I have been going to chiropractors for over 20 years. The first chiropractor I went to was a very good one. After the first couple of months, I found profound relief. However, in my specific case, I learned that to maintain the results, and prevent further damage, I would need to go regularly indefinitely.
Due to a few residential moves to various locations in New York, I had to find a new chiropractor with each move. I ended up going to quite a few chiropractors, trying out a few in each area, until I found one who was good enough.
I learned the hard way why some people do not believe in chiropractic therapy. From my experience, I learned that many, if not most chiropractors are mediocre at best. I was lucky that the first chiropractor I ever went to was one of the good ones. Otherwise, my negative experience would have led me to a place where many people end up, resorting to needless and painful back surgeries, or taking addictive pain medications.
Fast forward to the last few years, I now live in Forest Hills, Queens. When I first moved to Forest Hills, I encountered a similar dilemma: finding a good chiropractor. I thought it would be easy, since there are so many doctors, including chiropractors in the area. However, once again, I discovered that good chiropractors are hard to come by, even in Forest Hills
During my search, the pandemic hit. All doctorsâ offices closed down. After a couple of months and no end to the horrendous pandemic in sight, my back was getting worse. I found a chiropractor who made house calls. He was good, but expensive! I knew I could not see him indefinitely.
Once things got back to normal, or the ânew normal,â I once again began my search for a good chiropractor in the area, but only to find more mediocre doctors. Some caused me even more discomfort! Then, I came across Dr. Nektalov. He was entertaining on his videos, and seemed to know what he was doing.
But was he as good as he looked? I was losing hope at that point, but I made an appointment.
After a few appointments with him, it became clear: I had found my chiropractor! After going to Dr. Nektalov for about 6 months now, I can honestly say he is one of, if not the, best chiropractors I have ever been to.
One of the first things I noticed was that the adjustments he gave me held much longer, which meant that I felt better for a longer period after an appointment. It was also clear he is passionate about what he does, and genuinely cares about his patientsâ progress. He asks me more questions at every visit than any doctor I ever met, not just chiropractors. He is genuinely interested in his patients and their lifestyle. This only makes him even better, as he gets to understand you and what you need. Back issues, I learned, begin way before you feel any pain. He understands that how a personâs mindset and body movements through life is ultimately one of the primary causes of your back and muscular/ skeletal issues.
So, the main point of this long review is really to make clear that, more than most people, I am qualified to judge the quality of a chiropractor, due to trying out so many over more than 20 years, and it would be helpful to take my judgement into consideration if youâre searching for one yourself.
Dr. Nektalov is one of the best chiropractors out there, if not the best, at least within the five boroughs of New York City. So, if you are in pain, and looking for a solution, your search will end if you...

I tried adjusting my own neck âcracking itâ for relief because I was so tense that I turned it hard the wrong way and ended up hurting myself. It felt like my right arm and shoulder collapsed it felt broken thatâs the best way I can describe the feeling, I was in so much pain I thought I was going to need surgery. I went to the hospital the next day and tried explaining everything to the doctor but they had no solution except for muscle relaxers which only hides and masked the pain for a while it doesnât fix the issue.
I went home in pain that day and continued my search for a solution. Later that evening I was on Facebook when I came across an ad which was Dr. Boris Nektalov I watched his videos and was impressed I immediately called to set an appointment. Best thing Iâve ever done. As soon as I walked in I felt really good about the place the staff was so nice they make you feel comfortable and show you around while explaining everything I knew I made the right choice.
Before anything Dr. Nektalov talks with you about any issue your experiencing and answers any questions you might have. After that he then performs an X-ray and shows you how your spine is doing he has a chart of a good spine and how it should look compared to how yours is. Once he sees no issues and feels like he can help thatâs when your first adjustment comes into play which for me with just 1 adjustment he was able to fix my problem. I was able to use my arm again within minutes I was able to lift things and gain my strength back I was shocked but at the same time so happy with the results that I had my dad start coming in with me as well and we now both enjoy and love Dr. Nektalov service we feel great after getting adjusted we also changed our lifestyle by eating better and exercising recommended by Dr. Boris the whole experience has been great and I definitely recommend this to anyone whoâs looking for a good chiropractor or...
   Read moreMy husband Wing hurt his back in July and he was in pain. He could barely walk or do anything correctly and had to take personal days off for a week. So i decided to look into a doctor who's specialize in the field and not just go to a regular doctor which will send us to therapy. My husband don't have a great insurance so we were very worry that it will cost a lot of money every time we have a doctor's visit. Once i found Dr. Boris Nektalov who i read that can do non-surgical spinal decompression i wanted my husband to go there and check it out. We were a little worry due to a couple of reasons. We did not have an appointment so we weren't sure if this was a strict office where appointments are require. I wasn't sure if Dr. Boris will take my husband's insurance or if he needed a recommendation from another doctor in order to see him. We were really happy we made the right decision to go to Dr. Boris because he was such a kind and understanding person that he saw us without an appointment and helped us right away to schedule a MRI scan to further assist us with the problem. My husband was diagnosed with a herniated disc and Dr. Boris explained to us clearly where the spinal problem was and what could be done. We paid for decompression sessions that Dr. Boris recommend and I'm super happy that we did. It was all worth it because day by day after a week my husband felt better and was able to at least move again like a normal person without the sharp pain he was experiencing. Dr. Boris is always very helpful with questions that my husband has and even though he has recover, it is great that Dr. Boris remind us of the precautions for the future. It's great to walk into a doctor's office being greeted nicely and Dr. Boris made sure to understand how you are feeling in every visit so he can help you. Very grateful ! I will definitely let anyone i know if they ever need a chiropractic....
