Built for the Way Chappaqua Actually Lives
Chappaqua households run at two speeds at once. Adults log serious hours on the Harlem Line and at desks, then spend weekends on trails and courts. Kids train year-round, and Horace Greeley athletes carry practice schedules that would humble many adults. Both patterns leave spines and joints absorbing repetitive stress until something complains.
We built this practice for exactly that mix. Because our doctors see the whole family, from pediatric care through active retirement, the plan accounts for the household, not just the symptom.
How Integrated Care Changes the Equation
Most chiropractic offices near Chappaqua offer one tool: the adjustment. It is a good tool, and chiropractic care anchors what we do. But stubborn tendon problems often respond faster when adjustments are paired with deep tissue laser therapy, and degenerative joints sometimes benefit from regenerative wellness options a solo adjusting office cannot provide.
Having those modalities in one clinic means your plan can change as your body responds, without new offices, repeated intake forms, or records chasing you around Westchester.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
If you have never been adjusted, or a past experience left you wary, this walkthrough is for you. Nothing happens without your understanding and consent.
Book a New-Patient VisitYour history, your symptoms, and the activities you are trying to protect, from a golf swing to lifting a grandchild without wincing.
Posture, gait, joint motion, orthopedic and neurological testing. Depth here separates a targeted plan from a generic one.
We show you what we found and what we recommend, including the honest option of no treatment when that is the right call.
If treatment is indicated, most patients are adjusted the same day with techniques matched to their comfort and age.

What Chappaqua Patients Ask Us Most
What are warning signs of a chiropractor to avoid?+
Walk away from prepaid long-term contracts sold on day one, treatment that begins without an examination, and claims that adjustments cure unrelated diseases. Good chiropractic care is measured, transparent, and tied to a plan you can question at any point.
What does a chiropractic visit cost at Integra Health?+
Cost depends on whether it is a first visit with an exam or a follow up adjustment, what your plan covers, where you stand against your deductible, in network or out, and how many visits your plan of care calls for. We verify your benefits before your first visit. See how coverage and costs are worked out.
What should I try instead of a chiropractor, and when is chiropractic the right call?+
For a mild strain, start with gentle movement, walking, heat and a few days of patience, since plenty of flare-ups settle on their own. Physical therapy, massage or your primary doctor are sensible first stops too. Chiropractic becomes the right call when pain keeps coming back, disrupts your sleep or your commute, or travels into an arm or leg, and our exam will tell you honestly which route fits.
Can a chiropractor treat wrist pain?+
Yes, when the pain is mechanical rather than a fracture or an inflammatory joint disease. We look at the small wrist bones, the forearm muscles, and the elbow and neck above them, because nerve irritation higher up can surface in the hand. Chappaqua patients who garden, play tennis or type all day usually get joint mobilization, soft tissue work and a short home routine.
Should a pregnant woman go to a chiropractor?+
Many expectant mothers do, particularly for low back, hip, and pelvic discomfort in the second and third trimesters. Techniques are modified for pregnancy, our pre and postnatal program is supported by Dr. Ritika Merai, DC, MSACN, and we coordinate with your OB when appropriate.
How long does it take to reach your office from downtown Chappaqua?+
About 12 minutes by car: Route 117 south to the Saw Mill River Parkway, then the Hawthorne exit. We are at 153 Broadway Suite 1 with our own free parking lot, and roughly a 5 minute walk from the Hawthorne stop on the Metro-North Harlem Line.
I woke up in severe pain. What will the first visit actually involve?+
A focused conversation and examination first, so we understand what triggered the episode. If same-day treatment is safe and indicated, we begin gently, aiming to settle the flare. If your exam points to imaging or a medical workup first, we say so and help arrange it.
Do you treat student athletes from Horace Greeley High School?+
We care for young athletes from across the area. With a parent’s authorization our doctors will communicate with a school athletic trainer so treatment, training loads, and return-to-play timing stay consistent. Care focuses on a safe return to the field, so a young athlete heals properly instead of playing through an injury all season.
