Chiropractic Treatment
Dr. Bouchard offers chiropractic treatment to both athletic and non-athletic patients. Working with athletes demands both rapid and lasting results, as they need to compete tomorrow, not after 20 visits to the chiropractor.
Dr. Bouchard uses techniques similar to Active Release Techniques, which are state of the art soft tissue techniques used with professional athletes. She spends 30 minutes plus with each patient and most of that time is working with soft tissue. Muscles are what move the body, so Dr. Bouchard believes if they are over or under used they can go into spasm. When overly tense, muscles lose blood supply. This causes a lay down of fibrous tissue, rendering them stiff and rigid. The lack of muscular elasticity compromises the blood supply to the joints. They can start to lay down protective fibrous tissue, becoming inflamed and irritated, causing pain.
Dr. Bouchard diagnoses the muscles that have lost their elasticity and reinstates blood supply to the appropriate area. Her goal is to achieve 50-80% improvement in the first visit. In most cases the condition is resolved in 4 to 5 visits, depending on how many years the condition has existed.

Patients’ Testimonials:
Sonara Chase, City Search Review Best Chiro Experience – Dr. Bouchard is amazing and I would not have the lower back recovery I have today without her. She adjusts the muscles as well as the bones so that they don’t just pull my bones back out of alignment. I was hit by a drunk driver and had several dance injuries, so I had a lot of pain. Today I am able to sit in class or on a plane in comfort and without squirming because of her treatments. So grateful.

New York’s Best Chiropractor –
New York’s Best Chiropractor – Dr. Michelle Bouchard is New York’s best chiropractor. If you’re in pain, see her before you go to an orthopedist. Instead of prescribing drugs and medical tests, she will probably begin treating you immediately. Be prepared for a doctor who really cares. You will be amazed at how much better you feel when you leave her office. You should see results after one or two sessions. People travel long distances to her office on 21st Street in Manhattan because they know it’s really worth the trip. She works wonders with even very severe back and neck pain. She has also helped me through episodes of foot pain, TMJ, and tendonitis. Before I started going to her I was in constant severe pain all over my body. Now that’s all in the past. Dr. Bouchard and her staff keep me in good physical condition so that I can pursue an active lifestyle and a physically demanding career. I go in when I feel I need a tune-up because I know that going in sooner will save me weeks of pain and keep me at my best.

I’d call her a Chiropractor/healer! – From my dilated experience with chiropractors in several countries and continents I can definitely say that Dr. Bouchard’s approach and passion to healing patients is second to none! I am totally amazed at how connected she is to her and her patients’ senses and how every time I go to see her I barely need to explain myself. She knows instinctively what needs to be addressed and she’s not failed a single time! She’s a truly gifted human. Thumbs up for someone who’s decided to offer a qualitative service!
