Well Being Chiropractic PC: Chiropractor and PT Near Hempstead
Hempstead has no shortage of places with “chiropractic” on the sign and very few that treat a car accident or a work injury the way a no-fault or workers’ compensation case has to be treated: with a documented plan, the right billing and a clinician who has done it a few thousand times. Well Being Chiropractic PC is at 330 Sunrise Highway, Suite 100, in Rockville Centre, about ten minutes south of Hempstead village by car or bus, and for twenty five years its caseload has centered on exactly those two kinds of patient. This page is for anyone in Hempstead, West Hempstead or Uniondale looking for a chiropractor or physical therapy after an accident: what the clinic does, who does it, how to get there, how the insurance works and what the first visit involves.
Well Being Chiropractic PC provides chiropractic care and physical therapy for Hempstead, West Hempstead and Uniondale patients from its clinic at 330 Sunrise Highway, Suite 100, Rockville Centre, NY 11570, about ten minutes from Hempstead by car or the N4 and N15 buses. Dr. Zinaida Goldshteyn, DC, has 25 years of rehabilitation practice focused on car accident (no-fault) and workers’ compensation injuries. Chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture and spinal decompression are under one roof, the clinic bills no-fault and workers’ comp directly, the first consultation is free, and hours run until 8 pm Monday to Thursday with Sunday hours. Call (516) 206-1700.
Rockville Centre is directly south of Hempstead, and the clinic sits on Sunrise Highway, the road every Hempstead driver already knows.
By car from Hempstead village, take Peninsula Boulevard south to Sunrise Highway and turn east; 330 Sunrise Highway is on the north side a short distance past the Rockville Centre LIRR station, with parking at the building. From the west side of the village and West Hempstead, Hempstead Avenue south through Lakeview to Sunrise Highway is the other route. From Uniondale, Uniondale Avenue or Nassau Road south to Sunrise, then west. Ten to fifteen minutes from any of the three.
By bus, the N4 runs from the Hempstead transit center down Nassau Road and Peninsula Boulevard to Rockville Centre and stops near Sunrise Highway; the N15 runs along Peninsula Boulevard; the N16 serves Rockville Centre from the north. By train, the Hempstead branch of the LIRR does not connect directly to the Babylon branch, so for a train trip the practical route is the bus. For a no-fault patient, transportation to and from treatment may be a covered expense; ask the clinic’s front desk, which handles that paperwork daily.
Why Hempstead Patients Come Here Rather Than Somewhere Closer
The Clinic Treats Accident and Work Injuries as Its Main Work
Dr. Goldshteyn’s practice is built on no-fault and workers’ compensation cases, not a general wellness practice that takes the occasional accident. That shows in three places: the examination, which is documented to the standard the insurer and the Workers’ Compensation Board require; the plan, which is written and re-evaluated at intervals those cases demand; and the front desk, which files no-fault claims, obtains workers’ comp authorizations and bills the carrier directly so the patient does not pay out of pocket. The auto accidents injury treatment page and the personal injury treatment and rehabilitation services page describe the accident side; the clinic’s own guide to whether no-fault insurance covers chiropractic care in New York explains the billing.
Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture Under One Roof
An accident patient usually needs more than one kind of treatment, and at most practices that means two or three offices, two or three sets of records and two or three insurers’ forms. Here it is one building. The chiropractic adjustments restore joint motion; the physical therapy program rebuilds strength and range; acupuncture addresses pain and muscle tension; spinal decompression therapy handles disc cases. A first visit can combine an adjustment, physical therapy modalities and manual therapy in one hour.
Hours That Fit a Working Patient
Monday to Thursday 9 am to 8 pm, Friday 9 am to 7 pm, Sunday 9 am to 5 pm, closed Saturday. A Hempstead patient working a day job can be in the chair at 6:30 on a weeknight or on Sunday morning, which for a treatment plan of two or three visits a week over several weeks is the difference between finishing the plan and abandoning it.
Twenty Five Years, One Clinician
Dr. Zinaida Goldshteyn, DC, graduated from the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic in 2001, is licensed in New York, holds a certification in electrodiagnostics and has practiced rehabilitation-focused chiropractic for 25 years. Her techniques include Diversified, Activator instrument-assisted adjusting, Flexion Distraction on a specialized moving table and Advanced BioStructural Correction. The Dr. Zinaida Goldshteyn, DC page has her full background. Her license can be checked on the New York State Office of the Professions verification search.
What the Clinic Treats
Whiplash and neck injuries after a rear-end collision, the most common injury in the clinic. Lower back pain and strain from a lift at work or a crash. Herniated and bulging discs, treated with decompression and flexion distraction before anyone talks about surgery; the herniated disc treatment page covers it. Sciatica and radiating pain into the leg or arm, on the sciatica treatment page. Joint and soft tissue injuries to shoulders, knees and wrists. Slip and fall injuries, on the slip and fall injury page. Sports injuries. Postural dysfunction from months of guarding an injury. And the nerve symptoms, numbness, tingling, weakness, that the clinic’s neurology services and electrodiagnostic testing evaluate.
How a Car Accident Case Works for a Hempstead Patient
New York is a no-fault state: your own auto insurer pays for medical treatment after a crash regardless of who caused it, up to the policy limit, provided the claim is filed within 30 days of the accident. That 30-day deadline is the single most important fact on this page. The clinic’s front desk files the no-fault application for you at the first visit if it has not been filed, and bills the carrier directly for every visit afterward, so a Hempstead patient pays nothing out of pocket for covered care. You do not need a lawyer to be treated, though many patients have one, and the clinic coordinates with attorneys when asked. The motor vehicle accidents page and the clinic’s first 72 hours after a car accident on Long Island checklist cover the steps.
How a Work Injury Case Works
A work injury in New York is covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance, not your health plan. You report the injury to your employer, a claim is opened with the Workers’ Compensation Board, and treatment by an authorized provider is covered. Bring your claim number to the first visit; the clinic obtains the authorizations the carrier requires, documents the case to Board standards and bills the carrier. If the claim is still being opened, come anyway; the clinic has handled the paperwork from the first day for twenty five years.
What Treatment Looks Like, Week by Week
An accident or work injury plan at Well Being is not one visit. The typical no-fault whiplash case runs two to three visits a week for the first few weeks, then tapers as pain and range of motion improve, with a re-evaluation every few weeks that is documented for the carrier. A first phase of two to four weeks is about pain and inflammation: gentle adjustments, electrical stimulation or ultrasound, acupuncture for muscle spasm, ice and heat, and advice on what not to do. A second phase is about motion and strength: physical therapy exercises, manual therapy, flexion distraction for disc cases, and a home program that the patient does on the days between visits. A third phase is about return to work and normal life, with the exercises progressed and the visits spaced out until discharge. The clinic writes each phase into the plan and tells the patient where they are in it; a Hempstead patient should never be in the chair wondering why.
Common Injuries From Hempstead's Roads and Workplaces
Hempstead Turnpike, Peninsula Boulevard, Fulton Avenue and the Southern State produce rear-end collisions, which means whiplash: neck pain and stiffness that often arrives a day or two after the crash, headaches at the base of the skull, and sometimes tingling into the arm. Side impacts at the village's intersections produce shoulder and rib injuries and lower back strain. From the workplaces, the warehouse and retail jobs produce lifting injuries to the lower back, the health care and school jobs produce falls and repetitive strain, and the construction and delivery jobs produce shoulder, knee and back injuries. The clinic has seen every one of them for twenty five years, and the first examination is designed to sort what is a strain that will resolve with treatment from what needs a surgeon's or a neurologist's eye.
Why Delay Is the Enemy
Two clocks run after an accident. The medical one: soft tissue injuries treated in the first week heal faster and leave less scar tissue and stiffness than the same injury treated a month later. The legal one: the no-fault claim must be filed within 30 days, and an insurer will use a long gap between the accident and the first treatment to argue the injury was not caused by the crash. For a work injury the same logic applies to the Workers' Compensation Board. The clinic sees Hempstead patients within a day or two of calling, and the free first consultation means there is no reason to wait for a paycheck to be seen.
The First Visit
The consultation is free. Bring your ID, your insurance card, your claim number if you have one, the police report or employer incident report if you have it, and any imaging or ER paperwork. The visit runs about an hour: a history of the accident or injury, an examination of the spine, joints and nerves, an explanation of what was found and a written plan with the frequency and the expected duration. Treatment usually starts the same day. The clinic does not order imaging it does not need and does not keep a patient on a plan past the point of benefit; the plan is re-evaluated at intervals and discharged when the goals are met.
Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Options in Hempstead
Hempstead itself has general chiropractic offices, physical therapy franchises and a few multi-specialty injury clinics with rotating providers. Two things separate Well Being from most of them. First, the same clinician who examines you treats you, for the whole plan, and her license and 25-year record are public. Second, chiropractic, physical therapy and acupuncture are in one building with one chart, which for a no-fault or workers’ comp case means one set of documentation that matches itself. The question to ask any clinic, in Hempstead or anywhere, is who will treat me and how will my case be billed; a clinic that cannot answer both in one sentence is one to leave.
Hempstead, West Hempstead and Uniondale
Hempstead Village
The largest village in New York State and the transit hub of central Nassau, with the N4 and N15 running from the transit center straight toward the clinic. The village’s workforce, in retail, health care, the schools and the county buildings, is the clinic’s largest source of workers’ compensation patients from the area. For car accidents, Hempstead Turnpike, Peninsula Boulevard and Fulton Avenue produce a steady share of the clinic’s no-fault cases.
West Hempstead
Directly west of the village and the neighborhood the clinic’s own service page URLs still carry, from its earlier years. From the Hempstead Avenue corridor and the West Hempstead LIRR station, the clinic is ten minutes south through Lakeview to Sunrise Highway.
Uniondale
East of the village along Uniondale Avenue and Hempstead Turnpike, with the Nassau Coliseum and hotel corridor at the north end. Uniondale Avenue or Nassau Road south to Sunrise, then a few minutes west; the N4 covers it by bus.
The clinic also sees patients from Roosevelt, Garden City, Franklin Square, Baldwin and Freeport, and has area pages for most of the towns around it, including car accident injury treatment and workers’ compensation in Uniondale.
Questions to Ask Any Accident Clinic Near Hempstead
Who will examine me, and who will treat me on the visits after that? Do you bill no-fault and workers’ comp directly, or will I be asked to pay and seek reimbursement? Will you file my no-fault application if it has not been filed? How will my progress be documented, and how often will I be re-evaluated? Are chiropractic, physical therapy and acupuncture in the same building? What are your evening and weekend hours? Well Being answers all six on the phone before the first visit, and the answers are the ones on this page.
What Patients Say
The clinic’s reviews on Google are public and worth reading in full rather than paraphrased. The themes that come up most are the ones an accident clinic hopes for: that the paperwork was handled, that the plan was explained, that the evening hours made the schedule possible and that the pain got better. Read them, check the license, and book the free consultation.
If You Are Not Sure You Are Hurt
The most common Hempstead call the clinic gets is from someone who was in a crash two days ago, felt fine at the scene, and now cannot turn their head. That is whiplash on its ordinary schedule, and it is the reason the no-fault law gives you 30 days rather than 24 hours. If you were in a collision and anything hurts, stiffens or tingles in the days after, the free consultation is the right next step; it costs nothing, it takes an hour, and it starts the documentation that protects both your recovery and your claim. If nothing hurts, you do not need the clinic, and it will tell you so.
Honest Notes
The clinic is in Rockville Centre, not Hempstead; the trip is ten to fifteen minutes and this page does not pretend otherwise. It is closed Saturday. It does not have an orthopedic surgeon or MRI on site; imaging is ordered from nearby facilities when needed. And it is a rehabilitation practice: if an injury needs a surgeon, a pain management physician or an emergency room, Dr. Goldshteyn will say so and refer.
