I had a really positive experience and was surprised at how much better I felt immediately. Since I had both the time and the inclination, I walked-in on a weekday evening with no appointment and with no idea what to expect or even what was "wrong". I knew my body / back hurt a lot and so I figured it was worth trying. This was my first time visiting a chiropractor and it won't be my last. Dr. Lichy was professional, made me feel comfortable and I appreciated that he communicated with me during the visit about what he was doing. I have no idea what he did or if the entire block heard the sounds of my body snapping back into alignment, but I know I felt tremendously better immediately. The receptionist was welcoming and efficient in checking me out after the appointment. I'll definitely be back for a follow up visit ! read more

Isaac Lichy, DC - ...and this is the AFTER picture!! It's still my feet, but they actually line up next to each other, as I believe they are supposed to. - Chiropractors Near Me - New York, New York

See all

I have been going to Dr. Lichy for many years. I followed him from his previous office on East 87th Street to his present office at 222 East 68th Street. He is a superstar. I had back problems and a neurosurgeon told me that I must have back surgery because I tried everything else. I said to the neurosurgeon - "What if I tried Spinal Decompression". He said "That might work". Dr. Lichy is one of the few chiropractors that has the Spinal Decompression table. It's sort of like traction where you lay on a table and the machine stretches the spine to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. It is often used to treat chronic back or neck pain. It reduces the pain associated with conditions like herniated or bulging discs which I had. Needless to say, between the spinal decompression and the amazing adjustments of Dr. Lichy, back surgery wasn't necessary! I feel so much better. He always takes the time to answer any questions that I have in a way that's easy to understand. He runs a very professional and well-organized practice. Without any hesitation, I would definitely recommend Dr Lichy to anyone, including my family and friends. read more

Today I had the honor of meeting Dr. Lichy and being his patient; first time I try and now I wonder why I didn't do it before? .... Wow Dr Lichy and his magical hands freed me in 15 minutes from the discomfort that I had been having for days!!! , I must admit that I was very nervous but thanks to his patience and professionalism I had the best experience without counting the relief I had at the end of the session. ! It was worth it, thank you Dr for everything. Super recommended read more

Dr. Lichy has been absolutely integral in my healing journey. I just had my first child so my body's moved around a bit internally, including my pelvis (which means spine as well, which means EVERYTHING else in your body #amirite). Now throw a car accident into the mix! Yay....... If it weren't for Dr. Lichy I'd be walking around in serious pain everyday. I feel like a new woman immediately after my visits. Not to mention his calm, cool, caring, and candid demeanor. He's well-loved by the community for good reason. The photo I added is a before & after of the heels of my feet. In the first photo you can see the disparity between my heels because of my misaligned pelvis that has my back and body in pain from trying to compensate for the other side. The second photo is after just one alignment with Dr. Lichy! When I saw this, I asked him if he just performed magic, my mind was so blown! Can't recommend him enough. read more

Isaac Lichy, DC - BEFORE & AFTER alignment by Dr. Lichy. - Chiropractors Near Me - New York, New York

I came less than a year ago while pregnant to get my back realigned and all that. This office didn't take my insurance but they worked out something that I wouldn't have to pay the full out of pocket cost. Lichy was great! He was knowledgeable, explained everything he was doing, and I felt fantastic after. Here's why I refuse to give him a 5. As I mentioned, they do not take my insurance. I made an appointment last week for both my husband and I (we have the same insurance type). The receptionist said "ok great we'll see you next week". I called yesterday to cancel my husbands appointment, she asked if I was still coming, I replied yes. Today I am running late, so I call and ask if it's ok that I'm 15 min late to which she replied no problem see you soon. When I walk in and tell her my name, she goes "oh sorry Vanessa but we don't take your insurance". I explain to her what they did last time. "Oh yea we can't do that again". She admitted that she checked 10 min beforehand. I spoke to her so many times. It's ridiculous that I wasn't informed of the change they made prior to my visit. I spoke to her SOOOOO many times before showing up. Then Lichy says "it's the patient's responsibility" which then I completely lost it. They should've told me and had PLENTY of opportunities to tell me instead of waiting until not even the day but the moment i checked in. Check if they take your insurance because if they do, it's a great experience but if they don't they'll be super sketch about it. read more

I started going to Dr. Lichy for help with my back and neck pain during the pandemic, and he has become an essential part of my pain management. I find when I don't make it to the office for a few weeks, I truly feel the difference, pain-wise. I also appreciate how he shows you the difference he's made (for example, taking a picture of my legs/feet before and after the adjustment to show how crooked everything was). Not only is he an excellent chiropractor, Dr. Lichy is also a great guy. He's super easy going and makes you feel comfortable immediately. He and his awesome receptionist, Maria, make me feel so welcome in the office and like I'm there for a fun visit vs just a patient. They're also incredibly accommodating and willing to work through any issues be it insurance or scheduling. I cannot recommend this office enough for your chiropractic needs!! read more

Great doc! Adjusts my back regularly and does a great job. Also evened out my leg length discrepancy in the first visit. Would highly recommend. read more

After a really bad car accident I was totally out of alignment and knew it. I know my body enough to know when I need help. I arrived to Dr. Lichy's office and literally my arms were uneven... Within 5 minutes that was miraculously resolved! Great chiropractor on the UES if you need support -- I'm fairly active and am, admittedly, the worst stretcher known to mankind, so I certainly frequent the chiropractor. It's good to know that I have one close by that knows his craft so well. read more

Great No-Fault Chiropractic office. I was in a car accident and went to Dr Isaac for treatment. They offer physical therapy, chiropractic, all in one office. The office location is convenient to public transportation. The wait was very quick and fast. The office is spotless, brand new, and clean. Maria his assistant is one of the nicest people you can meet. i definitely recommend Dr Isaac best chiropractor in midtown hands down read more

This was my third time seeing Dr.Lichy. I woke up with such a bad headache, I couldn't function all day. I was glad Dr.Lichy had availability in the evening. My headache was gone after and adjustment. Highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I truly appreciate his hard work, dedication and longevity on the Upper East Side. Despite seeing another chiropractors, in his absence, Dr. Lichy hands work magic! Thanks for being a long time friend and go-to-chiropractor! Now you officially have the SUPREME TOUCH! read more

Okay, Where do I begin. First off I must say it's very clean with a pleasant atmosphere. The receptionist automatically greets you when you enter regardless if attending a client. I didn't know what to expect my first time there, but it was amazing. I even brought some carbon fiber insoles afterwards because I felt great. I watched a few videos on YouTube so I could know what to expect but when I got there it was better than the videos. Dr.Isaac took care of me and I didn't feel like he was just trying to take my money. If I have a problem keeping an appointment they're more than happy to accommodate me without having an attitude because I couldn't keep it. Dr. Isaac talk to you and engages with you. I like that a lot because I hate feeling uncomfortable whenever I'm at the doctors office. I would tell anybody who is looking for or just tired of your chiropractor stop and see Dr. Isaac because he's the one on top of him being such a chill person. read more

This was my first time going to Dr. Lichy. I have a history of lower back pain and I found myself in need of help. When I go from sitting to standing or getting up from laying down, the pain has been unbearable. He first used an electrical stimuli type thingee that targeted the area and I even got a chance to try the T Zone Vibration machine too. Then we did the adjustment. Perfect! I feel much much better and this was just a start. I found Dr. Lichy to be very patient, kind, professional, courteous. He was very busy but I was definitely not rushed. I was amazed how he managed everything so well, as his assistant is away right now. I work in healthcare and I was impressed at how he was handling the door, paperwork, treatment, etc. Bravo! I look forward to my future treatments with Dr. Lichy. read more

Dr. Lichy is really wonderful! I have constant neck and back pain and with even one session will feel significant improvement. Dr. Lichy is very personable and takes the time to educate his patients and discuss their issues. read more

Dr. Lichy helps me more than taking 2 oxys. Seriously!! I have a tough case- I have a bone disease which causes a spinal deformity and have had 3 back surgeries before turning 30 years old. Dr Lichy knows exactly what he's doing, he seriously is so helpful, I trust him w my complex case and you will be in the right hands w him. His office is also beautiful with all the best equipment and a very friendly staff. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Lichy for a few years now since when I lived in the Upper East Side. I live in Brooklyn now, but I still commute over to his place when I can make it there. Dr. Lichy is super-friendly and down-to-earth, personality-wise. As for service-wise, he's thorough, knowledgeable, and gives the best adjustments I've ever had. (I'd been to a couple other chiropractors in the past.) There's nothing more I can ask for; I strongly recommend! :) Also- Almost forgot to mention: He takes walk-in appointments, with minimal to no wait-times in my experiences. read more

I just went to dr isaac lichy for the first time after two years of back pain. i work on my feet all day and my back always hurts. My head is always down and contorting the wrong muscles in my back and neck. after my first adjustment i felt immediate relief. the lengths of my legs did not measure the same nor my arms and after the first adjustment they were aligned. im so grateful i finally went to the chiropractor--its exactly what my body needed. Isaac Lichy is very nice and welcoming person i am so happy i came to his office i will be going back in two days for my second time. I highly recommend his services. read more

After my first visit I felt awesome. Was able to speed walk again. Walk up and down the stairs with no pain. Putting on and taking off my pants was painful, until that night I went home and my hips felt so much better. Thank You Dr. Lichy read more

Amazing! I saw Dr. Lichy for my first chiropractic visit and I have been a die-hard fan ever since. From the very beginning, Dr. Lichy explained every aspect of the adjustment so that I would understand the process; afterward he gave me advice about my posture, my sleep positions and offered suggestions for pillows based on my complaints. Truthfully, I have been to other chiropractors in a pinch because Dr. Lichy's office is closed on weekends and not one other chiropractor has been as good, caring or as passionate about his work as Dr. Lichy. I do not go for adjustments as often as I should, but every single time I visit him I kick myself for waiting so long and suffering in pain for no reason when he will instantly ease that pain. Honestly, you feel like a whole new, pain-free person as soon as Dr. Lichy is finished adjusting you. I do not understand the two bad reviews posted here, (he didn't offer his hand to help me off the table? Really?? What sales pitch? You attempt to shame him for being concerned about your health and well-being?). Then again there is one in every crowd...some people are never happy. Ignore the bitter and bad reviews and go experience his expertise for yourself. read more

Dr. Lichy was great! I have had neck and lower back pain bothering me for quite some time. He not only noticed some adjustments that I needed right away, but fixed them and has followed up in future appointments to see my progress. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Lichy for years. A friend of mine who is a dancer on Broadway recommended him. It's nice to know my spine is in good hands! I always leave his office feeling amazing. He listens to any and all of my concerns and puts me at ease right away. Finding the right chiropractor is important, and I can honestly say, I would never see anyone else but Dr. Lichy! read more

Due to an unfortunate car accident, I've been coming to Dr. Lichy since early April 2019. He's helped me understand my healing process and has not failed to keep me informed about my injuries. Because accidents can get complicated, I'm extremely grateful that I found Dr. Lichy -- especially because he listens and understands what I've been going through as a patient and as a person. Would recommend his practice to everyone, it's always beneficial to learn about your back. read more

Saw Dr. Lichy as a new patient today and had a wonderful experience. I'm 29 weeks pregnant and suffering from awful lower back and SI joint pain. By the time I left, I felt immediate relief and was able to walk much more comfortably. I had seen another chiropractor earlier that day and the difference in his adjustments was major! He answered all my questions and showed me a few recommended stretches to do at home. I definitely plan on seeing him through and after my pregnancy! read more

I didn't find that my time at Dr. Lich'y appointment was all that well. It seems that he is bouncing all over the place---upstairs, downstairs, answering the door, phones, doing insurance, paperwork, etc. He didn't give me a good idea of a plan for what I should be doing to improve or how often to come. The examination was nothing of memory compared to 2 other chiropractors I've seen. He seemed to not seem interested in having me as a patient. As the 2 stars review says on Yelp, "Meh. I've experienced better." read more

Dr Lichy correctly diagnosed my issue within seconds and fixed it within minutes. Other providers couldn't help me. A simple realignment by Dr Lichy cured my 2month long back pain. Thank you! read more

I had a lot of pain in my back, neck, and arm on the right side. Dr. Lichy's treatments were effective after even one session, and I will continue to go back. His office takes my insurance, a big plus, and is very convenient to the 4/5/6. I did find the office experience to be a bit disorganized, hence 4/5 stars, but am grateful that my body feels so much better. In fact, I recommended him to my husband, who has never had chiropractic care before - and that's my highest recommendation of care! read more

Based on all the positive reviews I went to Dr. Lichy to see if he could help with some lower back pain I was experiencing. My first visit was fairly positive and he help alleviate some of the pain. However, at the end of the visit he started talking about how insurance would process my payment. I asked him if there was a co-pay and he said he wasn't sure of the amount but would file the claim and then I would give him the reimbursement from the insurance company. This seemed quite unusual as my previous chiropractor only charged a $40 co-pay and processed the rest through my insurance. However, I trusted Dr.lichy to do what was best for me financially... my mistake. Two weeks later my back pain returned so I scheduled a return visit. The visit I got very minimal attention as he was on a call the whole time as he does not have an admin. I got a quick correction to my neck and no relief for the back pain. At the end of the visit he proceeded to tell me he didn't take my insurance and gave me a bill for $250!!! I was completely livid that he waited two visits to tell me this even though I gave him my insurance before my first visit. Completely unprofessional as every doctor I go to tells me if they take my insurance and the co-pay prior to a visit. My mistake for not checking myself. I also ended up having to get my back corrected elsewhere because he didn't accurately identify my issue. I am shocked by all the good reviews as my experience was far from such. read more

My discomfort has lessened and I'm bringing my husband with me for my next appointment so he can get a session also. He's truly helped me and definitely suggest his services! read more

No, I do not have him confused with someone else. Case and point instead of apologizing he is defensive. Lichy the review is not here for you to approve of it's here to help the community. Next time tone down your sales tactic and be nicer. read more

My family and i have been coming here for years. Great service. Highly recommend Dr Lichy.

Dr Lichy is a chiropractor of the highest level. He has been coaching me for the last 10 years and assisted me in improving my patient care. He is the type of chiropractor that is always searching for a better way to help his patients. Dr. Lichy holds himself to the highest moral and ethical standards. You will be very impressed when you choose to have him as your health care provider. read more

Dr. Lichy is fantastic! I was seen immediately upon arriving to his office. Dr. Lichy listened attentively to my pain history and offered a comprehensive plan of care to improve my chronic back pain. I left his office feeling great! Thanks! read more

Dr. Lichy has a great pair of hands. It has been around 6-7 sessions till now with him over 3 weeks and I have a lot of relief from my neck and back pain. The pain is still there and I am sure with regular care I will be free of this pain. I was told by surgeons to go for ACDF surgery as soon as possible. Dr. Lichy gave me the trust that I am not a candidate for surgery and I surely feel so after only a few adjustment sessions with him. He is a very good chiropractor. I feel great after the adjustments. read more

Came in for my shoulder pain and Dr. Lichy is the best! Walked out like a million $$ for a great price!

Dr. Lichy is fantastic chiropractor. He cares about his patients. He takes the time to understand your medical history. Because of this he can more effectively choose which tools in his tool belt he can best utilize to get you feeling better. For those suffering from sciatic pain you need to go see Dr. Lichy. He has a traction machine and a split table that will help decompress your spine allowing your disks to retreat back between the vertebrae where they belong. This is an excellent non-surgical treatment for herniated disks. You NEED to go see Dr. Lichy and let him get you back to your normal life, fast! read more

I recommend Dr Lichy for any one that suffers back pain let Dr Lichy adjust your back and you will definitely be back.

I have been going to chiropractors most of my life. This was my first time with Dr. Lichy. Had a great experience! Highly recommend!

Awesome Chiropractor! Very knowledgeable and personable. Most importantly I felt immediate relief on my back and neck along with better shoulder stability and the pain on my foot has disappeared. read more

I have been having severe pain and discomfort in my lower back due to my constant sitting at work throughout the day. I came into Dr. Lichy's office for the first time this week and right away he was able to help relieve my pain. He performed a spinal adjustment and from the moment I left his office, I felt 100x better. He also provided me with some very helpful routines to perform throughout the day to relieve the pain. I will certainly be returning to him on a regular basis. Thank you Dr. Lichy! Highly recommended. read more
