Life at Pace University moves fast. Whether you’re balancing a full course load, lecturing across departments, or commuting across NYC for meetings, it’s easy for your body to feel the pressure. Sitting for long hours, carrying heavy backpacks, or hunching over a laptop can lead to stiffness, poor posture, and persistent aches and pains.
At Unity Chiropractic Wellness, located just steps from Grand Central Terminal in Midtown East, we offer personalized chiropractic care designed to support the Pace University community. We proudly accept PPO insurance plans associated with Pace University employees and students, helping you get the care you need with minimal hassle.
We Accept PPO Insurance Plans from Pace University
If you’re a Pace student, faculty member, or staff employee enrolled in a PPO health insurance plan, you may be covered for chiropractic care. While we do not accept HMO or EPO plans, we’re happy to verify your PPO benefits in advance and explain your coverage.
Our experienced staff will handle all the paperwork and provide clear answers before treatment begins—so you can focus on feeling better.
Why Chiropractic Care Makes Sense for Pace Students and Staff
1. Long Hours of Sitting Lead to Spinal Stress
Whether it’s a 90-minute lecture, a full day of studying at the library, or hours at your desk grading papers or answering emails, sitting for too long often leads to:
- Neck and shoulder tightness
- Low back discomfort
- Slouching or poor posture
- Muscle fatigue and spinal compression
Chiropractic adjustments can relieve this pressure, improve spinal alignment, and reduce tension throughout your body—naturally and effectively.
2. Heavy Bags and Commuting Can Cause Imbalances
Pace students and employees often carry laptops, textbooks, or gear across NYC—especially those commuting to the Manhattan or Pleasantville campuses. Over time, this repetitive stress leads to:
- Shoulder imbalances
- Hip or knee discomfort
- Sciatica or nerve irritation
- Uneven posture
At Unity Chiropractic Wellness, we evaluate full-body mechanics, correct misalignments, and help you walk, stand, and sit with less strain.
3. Stress and Studying Manifest Physically
Academic pressure doesn’t just affect your mind—it shows up in your body. High stress often leads to:
- Jaw tension (TMJ)
- Headaches
- Poor sleep
- Stiffness in the neck and upper back
Regular chiropractic care helps calm the nervous system, reduce muscle tension, and promote more restorative rest—so you feel more focused, clear, and ready to perform.
Conditions We Commonly Help Address
Our Midtown East office regularly treats students and university professionals for:
- Tech neck from extended screen use
- Tension headaches from postural stress
- Low back pain from sitting too long
- SI joint discomfort from uneven weight-bearing
- Repetitive strain from note-taking, typing, or studying
- Reduced range of motion in the neck or shoulders
You don’t need a major injury to benefit from care—many of our patients come in for preventive wellness and postural maintenance.
