We address musculoskeletal pain, improve nervous system function, and enhance overall wellness through individualized treatment plans. Our approach integrates postural analysis, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle recommendations to achieve lasting pain relief and improved mobility.

Our physical therapy programs combine manual techniques with targeted exercises to restore mobility and strength. Certified therapists utilize methods like Active Release Technique and Graston Technique to treat soft tissue injuries. Treatment plans emphasize functional recovery, injury prevention, and long-term musculoskeletal health through personalized, hands-on care.

Our therapeutic massage services address muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation through various modalities. Skilled therapists use deep tissue work, myofascial release, and neuromuscular techniques to alleviate pain and enhance recovery. Sessions are customized to address specific conditions while supporting overall wellness and stress reduction.

Our acupuncture treatments use traditional Chinese medicine principles to address pain and systemic imbalances.

My daughter has now completed three Scolismart boot camps with Dr. Sid. We are very pleased with Dr. Sid's alternative approach to scoliosis, which does not involve a brace or surgery. Dr. Sid is a thoughtful, caring doctor. My daughter appreciates his humor and quick wit. His new office in Harlem is welcoming and full of innovative technology. I highly recommend Esprit Wellness and Dr. Sid.

Awesome staff, neat place, latest equipment and a great Doc. Also, the place is easy to find, even on a bike!

Treatment for scoliosis here has been life changing for our family. Would not go to any other provider, and would choose this over conventional methods any day. The results and freedom for the individual dealing with scoliosis is miles apart from other options. Highly recommend.

I was very happy with my visit to Esprit Wellness. The office was very clean and modern, the staff was wonderful and I felt inspired by my visit. I feel positive and optimistic about my back issues now. Dr. Sid was very patient and took the time to answer all of my questions. The Scolismart approach to treating scoliosis is worth exploring for anyone suffering with scoliosis.

Dr. Sid is very good at his Scoliosis specialty. The methods he uses and the machines he employs in his office are state of the art. The physical therapy doctor is wonderful and the entire staff is very friendly. If you have back or neck problems, or in need of physical therapy, don't hesitate to call or visit Spirit Wellness Clinic. You won't regret having done it.

My daughter (Madeline) has completed two boot camps with Dr. Sid for her scoliosis. The results have been promising. Dr. Sid is knowledgeable and caring. Madeline enjoyed working with him. And Mona and Ebony were fantastic. They went out of their way to make out experience positive. We feel fortunate that Dr. Sid offers an effective *non-brace* approach to scoliosis. I encourage others to check it out. Kim

Dr. Sid is the only doctor I trust with my spine. I've had scoliosis for 20 years and finding his office was a blessing. I can count on him and his staff to provide me with the best possible care when i'm in their hands and that alone makes me feel great about the experience but the outcome has been incredible each time and i CANNOT thank them more for that. This changed my whole life. I can't wait to go again.

Great experience as this is my first time doing this type of therapy for the spine! welcoming environment, good music, and friendly people! Will update more as the week goes on!

I have a longtime injury to my C4. In a single visit and adjustment with Dr Sid I can now turn my neck to the left 30 degrees more then before the adjustment! A thanks you would never suffice, I'm in sheer amazement of how much better my body feels and works in as little as one visit. I'm really looking forward to coming back and the continued healing I'm confident I'll receive! Both thumbs up, I highly recommend after having been to 2 other Chiropractors.

Dr. Sid and his staff are AMAZING and we are so thankful for everything he has done for our daughter! We honestly can't say enough wonderful things about him and this program. Our 10 year old daughter attended the one week ScoliSMART Boot Camp program at Dr. Sid's NYC office. Her curvature was at 29 degrees. After only two days (yes, days!) of Dr. Sid's intensive therapy program, her curvature went down to 21 degrees!

I was completely AMAZED! The care and attention our daughter received was nothing but exceptional. If you don't accept the "wait and see" approach, then this is the place for you! Dr. Sid, thank you for all that you do and for paving the way for finding the best & most effective ways to treat scoliosis!

Dr. Sid is amazing, compassionate and knowledgeable. He will heal you! 5 years ago he cured me of chronic neck pain I suffered for 10 years until i found Esprit Wellness. Last month I went to NYU for severe back pain and they gave me inflammatory meds and a script for physical therapy. I could not handle the pain so I went to see Dr. Sid the next day. ( I should have gone straight to Dr. Sid) We did muscle stretches (yoga poses, ) electric stimulation, cupping and a chiropractic adjustment ALL IN ONE VISIT. Unheard of in NYC.

You would have to go to several different places for all that work. I walked out feeling 50% better and woke up the next day 80% better. 2 more visits and I'm healthy and happy again. I cannot recommend anyone more wholeheartedly than I do Dr. Sid and his great staff.

Marlene, the owner sent me a personal mail calling Dr. Sid as part of the team rather than acknowledging this is her husband she is defending in the mail. Please see the previous reviews below of the ownership of Esprit. The receptionist's name is Evelyn Landaverde who was not qualified to take my sessions that I mentioned in my early review. I was questioned in Marlene's email about my perception, and replied to Marlene why is she gaslighting my experience and perception?

She has offered a refund but she is not fully understanding the gravitas of the situation. Misogyny and body shaming a woman's body by the person-in-charge who supposedly is supporting the client is a No-No. It is telling given the reviews below this is not the first time of the owners' questionable behavior and conduct. Please be very careful and avoid this place at all costs. There are too many health and nutrition coaches in NYC that really have a high level of integrity.

Hi Dr. Sid, We want to thank you very much, Shanon and Cristina, for your dedication and professionalism during the two weeks BootCamp that Nico had on January 2018; for teaching him how to fight back the scoliosis and for giving us hope. We are very grateful with you and amazed with the results in such a short time. My son is following very diligently his therapy at home and his posture has improved tremendously. ScoliSMART works!

Best regards, Fiorella V Aloha Dr. Sid, We want to thank you, and your staff, for your dedication and care to your patients. During the 2 weeks of boot camp I was deeply touched by the love given to your young patients. My wife and I have found in you strength and hope, comfort and relief on knowing that we are providing Nicolas with the best treatment available. Many alohas to you. Mahalo Antonio V.

I cannot say better things about Dr. Sid and his scolismart program. I started treatment in my mid-late 20's so was hesitant we'd be able to make much progress - however I'm now 2 bootcamps in and have been able to correct my curve 11 degrees. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Highly recommend, it's worth every cent.

From our consultation, I knew I had come to the right place. Dr. Sid was very professional and friendly and was very knowledgeable about scoliosis. The aims and objectives of treatment were explained and the non-invasive procedures were outlined and it was very affordable and cost-effective. After two weeks of treatment my daughter's curve was reduced by an amazing 13 degrees. Surgery is not the only option that people with scoliosis have.

On day one she said that she is so grateful to me for bringing her to Dr. Sid and his team as it was the first day that she was not in pain. I cried tears of joy that day. Thank you Dr. Sid, Marlene and Evelyn! I thank God for you and will forever be grateful.

I first found Esprit Wellness when looking for alternative treatment for my teen son's scoliosis. After an in-depth phone discussion with Dr. Sid about a treatment plan we made our reservation at the clinic. As soon as we arrived we were treated with welcoming smiles and made to feel right at home. Dr. Sid has been successfully treating my teen's scoliosis for 3 years. During this time my son has grown a lot but the curvatures in his spine have remained stable and have even improved. I highly recommend Esprit Wellness and Dr. Sid to any patient with Scoliosis or other back problems.

I was there back in January of 2017. It was so welcoming I felt so comfortable. I did The boot camp for two weeks. It's helped me so much I came there with a 49 degree curve and left with a 39 degree curve. I also have the SAS scoliosis active suit. It's help me so much. We need to spread the awareness. Because I didn't know I had scoliosis until after I had my first born and that was back in 2005. So this is the place you want to get help for it. It was so worth it because I won't get surgery. So please check them out they are amazing!

I received a consultation from Dr. Sid via skype. He kindly explained to me that contrary to what I had been told there are effective ways to treat and manage scoliosis. This was very helpful and encouraging too me and it resulted in me finding the type of help that I required. Dr. Sid gave the impression of being very committed to his job of facilitating healing and made assessments based on my individual case. He really genuinely believes in the treatment he offer, which is important, but even more important is that he have very good reason to do so.

If you are looking for weight loss or management, Dr. Sid is the best. He uses Ideal Protein, and has lots of ideal protein items in stock. Dr. Sid closely monitors your progress and success. Each week he will take your measurements, weight, and percent of body fat. He is very knowledgable about the different products, and has also tried the products himself. His office is very flexible with scheduling, and you are able to schedule evening appointments after work. At the end of your appointment, you get a print out of your progress from week 1. Showing all the inches and weight you have lost.

I'm so happy I chose Esprit Wellness for my spinal therapy. To the outside world, I looked happy and full of life. However privately, I suffered every day with excruciating neck pain. After a week of therapy, I started to feel like a brand-new person. Less pain and my posture improved a great deal. This place is incredible! The staff is extremely professional and appointments are on time (rare these days!) Dr. Sid displays a genuine concern for his patients.you don't feel like another number. Also, there's a weight management program at Esprit Wellness.

I was able to lose over 10 pounds during the first two weeks without starving or fasting!. If you're looking for a professional environment, caring practitioners and treatment plans that actually make a difference, I would highly recommend Esprit Wellness!

Immediate Relief from Lower Back Pain Esprit Wellness provides an excellent service. I have worked with chiropractors in the past, so I do have a point of reference. I highly recommend Dr. Sid. After my first day of working with him I had immediate relief from my lower back pain. (I was really surprised by how quickly I saw results.) Three treatments later I was free of pain and able to work and enjoy life again. Dr. Sid is personable, knowledgeable and sincere in his practice. Esprit Wellness is a well-run business with a helpful staff that has great energy.

The environment is professional and comfortable. They respect your time and care about your wellbeing. The atmosphere is very healing and relaxing (when you wait for the therapist you sit in an amazing message chair). The whole experience is definitely a pleasure. I feel fortunate that I found Dr. Sid's practice. I look forward to every visit.
