Lower extremity pain has a way of affecting everything. Walking through the city, climbing stairs, standing for long hours, exercising, or even sleeping can become uncomfortable when the hips, knees, ankles, or feet are not functioning well. Sometimes the pain is sharp and localized. Other times it shows up as stiffness, instability, or a feeling that one side of the body is “off.”
At our NYC chiropractic clinic, we take a whole-body, movement-focused approach to Lower Extremity Pain Treatment NYC, addressing not only where the pain is felt, but why it developed in the first place. Hip, knee, ankle, and foot pain are rarely isolated problems. They are often the result of altered gait mechanics, poor load distribution, weakness in stabilizing muscles, old injuries, or compensation patterns that build over time.
Our goal is to restore how your lower body moves, supports weight, and absorbs impact so pain resolves and does not keep returning.
Lower extremity pain can present differently depending on the underlying cause. Symptoms we commonly see include:
Because the lower body works as a system, symptoms often appear far from the true source of the problem.
Our care supports patients experiencing a wide range of lower extremity issues, including:
This approach is especially effective for individuals seeking Hip Pain Treatment NYC, Knee Pain Treatment New York, Ankle Pain Treatment NYC, and Foot Pain Treatment NYC without relying on medication or surgery.
Your evaluation begins with understanding how your pain affects your daily life. We look at when symptoms started, what movements aggravate them, and how your activity level, work demands, and past injuries may be contributing.
We then assess posture, gait, joint mobility, muscle activation, and load transfer using principles of Biomechanical Assessment NYC and Functional Movement Screening New York. This allows us to identify inefficient movement patterns, weak links in the chain, and areas of excess strain.
This evaluation forms the foundation of Personalized Chiropractic Care NYC, ensuring your treatment plan addresses the true drivers of pain.

Our treatment blends hands-on care with movement retraining so improvements last beyond the treatment room. Each plan is individualized and may include Manual Therapy & Soft Tissue Treatment NYC, chiropractic care, and progressive rehabilitation.
Soft tissue restrictions in the hips, thighs, calves, and feet often alter joint mechanics and increase stress on surrounding structures. Using Soft Tissue Therapy NYC, myofascial release, and targeted mobilization, we reduce tension, improve circulation, and restore tissue elasticity. This is particularly effective for muscular tightness, postural strain, and overuse injuries.
Services List
Lower extremity pain frequently involves overactive or adhered tissues that limit movement efficiency. Muscle release techniques help restore normal glide between tissue layers, reduce strain during walking and training, and improve overall movement quality.
When joint restrictions are contributing to pain, gentle chiropractic adjustments can help restore motion in the pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, or foot. This supports better alignment and load distribution and is often an important part of Chiropractic Treatment NYC for lower body pain.
Long-term relief depends on retraining how the lower body moves. We use principles of Movement Therapy NYC and Movement Restoration NYC to improve hip stability, knee control, ankle mobility, and foot mechanics. Gait patterns, balance strategies, and load tolerance are addressed so your body can handle daily demands with confidence.

Testimonials Posted on Aubry MasonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mallik gives such a personalized and thorough experience! As a pro dancer I have to take care of my body and with Monisha I know I am in great hands. She listens to what I need and takes a very holistic approach that keeps me pain free and able to keep dancing! Would highly recommend her!Posted on Jason WitherspoonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve dealt with years of chronic neck and back pain and had grown very frustrated following a long string of disappointing experiences with practitioners who had narrow approaches, made quick assumptions, and only provided surface-level care. Finding Dr. Mallik has been a very different experience. She takes the time to listen and understand, as well as adapts her approach based on how your body responds, not following a rigid formula. She’s knowledgeable, thoughtful, and integrates a wide range of modalities that go beyond basic adjustments. She genuinely cares about her patients’ progress and checks in, offers additional recommendations, and is invested in seeing real improvement. Dr. Mallik is someone who understands the bigger picture of chronic pain and how the body works and is truly committed to helping her patients heal, not just manage symptoms.Posted on John TerminiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was visiting New York for a week and ended up in crippling back pain, barely able to walk straight. I found Dr. Malik by chance, and honestly, she was phenomenal. From the first visit, she was super helpful, extremely thoughtful, and genuinely cared about getting me back on my feet. In just three visits, I went from struggling to stand to walking normally again. You can tell she loves what she does and takes time to really understand what’s going on with your body. I’m so grateful I found her while I was in town. If you’re in pain and need someone who truly cares, Dr. Malik is the one to see.Posted on Ashley ReedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Malik is amazing! She takes a very holistic approach to her treatment and adjustments which is huge for me. Our body is a big machine and it’s so important everything is taken into consideration. She also does amazing soft tissue work with the adjustments so your body is less likely to get pulled back out of alignment. On top of those she’s very caring and a thoughtful listener, with a broad range of knowledge and techniques. Definitely recommend!Posted on Jeffrey RogersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming from a combat sports background, I have seen the inside of what feels like every injury rehabilitation office in the city, finding little relief or the right fit. Dr. Mallik has exceeded expectations and has completely renewed my faith in the industry as a whole. Dr. Mallik has been instrumental in my recovery from rather severe neck and back pain. I feel genuinely listened to for the first time in what seems like ages. She shows true situational empathy coupled with an actionable recovery plan. In relation to my chronic pain, life-changing is truly an appropriate term here.Posted on Chris LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mallik (Monisha) is a wonderful chiropractor who has been providing treatments for me at various points over the past several years. She is patient, effective, and kind. I'd enthusiastically recommend her to anyone.Posted on Daisy AmesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mallik is the best chiropractor that I have worked with. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful in her practice. I have recommended her to numerous people, who also have had great experiences. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of chiropractic work.Posted on Amanda ClementTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a professional dancer and performer, and because I have been utilizing my body in such unrelenting ways for so long, I know a thing or two about a chiropractor. Dr. Monisha is, by far, one of the most gentle, yet truly effective, chiropractors I have ever seen. She is deeply curious, empathetic, and kind, and her ability to ask the right questions and build trust, results in fantastic care. I recommend her to anyone who is looking to be seen, heard, understood, and ultimately healed.Posted on Eddie RiveraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mallik has been instrumental in my road to recovery from shoulder issues. Her knowledge & approach is top-notch, treating me with compassion & patience all the way through. I am so grateful our paths have crossed.Posted on Madeline ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing prenatal care! I visited Monisha after weeks of intense low back pain in my third trimester. I had tried many different solutions, and nothing was working until I saw Monisha. She is diligent about understanding the source of your discomfort, and uses gentle but effective techniques during sessions that had me feeling better before I walked out the door. The appointments combined with the exercises and stretches she recommended I do at home had me feeling better in under 2 weeks. I am so grateful and could not recommend Monisha more for chiropractic care - pregnancy and beyond!
