Why lower Manhattan families choose us
If you've searched for a Webster-certified chiropractor in lower Manhattan, you've probably noticed something frustrating: they're mostly all in Midtown — all 25 to 35 minutes away by subway, which feels a lot longer when you're in your third trimester.
Dr. Goodman is the only Webster-certified chiropractor practicing in lower Manhattan — meaning that if you live or work in the Financial District, Tribeca, or Battery Park City, he is your closest ICPA-certified prenatal specialist.
At Flow State Chiropractic, Dr. Daniel Goodman brings Webster Technique certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) together with a holistic approach to family wellness — all within walking distance of your home or office. Every visit is one-on-one with Dr. Goodman. No rotating staff. No rushed appointments. No insurance hoops to jump through.
What Is Webster-Certified Chiropractic Care?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment developed by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the ICPA. It focuses on restoring balance to the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding muscles and ligaments during pregnancy — using gentle, low-force methods that are safe in every trimester.
Not every chiropractor is Webster Certified. The ICPA certification requires dedicated training in prenatal anatomy, fetal positioning, and pregnancy-specific adjustment protocols. It is widely considered the gold standard of chiropractic care during pregnancy.

Webster-certified chiropractor in lower Manhattan — Dr. Daniel Goodman
The goal of the Webster Technique is not to 'turn' a baby — it is to optimize the biomechanics of the pelvis so that the uterus and surrounding tissues are free of unnecessary tension and restriction. When the pelvis is balanced, babies have more freedom to settle into the best position for birth naturally.
Conditions We Address During Pregnancy & Beyond
From the first trimester through postpartum recovery and pediatric care, Flow State supports your whole family.
Lower back pain & sciatica
The most common pregnancy complaint — often dramatically relieved with specific pelvic adjustments.
Round ligament & pelvic pain
Sharp, shooting pain during movement — a sign of pelvic imbalance that Webster Technique addresses directly.
Breech & optimal positioning
Webster Technique supports optimal fetal positioning by reducing tension in uterine ligaments and pelvic structures.
Headaches & neck pain
Hormonal shifts and postural changes during pregnancy can trigger persistent headaches — often resolved with upper cervical care.
Postpartum recovery
After delivery, the pelvis and spine need realignment and support as the body returns to its pre-pregnancy state.
Newborn & pediatric checks
Birth trauma can affect an infant's spine. Gentle post-birth assessments for your baby are available at the same practice.
The Flow State Difference
This Is Not A Factory -This Is Your Family Wellness
The large multi-provider clinics in lower Manhattan and Midtown see many patients per hour, cycle through rotating staff, and are driven by insurance billing codes. That model is not designed for the nuanced, trimester-by-trimester care a pregnancy requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy? A: Yes — when performed by a Webster-certified chiropractor trained in prenatal protocols. The Webster Technique specifically uses low-force, gentle adjustments designed to be safe throughout all three trimesters. Dr. Goodman uses no twisting, cracking, or high-velocity manipulation with pregnant patients.
Q: What is the Webster Technique and how does it help with breech babies? A: The Webster Technique is an ICPA-certified analysis and adjustment of the sacrum and pelvis. It does not manually turn a baby — instead, it reduces tension in the uterine ligaments and surrounding soft tissue, creating more space for the baby to move into an optimal position naturally.
Q: How far are you from the Financial District, Tribeca, and Battery Park City? A: Flow State Chiropractic is located in lower Manhattan, easily accessible to residents and workers in the Financial District, Tribeca, Battery Park City, the Seaport District, and surrounding neighborhoods. No need to travel to Midtown — we are your neighborhood prenatal chiropractor.
Q: When should I start prenatal chiropractic care? A: You can begin at any point in pregnancy — from preconception through the final weeks. Many patients find early first trimester care helps prevent the back pain and pelvic imbalance that often develops later. It is never too late to start, including in the third trimester.
Do you take insurance for prenatal chiropractic care? Flow State Chiropractic is cash-based and does not bill insurance directly. This allows Dr. Goodman to provide fully personalized care without restrictions from insurance companies dictating your treatment plan. Many patients use HSA/FSA accounts, and we provide documentation you can submit to your insurer for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Do you see newborns and children after birth? Yes. Dr. Goodman provides gentle newborn assessments and pediatric chiropractic care for infants and children. Birth can be physically demanding for babies as well as mothers, and early spinal assessment can help address issues like torticollis, difficulty nursing, or colic that may be related to birth trauma.
