Chiropractor Forest Hills, Queens: A Local Approach to Real, Lasting Relief

If you live in Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens, Briarwood, or Elmhurst, you know back pain, neck tension, and sciatica have become more common than ever. Long work hours, commuting, heavy bags, and screen time all take a toll. Many people accept pain as “normal”—until it starts affecting sleep, work, or daily life.

At Nektalov Chiropractic & Wellness, we help patients return to pain-free movement through non-surgical, drug-free, evidence-based care. Our approach combines gentle chiropractic adjustments, advanced spinal decompression therapy, posture correction, Y-Strap traction sessions, and enzyme-based nutrition support.

We are one of the few practices in Queens offering all of these services in one place, allowing us to treat the whole person—not just the symptom.

What Makes Our Approach Different?

1. Spinal Decompression Therapy (Non-Surgical Solution)

Spinal decompression uses controlled traction to reduce pressure inside the spinal discs. This helps retract herniations, relieve nerve irritation, and improve healing. For many patients, it becomes a realistic alternative to back surgery.

2. Posture & Alignment Correction

We use advanced posture and spinal alignment analysis to address the underlying causes of pain, including forward-head posture, rounded shoulders, and early degenerative changes. Improving posture can reduce headaches, neck pain, and recurrent lower-back pain faster than adjustments alone.

3. Y-Strap Decompression Sessions

The Y-Strap technique gently stretches the spine along its full length, providing a noticeable release of tension.

4. Functional Enzyme Nutrition

Enzyme testing helps identify inflammation, digestive imbalances, and nutritional weaknesses that may slow recovery. This approach is extremely helpful for patients with chronic inflammation or recurring pain.
