Dr Phelts is an incredible, attentive, wise, and careful practitioner. He took me from a debilitating back pain and a couple of other issues in July to running a marathon in early November. He always explains everything and answers all questions at length with wonderful examples and useful exercises.

Had to follow up with another review/update. Been working with him since March 2021 when I had debilitating back pains. I also remember always feeling bloated and wanting to take care of that. Since working with Dr. Phelts, I’ve seen an improvement to my overall health. His practice is about holistic care integrating kinesiology and nutrition in his practice. He recently shared a chart with me that informs me on what types of foods I should be eating with certain types of protein and often I should be eating a day. My stomach has been consistently flattening since working with him and I didn’t

Dr Phelts, you are simply the best!!
Dr Phelts was recommended to me after my stepson visited him and had seen marked improvements. I have been having chronic shoulder pain for over a span of 4 years. The pain was so intense that it would sometimes wake me up from my sleep. I visited 3 orthopedic doctors (one a renowned dr. to athletes) over the span of the 4 years. They all recommended Physical therapy which did not help. One of the doctors gave me a cortisone shot which was a temporary fix and another recommended surgery, which I was hesitant to do. I did Physical Therapy with 3 different facilities

I am a younger patient who's had sporadic but severe back pains for several years. I've never been the biggest believer in Chiropractic medicine because no other doctors have been able to diagnose any issues with my back. After one session with Dr. Phelts he was not only able to accurately determine where my pain was but also within that session, treat the problem area. Since my treatment I have had almost no pain in the area and will absolutely be returning! Dr. Phelts is a magician and truly works wonders!!!

Have been working with Dr. Phelts for several years.
Had back issues awhile back. Was able to get pain free.
Lately had a bad fall and hurt my neck/shoulder/hands. Been working with John and is already starting to feel the difference.
Dr. Phelts not only helps with issues, he set me up with sketches and strengthen program to keep my body in check.

After struggling with acne for many years I am so glad a friend recommended Dr. Phelts! Through nutrition and supplements my acne is gone! Dr. Phelts has also helped me with nutrition and just overall health and well being. He also fixed a shoulder pain I was having for months and gave me specific exercises to strengthen it. He is very caring and professional. I so recommend him!

I have been lucky enough to have been helped by Dr. Phelts for the past 10 years. Last year I was hit by a car and Dr. Phelts has, literally, gotten me back on my feet. I also injured my wrist and that, too, has improved greatly. I see the Doctor for all my nutritional needs as well.

Dr. Phelts is truly an amazing doctor. My husband and I have been going to him for years. First to fix lower back and neck pains and now as needed for maintenance. Due to a snowboarding accident, years back, my lower back and neck have gotten worse during grad school and only intensified after long hours of staying in a seated position at my job. I have been to a number of doctors with little to no change, one even suggested that I do surgery. Fortunately, after doing some research, I came across Dr. Phelts. He fixed my back. His methods truly do work! After therapy, massage, kinesiology, and other

To me he’s a God send, I had given up on Chiropractors until I got an email from his office telling me that they understand how it feels to be throwing down money to things that didn’t work and he was willing to give me free session because he understands how it feels , boy I was glad I went !!!!he spends almost 20-30 mins if not more working on every issue you have , you come out of his office feeling good and your money well spent!!!! Unlike other quacks I went to!!! I was depressed and frustrated about my condition until I met him! I promise you if you have pain regarding your back or any

I was involved in a car accident and which makes my neck and low back feel painful and sore, also the intermittent headache. This is the initial reason that I find Dr. John Phelts. During the first met and treatment with Dr. Phelts, I can strongly feel he is a person who is professional and profound knowledge in chiropractic. He listens to what the patient really concern of, and do the treatment to the case. After the first treatment, I feel my muscle extremely relaxed, and the way he did is comfortable and doesn't make me feel any side effects after. Then, I have 2-3 times treatments with

I have been suffering from migraines for many years and all doctors that I have visited before were telling me that it is not treatable. I was recommended by my friend to see Dr Phelts, who created a treatment plan and was able to help me to get rid of migraines and improve my overall health within a short period of time. I can't be more happier with the care that Dr Phelts provided. I highly recommend Dr Phelts to anyone who is seeking a good chiropractor, because Dr Phelts is truly amazing.

If you are suffering from any aches or pains, don't wait to call and schedule an appointment with Dr. Phelts. When I went in for my first appointment, I was suffering from lower back pain, one shoulder that would give out frequently, and knee pain that made walking extremely painful. After one session, I felt better than I have in months. Before doing anything, Dr. Phelts explains in detail what he will do and why, putting me at ease, and helping me to understand exactly why I developed these pains and problems in the first place. I cannot recommend him enough. Hurry up and make your

Dr. Phelts is amazing! I am a dancer and my body always feels brand new every time I leave his office. I visit regularly for check ups and I'm never disappointed with the work that he does on my body. He also treats my allergies and recommends different supplements to keep my body healthy and in top shape for my dancing! I've learned so much about my body and how to take good care of it thanks to Dr. Phelts!

I was never a believer in chiropractors until I went to see Dr. Phelts. I had a nagging injury for months and my personal trainer recommended him for many months before I made an appointment. I wish I hadn't been so stubborn for so long! After 4 visits I am good as new! I never understood his practice (and still don't entirely) but I will not hesitate to go back to him if I have any other injuries. On top of fixing me he made me feel very comfortable even knowing I was skeptical. My only mistake was I didn't go sooner!

Had severe lower back pain and so decided to make an appointment with Dr. Phelts. He was methodical in evaluating me, checking for every possible reason. By the end of the 1st session he determined the root cause of the pain. He then was able to treat my back by making the needed adjustments, some electric stimulation, and some muscle treatments. Within the next few days my back was totally back to normal.

Best Chiropractor in NY - seriously - My frozen shoulder is no longer frozen (no surgery even though several other doctors recommended it) because of his care as well as his direction in what exercise to do on a daily basis to heal - beyond this his nutritional expertise is excellent and I am very knowledgeable about nutrition and I have not met a Chiropractor that has his knowledge....If you need a chiropractor Dr. Phelts is it - I have referred several people and we all agree - he is excellent.

Dr. Phelts is much more than a chiropractor. He integrates many techniques that work together to heal holistically. If you want a chiropractor who spends time with you, teaches you how to fix and prevent pain, and can do everything from Gua Sha to Applied Kinesiology to Nutritional Coaching, this is where you should go!
