About Dr. Vilkelis

Dr. Vilkelis has been practicing in New York City since 1995.  

Dr. Vilkelis employs many modern chiropractic techniques to provide a wide variety of treatments specifically tailored for each individual.  This includes adjusting of the extremities (arms & legs) which means an injury to your ankle may require an adjustment of your spine but also may require an adjustment of the ankle.  Some of the techniques Dr. Vilkelis utilizes are as follows:  Thompson, Gonstead, Diversified, SOT (Sacro-Occipital Tech.), Activator and Percussor.

Dr. Vilkelis was one of the many chiropractic volunteers working at the World Trade Center attack site.  He spent two months adjusting the emergency workers at Ground Zero beginning the day after the attack.

During 1999 thru 2001, Dr. Vilkelis was  practicing at St. Clare's Hospital and Health Center (currently St. Vincent's Midtown).  This is quite significant as there are currently no chiropractors on staff in any hospital in New York City.  

Dr. Vilkelis is a 1994 Graduate of The Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. He chose this school because of it’s status as the top chiropractic school in the world. Palmer was actually the first chiropractic college anywhere.  In fact most of the other chiropractic colleges were started by Palmer graduates.

Dr. Vilkelis received his Bachelor Degree in Biology from The State University of New York College at Oswego  in1989.
