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.

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 is nothing short of amazing! Before finding him through endless searching online, my son J was scheduled for scoliosis surgery at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia which usually ranks #1 in the country.We had several appointments within the Orthopaedics department at CHOP. Appointments at CHOP can take months and while waiting to see every Ortho specialist suggested, Js curve progressed into the surgical range. Once in the surgical range the hard bracing that was previously discussed was no longer an option. I felt bullied into scheduling the surgery because the doctors and nurses insisted it was the only way.The surgery didnt sit well with me because my son is already a special needs kid. Though the risk of paralysis is small, it still kept me up at night. As the daughter of parents who believe in alternative medicine, I started looking for options. I searched to discover there were plenty of choices; I just had to find the right one for us. I had several consults with other offices but when I found Dr. Sid and read testimonials and cases similar to ours, I was sold. Seeing the proof of his methods through before and after x-rays was incredibly encouraging.After the virtual consult I exhaled a sigh of relief. I was confident I found the right doctor for J. Dr. Sid understood all of my frustrations with CHOP. He provided detailed answers to every question and was void of the arrogance that many doctors possess. He also assured me of the Covid safety standards and procedures at Esprit Wellness. Needless to say I canceled the surgery.We traveled from California and after two weeks of boot camp in NYC, Js curve decreased 12 degrees and was no longer in the surgical range. Dr. Sid is a miracle worker and for a fraction of the cost of surgery. Its undoubtedly the best money weve ever spent.While there is work to do at home after boot camp, it is all well worth it. Of all the doctors my son has seen in his life, NO ONE has ever reached out the way Dr. Sid does to check on his progress. When we were late to our follow-up for a combination of reasons, he called, emailed and texted consistently to make sure we made it back. Theres NEVER been a doctor who shows concern like Dr. Sid and I cant thank him enough. My experience with Esprit Wellness continues to be exceptional and I highly recommend Dr. Sid to anyone with scoliosis.

My son was diagnosed with Scoliosis in January 2017 and was told he would need surgery. Not knowing what Scoliosis was, I started searching the internet and reaching out to others who were similarly affected. In my search, I learned of Dr. Siddiqui of Esprit Wellness and ScoliSmart Clinics. After seeing the results of a child who attended the ScoliSmart 10-day boot camp I visited his website and sent him my sons information and x-ray. We received a response within a few hours and a Skype call was scheduled. The words that stood out to me was when Dr. Sid said: I can help your son. Being from the island of Barbados Dr. Sid as he is affectionately known and his team was helping us long before we got to his New York clinic with the necessary documents required to travel to the US.When we arrived at the clinic, although it was freezing, we were met with amazing warmth. My son was quickly into his therapy routine. He attended the clinic for 5 hours a day for the 10 day period. At the end of his first day, I noticed he was already looking better and he was no longer complaining as he was prior to arriving at Esprit Wellness/ScoliSmart Clinic. On the 3rd day of therapy, when Dr. Sid showed me the X-rays, I was determined to take him back to Barbados with me, as we have no other outlet but surgery with an extensive wait list. He agreed to come and we held an amazing seminar.Dr. Sid is very professional, knowledgeable and amazingly great with the children. Dr. Sid and his team have not only help my son but he is also helping many others from my country and for that, we are eternally grateful.If you are affected by Scoliosis I highly recommend giving Dr. Sid an opportunity to Fix that Spine.

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!

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 daughters 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 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.

My daughters have seen both short and long term benefits of the Scolismart program. Dr. Sid is a caring and dedicated professional applying creative and effective treatment solutions to kids with scoliosis. He also collaborates with the orthopedic surgeon community which makes for a comprehensive understanding of all and appropriate treatment options. I love the program. Highly recommend it.

We brought our daughter- 15 yrs in August 2013 for a two week boot camp for scoliosis. It was our last hope as the orthopedic doctors in our country suggested surgery as the best option. The treatment was personalized for our daughter and the result we got was very good- scoliosis reduced from 57 deg to almost 44 deg.Dr Sid is a highly professional doctor, extremely positive, smart and cooperative; you can discuss extensively your issues and fears making you feel comfortable and give you answers without over-promising. The whole team is great, cooperative and attentive; the atmosphere is cool, the kids or teens are kept busy during their treatment with the i-pads connected everywhere in the clinic and the location is great, in the heart of Manhattan.Scoliosis treatment is a long journey; we try to come back to the clinic often for a week boot camp, as we live far from NY, to further reduce and stabilize the curve. Every time we re-visit the clinic, Dr Sid revises the treatment plan, in a strictly individualized way according to the patient response.We feel that we have taken the best decision for the scoliosis treatment of our daughter and surgery is not anymore in our future plans!We highly recommend Dr Sid, and his team.Esperia T.

I am an active mature woman suffering from lumbar scoliosis with over 50 degree curvature. The pain and limitations were severely affecting my ability to remain active, happy and practicing as an attorney. I live and work in Dubai, UAE. I had read about the CLEAR method last year and attended a 2 week intensive Boot Camp with another practitioner last year. I found it very helpful. This year, I planned to be in NY and inquired about Dr Sids intensive CLEAR method program for scoliosis.In addition to providing me with thorough and helpful information, his staff went above and beyond to assist me since I was coming in from overseas. All of the staff were very special people and before ever meeting them, I had built a relationship with those with whom I had been in contact, This gave me a great feeling of confidence before arrival. Upon meeting Dr Sid and his staff the professionalism only continued exponentially. As I had attended a CLEAR method Boot Camp the year before, I was somewhat familiar with the regime, but Dr Sid experimented with me to find a more suitable exercise program that lessened the intensity of my sciatic pain while working with the weights to build muscle strength around the spine. This is a key component to maintaining spinal correction. He would not give up till he found a method that was most helpful and suitable given my particular factors. Most appreciated! Dr Sids experience, skill level and knowledge were highly impressive. His no-nonsense yet empathetic approach was refreshing and reassuring. The 6 hours per day seemed to fly by and I could feel my improvement quite quickly. What I also really appreciated was that Dr Sids facility was very modern and up-to-date, for example, with digital x-rays and even providing I-Pads during treatment. He did not overload patient intake so we all got the attention and care we needed. I also appreciated seeing his interaction with other patients in the Boot Camp - most of whom were young teens. His rapport and demeanor with them were clearly very special.I had my sincere doubts about the CLEAR method when I had initially read about it in 2012, but I have found it very helpful and hope the method will continue to work for me in future. Its hard work and requires discipline -- it is not a quick fix -- but it is absolutely worth all the time & effort. I look forward to working with Dr Sid and his staff again. I just wish they had a satellite in Dubai :)

I am a 43 year old who has been dealing with Scoliosis since age 10. In May 2013, I went to Dr. Sid to participate in the 2 week Scoliosis Boot Camp to improve my quality of life and hopefully improve my thoracic curve. When I was initially diagnosed at age 10, I was told wait and see. When my curve worsened, I was a test subject for the unsuccessful Scolitron. Finally, I was told my curve wouldnt worsen and there was nothing else I could do. Unfortunately, my curve has doubled in severity in 20 years. The day I started with Dr. Sid, my upper curve was 47 degrees and my lower was 34 degrees.With great anticipation I started working with Dr. Sid and his kind and helpful staff. At the end of one week of intensive work I could already feel an improvement in my back and hip pain.Even my posture had improved. I couldnt wait for the second week to end to hear my prognosis. I was not disappointed! I had improved 17 degrees in two weeks.Now 2 months out Im still getting comments from friends that I look taller and able to do more activities. I also went from taking Advil several times a week to three times in the last two months. I look forward to my next appointment in a couple of months for continued improvement. Im also hoping to bring one of my children to determine what kind of treatment she might need too, since she is also starting to show signs of scoliosis.

I am a fairly active person and when I first injured my shoulder I would rest for a week then try to get back into my normal routine but after a little bit of time I would have to rest again. I found Dr. Sid and within 2 months, I had full movement back in my shoulder. Yes I had to pay out of pocket for it but that is because of my health insurance, I did not have an A.R.T doctor in my plan and I knew that was what I needed. I feel it was well worth the time and cost. I would go back any time.

I first found Esprit Wellness when looking for alternative treatment for my teen sons 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 teens 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.

My son,at college in NYC, needed help with an acute low back condition. Being a doctor of chiropractic myself, I found Dr Sid online and called his office. Well Joseph was very impressed with Dr. Sid and the staff and already feels so much better after his exam and treatment. What more can you ask for.

Let me start off by saying Dr. Sid, Dr. Shannon and their staff are absolutely phenomenal! They have done more for my health and wellness than any previous doctor I’ve ever had.I came into their office suffering from chronic migraines, no curve in my neck, and scoliosis. I’ve been seeing them for about 8 months now and I’m feeling better then ever! My migraines rarely happen now & if they do they are not intense and do not last long. It’s taken a lot of work on both my end and their’s to have this success but it’s worth it.I will never go to another chiropractor or physical therapist because these two not only got to know all my health issues and ways to solve them but they also got to know me! Having doctors that know me and understand me makes visiting them so much more enjoyable.I’d HIGHLY recommend them to everyone I know.

I had never needed a chiropractor before, but after a (frightening) neck injury I was forced to ask for referrals and meet several. Once I met Dr. Sid, I knew I could stop looking. His approach to chiropractic care resonated with me.Rather than focusing on a specific type of treatment, Dr. Sid leverages a series of techniques and exercises to determine which course of treatment will work best for you and your body. He then creates a customized course of treatment, works with you to correct the issues at play, and minimize your chance of future injuries.I felt better almost immediately, due to both the treatment I received at Esprit Wellness, and the emotional relief of knowing that I was in good hands.Additionally - Esprit accepts insurance! The bulk of my treatment was covered.

We have been going to Dr. Sid since 2014. We initially did a 2week Scolismart boot camp. The program works and we will continue to work with Dr. Sid and his wonderful and competent staff. Dr. Sid is very sensitive to the needs of children with scoliosis. I highly recommend the Scolismart program.

Review №22

I absolutely loved working with Dr. Sid and his staff! They are all so amazing. I was there for two weeks for scolismart bootcamp. Im 31 years old and had an 84° curve in my thoracic spine. In two weeks I was at 71°! But even better than that is how i have felt since my bootcamp. Since Ive returned home Ive continued my exercises and my spine has held at 71°. Not only that i have my life back! I used to be at a constant level 8-10 pain for years. Taking care of my 4 kids, cleaning, doing anything really was almost impossible. The pain was too great. But now? Now i can clean my house, play with my kids, i picked back up most of my hobbies like refinishing furniture. The pain is mostly gone! I am a new person and I can never thank Dr sid enough! I want to go back and do another boot camp as soon as I can. Even though it was hard, it was more than worth it!

I went to Dr. Sid and his team with a constellation of neck, shoulder and back issues mainly from old sports injuries, that had defied the abilities of any prior chiropractor. Each prior doctor was able to fix at best one issue but the pain would always manifest in another area. With patience and careful diagnostic work Dr. Sid tackled the area of greatest pain first, while working on an overall plan to systematically dismantle the damage. With a combination of traditional chiropractic, scoliosis-oriented traction and vibration machinery to alleviate spinal compression and distortion, and active release therapy, I relatively quickly moved past the acute phase where I could barely move my neck without wincing. As Dr. Sid breaks down the scar tissue and I work on the home care regime he designed, we are working our way slowing into the heart of the older injuries. I have regained mobility in my shoulder not experienced in over 20 years. I have moved from chronic pain management strategies to actively alleviating pain while improving mobility and strengthening weak areas. Thanks Dr. Sid!

I went into Espirt with multiple herniated discs, awful posture, and a mentality that I would never be able to fully be myself athletically ever again. Four months later I could not be more confident in my lower back! Dr. Sid and Caesar are warm, welcoming, and see every single patient as a unique case. The treatment I have received has been specific to my needs and the results have been outstanding! I have had sub-par experiences with Chiro/PT clinics in NYC before, but Espirit truly was a game changer. I could not recommend Espirit Wellness more highly.
