I have been going to chiropractors for almost forty years. I have seen many amazing doctors in cities from NYC to SF. Dr. Russell Charno is by far, the best chiropractor I have every been to. He spends a lot of time with you in the sessions, he has tremendous knowledge (from bones and muscles, to fitness and wellness), he has a calm and soothing demeanor, he genuinely cares about you and your well-being, and most of all one has the utmost trust in him to do things like adjust your neck. As a Functional Chiropractor he brings so much more to the table than one will often get at your average chiropractor

After deciding to have total knee replacement this Spring, I heard that Dr. Charno was starting an on-line strength training class. I had read somewhere that strengthening the leg muscles helps one recover from joint replacement quicker. I joined his class and for six weeks leading to my surgery, I attended his class on-line twice weekly. I am certain that my work with Dr. Charno allowed me to recover more quickly with the capacity and flexibility to return to activities of daily living 2 weeks after surgery. At 3 weeks, I returned to his class and he adapted exercises for my stage of recovery

Dr. Charno has literally gotten me through months of quarantine. His online strength training classes have me stronger and healthier than I was six months ago. When it became possible, I began seeing him in his office and found a comprehensive and holistic approach to chiropractic. His treatment is state of the art and includes specific exercises to reinforce the adjustment. He always follows up with online exercise reminder videos. Bottom line is that Dr. Charno is a caring, effective, healer.

Dr. Charno is hands down the best chiropractor Ive been to. He genuinely cares about his patients and takes extra time to ask questions, understand pain, and develop action plans to relieve symptoms. Hes open minded and looks at issues from all angles, performing informed adjustments and following up with workouts and stretches to reinforce them. He is personable, caring, and an all-around wonderful doctor. I would recommend him to anyone!
