“Absolutely amazing! I am so happy I found Dr Tiffani she was amazing she listened to my concerns and address them all. I have never received such amazing and quality care. I would recommend her 100% you don’t find many doctors who actually listen and communicate with you. The acupuncturist was amazing as well and really helped me.”

About Dr. Aruni Tiffany Gunawardena
Dr. Tiffany Gunawardena is licensed by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and by the State of New York Board of Chiropractic Examiners. Dr. Gunawardena is passionate about rehabilitation, corrective exercises and functional taping for musculoskeletal injuries. This interest has inspired her to become certified in: Functional Range Conditioning (FRCms), Active Release Technique (ART), Graston (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), Rock Tape, Whole Food Nutrition and Sport Science and Human Performance. These techniques aim to treat the soft tissues of the body (muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves) with the intent of improving mobility and functionality. Dr. Gunawardena has also conducted biomechanics research and presented at the New York Chiropractic Annual Research Symposium in which she demonstrated her research findings on the effects of orthotics during the stance phase of gait.
A graduate of Temple University, where she earned her B.S. in Biology and M.S. in Biotechnology, Dr. Gunawardena worked in the Orthopedic Research Department at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where her research focused on the pathogenesis and treatment of various musculoskeletal diseases such as Osteoarthritis and Hereditary Multiple Exostosis. After completing her masters, she accepted a scientist position with Janssen Pharmaceutica, but soon realized that the solitary atmosphere of a scientist did not allow her to reach her full potential. After experiencing personal relief from chronic headaches as a direct result of chiropractic care, she decided this was a way she could fulfill her desire to help people and she went on to receive her Doctor of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College.

The attention from all the staff was amazing. The doctor explained everything to me and was very friendly and helpful—overall a great experience. I'm coming back for a second appointment with her.
June 28, 2021Helena P.Verified patient
Dr. Tiffany was amazing. She is incredibly knowledgable and great at explaining what she think is going on in a way you can understand. She is light hearted and funny and makes you feel incredibly comfortable. I had never gone to a chiropractor before and ended up seeing her through the recommendation of a friend after I messed up my back. I'm so happy I found her, I'll never see anyone else in the city.

April 5, 2021Sebastien H.Verified patient
Dr Gunawardena is extremely kind and helpful. She takes her time to thoroughly explaining things and is open to answer all questions. The folks at the front desk are also kind and very helpful.
I am definitely glad I found her.
March 17, 2021Alain H.Verified patient
She is thorough to ask all questions about your medical history, very friendly demeanor that isn't pretentious as some doctors can be. She was personable and explained what she was doing and why. Even when I was being assessed or realigned she explained possible causes and how to help maintain the work she had done by following stretches and suggestions to better my work from home space.
December 22, 2020Kai R.Verified patient
Great office with attentive staff. Dr. Tiffany was efficient and kind, and helped me with immediate issues (I started seeing her twice a week for longer-term issues!). Highly recommend.

I always feel better after leaving a session with Dr. Tiffany. My upper back pain has improved significantly because of her. She is professional, kind and very knowledgeable. She takes the time to explain her procedure and treatments in detail. She truly cares for your overall well-being. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Gunawardena is an exceptional chiropractor. It was clear from the start of my visit that she is an expert in sports injuries and rehabilitation. I injured my lower back pretty badly while on a snowboarding trip, just before the lock-downs and quarantines hit NYC. I was in a lot of pain for the past few months while waiting for in-person doctor visits to be safe again (I have asthma and was being extra careful, some back pain is better to deal with than possibly catching COVID). Even after this one visit, my lower back is feeling much better. She even recommended some at-home routines that I can do to alleviate my pain further. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Gunawardena for any back-sports-related injuries and will definitely be coming back to her for a follow-up.
August 25, 2020Migara H.Verified patient
I have been working remotely from home since mid-March because of the current Covid-19 situation.  Due to a lifetime of terrible posture, I recently began to notice some lower back pain.  I decided it was time to see a chiropractor for the first time and ended up visiting Dr. Tiffany.  Dr. Tiffany explained why a proper work from home setup was essential and gave me easy tips to help reduce the pain in the future.  The first visit was informative and stress free.  I felt better as soon as I walked out of the office. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Tiffany as she was very professional and easy going. Â

Dr G is great, she takes time to explain what she is doing in detail, I never felt rushed. And I believe we are focused on the actual source of my problem, rather than just a cookie cutter approach. We do alot of manual work each visit which i think really helps with the long term muscle issues I have in my neck and shoulder. Will definitely be returning for more, the treatments have been super helpful.

Dr. Tiffany is a very dedicated, thoughtful and responsive physian. I came into the office with lower back & foot issues post - surgery. I'm certain that the progress I've made has been in large measure due to these qualities in her. Her extensive rehab program and hands on techniques are the reason I'm walking pain free!

Dr. Tiffany was right on time and extremely pleasant. I initially sought her out for treatment because my low back pain had severely increased since working from home. She was very thorough with her examinations and took the time to explain my issues to me. I have noticed decreased pain since my first visit! I will definitely recommend seeing her. Love you, sister! Thanks again.

I had very bad knee pain and came to see Dr. Tiffany, which did wonders. I gained mobility & strength in my knee fast. Dr. Tiffany is young but she certainly knows what shes doing. She is warm, energetic, sweet and dy experienced. I also struggled with a bakers cyst in my knee but after today's appointment, something clicked in my knee and now I'm fine! Do come through!
