Jay A. Okin, DC

If the Upper West Side builds something into your shoulders, Jay A. Okin, DC has been the neutral corner since the building on 240 W 73rd St cracked the first floor open. Spinal adjustments, rehabilitation exercises, posture coaching: they’ll walk through options without a sales script, and the place isn’t shy about referring out when imaging or co-treatment matters more.

Some nights you’d swear the subway turnstiles are milling your spine down to rebar; call (212) 362-4742 when the dull ache turns sharp. The walk from the 72nd or 79th stops is short enough that walking over fresh air beats limping uptown in gridlock. Directions are one tap away—map here already drops you at the first-floor landing.
