Living Well Balanced

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.

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?

Well balanced chiropractic is an amazing life changing wellness care office. I feel at home when I am there. The team members working there really care your health and well being.

Dr. Prakash has managed to create a one of a kind healthcare facility, unlike any I have ever visited. From a team of chiropractors who take their time with you and ease you through your first adjustment, to the team of personal trainers, who push you when you need that extra push, to the very talented team of massage therapist, everyone at Well Balanced Chiropractic is concerned about your well-​being.
Earlier this year, after much prompting by a co-​worker, I began a program at Well Balanced Chiropractic called 8WW (8 Weeks to Wellness). The program was a 8 week course designed to kick start a healthier you. The program consisted of regular adjustments, exercise, at the office and at home, weekly massages, proper nutrition and meditation. Through this program and the guidance I received from the staff at Well Balanced, I feel like a new person.
I would highly recommend Well Balanced Chiropractic to anyone, whether you are just looking for a chiropractor to adjust you or looking to make a true lifestyle change for the better. They will work with you to achieve your goals. In addition, many of the services have been covered by my health insurance and I have found the service to be well worth the cost.

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.

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.

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.

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.
