Lamb Chiropractic & Wellness

I could see why this place has good reviews, Mr. Lamb has good energy. But it was a weird and shocking experience for me. Here’s why… Mr. Lamb asked if it was my first time and I said yes. Before he start, Lamb notifed me «I may get better or feel nothing or my condition can get worse — and that «he doesn’t care». I was shocked to hear the «doesn’t care» part, but I continued anyway because I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time. After my session to him, walking to subway home, i still couldn’t get out of my head his comment to me and I wonder why the good reviews on Unilocal.I kinda knew already though at the back of my head that people in the medical field are just humans doing their job to help what they can… but do they really have to tell me that «they don’t care». Hence, this low grade, but on a second thought perhaps I could give him a 2.99 for being honest.

I found Lamb Chiro through their Groupon deal, and am so glad I did! It is really difficult to find a good chiro, but Dr. Lamb is great. Other chiros I have been to have been super pushy which I hate, but Dr. Lamb is very chill and super friendly! And of course his adjustments are great. I came in with a really bad neck/​shoulder ache but after the first session it felt right back to normal, and the second session cleared up any remaining achiness. He also showed me some stretches to do for my neck.
He does chat with you and others in the waiting room during adjustment sessions but I didn’t mind that at all, it’s nice and relaxing!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Lamb now for about 3 years; and it took far too long to find him! Certainly glad I did. What a great Chiropractor! NYC has an over-​abundance of chiropractors, some good — some not so good. Dr. Lamb is simply one of the best. He takes his time, being very particular about your adjustment and treatment. With each visit, my adjustments become more and more specific to my particular issues and needs. Dr. Lamb’s advice on how to maintain a healthy spine and well-​being is educated and easy to comprehend. The office atmosphere is very laid back, so much so that it may be rather surprising to some new patients but you quickly come to understand the environment, relax and enjoy the expert treatment. And Mindy at the front desk always has a sweet smile for every patient. Highly recommend Lamb Chiropractic & Wellness.

A lot of 4 and 5 star reviews so I’m throwing in mine. I’ve seen this chiro many times and would still recommend him to a friend. Nice bedside manner and appreciate the fact he does not upsell.
I try to schedule appointments during times that are less busy. As you’ve read, the adjustments are done in front of others — suburban mall style– which some would not feel comfortable with. I don’t mind this necessarily, but what does irritate me is sometimes the Dr is chatting away with other clients during my adjustment, and I feel he is not 100% focused on me so I don’t get the adjustment I need. So therefore, it’s hit or miss when this happens as my adjustment is rushed. This is especially the case if there are several people coming in right before me or after me, or there is someone particularly chatty showing up (I think my health issues should take precedence over your fabulous weekend plans in Newport). Otherwise, this is a decent value for a no-​frills chiro fix.

Dr. Lamb is the absolute best. I came to him barely able to walk. Had been seeing another chiro for weeks to the tune of hundreds and hundreds of dollars and was not seeing any results. He identified my problem quickly. Results did not happen overnight but after confirming my bulgling disc with x-​rays he was quickly able to bring results. I was feeling great after just a few visits. Honestly, it’s hard to describe the entire story, but all I can say is that he is a truly caring and talented doctor. He is interested in your recovery before money or insurance or anything else. He is just the best, and after trying a couple of other chiros– I will never go to anyone else in the city. Fantastic doctor and person!

Dr. Lamb, his assistant, and shiatsu team are the best!!!
He has been taking care of me, my friends, my coworkers, their friends and families and their coworkers… and the circles of healing are getting bigger and bigger everyday. It just shows you how an awesome Chiropractor he is, and his big friendly personality makes people comfortable and helps feel better in the cozy environment (not to mention many cute stuffed lambs!).
I have multiple sclerosis, experienced few bad slipped disks, and the tiring flat feet! But I’ve been getting Dr. Lamb’s chiropractic adjustments regularly for over 10 years, and completed many half marathons and full marathons. It’s a miracle how I feel so energetic and lighter after each time getting adjusted.
Dr. Lamb helps me keep running!

Please accept this as my family’s endorsement and recommendation of Lamb Chiropractic and Wellness. Dr. Lamb has cared for me, for my husband and our five-​year old daughter for several years. We have nothing but praise for Dr. Lamb and his staff.
My husband injured his back last summer. The injury eventually required surgery. Dr. Lamb and his massage team worked with my husband before and after the surgery to alleviate pain while helping his flexibility, strength and healing.
My daughter and I see Dr. Lamb for regular adjustments as well as relief when symptoms of cold or flu arise. His adjustments and direction help maintain our immunity and the duration of the illness.

My daughter, who has a severe chronic pain condition, and I have been seeing Dr. Lamb for almost 3 years. He is nice; he is competent; he is responsive in emergencies; and he is funny! Over the last 35 years I have had experience with mediocre chiropractors, one or two horrors, and four superstars of the healing arts. Dr. Lamb is one of the four superstars, and the only one we’ve found in NYC.
His office is very conveniently located (diagonally across the street from Grand Central). It is also tiny and not private — an entry/​receptionist room, a small room used by a massage therapist, and his treatment room which contains 5 chairs in one corner for patients to wait. So the adjustments take place in front of other people if someone else is waiting. Everyone seems to be fine with it and I’ve met some lovely people in the office.
He has two adjustment tables, an inversion machine, a vibrating machine, and a foot and calf massager. People use the various machines before and after getting adjusted. I find that 5 minutes on the vibrating machine loosens me up so that everything seems to move more easily. My daughter usually gets adjusted and then hangs upside down on the inversion machine for 5 or ten minutes. He was incredibly helpful suggesting an excellent herbal supplement that helps with her allergies and in helping her find an inexpensive neck brace.
I don’t know what Clara M’s problem is with Dr. L. He told us when he had his accident last year. He did very few adjustments for a couple of weeks, but until I read her review, I had forgotten he was injured. His competence (many months after he was injured), in my experience, is the same as it has always been — phenomenal and incredibly healing.
If you want a wonderful, conveniently located chiropractor, who is in until 7pm three nights a week; who will work with you on cost and help you to maximize your available insurance benefits; who will listen to you and only recommend the number of sessions absolutely necessary; and who will help you to feel GREAT
come and try out Lamb Chiropractic.

If I can give negative star, I would.
This chiropractor Adam Lamb INJURED my neck very badly after he adjusted me recently. Now I am suffering on daily basis from this serious injury from him. When he was adjusting my neck, I felt a sharp pain on my neck that he was tearing my left neck muscle and hurting my neck vertebrae right below my head.
I have been seeing him on and off for about 1 year. I found him on Unilocal and thought I should give a try. At the beginning, he was nice and fixed me pretty well. But then end of last year or early this year. He told the patients in his office that he injured his fingers during a motor cycle accident. I being a kind patient spent my own money bought him a herbal ointment that helps healing. He thanked for that and he told me it has been helping him. But he still cannot heal completely after all these months. The last three treatments, he could not adjust my neck right, and the worst is the last 2 times, he could not do it and when he turned my neck, I felt bad hurting from his adjustment.
The worst was on the last treatment, he was adjusting and turning my neck very wrongly that I felt like he was tearing my left neck muscle, I was screaming and hurting so bad in his office. Even though he apologized after that, the damage is totally done. Now I am miserable suffering from serious chronic headache and neck pain. It has a huge effect on my daily activities, and I have to stop my gym activities. I cannot even swim for more than 15 minutes without neck pain (on the areas that he injured me) and also when after swimming more than 15 minutes, I will suffer from more headache and some dizziness. I cannot even carry a few pounds of groceries without the affected area being painful. I paid him to heal me not to injure more.
I never had one chiropractor injure my neck this serious. He is very unprofessional this way. Now, I am suffering from this injury caused by his wrong adjustment. I have serious chronic headache and my neck hurts that I have to pay $ 120 per session to see a specialized therauptic massage. This massager is very good and he told me once the soft tissue get injured, it will take so long to heal. I worry how long it takes me to heal from this injury. Also, the pain spread to my both shoulders. Before being injured by this chiropractor, my most hurting area is not the neck, right now, my most hurting areas is the neck and shoulders. I paid my money to see a chiropractor to heal me, not to injure me much more. There are so many other good and ethical doctors and chiropractors out there. I will never see him anymore.

Mr. Miracle. I had really bad neck pain and after first meeting he basically helped me to get rid of 99% of pain. Second meeting even better! I recommend him to every human being. Such a nice guy with positive energy. Little massage before adjustment helps a lot! Great team! So glad I went there.

Was recommended to Lamb by my previous chiropractor and loved him! He is very personable and easy to talk to, gave me a great adjustment and explained everything he was doing and looking for! I’m setting up a monthly appointment now!

Ok so I need my body to be functioning at top performance level because I’m a massage therapist and I may have to massage 5 – 6 bodies a day. I specialize in Deep Tissue, Sports Massage and Pre-​natal, so I work hard. Adam is one of my secret weapons of my Body Upkeep Team. I understand that physical pain is often psychosomatic, I’ve read John E. Sarno’s books and I’ll be reading Molecules of Emotion next (recommended by Sarno in The Divided Mind), but, I am human, and it’s tough to treat yourself. My neck and SI joints were bothering me for a week, one visit was all I needed yesterday to get me back in action. Thanks Adam, let’s call a spade a spade, you’re the best.

I got a groupon for my first visit. I’ve had chiropractic care before, my brother in CA is a chiropractor. So I didn’t need explanations of every little thing. The Doc walked in and introduced himself via first name, Adam. Asked me what I was looking for. «An adjustment!» We spoke about my previous experience with chiropractic care and the main issues I have. I gave him my MRI printout and he sat and went over it with me. NOT ONCE did he try to «dumb it down» or insult my intelligence of what I know about my body and what’s going on with it. He spoke WITH me not AT me. This is extremely important. Anyway I got a ten minute massage or so from their shiatsu therapist. Then I got a very thorough adjustment. He kept talking to me about his opinion on how we get disc bulges and herniations (MRI results). And then he showed me how to use the inversion table he had. I told him I ordered one and it was en route. Pleased with my purchase, he educated me on how it works with the body and how to use it correctly. This guy is awesome. I’ve seen a few different chiropractors since moving to NYC 4 ½ years ago and this is The Guy To See.
The adjustment room is the same as the lobby/​waiting room. There are a few chairs lining the walls, comfortably. So if you prefer absolute privacy for your adjustment this may not be your place. But this forum also allows discussion among the other patients. And I believe a community of support (see how I did that? Support? People that have your back!!!) is important when talking about health.
I’ll be back. They don’t accept my insurance (no one does, it’s MetroPlus which is a lengthy review all of it’s own) but they have a cash value that works for me and is fair, in my opinion.

Simply put: Dr. Lamb (Adam) is amazing! He’s enthusiastic about everything he’s doing and he genuinely cares about your well being.
I came in on a Unilocal deal and I’m more than impressed with what I got in exchange. I’ve been to many chiropractors and he was not trying to push anything on me and he treated me as though I had been coming to him for years. He had a smile on his face the entire time and it was contagious with everyone. *It was very informative as well and never missed a beat to explain his process and to ease your mind.
I highly recommend Adam and I will be back (no pun intended) as he is definitely my goto NYC chiropractor.

After reading mixed Unilocal reviews of several other chiropractors, I decided to come here (through Groupon). The four and five star ratings Lamb Chiropractic receives are definitely well earned. I had a really positive experience here! The shiatsu massage was very calming and relaxing. I left feeling much lighter and noticeably less tense in my shoulders.
Dr. Lamb is very personable. Like other Unilocalers have said, he really takes the time to talk with you about your ailments and concerns, and to explain what he’s doing. He seemed genuinely dedicated to providing quality service. I would definitely recommend him.
NOTE: The area where Dr. Lamb does his work is also the waiting room. While it’s cozy and Dr. Lamb makes the space welcoming, the open space set up might be awkward for some.

This guy is the cats keyboard! Straight and simple, one of the best chiropractors I’ve ever seen.
I used the Unilocal $ 40 deal and got an amazing 20 minute Shiatsu massage followed by a full adjustment, including some specific post adjustment exercises. At no time did he seem concerned whether or not I would be a returning patient. His focus was primarily on my immediate care.
The guy is professional, thorough, caring, patient, and makes you feel as though he wants to treat more than just a quick adjustment. I’d highly recommend him.

I came to Dr. Lamb with a groupon and WOW was it a steal!
Firstly, the shiatsu massage I received was AMAZING! The massage room is very peaceful-​it smells good, has relaxing music playing in the background, and has beautiful origami swans on the walls! The lady who massaged me was strong (In a very good way!) and she when I was finished, I felt perfectly ready for the chiropractic portion.
Dr. Lamb was fantastic. He’s really friendly and GOOD. I told him to please crack whatever he could, and he went to town! I went in because I had really bad neck tension and I felt like a new woman when I walked out. (And it felt even BETTER the next day!)
I also liked that he didn’t pressure me to come back. (Even though I will!) His regulars that were seated in the waiting area of the room were proof enough that he’s worth coming back to.

I feel superb! I used the $ 40 Unilocal deal — 1hr massage + chiropractic adjustment. The shiatsu massage (by Chie) and the overall atmosphere is really nice/​welcoming/​relaxing.
There are 2 rooms, one is a dimly lit massage room and the other is a larger, blue-​walled, lamb-​lined* (more info below) chiropractic + miscellaneous room.
MASSAGE:
Chie has a calming, relaxing energy. Her shiatsu massage includes some reiki. I felt very soothed by her. She was very attentive, even after the massage while Dr. Lamb was readjusting me bones.
MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR CHIE WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT!
CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT:
Dr. Lamb has a fun energy which carries over to his fellow patients waiting on the sidelines, whether it be on a chair with massage tools, standing on the vibration machine (to loosen things up) or even getting adjusted by him. He introduced us to one another to make everyone feel comfortable.
LAMB-​LINED* refers to the many lambs (stuffed animals, figurines, etc) that have been given to him for his awesomeness (and surname).
Would return! Also, as TJ R. pointed out in his review, Dr. Lamb is not pushy like some other chiropractors can be.

I felt like this was a great introduction to chiropractic adjustment. Dr. Lamb was really nice, and had a great rapport with several repeat customers who were there at the same time I was. He’s very easy to talk to and lets you know what he’s doing while he’s doing it, so that helps make the experience easy. I basically got a few neck and back cracks, and he pointed out that my hips were slightly out of alignment (I knew this) by demonstrating to the waiting room how my left leg was slightly longer than my right because of it.
The shiatsu massage lasted 20 – 30 minutes and was really interesting. I think the massage therapist’s name was Amori, but I might be getting that wrong. She was an absolute dynamo, lifting my legs and arms all over the place! I got exhausted just thinking about the work she must put in to do that all day. It was really relaxing for me though; it was pretty great. There were little bits of Reiki and meridian /​nadi work thrown in, if you’re interested in these alternative therapy stuff you will recognize them while getting worked on.
I do a lot of yoga so I’m pretty flexible and the good Dr. basically said I didn’t need that much work /​adjusting, but I still have been feeling a little off balance (left side tighter than right). For me the proof will be how I feel on the mat tomorrow morning.
No matter how I end up, I would encourage anybody who is interested in getting an adjustment to pick up the Unilocal deal. The massage or the adjustment alone are worth more than $ 40 — to get both at once is an incredible deal.

Loved Dr. Lamb! He came highly recommended by my old chiropractor in San Diego and I couldn’t be more pleased with him.
Purchased the Unilocal deal (a total steal!) and had an adjustment, shiatsu massage and consultation from Dr. Lamb. I felt better the moment I was adjusted!
Will definitely make this my wellness spot in the city. Thanks Dr. Lamb!
