Diagnosis is the heart of medicine for Manhattan Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and each patient receives a full physical exam using a compilation of advanced, state-of-the-art techniques.

Young people 14 - 18 years of age are invited to participate in this randomized control study. Every patient will receive the proper treatment, some at once, some after 3 months. In early results patients’ curves have been reduced 9 - 16 degrees in 3 weeks. All care is without cost, including low-dose X-rays (EOS technology has only 1/9 the radiation of standard X-rays).

Enlarging on our successful 741 patient study, we invite participation in 12-minutes per day yoga which has been shown to raise bone mineral density. In over 200,000 hours of people doing this yoga, there have been no fractures, herniated discs, or serious injuries of any kind in spite of most participants having osteopenia or osteoporosis, and average being close to 72. We conduct weekly on-line classes that are free to participants. Those interested should click here or write carampmr@gmail.com or call (212) 472-0077.
