    Meet Dr. Constantine Cossifos, D.C.

    New Rochelle chiropractor · Palmer College of Chiropractic · Practicing since 1988

    Dr. Constantine Cossifos is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa — the founding institution of the chiropractic profession — and has been in practice since 1988. For more than 38 years, patients across New Rochelle, Westchester County, and the Bronx have trusted him with their spines, and with the health of their families.

    The power that made the body, heals the body.

    That simple principle guides everything at Westchester Spine & Disc Pain Center. Dr. Cossifos believes the body is designed to heal — and that his job is to remove what stands in the way. That's why the practice is built entirely around natural, drug-free, non-surgical care: precise chiropractic adjustments, advanced non-surgical spinal decompression, and therapies that work with your body rather than masking its signals. That philosophy has a track record — hundreds of patients who came in facing the possibility of surgery have found lasting relief through conservative care instead.

    Beyond the adjusting table, Dr. Cossifos takes a genuine interest in his patients' long-term wellness — coaching them on nutrition, reducing toxicity, exercise, rest, and mindset. Many of his patients have been with him for decades, and many more arrive as referrals from family and friends. That trust, built one patient at a time since 1988, is the practice's proudest credential.

    In his own words

    Dr. Cossifos's Story

    How one adjustment at age sixteen set the course for a life's work.

    I Thought I Had a Brain Tumor

    At sixteen, I started getting headaches so severe I was convinced something was seriously wrong. Three medical doctors examined me and none of them could tell me why. I was playing high school football at the time, and the pain was wrecking both my grades and my game. Like a lot of my teammates, I had lower back pain on top of it.

    Then a teammate hurt his arm badly, and our coach took five of us to see a chiropractor. With my parents' consent, the doctor examined me and found several misaligned vertebrae in my spine. He adjusted my neck — and my headaches were gone.

    What he told me that day stayed with me: every part of the body is controlled by the brain and nervous system, and pain is the way the body tells us something is wrong. My teammate got full strength back in his arm, and three of the other players had excellent results too.

    Every part of the body is controlled by the brain and nervous system — pain is the way the body tells us something is wrong.

    One Experience with Chiropractic Changed My Life Forever

    That single visit sent three of us from that football team into the chiropractic profession. I finished my pre-med coursework and enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa — the school where chiropractic began.

    I graduated in 1988, and I've spent every year since helping people heal naturally, the same way someone once did for a scared sixteen-year-old who thought he had a brain tumor.

    My Philosophy on Chiropractic Care

    The power that made the body heals the body. My job is simply to remove what's standing in the way.

    It is far easier to maintain your health than to recover it once it's lost — so I practice what I teach my patients. I stretch every day, eat well, exercise three to five times a week, and get adjusted regularly to keep my own nervous system balanced. Between riding my motorcycle and running, I need it as much as anyone.

    The power that made the body, heals the body.
