I was introduced to Chiropractic when I had my own back problems and a friend told me that I just had to go and see her Chiropractor. To humor her, I went a Chiropractor and of course I got better. I was amazed at how the healing touch was gentle and effective for a problem I thought would never go away.
I am a participating Medicare provider and an out-of-network provider with Aetna, Cigna, BlueCross/Blue Shield, OptumHealth and United Health Care. Being an out-of-network provider allows me to spend as much time as necessary with each and every patient. The first visit is about an hour and includes history taking, exam and treatment while follow-up visits are about 30 minutes.
Adjustment of vertebrae/spinal bones is the keystone of Chiropractic and is intended to restore normal motion to injured joints in the spine or extremities. I am experienced in different (Diversified, Activator, SOT, Thompson Drop) Chiropractic adjusting techniques so that I can apply the method best suited for you.

Dr. Mike IS the best. We discussed my prior experiences with other chiropractors who were "crunchers", he knew what I was talking about and was already prepared! He prepares your body to receive treatment and is super gentle and extremely effective! I wouldn't go anywhere else!

As a person who has had various medical issues and as a person who is a HUGE skeptic of chiropractors, I can honestly say Dr. Mike Polanski is the kindest, funniest, efficient, patient, knowledgable, informative, doctor I have ever had or worked with. He has a great bedside manner and will always greet you with a warm welcome and smile. He will make you feel like he is your personal doctor. He has been treating me for different things but mainly Vertigo and cured it. He is the absolute best and has changed my life! I highly recommend him to EVERYONE!

Dr. Mike is thee best! He's truly and genuinely compassionate, kind and caring. He goes above and beyond to make you feel safe and comfortable. He listens! He customizes treatment according to what your body needs and he shows determination in making sure you are fully healed. If there's any pain that you're dealing with, any ailment that a doctor couldn't help you with I guarantee you Dr. Mike will. You will leave his office with your body feeling better and your mood lighter. Go to Dr. Mike, you deserve it.

Dr Mike met me with a warm and patient attitude along with incredible applied knowledge as he treated my back. I think he has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've met. He went above and beyond to clearly explain and comfort gauge as he treated me. I feel so much better. Highly recommend!

Dr. Polanski is the best chiropractor we have come across. My wife had been having issues with lower back pain for last couple of years. Once in a while, she would have episode of spasms in the back and altered walking. When this happened over the weekend, he was the only chiropractor available so we went to him after seeing his amazing google reviews.

We were truly impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and truly caring nature. He examined my wife and answered her million questions with happy face. He correctly diagnosed her with having SI joint issue and recurrent dislocation of sacro-iliac joint. He was able to help her with pain and she was able to walk straight again. We have been there few times since that episode, and she has slowly gotten better.

He also recommended her amazing physical therapy place few blocks from his office. His staff is very courteous and very helpful. Once my wife had sudden spasm and all appointments were taken on that day. His staff discussed our condition with Dr. Polanski, and Dr. Polanski was so nice to see her as last patient even though that was his last day just before going on vacation. We were so touched by his caring nature and honest opinion. We will definitely recommend anyone to his practice. Very hard to come across truly caring doctor in New York.

Dr Mike saw me on short notice and fixed up my back the night before a big moving day. Absolutely saved my back and i feel like a million bucks today. Very clean and nice office and he explained everything before he touched me. Covid compliant and felt very safe. Highly recommend.

I consulted with Dr. Mike several times during the third trimester of pregnancy for sciatica and SPD pain. He is a very knowledgeable chiropractor and diagnosed the problems almost immediately upon examination. He was able to implement some manual interventions that were effective to reduce pain and improve mobility. He appears to possess a lot of knowledge about musculoskeletal issues during pregnancy. He is also funny and pleasant to work with - I highly recommend his services!

I've been a patient of Dr Mike's for 10+ years now and have never received better care from a chiropractor. Kind, caring and a good listener, Dr. Mike works with you to help you feel your best. And with an excellent sense of humor, Dr. Mike will crack you up one way or the other!

I started seeing Dr Mike after my first baby for pain in my neck and back. He quickly diagnosed the problem and after a short series of treatments the pain was gone. He's a good listener and takes a holistic approach, including prevention. He and the staff are very accommodating when I don't have a sitter and need to bring the kids along. I highly recommend his services.

Dr. Polanski knows how to care for acute injuries gently so that you heal. He offers excellent self-care advice and chiropractic care that can have you on your way to recovery. He is respectful, kind in addition to being a first-rate chiropractor.

Dr. Mike is an excellent practitioner as well as a nice guy. Very knowledgeable and professional, he doesn't over treat like some chiropractors I have met. He treated me for back pain on one occasion and on another for hip pain. In both cases, he helped me and I have referred friends and relatives to him.

Dr. Mike (as his patients call him) has treated me over the years for lower back pain that occurs every so often. There is not enough praise I can give him. I would be in constant pain and limited in what I could do if it wasn't for Dr Mike. He is as professional, caring and supportive as he was on my first visit. He provides consistent quality of care and.he has a great sense of humor. Dr. Mike is an excellent chiropractor and I highly recommend him.
