Success Stories

Dear Staff at Integrative Chiropractic:

I must admit that I originally picked Integrative Chiropractic due to its location, but I really stumbled upon a gem. I was training for an upcoming fantasy baseball camp when my throwing shoulder began hurting
me to the point that I knew something had to be done. I had chiropractic adjustments in the past from another doctor, and knew that the adjustments significantly helped due to the twisting motion associated with throwing and swinging a bat. Alignment in my neck was critical to me throwing without pain. However, after Dr. Palazzo's
analysis, he told me that, not only could he realign my neck and back, but my throwing shoulder needed adjusting, and that all of the muscles around the shoulder and neck needed to be stretched and retrained for
their new positions. After giving me his plan on how this would be accomplished, the plan, which included a unique blend of chiropractic care and physical therapy, instantly gave me confidence that I would be ready for my fantasy camp, even though I had only one month left to get ready.

I am very happy to report that my shoulder feels better than ever and my fantasy camp experience was a thorough success! I could not have done it without the help of everyone at Integrative Chiropractic. Drs. Palazzo and Slade, along with the rest of the staff, are thoroughly professional and strive to achieve the highest level of customer care.
All of them make me feel very welcome and relaxed for my appointments, and I seldom have to wait. I had seen another chiropractor a year ago, but my visits were "in-and-out", 15 minutes tops. With Integrative Chiropractic's unique combination of physical therapy combined with chiropractic care, my appointments last 45 minutes to an hour, and I have the utmost confidence in my long term prognosis.

Thank you so much to everyone at Integrative Chiropractic!

Sincerely,

Thomas L.

Integrative Chiropractic was a pleasant surprise for me. I had not been to a Chiropractor in over ten years, so I wasn't expecting the progressive and thorough treatment I received from Drs. Palazzo and Slade and their staff. I was welcomed in a very professional and friendly manner. As my condition was evaluated, I found that all my questions were answered  with the specific and insightful information that I needed. Working with the doctors and staff toward fully resuming my activities without discomfort , I began to see improvements quickly. I experienced  relief from my adjustments, comfort from the therapy, and progress with the exercises. The environment is quite pleasant and the staff is always polite and positive. I have already recommended their service to others.

Dear Dr. Steve,

I just have to let you know how grateful I am that you are in my life.  Some of my youngest childhood memories were taking those secretive trips from Queens to Brooklyn so my grandmother can get an adjustment from the Chiropractor.  Secretive because this took place in the 60’s when a Chiropractor was not seen as a doctor, but as a youngster, and still to this day, I believe Chiropractors are doctors.  My grandmother lived to be 98 years old and she had arthritis, which was held remarkably under control.  I also remember times when my father could not bare his back pain, and the local Chiropractor would make a house call and within 20 minutes my dad would be walking without pain.

There are not many Chiropractors who are passionate about their work and really take the time to find what adjustments are perfect for each individual. When I first came to you I could barely bend from the knees.  I had a lot of restricted movement and did not want to have any type of surgery.

Meeting you I knew you were right for me.  We knew it was going to take some time but after you reassuring me that with adjustments, exercise, ice, heat and of course your famous Olympian taping, I would have flexibility in my knees again.  And Doc you were right.  You were very honest with me from day one and really worked with me and pushed me not to give up.  I cannot thank you enough.

Peace and Joy,

Rosemarie DeMattia

I certainly appreciate your thoughtful care.

 "Dr. Palazzo takes the most comprehensive and integrative approach to chiropractic care I have ever seen.  Spinal adjustments are just the tip of the iceberg at his office.  No other chiropractor I've ever met takes the time to get to the root of the problem.  I refer clients to him because I know that they are getting treatment from the best." 

-Clayton Garland, golf professional and author of "Golf Fitness FOR MEN"

"I suffered with hip pain for over 14 years before seeing Dr. Palazzo.  I had been to visit many medical doctors who told me to take medication or told me it was nothing major.  I visited other chiropractors who never took the time to truly look at my particular situation and find the root cause of my hip pain.  In the first couple of visits, Dr. Palazzo had pinpointed the source of my hip pain, set-up a complete timetable for how to fix the problem, told me how he was going to fix the problem, and even how much it would cost.  I couldn't believe how easily he figured out my problem.  I wish I had seen him 14 years ago!"

"I had a problem in my right knee for years and had been to multiple people for treatment (including other chiropractors, massage therapists, orthopaedists, and a host of medical doctors).  Many of them tried to correct the problem.  In one visit to Dr. Palazzo, he determined that I have a Baker's Cyst and sent me to have an MRI not an x-ray to view the soft tissue in the knee better.  Sure enough that is what it was.  I had the cyst drained and Dr. Palazzo gave me exercises and stretches to do for rehabilitating the knee and hamstring that had become inflamed.  In about one month my knee and hamstring were good as new!  I can work out again and run up the stairs thanks to Dr. Palazzo.  I used to think chiropractors just fixed back and spine problems but Dr. Palazzo truly is an 'all-over body fixer'."

"I would like to thank Dr. Palazzo for being the first chiropractor to fix my neck and back problem.  I felt instant relief after the first visit and returned for only two more visits to re-enforce the adjustment.  I have now gone for six months without needing any adjustments.  If you want to see a chiropractor who fixes the problem, rather than keeps you on  continuous, never-ending visits, go see Dr. Palazzo!"

"I came across Integrative Chiropractic through a friend from the gym.  My friend noticed my struggles while exercising and kept asking me to call Dr. Palazzo.  I hesitated at first, but since have found out my visits with Dr. Palazzo have been a true blessing.  My hesitation was because I had already been seen by three other chiropractics, several medical doctors, orthopedic specialist, four physical therapists, and pain clinic for the same problem.  It had been sixteen years since the sport injury that caused my neck pain, shoulder pain and migraines.  It is hard to function or focus day to day when you are hurting.   I have experienced tremendous relief from my adjustments, and I am feeling much better.  I have not had a migraine in eight months and since have stopped all pain medicines.  It is a wonderful feeling to raise my arm or receive a hug and not feel great pain.  This would not have occurred without the help and positive encouragement received from Dr. Palazzo.  Thank you for taking the time to listen and being so wonderful. :-)
