“I was looking for answers and a solution and that’s what he provided. The Dr. clearly communicated my condition to me in a way that made sense while also explaining the treatment along the way.”

“If it weren’t likely sacrilegious to say I’d call Dr. Cheriyan a miracle worker. In addition to correcting the pressing problem that brought me there instantly, he fixed half a dozen chronic problems that I’ve had for a decade and had just resigned myself to dealing with as a part of getting older. I cannot possibly recommend him highly enough.”

I am Very happy that my co-worker recommended Dr.George Cheriyan, conveniently located on W.57th Street. The office is beautiful, and Dr. Cheriyan is compassionate and very skilled.
I initially went for knee pain and Dr. Cheriyan treated me from literally head to toe.
I am not sure I can put into words exactly what has been happening with my body, but EVERYTHING has been improving since I started seeing Dr. Cheriyan. I’ve been to Chiro, acupuncture, massage therapy, and PT but nothing seemed to completely make me feel better, until I tried Osteopathic treatments with Dr. Cheriyan.
I am lighter, definitely more pain free, and better-balanced right after and between treatments.
I think anyone with chronic pain should try Osteopathy!
Pain is less, tension is less, mobility has increased, I feel better.

This was my first experience with an Osteopathic doctor. I was not sure exactly what to expect, but Dr. Cheriyan was great and spent time listening to my concerns and investigating what the issue may be. I left my appointment feeling instantly lighter and excited to have a possible solution to pain I have been experiencing for months.

Very knowledgable, informative. Treatment gave me long sought pain relief for my lower back pain and pain between shoulder blades from long hours working at my computer. Highly recommended.

I found him because I was in a lot of pain and needed someone soon and close to where I live. As luck would have it, Dr. Cheriyan is amazing. Immediately I felt I was in good hands - and he helped me with issues I didn’t even know I had, as well as the one that I knew about. Highly recommended.

I initially went to see Dr. Cheriyan for a shoulder issue. I’d done something to my left shoulder and could barely lift my arm enough to wash my hair. Putting it in a ponytail was nearly impossible. My massage therapist sent me Dr. Cheriyan’s way, saying that rather than a muscle issue, he thought my shoulder was misaligned. Misaligned indeed. Dr. Cheriyan figured out what was wrong and shifted my shoulder back where it should be in a matter of minutes. It was like a miracle. While my arm felt a bit weak, I could move it all around and put my hand on my head with ease.
With that tackled, I pointed him toward all my other problem joints...my right shoulder, my knees, my left ankle, my right elbow, my right wrist, my neck, my back even my tight jaw! If it sounds like I was a mess, it’s because I was. The neck and knees were the longest-standing problems. I’ve had neck trouble for roughly thirty years after suffering a whiplash and herniated disks. I had been seeing a chiropractor off and on for back and neck trouble, but my neck always stiffened up after adjustments. Not so with Dr. Cheriyan. He gently moves my head and neck around with no quick movements, and no “popping” it into place. He just gently coaxes the bones back where they need to be. I also have Scoliosis and needed weekly chiropractic adjustments for that too, but with Dr. Cheriyan I noticed that sometimes treating everything else takes care of my back. That is, I don’t need my back adjusted as much anymore.
He’s worked wonders on every joint that was causing me trouble, including my knees, which had been bent and hurting for several years. I’d been through every kind of treatment one could think of for my knees, but just wasn’t improving. Dr. Cheriyan observed that the bones weren’t lined up properly. I can’t recall the specifics, but the bones below my knees were a bit twisted. Again, through movement and gentle coaxing, he was able to move them back to where they needed to be. My knees weren’t “cured” and back to normal, but the relief was immediate and the ease of movement I had afterward was surprising. I could go on and on about how my left ankle now has nearly full range of motion again, or how my right elbow is nearly back to its old self, yada, yada, but I think there’s a limit on the length of these things. :)
I’m not saying his treatments are a quick fix. Because I’ve had most of my issues for years--some decades--the muscles needed time and consistent reminders to adjust to the new alignments. I’m happy to say the reminders are working and the adjustments are sticking. I’m so happy that I finally found something that works.
If you have joint issues, back pain, or range of motion restrictions, I can’t recommend anyone better than Dr. Cheriyan to help sort things out. He is kind and gentle and sincerely wants to help.

I made an appointment with Dr. Cheriyan for problems with jaw clicking and neck tightness which he was able to treat by realigning everything but he was also able to quickly find out what other problems I was having in my back, hips, and ankles. They were probably the result of past injuries that I never truly healed from and in one visit he made a big difference and I sense an improvement in all the stiffness that I had dealt with for a long time.

As a surgeon who subspecializes in Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), I am very choosy about who does procedures for my family and me. After receiving my first treatment, I knew I could trust Dr. Cheriyan.
Dr. Cheriyan is technically quite skilled, safe and uses innovative and precise approaches to heal the body. He is sensitive to individualized physical, emotional and psychological needs and adapts his manual skillset to suit them.
He is friendly and articulate and genuinely cares not just about patients’ well-being but also about bettering his practice and his community. I have no doubt that as word gets out about New York Osteopathic Medicine, many more patients will benefit from the fine OMT Dr. Cheriyan provides.
