Prisco Chiropractic And Wellness

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!)

There are not many offices that see patients after 7pm and I was able to make an appointment at 715pm with Dr. Prisco. He told me that they open late only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Dr. Prisco was extremely kind and personable. Dr. Lee also saw me and his medical massage was the best. I feel like my muscleache is all gone already. Both of the doctors were super nice.
on a funny note, In the waiting lounge I saw «OUT» magazine, and that made me feel right at home.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I had suffered from headaches for years — pretty much daily I was waking up in pain, and keeping Excedrin in business. By my 3^rd session with Dr. Prisco, my headaches were gone. Gone! That was about 6 months ago. I occasionally will still get a tension headache, but they are down to 1 – 2 times a month tops, as opposed to every day. I honestly didn’t think they’d ever go away.
I highly recommend Dr. Prisco. His adjustments were subtle and very effective, not the massive cracking and neck twisting that you might associate with chiropractors. And, to boot, just a really friendly guy.

Dr Prisco has been immensely helpful with my neck and shoulder trouble, and has guided me through ergonomic adjustments for work so I can prevent future alignment issues. He ensures that I walk out of his office feeling better than when I came in, even if it takes longer than expected and is always able to fit me in when I realize it’s been way too long since my last adjustment. I truly appreciate his expertise and care, as well as his excellent rapport and professionalism with patients.

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!

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.

While staying in the city over the summer, I re-​injured my lower back. Dr. Prisco was recommended to me and I am so glad I went to him! His treatments were excellent. My spasms subsided after the first treatment and I felt my back getting better each week. His treatments were gentle and effective. He gave me exercises to do at home, which added to the whole recovery. Thank you, Dr. Prisco!

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!
