Dr. Jan Lefkowitz, NYC Chiropractor and Founder of Body In Balance Chiropractic

Dr. Jan Lefkowitz founded Body In Balance Chiropractic in 2011 after 10 years of private solo practice. His initial 10 years of practice were mostly fulfilling but there was a feeling that he had that something was missing from his traditional chiropractic practice. Chiropractic was so effective at relieving his patient’s pain but it didn’t seem to be as long-term corrective as he had hoped. As he expanded his research into other fields such as kinesiology, functional movement, postural stability, herbal nutrition, laser therapy and meditation, he began to put the pieces in place to create the MAPSTM Protocol. What was born was a comprehensive approach for the treatment of pain, the correction of posture, the building of strength and resilience and the lowering of stress and inflammation. The MAPSTM Protocol was the culmination of his life’s work and his 20+ year career as a Doctor of Chiropractic.

M.A.P.S.TM Protocol
Transforming Health with Movement, Alignment and Posture

The goal of the MAPSTM Protocol is to solve a very important problem that Dr. Lefkowitz noticed repeatedly in his patient population. A lack of stability and an imbalance in the system of muscles which regulates posture in the human body is creating an “epidemic” of pain, injury, inflammation and even nervous system stress. Chiropractic is a vital piece of the puzzle for the restoration of spinal alignment but what about the system of postural muscles which protects and holds it all together? That was the missing piece. By combining the two together and then empowering patients with a way to maintain these corrections on their own - this allows a true transformation. The outcomes have been truly remarkable as we have seen people heal their chronic pain as their bodies change shape. Imagine a way to improve beauty, symmetry, lean muscle and posture all while doing it in a healthy and functional way that keeps you pain free.

A.I.R.TM Mind Body Program
Advanced Inflammation Resolution for the Mind & Body

Dr. Lefkowitz was thrilled with the success of MAPSTM but he knew some people needed even more. He noticed a pattern in many people’s health that he saw over and over. Joint pain, muscle tension, headaches, brain fog, anxiety, sleep issues, weight gain and fatigue. Those were the most common but nerve issues, autoimmune issues, digestive problems and dizziness were sometimes present as well. Searching for a common link to all of these health problems, it seemed to be a never-ending cycle of inflammation as the root cause.

The next question was - what is the source and where is all this inflammation coming from?

Dr. Lefkowitz identified 3 hidden sources of inflammation as being the root cause of so many of these problems.

1) Spinal Health & Posture
2) Gut Health & Microbiome
3) Brain Fitness & Mental State


As scientists already know, many of the chronic diseases in modern society such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and auto-immune diseases are also linked to inflammation. By developing a protocol that can assess multiple body systems - spine, gut, brain and correct the root cause of inflammation, that is the secret to the success of this program. The comprehensive and holistic nature of this program is what makes it so unique and so transforming to health.

As inflammation naturally reduces, many people notice they begin to heal. They report feeling more energy, thinking more clearly, sleeping better, looking younger, feeling calmer, losing weight, moving better, less pain and so much more. This is the path to feel your best, look your best, optimize your health and proactively reduce your long-term risk of chronic disease. We call it a health transformation.

Erica R.

“I would give more stars if I could! The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and they take the time to carefully listen to you and then work to find the best treatment for you at that time.

Rina R.

“Body in Balance offers expert service with a personal touch. The doctors are very knowledgeable and they take the time to explain what’s happening with my body and how we can work together to improve it. I get the care I need from caring people!”

Posture is Powerful and Movement is Medicine.

Correcting the body's internal system that regulates posture is the key to all of our healing programs. By first stabilizing the structure of the body, nerve stress reduces, inflammation resolves and people can move better and become strong and resilient. Chiropractic care, deep-tissue massage therapy, and functional movement are just some of the tools we use to accomplish these broader health goals.
