Services
Chiropractic is an integral part of a well balanced and aligned life. A healthy nervous system is the foundation of life. At Nalu, we honor the innate ability of the body to heal, re-organize and thrive with gentle adjustments and greater alignment to your true source - your own internal Life power.
Pregnancy and birth is a natural process and one of the most powerful times in a woman's life. The body undergoes many changes to help the body adapt as the little baby grows inside. Women love getting chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy because it is nurturing, feels wonderful and most important of all, keeps their body, mind and spirit aligned for the healthiest and happiest pregnancy and birth possible.
Pediatric chiropractic care supports the health and happiness of your child. Children experience stress, just like adults, and this stress effects the function of their nervous system. As stress interferences with the brain and body communication, children are unable to express their full potential for health, brilliance and happiness.
Dr. Sura is amazing! I received adjustments 2-3 times a week while I was pregnant and I'm certain she is one of the reasons why I had the type of birth experience that I was hoping to have. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment to see Dr. Sura. She's the best chiropractor I've ever been to.

She has a profound sensitivity to the what's going on in your body and she rebalances it so you can feel better, not only physically but emotionally as well.Being treated by her is a personal experience where your concerns will be heard and addressed. Dr. Sura is the best. She's a wonderful, warm and professional chiropractor who excels at healing the mind as well as the body.

Dr. Sura is a God-send! I was searching for prenatal chiropractic care to help with hip pain that would keep me up throughout the night. Not only did she adjust my hips to completely eliminate the pain, she also addressed an issue with my neck that causes migraines I have suffered with for years. Her prenatal care goes above and beyond to help you feel confident and prepared for labor.
Dr. Sura is patient and kind and truly cares for her patients well-being. I highly recommend her care!

Dr. Sura is absolutely amazing. I've been seeing her for biweekly chiropractic adjustments for quite a few months now, and I'll never go to anyone else! Sura is a gifted healer, and has acted as a spiritual mentor to me in my own journey. I am so grateful to her for all her wisdom and support. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking chiropractic work!

Dr. Sura is the most caring and kind person– as my first experience with chiropractic I was nervous but after seeing my closest friends feeling so well I run into her. I was on my third trimester 30 weeks of my second pregnancy, feeling so heavy already and lacking energy. I knew I needed help to keep me running with my toddler, full time job and pregnancy. She saved me! She helped me to reduce to 0 my back pain, to make room for the growing baby, to get to my center and recover energy every week. My baby was bridge and he turn to right position at 36 weeks. I’m so grateful have to meet her

Dr. Sura is wonderful! I moved to JC about a year ago and had a bad experience in the area before I found her. I was so happy to come across her practice. She is gentle and has an holistic approach and that’s exactly what I was looking for. Every time I leave the office I instantly feel better and walk out with a clear and positive mindset. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Sura is a true healer! She takes a holistic approach to her practice, and is one of the most caring and attentive people I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. I have been going to her for chiropractic sessions for months now, and I feel great, and so much more aligned! Can't thank her enough, and I couldn't recommend her highly enough :)

I came to Sura as I entered my 3rd trimester with a breeched baby. First off, she made me feel totally at ease and explained in detail what she’d be doing during our visits. She instinctively honed in on where I was holding tension in my neck, back and hips. That evening was the best sleep I had in months. By our 3rd visit, my baby turned and no longer breeched. She’s very talented, caring and I thoroughly enjoy my weekly visit. I will continue in her care well after the baby is born. Highly recommend!!

If I could give Sura 500 Stars, I would do so in a heartbeat. She is an AMAZING chiropractor, person, and light worker.
I saw Sura from Fall 2019 to Spring 2020 before COVID struck. She healed me from severe jaw pain (it felt like my jaw was shifted to the left side) as well as intense neck pain that was causing me daily pressure headaches. I didn't even realize I had intense neck pain and pressure headaches until I discovered what a pain-free body felt like.
For anyone interested in chiropractic care, Sura is for you. She treats each client as an individual. She is VERY in tune with your specific

I visited Dr Sura for my back pains and have received so much more than just pain relief. Her energy is amazing, and I feel so wonderful after each visit. It is a great way to show your body some love. I have since taken my sister and will be recommending more family and friends. Thank you so much for sharing your magic.

Dr. Sura is truly amazing! I recently moved here and when I woke up in pain and unable to look side to side I didn’t know who to go see. I’m so thankful that her location came up and to have found her. Her approach is thoughtful and takes into account so much more than any other chiropractors I have been to before. It’s a huge relief to have someone that is for helping you heal and feeling great again.

Dr. Sura is a true blessing! If you are thinking about chiropractic care do yourself the favor and come see her. As a dancer and mom to be I was in desperate need of pain relief. I came to Dr. Sura after suffering from severe round ligament pain from my pregnancy. She has helped me get back on my feet (literally) and has also addressed other spinal structural issues that have helped me gain more access. I feel more at home in my body. Thank you Dr. Sura for being a supportive figure in my life!

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Sura. I was seeking treatment for neck and back pain following a bike accident and found her through a friend. Turns out, I was storing trauma of all kinds inside my body and through her chiropractic care and therapy I was able to not only release the pain and trauma, but also learn how to own my power and restore my true self. Traveling into Manhattan from Brooklyn, I dedicated three sessions a week to her for more than a year, and my spiritual being along with my physical body was totally transformed. Each session is completely

My friend had been going to Sura for months and couldn't say enough about her. She told me how Sura had helped her make decisions in her life, feel more confident, feel more healthy overall. It seemed to be a spiritual connection as well as physical.

I went to see Sura out of curiosity and if I was honest with myself, for lower back/hip pain. I had been waking up with a little discomfort for months and would need to stretch every morning just to feel like myself again.

The first time I met Sura, I felt like she was someone I was supposed to meet. Her energy is incredible and she's

I found Illuminate through Yelp, and feel inspired to leave a review as my experience has been exceptional. I was looking for a chiropractor to help with an unfortunate yoga neck injury and Dr. Sura's page and reviews shone brightly to me. From the moment I walked through her door her bright positive energy made me feel excited that I was in great hands. Her adjustments are gentle, effective, loving and deftly wise. Her support goes beyond chiropractic care and blends healing, intuitive guidance, and deep wisdom. Her loving care is both a facilitation of your spiritual journey as well as a

I cannot recommend Dr. Sura highly enough!!! I was referred to her through a friend, who is going through a major life transformation, in her career as well as in her personal life. Sura has been a wonderful guide and supporter
I had never seen a chiropractor on a regular basis before Sura. I practice and teach yoga regularly, and I am a big proponent of holistic healing. I used to need a massage every 10 days to 2 weeks, but since starting to see Sura, I rarely need them now! My body is reorganizing and learning how to heal itself. And the healing is far from just physical. Sura has a beautiful

Before Dr. Sura, I had never heard of or considered chiropractic before. And now that I've begun, I can't imagine my life without it. Beyond being incredibly kind, intuitive, encouraging, and gentle, Dr. Sura's healing energy, words, and hands have helped me move through some of the most difficult moments and thought-patterns in my life. Every week I look forward to and savor the moments in her office, and am grateful beyond words that I have her in my life. I can't recommend Dr. Sura enough!

Dr. Sura is the best. She's a wonderful, warm and professional chiropractor who excels at healing the mind as well as the body. She tailors each visit to your needs at that particular time, so you are not just going through the motions. I'd recommend her to anyone, and she's helped me a lot.

On a more operational note, she's accessible and very accommodating to schedule changes.

When I first started seeing Dr. Sura, I had been generally feeling very tired and anxious on a daily basis, and hadn't been sleeping well for weeks, even months. I also had reoccurring back and ankle pain. After her initial consultation, I started on my treatment program immediately. I felt much better only after the first couple of weeks. Then after several weeks, I noticed significant improvement: I was a lot more energetic and clear-headed, and I started sleeping better too. But the biggest development that I noticed was that I stopped feeling anxious altogether. After about 4-5 months

I am so grateful that Sura is here and doing her amazing bodywork in nyc! My experience so far has been really incredible. I walked out of her office the first session feeling uplifted, happy, floating, and so much less discomfort in my body...the physical changes were amazing and I was totally unprepared for the emotional shift (in a great way)...I have been seeing her weekly and am noticing a huge difference in my upper back issues and neck. So glad to have found this wonderful chiropractor and energy worker/healer...
