Our staff

Dr. Michael Taylor: After receiving my Doctorate in Chiropractic medicine (D.C.) in 1988 from The New York Chiropractic College I entered into private practice.

My practice style is geared towards spending time with my patients. I am experienced at approaching unresolved issues of persistent and recurrent pain. I review your history and your body completely. Not just the immediate area of concern but your entire structure. You are not a body part or region of pain but an integrated system that requires a global evaluation. Your neck pain could be affected by your low back, while your lower back pain could be affected by your neck. Too often a problem is misdiagnosed and mistreated because of too narrow a focus. I believe that surgical medicine and pharmaceutical medicine are vitally important and useful when appropriately applied and equally devastating when misdirected. The most dangerous thing to you is a myopic, prejudicially thinking doctor. I am proud of the other health care providers that I work with because they share my feelings on this issue and work with me to benefit the patient, not their ego.

I am often asked what technique of treatment I use. There is no one technique, no magic bullet. It takes a variety of tools to help each person, which will vary depending on the situation. There is a tendency in my field to focus on a particular method or philosophy. This is transferred to the patient who now thinks there is only one way to treat a problem. This is essentially wrong, the solution is to apply all the different approaches in combination to bring about the quickest and longest lasting result. This will make people independent and self sufficient with their bodies.

In addition to my full time practice, I am an acknowledged expert in the area of vehicular trauma, its effects on the body and the treatment for those effects.
