One Practice. Every Tool You Need.
Most chiropractic or physical therapy offices offer one or two services. Back2Health offers an entire ecosystem of musculoskeletal and wellness care under one roof. Chiropractic care, physical therapy, therapeutic massage, cold laser therapy, acupuncture therapy, and occupational and hand therapy — all delivered by credentialed, experienced professionals in a single, coordinated practice. This means you never have to juggle multiple offices, explain your history to a new provider, or worry about whether your care team is communicating. At Back2Health, everyone on your team already knows your case.
A Team With Exceptional Depth of Experience
Our clinical team at Back2Health brings a combined total of well over 80 years of hands-on healthcare experience. Our physical therapists average more than 20 years of individual practice, our chiropractor Dr. Edward Shmaruk is a Board Certified Chiropractor licensed in New York and New Jersey, and our Licensed Massage Therapist brings 15+ years of specialized medical massage expertise. This depth of experience is not found at typical chiropractic practices — it is the result of a deliberate commitment to building a team that can handle complex, multifaceted cases with skill and confidence.
Olympic-Level Chiropractic Expertise
Dr. Shmaruk’s clinical credentials extend beyond the treatment table. In 2009, he was invited to serve as team chiropractor for the FIBT World Bobsled and Skeleton Championships in Lake Placid, working with world-class athletes from the Russian Olympic team. He was subsequently invited to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada in the same capacity — providing chiropractic, physiotherapy, and functional rehabilitation to maximize elite athletic performance. This level of expertise benefits every patient at Back2Health, from competitive athletes to seniors managing chronic conditions.
Individualized Care — Not a Cookie-Cutter Protocol
At Back2Health, we do not have a standard three-visit protocol that every patient follows regardless of their condition. Every patient receives a thorough evaluation — including a detailed health history, physical and neurological examination, and functional movement assessment — before any treatment begins. Your treatment plan is designed specifically for your diagnosis, your goals, your lifestyle, and your body. We reassess your progress regularly and adjust your plan as your condition evolves, ensuring that every stage of your care is appropriately calibrated.
Same-Day, Evening, and Saturday Appointments
We understand that pain doesn’t wait for a convenient time — and neither should your treatment. Back2Health offers same-day appointments for patients with acute or urgent conditions, evening hours until 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, and Saturday morning appointments until 2:00 PM. Our scheduling flexibility is one of the most consistent things our patients mention when they describe what makes Back2Health different. You shouldn’t have to wait two weeks to see someone when you’re in pain — and at Back2Health, you don’t have to.
Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
Back2Health accepts most major health insurance plans, Medicare, personal injury protection (PIP) automobile insurance, workers’ compensation for both New York and New Jersey, and attorney lien and letter-of-protection arrangements for personal injury cases. Our front desk team verifies your specific coverage before your first appointment so you always know exactly what to expect financially before treatment begins. We believe that financial barriers should never stand between a patient and the care they need.
A 4.8-Star Reputation Built on Real Results
With a 4.8-star Google rating across more than 200 reviews, Back2Health‘s reputation speaks for itself. Our patients consistently describe feeling heard, cared for, and genuinely better after treatment. That is not an accident — it is the result of a team that is deeply invested in every patient’s outcome and that measures its success by how well its patients recover, not by how many appointments they attend. We invite you to read our reviews and see for yourself what our patients say about their experience.
Bilingual Care for the Fair Lawn Community
Fair Lawn and the surrounding Bergen County communities are home to a rich and diverse population. At Back2Health, our team includes fully bilingual staff fluent in both English and Spanish, ensuring that every patient — regardless of their primary language — feels genuinely understood and fully supported throughout their care. We are proud to serve the entire Fair Lawn community with the same standard of excellence and compassion.
A Genuine Commitment to Your Long-Term Health
Our goal at Back2Health is not simply to get patients out of pain and out the door. Our goal is for every patient to achieve genuine, lasting health — fully healed, structurally sound, and equipped with the knowledge and habits to maintain their wellness long-term. From your first evaluation through your recovery and into your maintenance care program, we are with you every step of the way. That long-term commitment to patient outcomes is what drives everything we do at Back2Health in Fair Lawn, NJ .

Frequently Asked Questions About Back2Health
What makes Back2Health different from other chiropractors in Fair Lawn?
Back2Health is a fully integrated, multidisciplinary practice — not a traditional single-discipline chiropractic office. Our team combines chiropractic care, licensed physical therapy, therapeutic massage, acupuncture, cold laser therapy, and occupational hand therapy under one roof. Every patient’s care is individualized based on a thorough diagnostic evaluation, and our team brings over 80 combined years of clinical experience to every case.
Does Back2Health treat both acute injuries and chronic conditions?
Yes. Back2Health is equally experienced treating acute injuries — auto accidents, sports injuries, sudden-onset pain — and chronic conditions including back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, and chronic headaches. Our approach to each is different: acute care focuses on fast, complete recovery; chronic condition management prioritizes sustainable symptom control, functional improvement, and quality of life.
How quickly can I get an appointment at Back2Health?
Back2Health offers same-day appointments for patients with acute or urgent conditions, available Monday through Saturday. Call (201) 820-3343 as early in the day as possible for the best chance at a same-day slot. Evening appointments are also available until 7:00 PM on weekdays for non-urgent scheduling.
Does Back2Health offer post-surgical rehabilitation?
Yes. Back2Health provides post-surgical rehabilitation for a wide range of procedures including knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, spinal surgery, carpal tunnel release, and fracture fixation. Our protocols are coordinated with your surgeon’s guidelines and designed to achieve the safest, most complete recovery possible for each procedure type.
Is Back2Health a good fit for senior patients?
Absolutely. Back2Health treats patients of all ages, and our senior patients are among those who benefit most from our integrated care model. Age-appropriate chiropractic techniques, physical therapy focused on mobility and fall prevention, gentle therapeutic massage, and cold laser therapy for arthritis and joint pain all address the most common health concerns of Bergen County’s older adult population in safe, effective, and non-invasive ways.
Can I see a chiropractor and physical therapist at Back2Health on the same visit?
Yes. One of the key advantages of Back2Health‘s integrated model is that patients can receive chiropractic and physical therapy care — as well as other services — within the same appointment or on the same day, coordinated seamlessly by a team that communicates openly about your care plan. This efficiency makes treatment more effective and more convenient compared to visiting separate practices for each service.
How do I know if Back2Health is the right practice for my condition?
The best way to know is to call us at (201) 820-3343 and describe your condition to our team. We will let you know whether we are the right fit, what the evaluation process looks like, and what to expect from treatment. If we believe your condition requires a different specialist, we will tell you honestly and help coordinate the appropriate referral. We would rather give you the right answer than the convenient one.
