Three Passaic chiropractic options: Lexington Avenue, Prospect Street and rehabilitation

A chiropractic appointment in Passaic can mean visiting a long-established office on Lexington Avenue, a second-floor practice on Prospect Street or a rehabilitation center offering several disciplines on Passaic Street. The choice depends on more than the nearest address: each office has different hours, and a physical therapy appointment is not the same service as a chiropractic visit.

We compared three local practices, their published services and practical information. Their profiles contain addresses, contact details and the other offices identified by the practices.

Sidoti Center: a Lexington Avenue practice

At 180 Lexington Avenue, Sidoti Center for Chiropractic says it has served Passaic and Clifton for over 30 years. Its team page presents chiropractor Evann Sidoti, whose education includes health and exercise science and chiropractic studies at Life University. Information and new-patient forms are available in English and Spanish.

The contact section lists Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 to 7 p.m., and Tuesday from 3 to 6 p.m. The website does not give a complete schedule for other days in that section. Visitors have described a friendly reception and clear explanations, details that can matter when a patient is attending for the first time.

Capitol Chiropractic: a Passaic office with other locations

Capitol Chiropractic & Rehab occupies the second floor of 157 Prospect Street. It is part of a network that also identifies offices in Jersey City and Paterson. Chiropractor Michael Manno is associated with the Passaic office. The practice publishes chiropractic appointments Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Its profile lists the other offices with their own addresses and telephone numbers. The public listing identifies an accessible entrance; because the Passaic office is on the second floor, people who need more detail about access can ask the office before the visit.

SportsMed: chiropractic alongside physical and hand therapy

SportsMed Physical Therapy, at 188 Passaic Street, describes chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture and occupational and hand therapy at the Passaic location. The office names Beshowy Wanis among its physical therapy team. It also lists movement and balance training and speech therapy. The practice publishes hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

SportsMed’s public listing says the entrance is not wheelchair accessible, an important consideration for someone arranging transportation. Comments from visitors discuss the staff and physical therapy; those experiences should not be mistaken for a guarantee of results or for an assessment of every service in the building.

Sidoti provides Spanish-language new-patient materials; Capitol publishes later weekday chiropractic hours and has offices in two neighboring cities; SportsMed combines several rehabilitation disciplines. The profiles give readers the details needed to compare the actual service and location.
