About Us

Dr. Michael F. Calabrese is a leading chiropractor and wellness expert with over two decades of experience in New York City. As a dedicated healthcare provider, he takes a holistic approach to patient care, focusing on long-term solutions rather than temporary relief.

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Dr. Calabrese developed a passion for health and rehabilitation early in life. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Fredonia University before pursuing his Doctorate in Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College. His career began on the Massachusetts General Hospital campus, where he worked alongside Dr. Kurt Fabrick, specializing in aquatic therapy and rehabilitation.

In 2003, Dr. Calabrese brought his expertise to New York City, co-founding Lexington Medical Associates with Dr. George Liakeas. His commitment to integrative care led him to establish Lexington Rehabilitation in 2008, where he continues to help patients recover, heal, and optimize their well-being.

Dr. Calabrese has trained extensively in advanced therapeutic techniques, earning certifications in Active Release Technique (ART), Graston Technique, Electro-Diagnostics, and Chiropractic Bio-Physics. He has worked with a wide range of patients, from athletes to professionals, tailoring treatments to meet their unique needs.

Expanding his holistic approach to healthcare, Dr. Calabrese now practices with Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences, a multidisciplinary practice offering Primary Care, Pain Management, and Mental Health Services. This collaboration allows him to provide a truly comprehensive, whole-body approach to patient care, ensuring that physical, mental, and overall wellness are addressed under one roof.

Beyond his practice, Dr. Calabrese is deeply committed to personal wellness. He follows a ketogenic lifestyle, practices intermittent fasting, and stays active through roller hockey, ice hockey, and long walks with his dog.

With a passion for innovation and a patient-first philosophy, Dr. Calabrese continues to redefine what’s possible in chiropractic and rehabilitative care.
