“Dr. Sam is the best! He’s a great communicator and clearly has my best interest in mind! The office is incredibly clean and wait time has been minimal each time I’ve visited. Dr. Sam is knowledgeable, patient, and consistently takes the time to make sure I understand terms related to my diagnosis. His office being open on Sunday saved me and allowed me to get treatment before going away on a work trip! I highly recommend!”

About Dr. Samuel Lobell
Please note: we accept most PPO insurance plans. For the plans we do not accept we can still provide a superbill so patients can submit directly for reimbursement on their own.
Dr. Sam Lobell is a Long Beach, NY native and New York City based chiropractor who treats patients with neuromusculoskeletal and soft tissue disorders. He graduated Queens College, CUNY with high honors and went on to work in Manhattan and then overseas before returning to NYC and attending Touro College to further his studies in the sciences. He ultimately attended and graduated from New York Chiropractic College where he was inducted into the Chiropractic Honor Society.
Dr. Lobell worked alongside a chiropractic neurologist during an honors internship in Lindenhurst, NY, and at the V.A. in Bath, NY, where he gained experience treating patients with a wide range of conditions. He furthered his education by completing various courses enabling him to provide the best possible care to his patients. He is certified in Graston Technique, ConnecTX, FMT Performance and RockTape. Dr. Lobell uses various modalities in treating his patients such as diversified hands on adjustments, Cox Flexion/Distraction, trigger point therapy, and SOT blocks.
When away from the office he loves taking his dogs to the beach, cycling the boardwalk, and checking out the NYC music scene. His passion and interest in chiropractic started from a young age after he was treated by one of the local Long Beach, NY chiropractors and he hopes he can instill that same appreciation of the chiropractic art into his patients by helping them achieve pain free and healthy lives.

Dr Lobell is a skilled chiropractor. I’ve been seeing him for several weeks for a pinched nerve in my neck and associated shoulder pain. I have felt incrementally better with each visit. He uses a variety of techiques from massage therapy, PT, electric stun, etc. He’s really easy-going and has excellent bedside manners. Scheduling appointments are very straightforward.
July 31, 2024Amy TVerified patient
A really pleasant experience. It's an intimate office, and the actual doctor is the one to receive and service. Sadly, contrary to Zodoc's information, he is not in network for my insurance, but he does have out of network benefits, thankfully.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Lobell for a back problem for the past two weeks and have had an excellent experience overall. I have seen noticeable improvement over the last two sessions, and Dr. Lobell has been super helpful answering questions I have about the injury/treatment. There was no wait time, and received helpful exercises to do on my own time. Highly recommend!

I recently visited Dr. Lobell for persistent leg pain, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He thoroughly assed my condition and his treatment plan made a difference. After a few sessions I experienced significant relief from my leg pain. I highly recommend Dr. Lobell to anyone seeking effective pain relief and attentive care.

Dr. Lobell is a great chiropractor - highly recommend! On time, great communication and range of skills! Was able to identify my issues (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, posture) and am already finding relief after only a couple of sessions. Dr. Lobell goes above and beyond and truly cares.

I’ve seen Dr Lobell for a few weeks and I appreciate what he does so much. My back feels open, neck lighter, and feet grounded. He also listens well and remember well for the next session.
July 16, 2023Kei T.Verified patient
This was the best chiropractic treatment ever. It's hard to find a chiropractor that treats elbow pain. Dr. Lobell had same-day appointments with minimal wait time. He educated me about why I may have nerve pain and corrected my posture when working at a desk. I left the office feeling better with exercises and skills to prevent future issues.

I have been seeing chiropractors for 15 years and dr. Sam is GEM out of all I know here is why!
1. When dr Sam exam you he will look for deepest problem that causing it. I have never seen other chiropractors ever done.
2. It’s not crack and go every visit it’s all soft tissue work rehab workouts what is the best solution what is the best time just for you. Within the few visits you’ll see huge difference on your body.
3. His adjustments is not blindly cracking the hell out of you but rather carefully whatever needs to be done he’ll get 10 out of 10.
4. Rehab workout’s carefully chosen and performed for you and you’ll do it with him, you’ll be surprised how hard is simple movements and how much makes you feel better.
5, overall I have been feeling good ever since I’ve been treated by dr.Sam and recommending anyone needs genuinely the best chiropractor in New York City.

I can't express enough gratitude for the outstanding care I received from Dr. Sam. As someone who spends long hours at my computer, I was suffering from persistent neck pain that was interfering with my daily life. However, after just a few sessions with Dr. Sam, my pain diminished significantly. His expertise in addressing the specific issues caused by my posture and computer use was remarkable. With his gentle adjustments and personalized guidance, I now enjoy pain-free days and can work comfortably for extended periods. Dr. Sam truly has a gift for healing, and I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking relief from computer-related discomfort.

Dr. Sam made this whole experience from start to finish a pleasure. He is a very knowledgeable doctor with terrific social skills. I visited him with a lower back pain and 2 months later a new person, no pain and most importantly ample knowledge on good posture, good sleep etc... Thank You!

Dr. Sam knows how to strike the right balance between easygoing and serious. Used up-to-date technology when performing adjustments and provided extensive training on proper form when doing movement exercises.
Would highly recommend to friends.

I really can't believe how different I feel after just a couple of weeks of working with Dr. Sam. I came in with a bad muscle spasm between my neck and shoulder and I'm doing the 3-month program to recover. I've started running again and I already can feel that my hips are more stable as I run, and my back/shoulders/neck feel way less locked up. I thought for years that I had developed asthma because I would immediately have shortness of breath when running, but it was just my form. The adjustments have made my breathing smoother and running feels so much easier now. I think they've even helped me with my anxiety and feeling less stressed. I'm really excited to see how I feel by the end of the program. Dr. Sam is the best, would recommend him to anyone!

I'm part way through a three-month rehabilitation process for a disc injury and I truly cannot recommend Dr. Sam enough. During those first few weeks as I navigated a fog of pain and anxiety, he was compassionate, available, trustworthy and so so patient. He's incredibly skilled and takes such care - as the weeks have progressed, my pain has receded steadily (my stress as well). I truly believe I'm on a path toward a stronger, healthier spine than before my injury.
Also - I so appreciate the way Dr. Sam explains the anatomy and mechanics of my spine to me - I'm learning so much, and the more I learn, the better I'm able to support my body as it heals itself. I have a new appreciation for the power of my own body to heal, and so grateful for Dr. Sam as my coach/mechanic/cheerleader.

Plainly put - Dr. Sam is the best. He clearly cares about your outcome and wellbeing and will take extra time with you when needed. I never felt rushed or just like a number. His adjustment technique and movement training sessions will leave you in top-top shape. I have seen massive improvement in my posture and tightness in my mid- and upper-back. I highly recommend!

Dr. Sam Lobell was very knowledgeable! He is very warm friendly and was able to easily explain everything to me! I felt so much better after leaving the appt and look forward to my follow up treatment sessions with him!

Dr. Sam is the best. I had been dealing with back pain on and off for a couple of years and it was starting to get progressively worse. I saw a bunch of other chiropractors over that time. Meeting with Dr. Sam was the first time I was able to get a proper diagnosis on what was going on. I had a herniated disc. He was able to explain everything and prescribe a plan for treatment. Brilliant guy, funny and passionate about what he does. Highly recommend!

Dr Sam is amazing! I had a lot of pain in my shoulder, he took his time to diagnose me and each session he goes above and beyond to help and I got better each week. This team at body in balance is very special. Fortunate to be under his care.

Dr. Sam is nothing short of amazing! Hes strong yet gentle to treat any misalignment in your body, and teaches you how to stay aligned and maintain balance from within. In less than a month of working with him, he was able to get my body back into moving flexibly, smoothly, and energetically. I absolutley love how he handles all of my concerns and physical pain, even surprising me with other sorts of concerns I was not aware of in my body that was treatable in just one session! I highly recoomend Dr. Sam to anyone who wants a deeper awareness of their body’s alignment, and how they can gain access to living a pain free life with rehabiliation exercises and great, thorough treatments. Dr. Sam is a genius!
