No-Fault & Auto Injury Care — Our Specialty
If you've been injured in a car accident in New York, you have the right to chiropractic treatment under your no-fault auto insurance — regardless of who caused the accident. The challenge for most patients isn't finding a chiropractor who accepts no-fault. It's finding one who truly understands it.
​
Dr. John has been treating no-fault auto injury patients for over 40 years. He understands the documentation requirements, the IME process, and how insurance companies operate — and he knows how to advocate for his patients when the system pushes back.
His no-fault treatment protocol is comprehensive: chiropractic adjustments to address spinal injury, Rapid Release Therapy for soft tissue damage and muscle spasm, in-office corrective exercises to support recovery, and nutrition guidance to aid the healing process. Everything is documented thoroughly and handled professionally.
​
Chiropractic Adjustments — The Foundation of Care
A chiropractic adjustment — also called spinal manipulation — is the core of what Dr. John does. Using precise, controlled force applied to specific joints of the spine, an adjustment restores proper movement, reduces nerve irritation, and addresses the mechanical cause of pain rather than just masking the symptoms.
​
Dr. John has been performing adjustments since 1980. That depth of experience means he's not guessing — he knows what he's feeling for, what needs to move, and how to get there. Whether your pain came on suddenly or has been building for years, the adjustment is where the work begins.
​
Rapid Release Therapy — Soft Tissue Relief That Works
Rapid Release Therapy uses high-frequency vibration to break up scar tissue, release muscle spasm, and restore mobility to soft tissue that has been injured or restricted. It is particularly effective for patients recovering from auto injuries, where soft tissue damage is common but often undertreated.
​
Dr. John incorporates Rapid Release Therapy as a core component of his no-fault treatment protocol — not as an add-on, but as a targeted tool for a specific clinical purpose. Patients typically notice reduced tightness and improved range of motion quickly, which allows the chiropractic adjustments to work more effectively.
​
Chiropractic for Athletes
Sports place significant and repetitive stress on the spine. Back and neck injuries are among the most common reasons athletes miss training and competition — and they are also among the most treatable with chiropractic care.
​
Dr. John treats athletes for back and neck injuries with the goal of restoring full function and getting them back to their sport as quickly as possible. His approach focuses on the mechanical cause of the injury — not just pain management — so the problem is addressed at its source rather than temporarily relieved and returned to.
​
Chiropractic During Pregnancy
Pregnancy places significant stress on the spine and pelvis. As the body changes to accommodate a growing baby, postural shifts, weight redistribution, and hormonal changes can cause back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica that make an already demanding experience even harder.
​
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe, gentle, and effective for many of these complaints. Dr. John has treated expectant mothers throughout his career and understands how to adapt his approach appropriately for each stage of pregnancy. If you're pregnant and dealing with back or pelvic pain, you don't have to just endure it.

What Our Patients Are Saying
"Nothing But Amazing"​
I was rearended by a drunk driver and my car was totalled, while i was injured from the accident. I had whiplash so bad i couldnt walk straight, everything was out of order in my back.
Dr. John Nowak took me in without hesitation, he immediately got to work and after the first visit i was already feeling better, now its been a couple week and im so much better than i was on the first visit.
It has been nothing but amazing and very easy on my end while he takes care of everything. I'd give him more than 5 stars if i could.

"Already Feeling Pain Free"​
I started seeing Dr. John Nowak two weeks ago for sharp pain in my glutes and lower back and the results have been nothing short of amazing!
From the very first session, I felt that I was in expert hands. Not only is Dr. John Nowak incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but his approach to care is personalized and genuinely caring.
Each visit has brought noticeable improvements, and I'm already feeling pain-free and more mobile than I have been in months.
If you're looking for a chiropractor who truly listens and delivers results, I can't recommend Dr. John Nowak enough! My only complaint is that I can’t give him more than 5 stars!

"I Immediately Felt Better"​
Went away with the military last month. Came home and sciatica was out of whack to the point I couldn't get out of bed.
Wife called Dr. Nowak and he immediately took me in. I immediately felt better. Had to make a couple of visits a week. But I improved quickly.
Thank you Dr. Nowak I am better. I continue to see him for well being check ups

"I Was In The Right Place"​
From the moment I walked into Dr. John Nowak’s office, I knew I was in the right place. His warm energy, deep expertise, and genuine care for his patients truly set him apart from any other chiropractor I’ve seen. He took the time to listen, thoroughly assess my concerns, and tailor a treatment plan that brought almost immediate relief.
What impressed me most was his holistic approach. He doesn't just treat symptoms, he gets to the root of the issue and empowers you with tools to maintain your wellness long after your visit. His adjustments are gentle yet incredibly effective, and he always takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes you feel informed and confident.
I leave every session feeling lighter, more aligned, and full of gratitude. Dr. Nowak isn’t just a chiropractor, he’s a true healer and a gift to the community. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your health and well-being, look no further. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
