustment (which also opened up my lungs), I also had better energy and neck felt relief as well!! I've been feeling fatigued a lot lately and I couldn't believe how some of that fatigue lifted for days following my visit with him. So glad I found him! Thank you Dr. Prisco! read more

Dr. Prisco is amazing! I started seeing him a few months ago for a muscle injury to my ribs, brought on by repeated intense strength training workouts. He has been working with me to not just relieve my pain and heal my injury, but has also given me exercises to strengthen my core/back/shoulder muscles so that I don't re-injure myself. In addition, he and the massage therapist have been instrumental in relieving the tension in my upper back/shoulders/neck. Dr. Prisco is extremely perceptive and makes you feel comfortable from the minute you walk into his office. After working with him for several months, I was able to go back to my workout regimen last week with absolutely no pain at all! read more

Dr. Prisco is great! He's been helping me for a long time for back and shoulder issues. Every time I leave the office, I feel better. He's really good at diagnosing the problem and extremely knowledgeable about rehab exercises to do at home. Great massage therapist on staff too! Thanks as always Dr. P!! read more

I have suffered from pain and tingling in my hand on and off for about two or three years. I have gone to see my GP, DO, and neurologist and none have been able to help discern what what causing my symptoms or how to relieve them. My coworker recommended seeing a chiropractor and mentioned Dr Prisco. I called him that day and he was me to get me in that evening after work. I have been back to visit him two more times and have had virtually no pain or tingling since my first visit. He has helped me through adjustments and showing me various exercises and stretches to strengthen my shoulder and alleviate my symptoms. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Prisco was so thoughtful, careful, and truly cared about helping me with my back pain. I was in from out of town and accommodated me that same day. Highly recommend. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Prisco and his staff. After reaggravating a lower back injury, I reached out to Dr. Prisco and he was able to fit me into his schedule right away. By the end of my first session, I already experienced a great deal of pain relief. Dr. Prisco is extremely friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone searching for a chiropractor in NYC. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Prisco! A couple years ago, I injured my neck while moving into my new apartment. I eventually saught help from a physical therapist, only to find that the pain and pressure in my neck were not improving. My friend had referred Dr. Prisco to me and spoke very highly of his treatment. I was hesitant, but decided to make an appointment anyway and I'm so grateful that I did. Turned out, I had multiple herniations in my neck. Since having Dr. Prisco's treatment, my neck tightness and pressure has subsided, as well as the numbness I was experiencing in my arm and hand. His gentleness, careful adjustments and workout routines have helped so much. I highly recommend Dr. Prisco's treatment! read more

When I first met Dr. Prisco, I was suffering from crippling lower back and hip pain, stemming from the fact that I had two herniated discs in my lumbar spine, and ligament damage to my hip. As a former college basketball player and all around exercise enthusiast, I had been damaging my spine and hips for years by not taking the steps to rectify the imbalances in my body. I had seen 5 orthopedics, 4 chiropractors and countless physical therapists by the time I met Dr. Prisco. He was the first one to take a universal approach to my injury, as opposed to just focusing on the injured discs themselves. His deep knowledge of kinetics and ergonomics was invaluable to my recovery process. He explained to me how the origin of my problem was the strength and flexibility imbalances in my hips, and how this was affecting the pressure on my lower back. He helped me to create a personalized exercise program in order to speed up my recovery, as well as provided me with the chiropractic, and ergonomic adjustments I needed. Dr. Prisco's diagnosis was spot on, and I started improving and getting stronger every week. Now, six months later, I am back on the court and in the weight room, as strong and stable as ever. There was a point I began to think that I would never get back to this level physically or athletically, but Dr. Prisco was the one to finally help me get back to this point, and I could not give a higher recommendation of him as a physician and as a person. -R.M.

Last month I had the worst back and neck pain I couldn't even move or talk. And it was right after the Sandy storm. Most of the offices in Manhattan were closed. But luckily I was able to set up an appointment with Dr. Prisco. He totally helped my back and I felt so much better after even just one visit. He definitely seemed to know what he was doing, and he explained everything I asked. I have been visiting Dr. Prisco for over a month now, and his chiropractic therapy has been incredibly helpful for me in isolating my back pain. Dr. Prisco is very knowledgeable about the muscular and skeletal systems and uses this to effectively treat my back pain. I have found him to be very professional and attentive. In each session he has taken the time to listen to me, answer all my questions and explain what he believes to be the cause of my back pain and showed me all necessary stretching exercises to relieve my pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Prisco!! read more

Dr. Prisco and Dr. Lee are the best. I hurt my lower back as a surgical ICU nurse (lifting, pulling, turning patients) and was in agony for four days. I realized I had hurt my back the following morning when I woke up and knew I was in trouble. Dr. Prisco took me right away and really helped me out. He was professional, informative and caring. He showed me exactly where I injured my back through his spine model and adjusted me appropriately. Dr. Lee then came in and gave the most therapeutic massage. Dr. Prisco also iced my lower back and ordered me a back brace for work. My career depends on my back (which is sacred to me) and I wouldn't have a career if I injured it permanently. Luckily, meeting Dr. Prisco I do not have that problem and I am gainfully employed as a critical care nurse. Thank you thank you thank you! I highly recommend this practice and will be spreading the word to my colleagues. PS the office is a clean, relaxing, comfortable atmosphere (and smells great!) read more
