Hello to all. My name is DR. DAVID ROSENTHAL and I am a Chiropractor in New York City. I am extremely excited to be a contributor to The Winger. I have been practicing for 10 years and have been treating dancers for years. I treat performers from many Broadway shows such as “Chicago”, “Grease”, and “A Chorus Line”. I have also treated dancers from schools such as Alvin Ailey and the New Dance Group.

As dancers, you are some of the most agile athletes in the world. The daily grind of jumping, twisting and turning takes a serious toll on your body. My goal is to give you information about different conditions that can affect your body. For example, I have experienced that knee pain does not necessarily mean you have a “knee problem”. Many times the pain can be referred from muscular dysfunction in the hip or thigh. I want to increase your “body awareness”. I want you to be able to identify a problem and know when treatment is necessary. With this information, you will have healthier dance lives and longer careers.

A Short Bio

I graduated from New York Chiropractic College in 1997. I was the first Chiropractor to be part of the Kennedy Medical Office in JFK airport. I currently serve as the Director of Rehabilitation for the facility. I oversee the Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and Neurology Departments.

My private practice in New York City is located at 317 West 54Th street. Our practice deals with many sports related/dance injuries.
I have continuing education in various soft tissue techniques. I am a certified Active Release Practitioner.

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

I look forward to being part of your community.
I can always be reached in my office at 212-713-0180.
