The team at Living Well Balanced in my experience works very well together, so that the chiropractor (whomever it is, currently either one of two on duty) can tailor his/ her work according to the status noted by my PT (Physical Therapist), and even the occasional massage therapist. All have access to my history and latest notes. I have been under treatment for the past year (May '21 - May '22) after needing rehab re being bedridden for a couple months post hospitalization. The PT from the hospital (one of the best in NYC) had visited me and given me basic instructions, but these were not really enough, I found out. For an unrelated issue a friend recommended LWB. After making steady progress back to the pre hospitalization state, the LWB team found many more areas that could be improved, and went about helping me address them one by one. Some were never addressed properly by prior PT's BTW. So in a way getting hospitalized was a blessing in disguise ! read more

Wrecked my vision, jaw and neck after a bad manipulation and basically wrecked my life. Spent years running around to doctors appointments trying to undo the damage they caused. I can't discourage people enough from trusting this business. When I went back in to tell the doctor what had happened he tried to sell me a massage and gaslight me instead of taking accountability. I wrote a review on another platform and they seriously tried to lie in the response and say I wasn't a patient. WHAT!? read more

OMG! Dr. J and his staff are great! He and Leia the physical therapist have done so much in such a short time to elevate the pain and tension in my neck and back. I'm so glad I found him! Thank you Dr. J! read more

The team at Living Well Balanced is the best I have seen. They coordinate treatment and talk to each other about what they are doing. Tomoko is the best message therapist with her cupping and healing techniques and Dr. Michael is the best chiropractor I have ever had. He "knows" where the pain is and gets your whole body back into balance. Thank you! My back has never been better. read more

I never leave negative reviews online ever but I've thought a lot about this and need to warn other people from going here. I had the worst experience of my life last year with this chiropractor. I came in for (liveable) back pain and after an adjustment of my jaw woke up with jaw, neck and head pain that took over my life. Everyday I'd wake up with the excruciating jaw pain that affected my work and normal day-to-day life. I went back in after it happened (I've never had a jaw issue in my life) and the chiropractor said "It's not like your back was perfect before" and tried to sell me on a massage. If he had actually tried to help me and hold himself accountable I would not be writing this review. It took me a year and a half of physical therapy and thousands of dollars to alleviate my pain that he caused and my jaw is still not the same. I hate leaving negative reviews for small businesses but after much contemplation this needed to be said. read more

Dr. Prakash and his staff are knowledgeable, personable, and caring. As a returning patient, I feel like a part of a big family; Dr. P. holds monthly dinner parties where clients can mingle and hear a guest speaker talk about health, or anything else. Upon your first visit, you will first be impressed by the extensive evaluation process. Be prepared to have basically every aspect of your health evaluated and presented in a packet that you can refer to after being tested again after a few months of treatment. Dr. P. is passionate about his own education, and sometimes takes off a day or two to work on his own personal development by going to lectures, etc., and if he really likes the speaker, hooks them up with his clients, either in the form of a dinner party or handout or special promotion. Dr. Prakash is not a typical Chiropractor, happy and settled with his practice. He is always working hard to improve his services, whether it be his technique, extra services he can offer, and his career in general, which directly helps his clients. I haven't gone to his office once without learning about something new he is working on to help his patients. Go to Well Balanced Chiropractic if you want to be in the hands of a passionate, caring health care professional. read more

Living Well Balanced - Chiropractors Near Me - New York, New York

I've been a patient at Living Well for almost 2 years now and I can say that the routine has certainly given me a new strength in life - physically and mentally.

This place saved my life. I suffered from back pain for years, and went to other chiropractors, tried acupuncture, yoga, ergonomic desks, insoles, but nothing worked. After getting consistent care at LWB, I no longer have pain, and my fitness and posture have dramatically improved. They have a holistic approach that can include chiropractic, physical therapy, massage and personal training. Everyone is friendly and professional and excellent at what they do. I really don't know what I would've done these last few years without their consideration and expertise. read more

Well Balanced Chiropractic is the positive change and direction we are now seeing in the health care industry. Hands down. Dr. Ankur Prakash and his team are dedicated, passionate professionals who go above and beyond for you and your family. I am a 30-year old, athletic/active, healthy woman confident in my own health awareness and practices. Like most, I could state that I am aware of whats "healthy." When you're feeling ill, see a doctor. But I was never taught about seeing a Chiropractor before a reason even arose to see a physician. I've NEVER seen or had any idea what the benefits of a Chiropractor would really bring unless of course, I was already IN pain. Though, by way of a friend, I was fortunate to have met Dr. Prakash and his team several months ago. I became aware and they simply educated me how simple adjustments to my spine, consistent fitness and muscle therapy positively impacts parts of my body. Pains I feel and notice with today, are 'not a big deal,' but fast forward 30 years into my future, this same conversation would happen, but those pains will likely be more serious. I kindly share with you that for over 3 months I have had the fortunate experience and access to have Dr. Prakash and his team be a part of my preventive health care plan. What they value and believe in are in-line (no pun) with what they practice. It is apparent in their work environment, their character and especially through fellow members (patients) I meet when I go for my visits. With Well Balanced Chiropractic, I've learned more about my own body, my weight, my nutrition and overall health. It's even positioned me to be MORE proactive in my health and helping others in theirs. What I learn about my body is specific to me and Well Balanced Chiropractic will do the same for you. Why? Because that is what they are experts in! They are constantly finding ways to be better for you, themselves, and ultimately the health care and wellness community. Dr. Prakash and his team at Well Balanced Chiropractic are clear about what they offer and the value it brings. They work with you and your family to customize your needs. If you are even slightly curious about the benefits, call. Dr. Prakash, Kerri, Simone, Ariana and the entire team will be there to answer. better now then never. read more

Talk about first impressions! When I purchased my full wellness consultation and one-hour massage deal from AmazonLocal, I was expecting to be treated like a "GroupOn", hurried along from one service to the next all for the price of $79 (?). Here's what I got: Dr. Ankur Prakash warmly greeting me at 8 a.m., offering tea and a very quick tour. He even offered a slice of pepper meant for his own snack while he explained the basics of chiropractics. Next, I got to enjoy music from the Amy Winehouse library, my choice, while a computer analyzed my hand for a number of things, including stress. Another machine measured how much weight I place on one foot versus the other. A rendering on the screen showed how a 10% difference in weight distribution could throw off my skeleton. My massage was perfect! The therapist took cues from Dr. Prakash who noticed that one of my legs was longer than the other -- I could feel it -- because of misalignment and tightness in my hips. The therapist took this into account as well as the fact that I was running in a race the next morning. Rather than a rough sports massage, which I normally like, she recommended a nice feel-good one and focused on my outer legs. It was a good choice. I ran with no pain whatsoever the next day. During my second visit, which was still part of the deal, Dr. Prakash presented my wellness portfolio, complete with foot prints and nutritional deficiencies. I never felt like he was trying to sell me something, but I did feel like he is a good business person. The rates he came up for me were remarkably reasonable, so much so that I have recommended him to friends and personal training clients. I stand by this service and all the staff who provide it! read more

The chiros, massage therapists, and trainers are all great. Front desk is highly efficient at scheduling. I've been going on and off for a decade, and my fiancee goes too. read more

I came in for a hip issue, and I wasn't pain-free overnight, but I have been steadily improving through the work at LWB. I've been seeing Dr. Vivian, and she is an extremely intuitive and talented chiropractor. Matos is my regular massage therapist, and he is masterful. After a massage-adjustment combo, I leave feeling fantastic. These are the two practitioners I see the most, but all of the chiropractors and massage therapists are excellent. The administrative staff is attentive, friendly, and caring. This is a wonderful little practice! Definitely recommend it! read more

Dr. Prakash and all the staff at WBC are knowledgable, friendly, positive and go above and beyond. They have created a very welcoming, caring environment that cater to all the needs of an individual, while having a family-like atmosphere. If your sick, need an adjustment, have an injury or just aren't feeling well... whatever the ailment, WBC will assist you in anyway they are able. One of my favorite things about WBC is that Dr. Prakash is very communicative. He will never do something without educating you first and foremost . He is well educated, well spoken and exudes a nice sense of calm. It is not a "normal" dr's visit where your told what you have and what pill you need to take, but Ankur finds the problem and educates you on the necessary steps that will assist you in improving your quality of life. I highly recommend WBC to anyone who is seeking a chiropractor. read more

BEWARE! They charged me more than I agreed to as well as taking a month to send me an itemized bill to submit to my insurance that didn't even add up to the insane amount that they charged me. They also did neck manipulations without explaining the risks involved and they tried to convince my husband they he needed treatment, despite the fact that he had no back pain or issues. This place is SHADY! EDIT: We just found out they also DOUBLE-BILLED both my insurance AND my husbands for the exact same appointments totaling over $800 for two visits. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY read more

Dr. Prakash is knowledgable and well-versed to treat a wide range of problems. He was able to help me diagnose a torn labrum in my hip well before anyone else, and advised me to avoid surgery. He was so right, and now I am back to normal, and happily back to my regular exercise routine. He is also able to work with kids and help them grow and maintain healthy spine development. I would recommend Dr. Prakash for the whole family! read more

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr Prakash and Dr Janet, and the whole team. I have been a client for about 10 years, at first it was just me and my then 18 month old son, now the whole family goes, my husband and 3 children. We feel so well taken care of. Living Well Balanced is without a doubt the most valuable thing for our health. We get adjusted weekly as maintenance, but most importantly if anyone seems to be getting sick, this is the first appointment we make. (which is not often, because of the regular care we get here...my kids are almost never sick and when they are it is something minor) Kerry or Samantha always squeeze us in when an emergency arises. They are warm and friendly, yet completely professional. The wait time is never more than 5 minutes, they are excellent with scheduling. At Living Well Balanced, you quickly realize that all of the staff wholeheartedly believe in what they are doing, and deeply care for all of their clients. I truly rely on them for my healthcare. It is more than worth every penny we spend here for the peace of mind of knowing that we can depend on them. read more

It would be hard to overstate how fantastic this place is. Living Well Balanced has truly changed my perspective on health and wellness, allowing me to create incremental positive change in a variety of ways. Living Well Balanced does not take shortcuts - and provides a truly holistic view on overall health. The personal training sessions, massages and chiropractic adjustments are all aimed at sustainable improvement. When I leave Living Well Balanced, I feel the best I do all week. Dr. Ankur, Dr. Janet, the personal trainers, massage therapists and administrators are all top-notch professionals who take their responsibilities to my health seriously. Living Well Balanced is a huge contributor to my overall health and I literally talk about them to anyone who will listen. I strongly recommend their services. read more

These guys just reached a new level of achievement. They managed to lose me as a client before I even had my first visit. As a potential new client I called Well Balanced Chiropractic to find out if they accepted my insurance? I was told that I would need to come in for a consultation and then they would check on my insurance. Obviously I would never make an appointment somewhere if I didn't know if they accepted my insurance or not. So I asked a second time could they confirm if they excepted Blue Cross? For the second time the woman told me I would have to come into their office and visit with their team before they could tell me that. I don't know what world these people are living in? Who would make an appointment with a Dr. not knowing if their insurance was accepted or not?? read more

This is one of the best places for self growth I have ever been to. The staff is loving , attentive and are great at paying attention to detail. I have been going to this place for 2 months and I can honestly say its one of the best self investments i HAVE ever made. First of all they have the best Personal trainers in the world ( in my opinion ). Taylor is one of the personal trainers there and she is amazing. She pushed me so much and broke my comfort zone. She is a tough trainer but absolutely loving person. It like going to war but she will push you and encourage you to push through. She is amazing! There are other personal trainers there but she is a diamond in the amazon. Dan , Jen , Crystal , Leila , Jeff ( hope Im not missing anyone) are all amazing Message therapist. They treat you like family and really amazing at finding the blind spots on your body. I used to have so much pain in my body but now I feel so much body. These guys are amazing. The chiropractors are amazing as well. The front Desk is extremely helpful and efficient at scheduling. Sam is the heart & soul of that place. She cares about every single person in that facility. Its been a great experience and highly recommend anyone to go here. read more

This place is amazing. This will be a very long review. The short version is that if you are looking for any combination of message, personal training, and chiropractic (or any of those services a la cart) don't go anywhere else. This is a very special place run by a very special group of people - you won't find anywhere else like it. If all you want is personal training, they recently began offering unlimited training with a trainer for a bit more of the cost of an Equinox membership - for someone like me who needs that motivation and attention, and doesn't want to spend 1,000 a month on 3x a week personal training at Equinox, it's a no brainier. All other services are also reasonably priced and in some cases covered by insurance. That's the short version, what follows is the long version. I first went to well balanced about 3 years ago. I have had chronic back pain for years, and it was becoming limiting. I was having trouble biking, and generally just felt lower back pain most the time while at work or around the apartment. I was in pretty good shape and young (30 at the time) - my dad had horrible back pain and gets shots once a month for it - he's sixty and is slumped over like an old man. I didn't want to be that. I went initially for chiropractic. I had never tried it before and was modestly skeptical, but was willing to try anything. The chiropractic was and still is solid, but it's the way in which all the staff in all areas work together that is amazing. I began going once a week for message, personal training, and chiropractic. All three elements worked together - the training staff (all Former Equinox trainers at well below Equinox prices) noticed I had weak muscles supporting my back and created a routine to strengthen my core and leg muscles so I didn't rely as much on using my back. I then go for message, where they work on muscles sore from training and helped undo years of stress and strain on my muscles. Chiropractic did something similar to message except for the bones - my hips would always get out of alignment and dr Prakash, who is the most competent and friendly doctor you will ever meet, helped get troublesome spots in my back out of alignment. All sides would talk to each other about me and refine workouts and message to fit the needs of my body. I noticed the difference right away - my back pain became less frequent within a month. Sitting in chairs, which would cause me Lower back pain previously after about an hour, doesn't happen anymore. As an office worker who typically pulls long hours, this has been a godsend. Boughts of throwing out my back, which occurred almost monthly, increasing became more sporadic. I haven't done that now for two years and have been largely pain free for over a year. The team there - who I can't say enough good things about (becca and Stacey in pt, Metos, Diana, and Scott in message) are just phenomenal. In addition to back pain being gone, I'm just generally in the best shape of my life, both aesthetically and physically. The practice itself is a great place - the other members are really interesting people and the general atmosphere feels very much like a family. Many people have been going there for years. When I first came, I thought I'd come a few times until my back felt better and then go on my way. 3 years later I am coming more frequently than I ever have. Can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

I have been a patient of Well Balanced Chiropractic for over a year and a half. I have been so pleased with the personalized care I have received from the entire staff. Everyone is so friendly and very helpful. As a busy New Yorker and a ballet dancer, I'm very hard on my body and don't always have time to take the best care of myself. Dr. Prakash makes an effort to encourage a healthy lifestyle while not lecturing. He is not a chiropractor who will just adjust you and send you out the door. He and his staff are interested in caring for the whole being. In addition to chiropractic care, the office also offers personal training, massage therapy and other great wellness care. I was extremely happy with the massage I received. I feel very lucky that I found this team of great people. I always highly recommend Well Balanced whenever I can. read more

I have been fortunate enough to receive comprehensive chiropractic care from Dr. Prakash and his associates since 2007, for myself and my two children. We had never had chiropractic treatment before, except for extreme injuries, and were excited to learn about it as an ongoing health care (rather than "sick care") approach. It made complete sense, since everything in the body is controlled by the brain -- and the way the brain communicates with the body is via messages sent to nerves from the spinal cord, which is encased in the spinal column -- that any "kinks" in the spine (known as "subluxations") could impact everything from your organ function to your sense of well-being. We have all had wonderful results, and love the caring, holistic approach to health care demonstrated in the Well-Balanced Chiropractic offices, with their full range of health support services. I recommend them very highly!! read more
