Low back that locked up
Lifted something, slept wrong, or it just seized on the LIRR platform. The most common first visit here.

The chiropractor under 657 Central Ave
Backs, necks and sciatica in the Five Towns, handled by the same doctor at the same table since 2002. Walk down the stairs, get looked at properly, leave with a plan you can read.

Reasons people call
What usually walks down our steps
Most of the Five Towns comes in for one of six things. If yours is not on this list, call anyway — a two-minute phone answer beats guessing.
Sciatica down the leg
Burning, numbness or pins and needles past the knee. We check the disc and the nerve before we touch anything.
Neck, jaw and headaches
Desk necks, phone necks, clenching at night. Often the fastest thing to change in a couple of visits.
After a car accident
Whiplash on the Rockaway Turnpike is a weekly conversation. No-fault paperwork is filled out here, not mailed to you.
Pregnancy and growing kids
Pelvis and low-back care through pregnancy, plus posture and backpack checks once school starts.
Older backs, gentler hands
Thin bones, replacements, nervous first-timers. Low-force tools exist for exactly this and we use them.
How it goes
Three visits to know if we can help you
No twelve-month contract on the first handshake. Three visits is enough for both of us to see whether this office is the right room for your problem.
Sit down and get examined
History, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a straight answer about whether imaging is needed before anything else happens.
Get the plan on paper
Which technique, how many visits, roughly what it costs. You leave holding it, so nobody has to remember what was promised.
Recheck before you commit
At visit three we re-measure. Better means we keep going, unchanged means we adjust the plan or send you to the right specialist.

Four ways this office adjusts
One spine, four different hands. The technique is chosen for your bones and your nerves, not because it is the only one we own.
on
Diversified adjustment
The classic hands-on adjustment most people picture. Quick, specific, and the everyday visit for healthy joints.
force
Drop-table and instrument work
No twisting, no cracking sound. A weighted table section or a hand instrument does the work — built for seniors and first-timers.
press
Traction for disc pain
Slow mechanical traction that takes pressure off an irritated disc, used alongside adjustments when the leg is involved.
tissue
Muscle work and home drills
Trigger-point and stretching work on the muscles that keep pulling the joint back out, plus two or three drills to do at home.
The office
Timothy Haas has kept this desk since 2002
“People here do not want a program. They want to know what is wrong, how long it takes, and whether they can pick up their kid on Sunday.”
Haas Chiropractic opened in the lower level on Central Avenue and never moved. Timothy Haas sees every patient personally — there is no rotating associate list, and the person who examines you on Monday is the person adjusting you on Thursday.
