Upper Cervical chiropractic focuses specifically on the craniocervical junction (the top two vertebrae, atlas and axis) and brainstem. The body works as a function unit that starts at the top. After careful assessment and analysis, we make a precise correction to allow the nervous system to work at its best and the body function as designed. There is no twisting, cracking, or popping.
Yes, prenatal chiropractic care is exceptionally gentle and safe. Our clinic utilizes the certified Webster Technique, which involves gentle sacral alignment and round ligament tension release with zero twisting or abdominal pressure.
Each case is unique and we always take a thorough history and assessment of your goals and needs. Your first visit includes a a postural evaluation, range of motion, weight differential, orthopedic and neuralgic exam, Tytron nerve scan, and your first treatment if appropriate. We always explain each step before moving forward!
Flowstate NYC is an out-of-network provider. This allows us to dedicate 100% of our clinical focus to individualized, uncompromised patient care. Our rates are transparent and affordable with flexible options. Upon request, we provide an invoice that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
Our primary clinical objective is "holding is healing." Unlike traditional clinics requiring 3 visits per week for months, Upper Cervical care focuses on getting the alignment to lock and hold. Most patients begin with an evaluation phase of 1–2 holding checks per week for the first 4 weeks, with visits spacing out rapidly to monthly wellness checks as the cervical ligaments strengthen.
Never. FlowState NYC utilizes precision Upper Cervical chiropractic care, which is completely non-rotational. There is zero twisting, cracking, or aggressive popping of the spine. The correction is delivered with gentle, specific contact while you rest comfortably.
Paraspinal thermography is an objective, computerized scan using Tytron infrared sensors that measures heat differentials along your spine. Because temperature symmetry reflects autonomic nervous system balance, the scan tells Dr. Goodman with mathematical certainty whether your nerve system is clear or if an adjustment is needed on that day.
Yes, absolutely. Pediatric adjustments are exceptionally gentle—the amount of pressure used is comparable to checking the ripeness of a tomato. Dr. Goodman is ICPA trained and provides specialized pediatric care to address birth strain, colic, torticollis, nursing difficulties, and postural development.
We are an out-of-network clinic to ensure our clinical decisions are dictated solely by your health needs rather than insurance company restrictions. Following each visit, our system automatically provides an itemized Superbill with diagnostic ICD-10 and CPT codes that you can submit directly to your carrier or HSA/FSA for reimbursement.
We recommend comfortable, loose-fitting clothing such as athletic wear, t-shirts, or leggings. Please avoid heavy metal jewelry, hairpins, or shirts with thick plastic collars, as these can interfere with paraspinal thermography sensors and neurological evaluation.
