Dear Dr. Lefkowitz,
I was first referred to you by my primary care physician (PCP) because I had been suffering from severe migraine headaches.I had experienced migraine headaches for the better part of 20 years; and a serious side effect of these episodes was insomnia.It had come to the point where no medication or traditional therapies were providing any relief for either symptom. I must admit that I was extremely skeptical when my PCP first suggested I try chiropractic treatment for these migraines.However I can happily say that I felt relief from these headaches from the very first visit, and now simple monthly maintenance adjustments from you, has resulted in my being virtually headache free for over one year!If I hadn’t experience this relief for myself, I am sure I still wouldn’t believe it could work so quickly and effectively; and I would still be suffering.
Thank You!

Dr.
Lefkowitz,
At 34 I became
someone with a spine problem,
more specifically, a cervical spine problem. I
went
to an orthopedist who diagnosed me with two bulging
discs and
prescribed a steroid to help with the
inflammation and physical
therapy.
My mother begged me to see her chiropractor,
Dr.
Lefkowitz. She has had lower back problems for a few
years now and
swears by the relief of his treatments.
I refused his phone number because I
was terrified of
being manipulated. I thought, "How could that feel
good?
How could that possibly make me feel better?
Isn't that dangerous? Why
would I want someone
twisting my neck, the part of me that really
hurts?"
Well, since physical therapy had good intentions
but
wasn't helping much, I reluctantly called and made
an appointment with
Dr.Lefkowitz. I was scared of my
first adjustment but he was so gentle it
didn't hurt
at all. I regained movement in my neck and head. The
aches
in my neck and shoulders gradually dissipated
resulting in better sleep. I
began to look forward
to my appointments just like my mother had told me
I
would!
I highly recommend Dr.Lefkowitz for both newcomers
and
those
who have visited chiropractors in the past. He is
both
gentle
and caring for anyone needing relief from
chronic
pain.

Dr. Lefkowitz has helped me have a better quality of
life, for sure- and all without medication…he's helped heal my wrist and forearm
pain due to carpal tunnel syndrome, helped balance my body so that my neck &
back pain due to sitting in front of a computer all day doesn't get worse, and
more importantly has helped reduce my migraine headaches! He is a great find in
this big city where there are numerous chiropractors you can choose from. He
is smart, capable, open-minded, accessible and cares about his patients' well
being. What more can you want from a chiropractor?

Dr. Lefkowitz,
For over 10 years now, I’ve
been a firm believer in and advocate for back health. To the degree
my back is healthy and aligned, I find my overall health to be excellent,
and to the degree that I am unable to care for my back properly, I find ailments
plaguing my everyday life. I’ve had back problems off and on
throughout the years, and I’ve come to realize, without regular checkups
from my Chiropractor, they only get worse.
It makes sense to me!
I think of it this way: It’s virtually impossible to have a
conversation with someone on a cell phone while your service is dropping
in and out. Similarly, your brain and body communicate via your
spine . . . Well, when the spinal ‘service’ is ‘muffled’ (or
‘muted’ altogether) by subluxations, it’s kind of unreasonable
to expect the body to function efficiently or even effectively!
We get pretty annoyed when our mobile conversations are broken up by
bad service; I think we should be furious when our own body parts
can’t speak to each other!
Let’s face it, gravity is
working on me 24/7; 8 hours a day, I’m at an uncomfortable desk, 2
hours a day, I’m walking to and from that desk usually on various
forms of concrete; is it really too much trouble for me to get my back
a little attention twice a month?! Absolutely not!
With that in mind, I select
my Chiropractor very carefully . . . It’s really important to me!
In over 10 years I’ve been to my fair share of them, and after having
the opportunity to be Dr. Lefkowitz’s patient, I am pretty certain I
won't need to find another one! Both my wife and I see him regularly,
and we agree: He’s awesome! Friendly and professional,
of course, but his talent for adjusting specific problem areas in our
backs is peerless. I never feel as though he’s applying unnecessary
or imprecise force; rather, it’s obvious he’s applying measured
and focused pressure tailored to the specific adjustment he’s attempting
. . . and he gets the results. For the past two to three years,
my lower back has become more and more tightened and achy from poor
sleeping habits, bad posture, etc., and after only 4 months of regular
adjustments, some light dieting to get my weight down, and a few new
exercises to strengthen my back, I experience no more pain or stiffness
at all! I have more energy, I’m more wakeful during the day,
I even enjoy the 2 hour walk to and from my desk every day! (Well,
almost . . . not really. Hey, don’t expect miracles!)
Dr. Lefkowitz is a great doctor,
and what’s more he’s been a wonderful mentor to my wife and I in
trying to reach for our optimal health.
I know your experience will be the same!
