Saved From Surgery! My first time going to see Dr. Frank Valente was in 2001, I had a bad wrist injury with a torn ligament and a turned lunate. Other dotors, top of their profession, told me I would never gain the full range of motion and would never return to my original self. Dr. Frank was able to save me from surgery and get me ready for the New York Knicks camp that summer. I continue to see Dr. Frank for all my injuries and I have even started to bring my family and friends to see him. Thank you Dr. Frank for making me a better athlete. -Tim "Headache"Gittens, Streeetball & Basketball
10 Years of Back Pain Relieved in Months!
"I had chronic back pain for over 10 years which hindered my lifestyle, both professionally and personally. I tried pain management doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists, etc, but none produced the results I've realized by Elite Health and Sport Chiropractic. 10 Years of back pain was alleviated in a matter of months. Chiropractic care relieved the tightness and chronic lower back pain and hip pain I had been experiencing. But I've learned Chiropractic treatment is more than just back care; I am now able to perform more of my hobbies, feel more emotionally balanced, experienced increased flexibility and a better quality of sleep. I'm glad I chose Elite Health and Sport Chiropractic because I didn't feel like just a 'number'. They were very involved in one on one, and Dr. Szymanski knew my problem after just one week of care. I would recommend Dr. Szymanski and Elite Health to someone looking for chiropractic care because the Doctor was highly knowledgeable, attentive, and willing to accommodate my schedule."

I am VERY picky about chiropractors! and have tried several in the city and have not been satisfied. I grew up with one of the best sports chiropractors in Miami and in my 5 years in the city, I have struggled to find a chiro as good. Dr. Valente knows his stuff! He is thorough and extremely helpful. I am a former gymnast, college cheerleader and currently still do adult gymnastics and run a lot - Dr. Valente was helpful on all accounts in terms of injuries and pains that accompany these sports. He stays up to date on the research and new information that is out there and you feel like you are completely taken care of every time you go! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Nicole F.
It Works!
"I started seeing Dr. Szymanski about six weeks ago for the lower back pain I was experiencing. At the time, I had difficulty sitting at my desk and was unable to go to the gym. Dr. Szymanski has relieved my pain 100%. Chiropractic care has increased my work abilities, made family time more enjoyable, increased flexibility, and has given me a better quality of sleep. Being "in balance" makes a big difference. I'm glad I chose Elite Health and Sports Chiropractic because the Doctor takes his time with you and listens to what is bothering you. There was always friendly care, and on-time appointments which was also important to me. I would recommend Dr. Szymanski and chiropractic care because it works!"

The Best in the Business! Coming from a bad back injury with limited range of motion to playing 2 seasons with the Gotham Girls Roll Derby league, I owe everything to Dr. Valente. He has kept me pain free and out of surgery for years. Dr. Valente is always learning the latest techniques and treatments which keeps him at the top of his industry. There are days that I am not able to walk very well or even get up out of bed from the pain and immobility. He always saves me. I am also a personal trainer in NYC and because of him I am able to hit the weights as hard as I want to and train my clients with no physical restrictions.

Suffering from lower back pain!I originally sought chiropractic care because I was suffering from lower back pain. The pain had affected my normal exercise routine of running three days a week. Chiropractic care helped me by providing me with stretching exercises, regular follow-up visits for maintained care and Orthotics for my running shoes. It made a huge difference. I also experienced more energy, increased productivity, felt more motivated, and increased flexibility through my treatments. I'm glad I chose Elite Health and Sports Chiropractic because of the friendly environment. Additionally, Dr. Valente gave me great advice. Nina L.
Running Pain diminished.
I went to Elite Health for relief from a painful injury. I am a cyclist, runner and pilates instructor. I went to Elite Health and found relief from a combination of chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture. The acupuncture treatment was especially effective in combination with the other treatments. The acupuncture released the muscle spasms and was a very relaxing treatment.

Athletic Care!I am a fifteen year old Rhythmic Gymnast. Dr. Valente has been treating me for 3 years. Some of my injuries related to my sport have been; tendonitis, back pain, muscle strains, and overuse injuries.Aside from getting me back in the gym, he explains the origins of my injury and gives me exercises so that the injury occurs less frequently. I am very happy with the care that I receive from Dr. Valente and I would recommend him to other young athletes like myself. Eberlee Santander, Rhythmic Gymnast
Now I Can Do Everyday Activities Pain Free!
"I originally started chiropractic care for lower back pain that made it difficult to do just about everything, including walking running lateral movement and bending. Chiropractic care at Elite Health and Sports Chiropractic loosened up the pain in the back so I could do everyday activities pain free. I also experienced more energy, increased productivity, I feel more motivate, have improved concentration, I feel more relaxed, It has helped me perform hobbies, increased flexibility and I even feel I am sleeping better at night. The staff at Elite Health and Sports Chiropractic was very patient oriented and focused on one-on-one care to get you pain-free. They also educated me about the benefits of chiropractic care and how all of the muscles in the back are attached to the leg and taught me stretches and exercise to help support and enhance strength in the lower back. I would highly recommend Elite Health and Sports Chiropractic because of their one-on-one patient focus and ability to educate patients on their problems and on ways to prevent further issues."

My Marathon Training Improved!
"I was training for a marathon and was having foot, knee, and back pain for about 3 weeks. The doctors here help with proper running sneakers and how to pick the right one for my foot type. They help improve my training. I can't thank them enough!"

Very thorough, individualized patient care!
"Dr. Szymanski is a wealth of knowledge and expertise in his field. I don't know what I would have done without him helping me. I have chronic back pain, each and every time I have seen Dr. Szymanski he has taken the time to understand everything that is bothering me before he decides on treatment. This type of patient care is a dying art. I had no idea that when Dr. Szymanski started adjusting me for back trouble, that my headaches would magically go away. I live in Connecticut and plan special trips to the city to be seen by him; it is WELL worth the trip."

Care that leaves you Physically and Emotionally better!
"I chose to go to a chiropractor not only for occasional back pain but also for the support it gives for my general state of health. I have been going to Dr. Valente for about 6 months now, an incredibly challenging 6 months - health wise, and without fail, no matter how awful I may feel when I show up at Elite Health & Sports Chiropractic, I leave feeling not only physically better but emotionally uplifted. Those of you who appreciate the intimate connection between health and emotions realize what a blessing this is. Dr. Valente is a true healer. Not only is he very skilled at the techniques of chiropractic and knowledgeable in nutritional wisdom, but he also have a heart of gold, an extremely warm, caring and generous nature which for me is the mark of a true healer. He listens in a way that is completely present and focused, making you feel that you are completely appreciated and important to him. I urge you to avail yourself of this splendid health resource!"

Focused Care!
Very one-on-one focused care to get you healthy and pain-free. Prior to my visits, I had difficulty doing just about everything: walking, running, lateral movement, bending, etc. The doctors at Elite Health educate patients on their issues/problems and the ways in which to prevent them.
