Dr. John McAtamney is a native of Bayside, Queens.  He is a 1984 Graduate of Holy Cross High School and a 1989 graduate of St. John’s University where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. He received his Doctorate in Chiropractic in 1993 from New York Chiropractic College.  

Dr. “Mac” has been an advocate of natural healthcare for many years. He says “I have been in practice for 19 years, serving the Northeast Queens Area with the highest quality Wholistic Chiropractic Care.”

"My professional journey has also become a journey of deep personal experience and discovery. I study new technologies and approaches to healing because I have a deep desire to know more."

"I have been called a pathological learner!"

In an effort to address the total person Dr. “Mac” focuses on the six ways your health potential can be robbed. "We check, structure, electromagnetic, nutritional weakness, emotional stressors, toxic accumulation and allergies and sensitivities.   The key thing about this last component is allergies affect the neuroimmune response and sensitivities produce ongoing inflammation throughout the body!"

“He explains, we are integrated into our environment so much, that we don't really know when we are not correctly connected.” This is the focus of his care programs. “So many people think that Chiropractic is about back or neck pain, but it’s not! The link between the mind-body is your nervous system. If it isn’t working right you aren’t working right! It’s that simple, really!”

Dr. “Mac” is also a 1st degree certified Reiki practitioner. 

His dedication to bringing the best in CHIROPRACTIC to his community, has caused him to continually evolve as practitioner. He is constantly advancing his knowledge base by continuing to master other CHIROPRACTIC Techniques, such as B.E.S.T and the Brimhall Technique.

He is politically involved, committed to making sure the public’s access to chiropractic is protected. He is an active member of the NEW YORK CHIROPRACTIC COUNCIL.  

Dr. McAtamney is a past Executive Officer for the New York Chiropractic Council. He has also been District President for the Queens/Brooklyn District and serves on many committees.

Dr. John McAtamney is also a CLA ambassador for the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance. 

Dr. McAtamney is also a Corporate Wellness Consultant available as a guest speaker for local businesses, groups and organizations.

We also use the Space Foundation Certified Subluxation Station to determine the degree of nerve system dysfunction each person has.

“We need a starting point so we can know exactly where each person is that we meet with. The Substation measures exactly how far someone is separated from his or herself. The substation gives us a number upon completion of all five technologies, called the neurospinal functional index, or NSFI. This number represents how far someone has moved away from optimal. It gives us a snapshot of the system and we can see the effects of stress on the physiology!!!”
