Western New York Spine & Chiropractic

What Western New York Spine & Chiropractic does

Western New York Spine & Chiropractic is a privately held, single-location chiropractic clinic headquartered in downtown Buffalo, New York, operating from the Ellicott Square Building and serving patients across the Buffalo–Niagara Falls region. The practice delivers conservative, non-invasive musculoskeletal care through 12 distinct therapeutic modalities — spinal manipulation, Activator technique, Flexion/Distraction therapy, IASTM, manual therapy, interferential stimulation, traction therapy, ultrasound-and-stim combo, cold and heat therapy, postural correction, sacroiliac joint adjustment, and sports injury chiropractic care — addressing back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, herniated discs, whiplash, arthritis, neuropathy, and injuries from auto, work, and sports incidents. Care is delivered by a three-doctor team led by Dr. Alexi Fakhari, supported by three administrative staff (Senior Office Manager, Billing Manager, Patient Coordinator, and an additional coordinator).

The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model with revenue collected across four channels: major medical insurance (BCBS, Independent Health), no-fault auto insurance for eligible New York State residents, workers compensation, and cash self-pay with payment plans available. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: same-day appointments and walk-ins, phone and website-based scheduling, and a marketing mix combining condition-targeted SEO content, organic Facebook and Instagram presence, a Google Business Profile review funnel, and high-profile athlete testimonials as social proof. Notable endorsers include captains of the U.S. and Australian women's national soccer teams, lending credibility in the sports chiropractic segment. No external funding, parent company, subsidiary, or institutional ownership is evidenced; the practice appears founder-led and independent. There is no proprietary software platform, no AI capability, no app product, and no data assets — the offering is entirely service-based and delivered in-person at the single clinic.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Activator Chiropractic Technique A gentle chiropractic technique that uses a small handheld instrument to deliver precise adjustments to the spine without heavy manual manipulation. Ideal for acute patients and can reduce trigger points and fibroid adhesions.
• Cold and Heat Therapy Therapeutic application of ice and heat (ice-and-compression technique) to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote healing for acute and chronic injuries, including enabling athletes to return to competition with confidence.
• Flexion/Distraction Therapy A technique that uses a specialized table to gently stretch and decompress the spine, opening space between the disc and nerves to relieve irritation, reduce radicular symptoms, and improve mobility.
• Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM) A form of soft tissue therapy that uses specialized instruments to detect and treat areas of scar tissue and adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
• Interferential Stimulation Therapy Electrical stimulation therapy that uses low-frequency electrical currents to reduce pain, decrease swelling, and promote muscle rehabilitation.
• Manual Therapy Hands-on therapeutic techniques including massage, joint mobilization, and stretching to reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and support recovery.
• Postural Correction Therapy Treatment focused on improving posture and alignment through adjustments, exercises, and ergonomic guidance to reduce strain on the spine and muscles.
• Sacroiliac Joint Adjustment Chiropractic adjustment specifically targeting the sacroiliac joint to reduce pain, improve stability, and restore proper function in the pelvis and lower back.
• Spinal Manipulation Core chiropractic technique involving precise manual adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment, improve mobility, and reduce pain by addressing joint restrictions.
• Sports Injury Chiropractic Care Specialized chiropractic treatment for athletes and active individuals addressing sports-related injuries, improving performance, and supporting return to activity through targeted therapies.
• Traction Therapy Technique that uses mechanical stretching to decompress the spine and reduce pressure on discs, relieving pain and improving function for disc-related conditions.
• Ultrasound and Stim Combo Combined therapeutic modality using ultrasound therapy and electrical stimulation to reduce inflammation, manage pain, and support soft tissue healing.
