Nestled in the heart of the NYC Financial District, Liberty Wellness and Chiropractic is a healthcare facility offering a range of treatments aimed at promoting holistic healing and wellness. The practice integrates various modalities to ensure each patient receives a personalized care plan.
Chiropractic Care: Aligning Your Body for Optimal Health
Dr. Sean Cotter, the main doctor and founder, leads Liberty Wellness and Chiropractic. With over 28 years of experience as a doctor of chiropractic and holistic wellness practitioner, Dr. Cotter is ART certified and recognized for his voluntary chiropractic care of recovery and rescue workers following 9/11.
Patient Diagnosis and Proper Referral
Dr. Cotter diagnoses and refers patients for treatment when conditions are outside the scope of practice at Liberty Wellness & Chiropractic. For example, a restaurateur with a swollen leg sought Dr. Cotter’s help after playing softball for eight hours. Dr. Cotter diagnosed a clog in the patient’s thigh artery and referred him to the ER. The patient received surgery and blood thinners, resulting in a full recovery and the prevention of a potentially life-threatening condition.

Addressing Headaches
Approximately one-third of Dr. Cotter’s patients seek treatment for headaches. These headaches are often caused by tension in the upper cervical spine muscles, particularly the suboccipital and sternocleidomastoid muscles. Dr. Cotter and his team reproduce pain patterns to identify effective solutions for relieving pain and chronic discomfort. Treating tension headaches can reduce the intensity and frequency of migraines.
Massage Therapy: A Timeless Approach to Pain Relief
Massage therapy is utilized at Liberty Wellness to manage pain and enhance relaxation. The massage therapists offer techniques ranging from deep tissue to soft tissue massage, tailored to individual needs. This approach, often in collaboration with other healthcare providers, aims to maximize therapeutic benefits and contribute to overall health.
Acupuncture: Balancing Energy for Modern Wellness
Acupuncture is a significant part of Liberty Wellness’s offerings, aiming to balance the flow of qi (energy) by targeting the body’s meridians. The acupuncturists apply traditional techniques to address modern health concerns, complementing other treatments to manage pain and promote well-being.
