I went to my first chiropractor in 1983--when I returned to NYC to complete my university degree. I had been in a car crash then that resulted in a coma and shattered pelvis. Most important, regular chiropractic adjustments have allowed me to go off and stay off the medication that acted as a central nervous system depressant and made me suicidal. I've been going to Jay Heller for a few years now; he closed his Washington Place office and joined McMahon Chiropractic when he went into semi-retirement mode. He's now on the staff of McMahon Chiropractic one day a week; I've been going to chiropractors for over 20 years, and he's helping me keep my back straight--even as I wait for my hip-replacement surgery. The office accepts a number of different insurances, including Medicare; there is an affordable co-pay. They're a spacious lower level office in Chelsea, and I'm happy to be continuing my therapy there. The entire staff is wonderful and personable. read more

I recently fell on my back teaching a student to do squats using a chair. I went to Dr McMahon and reviewed what I did to my body when I fell. He was right on target to say I bruised my coccyx. and how he knew. That was a relief. With treatment, three weeks after the occurance my coccyx is asymptomatic. No pain! I continue to go to him because my back in general is getting more flexible with gentle treatment. DianaM read more

Dr. McMahon has been caring for my arthritis and the collapsing discs in my back and neck for several years. He is always very present and thorough. A few weeks ago he referred me to a supplement, Disc-Gard, so I tried it: all the components are things I used to buy separately, including the Glucosamine and MSM, but that was expensive and a lot of work to keep organized so it faded away. But this supplement has all of them in one place, I was feeling much better within a week. I also think there's at least one anti-inflammatory, perhaps the Zinc, because my help has gotten much clearer and this is the only change to my routine. I really can't say enough about the care I've gotten at McMahon Chiropractic. read more

I have been visiting Dr. McMahon for chiropractic services for several years, after the recommendation of a friend. Of the 4 chiropractors I have visited, he is by far the best. After scheduling my last visit, my back started to feel better even before I got to his office--he's that good! - Paul Kirby read more

Such a great and caring Chiro. Definitely highly recommend. Great communication and ongoing care. read more

I've been going to Chiropractors for years, not because they don't work but because, after a hip replacement and a knee replacement, I finally realized I was born with one leg of mine, 1/2 shoe size larger than the other and 1/2 inch longer! My hips must have been trying absorb the difference ever since. Looking for orthopedic shoes now. Thanks to Dr McMahon helping me to understand what my body was trying to tell me and relieving me of my back sprain. read more

MCMAHON CHIROPRACTIC is AMAZING!!! It was so refreshing to have a chiropractor in NYC who takes the time to explain how my body functions and what was going on with my health!! Dr. McMahon is compassionate and explains chiropractic so clearly! I never really understood the power of my nervous system and how misalignment in my spine could cause so many problems with my health! When I first went in, the diagnostics included an x-ray so that the alignment and the vertebrae could be seen. This doc diagnosed my misalignment that went from the legs through the hips and how that affected the back and neck. Through the years we worked on the misalignment with shoe inserts, physical therapy, adjustments, massage, realigning my sleep and sitting posture, and even some supplements. As with everything, if you take the treatment seriously and keep with it, it works!!! The office is well run, from the front desk to the doctor. I never felt rushed or as I did at previous chiropractic offices that I was just another number. From the minute you walk in, you are greeted and made to feel welcome. Everything is explained before the fact. Just trust the process and there is a good chance it will help you. Dr. McMahon feels like family and I can't recommend him enough! read more

I found this Chiropractor by a Google search. I've been dealing with back neck pain for years and it had gotten so bad that I could not walk 1/2 a block, clean my home, sit or stand for a few minutes at a time. I decided to go with this Chiropractor because he was convenient to my job location. I went in for a consultation and decided to move forward with one session. I've been hooked ever since. The Dr. sent me in for X-rays and it turns out that my spine is curved. So I decided to purchase a package of sessions (18) and have gone in for the work 3 times a week for the past 2 weeks. With every visit, I'm feeling less and less pain and more of my old self. Dr. McMahon was very personable, to both me and my children. He explained everything he was doing and showed us the reasons for him doing it. He is timely and I've never waited longer than 2 minutes to be taken in for a session. They last about 30 minutes, and I always feel immediate results. I'm looking forward to the next round of X-rays to see how much the curve in my spine has changed and the next round or back and neck popping. It' feel really good when that happens! The only downside is that they don't accept my particular insurance, but don't worry! There are other Insurances they do accept. I highly recommend this Chiropractor! He's simply awesome!!! read more

I have serious, back issues, suffer chronic pain. I see Dr. McMahon at least once a week, heave been seeing him going on 4 years. Without his skills and care, I believe I would literally be unable to walk. Not only a talented practitioner, a terrific guy. His office is run by a wonderful young woman. I can't recommend this practice too highly. read more

I love this doctor. I have just become a patient only a month ago but since then my pain and mental state have been improved upon. His front desk woman is amazing and they are so caring and everything you want a doctor to be. I think I finally found something that works for me and I am so thankful I have found this doctor read more

I fully credit Dr. McMahon with maintaining my body's health throughout a pretty grueling marathon training process. Between the EMS he uses on my lower back and hips and his full body adjustments (mostly neck and back, but I didn't know big toes could be adjusted!), he keeps my body functioning. He's instilled consistency - even if I skip one treatment, I can feel a difference in how my body performs. His prescribed hip exercises to do at home help when I'm traveling, etc. He's also proved to me that the harder I recover the harder I can run my next workout. I wish all healthcare professionals shared his same caring, patient + knowledgeable bedside manner. read more

27 Years Ago, I was Injured In A War My injury caused a loss of mobility and occasional pain in my knee. The VA and other doctors x-rayed my knee multiple times throughout the last 27 years and told me that, while I had some arthritis and cartilage loss due to age, there was not much wrong with my knee. Each time, they stopped at that. I learned to live with the pain and the lack of strength in that leg. Fast forward, I recently had incredible leg pain that resulted in the loss of mobility in the same leg. Pain shooting, throbbing, burning down my leg. I didn't want to move, but I had to. I went to the VA and the x-rayed my back and saw nothing out of the ordinary other than some narrowing due to age. I left in pain. I called, complained, and finally was scheduled for an MRI...in a month and a half! I guess I was supposed to live with the pain lack of movement until then. Great. A friend that works in the medical field (though not a doctor) suggested I go to his chiropractor to see if it would help. Out of a desperation to relieve some of my pain, I call his chiropractor the very next day. I had no idea it would be such a life changing call. I am a skeptic of everything. I don't like people touching me. And I don't like to be vulnerable to anyone. I am always on guard. It's my nature based on my experiences. So naturally, for me, I was not too keen to let some stranger twist me into vulnerable positions. And of course the naysayers at work were hot and heavy. So I arrived with a healthy bit of skepticism, but with hope in my heart. Doc took the time to discuss my issues and to inform me of what might be going on. He looked at my x-ray report and gave me helpful information on how to decipher the medical lingo. Then, doc hooked me up to this machine that sends pulses through my lower and middle back. It was intensely scary at first. Though as I got use to it over the first five minutes, it felt amazing. This was well worth the visit alone, but this is not the miracle on 21st Street I was about to experience. Doc came back in after the machine timer for the machine ran out. He chatted with me to calm my nerves and told me what he wanted to do as an adjustment. After the adjustment, I stood up and for the first time in 27 years, yes 27, I had no pain in my knee. Now, the pain came back shortly after, as doc said it would, but he also said that over time, the pain would fade if we kept working on it and if I was faithful to the exercises. Faithful I have been! In two months, I have no more pain in my knee and my leg is fine. Doc is amazing. Now, I am working with him to fix my posture and my rounding shoulders (Dowager's knot, I think). So, I am a convert. I think chiropractors are great, and mine is the best. Thank you Doc (or Steve, whatever you prefer - I call anyone who can help me feel less pain, doc) for being a thoughtful, caring, and incredibly skilled chiropractor. You saved me more than just from the pain. You changed my life. I am no longer as grumpy (because pain made me so) and I found out I am still a pretty funny guy. I lost that part for a while and losing the pain made me gain that back! read more

Doctor Steve Mc Mahon and his staff is very professional and friendly. I came here with a lower back injury...and after a few treatments I am feeling great.

He also provides nerve treatment evaluation to really get to he root of your problem. Thanks Doctor Steve! read more

Terrible experience! Unfortunately, I had to report him to my insurance company because he charged $80 for a back brace that they said is 100% covered and for stim (which he called physical therapy) which also is 100% covered. He refused to refund my money. read more

Dr. McMahon is amazing. I had been experiencing the worst pain I had ever felt in my life, a depleting pain from a herniated disc that left me bed bound and unable to walk for a week. After multiple doctors visits to various specialists, acupuncturists, physical therapists, nurse practitioners, you name it, the only thing that was able to cure my pain was Dr.McMahon. After a single session I was able to walk again and my pain was drastically subdued. It was an incredibly taxing week for me emotionally and physically not being able to walk due to the pain, as any New Yorker I rely greatly on the wellbeing of my body. Being unable to work because of debilitating pain is a different kind of hurt, it is incredibly frustrating. Dr.MaMahon was the only doctor of all that I had visited that actually HELPED me. He was incredibly professional and gentle, he took great care in explaining what was happening in my body and how he would address fixing my ailments. I'm incredibly grateful to have found out about his practice and am so thankful I had the good sense to visit him as soon as I could! read more
