Conditions We Treat in Brooklyn

Pain rarely stays in a neat box. A stiff neck sets off headaches. A cranky low back sends a line of pain down one leg. This page lays out the conditions we treat in Brooklyn, grouped by where it hurts, so you can find your issue fast and read up on what actually helps. Every link goes to a service page or a plain-language guide written here at the clinic.

Dr. Patel is a solo chiropractor in Greenpoint, and the care here is hands-on and conservative. If your problem sits outside what a chiropractor should handle, you’ll get told that straight, along with where to go next.

How We Group the Conditions We Treat in Brooklyn

Start with the region that matches your pain. Each section leads with the main service page, then the specific guides underneath. Not sure where you fit? Jump to the last section and book a visit so we can sort it out in person.

Neck, Head, and Jaw

Most neck problems are mechanical, and they love to spread into headaches, jaw pain, and even dizziness. The upper neck is usually the driver.

• Neck pain and headache care, the main service page for this region.
• Tension headaches that start in the neck
• Text neck from too much screen time
• TMJ and jaw pain
• Dizziness and vertigo from the neck
• Cervical spinal stenosis
• Whiplash after a car accident

Back and Spine

Low back pain is the most common reason people walk in, and the fix depends on what’s actually generating it. A disc, a joint, a nerve, and posture all feel different and get treated differently.

• Back pain relief, plus targeted care for disc herniation, sciatica, scoliosis, and posture correction.
• SI joint pain in the pelvis
• Back pain when sitting
• Upper back pain when walking
• What an adjustment actually does
• One shoulder higher than the other

Shoulder, Arm, and Hand

Shoulder and arm pain often trace back to a tendon that won’t heal or a nerve getting pinched, sometimes up at the neck. Shockwave therapy earns its keep on the stubborn tendon cases.

• Shockwave therapy for chronic tendon pain.
• Frozen shoulder
• Shockwave for shoulder pain
• Tennis elbow
• Carpal tunnel and wrist numbness
• A pinched nerve

Hip, Knee, and Leg

Leg pain can start at the hip, the knee, or the low back. Where it hurts and how it behaves tells us where to look first.

• Hip pain
• Knee pain, including runner’s and jumper’s knee
• Sciatica that shoots down the leg
• SI joint pain that refers into the thigh

Foot and Heel

Heel and foot pain that flares with your first steps in the morning usually points at a tendon or the plantar fascia. Shockwave and hands-on care work well here.

• Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
• Achilles tendonitis

Injury and Sports Recovery

Hurt in a car accident, on the job, or at the gym? These are case types and activity patterns, not just body parts, and they each have their own path.

• Sports chiropractic for training and recovery.
• No-fault care after an auto injury
• Workers’ comp injury care
• The first 48 hours after whiplash

Not Sure Which One Fits?

That’s normal, and it’s what the first visit is for. Bring your story and where it hurts, and Dr. Patel figures out what’s driving it and whether chiropractic care is the right fit. If it isn’t, you’ll leave knowing where to go instead. Call (347) 625-1246 to check availability, or book online below.
