Cucci Chiropractic, a family-oriented chiropractic practice on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, is marking more than 25 years of service while introducing new Spanish-language intake forms to better accommodate the city’s diverse patient population. The practice, led by founder Dr. Joseph Cucci at 131 East 61st Street, has long served adults, children, professionals, commuters, and families with individualized chiropractic care.
New patients can now access intake forms in both English and Spanish through the practice’s website at Cucci Chiropractic. The forms include adult and pediatric versions, with a dedicated Spanish-language adult intake form available to help Spanish-speaking patients prepare relevant health information before their scheduled visits. This move reflects the practice’s commitment to reducing barriers to care in a multilingual city.
Dr. Joseph Cucci, who has devoted over two and a half decades to chiropractic services, emphasized the importance of listening to patients. “New York patients often balance demanding work schedules, long commutes, extended periods at a desk, and physically active lifestyles,” he said. “Our goal is to listen carefully, explain what we find, and develop an approach that fits the individual instead of applying the same plan to everyone.”
Each new patient undergoes a thorough consultation and evaluation designed to give the practice a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s health history, current concerns, movement patterns, posture, daily demands, and personal goals. Based on examination findings and clinical suitability, care recommendations may include chiropractic manipulative therapy, the Activator Method, upper cervical techniques, manual therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, kinesiology taping, rehabilitation exercises, neuro re-education, postural evaluations, scoliosis screenings, and digital X-rays where clinically appropriate.
Additionally, the practice offers equipment-based and non-surgical supportive options such as spinal traction, flexion-distraction, shockwave therapy, deep tissue laser therapy, and performance rehabilitation exercises. These services are not automatically recommended but are guided by each patient’s history, symptoms, examination findings, goals, and overall health status.
The Manhattan office is conveniently located to serve residents, professionals, and commuters near the Upper East Side. Appointment hours are Monday from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Patients are encouraged to confirm current hours and availability directly with the practice. For more information or to schedule an appointment, patients can visit the practice’s website or call 212-980-9332.
Cucci Chiropractic notes that a consultation and examination are used to determine whether chiropractic or supportive care is appropriate. When a patient’s presentation indicates the need for a different type of evaluation or treatment, coordination with or referral to another qualified healthcare professional may be recommended.
