Body In Balance Chiropractic's Online Review Report Card

I honestly cannot recommend Body In Balance enough. This place is truly amazing, and the entire team is wonderful. Dr. Jan has played a huge role in helping me get my quality of life back. I came in with chronic tendinosis in both and right elbow that had been causing me pain and frustration for months. Dr. Jan suggested shockwave therapy, and it has been an absolute game changer. After just four sessions, I’ve seen incredible results. My golfer’s elbow is completely gone, the pain in my hands has decreased significantly, and my mobility has improved so much. I’m genuinely surprised that more people don’t know about shockwave therapy. It’s such an incredible treatment with benefits for so many types of pain, and discovering it here has been life-changing. I’ve also been doing laser therapy after my sessions, and it’s made a noticeable difference in how quickly my tissues recover. Combined with my ongoing physical therapy, it’s really helped to speed up my healing process. Because of the issues with my hands, I had started to develop upper back and neck pain from overcompensating. Dr. Jan recommended the MAPS program since my posture was not right, and after just one month, my posture has improved, my strength has increased, and my back pain has decreased dramatically. I truly feel like I’m getting my life back, and I’m beyond grateful. I’m still continuing my MAPS program and I’m so excited to see even more progress. Thank you, Body In Balance, for your care, expertise, and kindness. You’ve truly made a difference in my life, and I couldn’t recommend you more highly.

Dr. Lefkowitz continuously is exceptional, providing attentive and thorough treatment. His adjustments are the most significant treatment option I have encountered for migraines and back/neck pain. Additionally, he provided instruction on tailored exercises to reduce the prevalence of my symptoms. He is the most knowledgable and trusted chiropractor I have ever seen and I would highly recommend.

10/10 recommend for both chiropractic services and massage therapy! I've noticed a huge improvement in my back pain since I've started seeing Dr. Lefkowitz, and I always leave feeling better than when I came in. If you're looking for a knowledgable, compassionate, and effective chiropractor, this is the place to go!

Dr. Lefkowitz and team have built a truly special practice at Body in Balance. After a skiing accident, finding the right team to help me tackle my back/posture/alignment issues plagued me for 3 years. A handful of spine doctors and PTs, dozens of hours, and thousands of dollars later I still wasn't making progress, Body in Balance changed all of that. Their comprehensive and personalized MAPS (Movement, Alignment, Posture, Stress Relief) approach is well rounded and helped me tackle my own issues from the root cause. I'm finally finding lasting relief and starting to hit new heights with my strength, athleticism and overall well-being. Anyone with a spine should consider coming to see Dr. Lefkowitz and team for a consult.

I came to Body in Balance (Dr Jan) because I had severe neck pain for months and couldn't imagine what a traditional doctor would do about it other than prescribing pain medication. They measured and showed me my posture which after decades of sitting was pretty horrible. I've committed to a three month program that included not only adjustments but crucially very impactful exercises that I was doing religiously. The program also comes with massages and laser sessions. There are other things involved like orthotics and neck pillows - it's a very well thought through, holistic approach. I'm an ambitious runner and midway through the program, a knee injury popped up and Dr Jan also took care of this. The knee treatment allowed me to still complete the Chicago marathon pain free in ~3:15 when I thought a few weeks before the event, I definitely won't be able to run it. At the end of the program they measured my posture as well and while not perfect, significant improvements were clearly visible. This will never be "done" but I'm so glad I found the right way to fix things. I've tried so many different approaches over the years to mainly fix my running issues (PT, Chiro, sports & deep tissue massage...). Dr Jan is the first one where I can clearly see and feel the improvements.

Dr. Jan was recommended by a friend. As someone who knows a lot about the body, I was a bit apprehensive because I thought my situation was unique and was doubtful he was what I needed. My first visit was different from what I was expecting, a standard chiropractic adjustment. He did a thorough examination (inclusive of scans) and later presented me with a plan. I believe it was 3 months, MAPS (Movement, Alignment and Posture). It’s a personalized approach that includes deep tissue massages, movement training, adjustments and laser. I’ve been going to him for over 3 years. Because like any good healer, after fixing one thing, I wanted to continue fixing everything else I was not even aware was an issue. Now I see Dr. Jan and Lee on a weekly basis. Lee is THE BEST acupuncturist/healer in the city!

I can’t recommend this chiropractic clinic enough! I came in struggling with severe sciatic pain which went all along my lower back into my left leg, and after a couple of weeks of treatment I finally found relief thanks to their incredible team. The personalized care and attention I received made all the difference. The M.A.P.S. program with movement training, alignments and massages they offer was a game changer. The program was tailored to my specific needs, focusing on realigning my posture and releasing muscle tension. Within a few weeks, I noticed a significant reduction in my pain, and now, I’m pain-free and back to living my life fully. The combination of chiropractic adjustments and the MAPS program not only alleviated my sciatic pain but also improved my overall well-being. If you’re struggling with pain, this is the place to go. The team is professional, caring, and truly invested in your recovery. Thank you for giving me my life back!

I am following up my initial glowing recommendation of Dr. Jan and his team after completing his 3-month MAPS program. I wanted to wait until this point because I know that initial reviews don’t always capture the full experience and are often given prematurely. A couple of months later, I have EVEN MORE positive things to say about my experience. And by the way, I am not one who often takes the time to write reviews, although I admittedly read them a lot! I found Dr. Jan through a random internet search when the physical therapist with whom I had been working left. I knew no one who had gone to him before. We met and he took the time to listen, and after hitting a rut in PT, I decided to give his program a chance. As for my background, I have danced my entire life (I’m in my 50’s), and I stopped four years ago after sustaining several injuries. I was determined to overcome my pain and figure out my body. Dr. Jan quickly became an ESSENTIAL part of this journey and has helped me IMMENSELY. He is supportive, kind, professional, and always reassuring. Even more, he is thoughtful, creative and intelligent in his approach. Dr. Jan knows his stuff! While the onus is on you as the patient to do the work, the payback is high. As an overachiever and perfectionist, I admittedly got frustrated with myself from time to time, not always seeing linear results. I had to make several mistakes to learn, but I persisted, and the effort has well been worth it. I am close to reaching my more aggressive goals after just 3 months. Doing the work is critical for success, but even if you did nothing at all and just allowed Dr. Jan to align you, you would still feel appreciably better. My first few initial adjustments before I started the program easily substantiated that. Wrapping up, I love that Dr. Jan takes a lot of pride in your results and his own. It is teamwork the entire way, and he wants you to succeed. He genuinely cares. I could go on gushing, but you likely get the point. The experience has well been worth the time and effort, and I am in a much better place. And as a final point, I am continuing my work with him beyond the 3 months!

I saw Dr Jan starting when I was 27 weeks pregnant. And I hair saw his new Dr. 4 sessions with Dr Jan and my back pain was gone. He literally saved me during my pregnancy. They also have a Westchester office which made it easier for me to go multiple times in the week

My improvement is nothing short of miraculous! I came to Dr. Jan with stage 4 bone on bone arthritis in my hip. The orthopedic doctor told me it would be only a matter of time before I came back for surgery. After only a month of working with Dr. Jan, I’m feeling so much better. My pain has subsided substantially. I’m walking better without sharp pain and my flexibility has improved about 60%. If he can help me make this much improvement after only a month working with him, I doubt I’ll ever need to do surgery. His personalized care and attention is extraordinary and incomparable to any other chiropractor I’ve been to before. He’s very knowledgeable, zones in on your problem areas and gets you quick results! Dr. Jan is the best!
