Dr. Charles V. Nicolai, Chiropractor

My first time experiencing a chiropractic adjustment. My friend recommended me for Dr. Charles. And he helped me relieve my back and neck pain. It’s feel so light after all the pops! Like champagne! Check this office out!

Dr. Nicolai is truly a gift from God.....He is so professional and knowledgeable....After experiencing pain for many years in my lower back which became even worse a year ago, (I started limping when I got out of bed and when I was sitting at my desk for long periods of time.) I was literally in tears at times out of frustration... went down every avenue I could think of for relief....even an orthopedist who advised me that surgery was my only other alternative.....In trying to avoid surgery, I started to do my research.....Decompressing the spine sounded like it could help me but I was never able to find the right doctor to treat me in the Hudson Valley area and being that I do not like to travel far, especially to the city, my options were limited until God answered my prayers.....I came across a Wall Street chiropractor , namely Dr. Nicolai, who to my luck was opening another location in Cold Spring, NY.... 30 minutes from me!!! I felt like I struck gold. LOL Dr. Nicolai is all around fabulous! He knew exactly where my problem area was and what to do for it...He is so easy to talk to. Very soft-spoken and gives you a visual of everything he is explaining to you which helps me a lot. After my consultation, Doc put me on a rolling massage table which loosened me up before his treatment. When I got up from the table, I could not believe how I felt... I always felt like I had a knot on my right side which made it difficult for me to walk without pain. After my treatment, I felt pain-free for the first time in a very long time. I didn’t realize how this pain was for affecting all areas of my life because now I feel so good. He has given me exercises to strengthen my body as well as advice to stay healthy. At my third session, he could not believe my improvement. I was ahead of schedule and he was able to focus on other areas, which were stress related. Dr. Nicolai is genuinely concerned about his patients well-being and I can’t speak highly enough about him. Thank you so much Dr. and I look forward to my next treatment session with you.....The people in the Hudson Valley area are very fortunate to have you! I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me already. See you soon!

Dr Nicolai is a great chiropractor. My kids every time they feel a little pain they call Dr Nicolai. Beside that he’s a great person and has a great personality. Thank you Dr Nicolai for all you do for us. I highly recommend his services.

Our family of 7 is active, ages 45 down to 6. I trust Dr. Nicolai to keep my husband and I pain free. My children get posture check ups and he has helped us with the sprains and strains of sports injuries. Excellent, gentle, 5 star Cold Spring chiropractor!

Dr. Nicolai is an exceptional chiropractor and a lucky addition to the healing community for the Hudson Valley area. He is sensitive and attentive to the needs of patients.

Before the actual adjustment patients will use either the traction table, physical therapy stretches, or electro-stim TENS machine to bring information to the pain area and allow for relaxation of the muscles before the adjustment of the bones. Dr. Nicolai checks on you during the warm up and will change the settings for comfort.

My pain problem involves needing my neck cracked and that takes a lot of trust. Dr. Nicolai is very gentle and never forces anything. Sometimes he has to play the kid photographer and says things like "think about your right knee" just as he cracks my neck which is really helpful in relaxing for me.

I've always left his office leaving better than when I arrived and happily recommend him to friends and the community at large for muso-skeletal pain management.
