Fusion Chiropractic
About
Dr. Cynthia Seebacher, D.C. focuses primarily on patients with chronic pain and chronic illness. She has been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 1999 and a Doctor of Chiropractic since 2015. Approximately 45% of her patients have hEDS, 2 daughters with hEDS and HSD herself. She provides a gentle chiropractic adjustment, moving major joints through their appropriate ranges of motion (hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists) to neurologically re-set the nervous system for appropriate proprioception (body’s awareness through time and space). She utilizes microcurrent for vagus nerve stimulation, calming the nervous system, relaxing/releasing tension from muscles and strengthen ligaments and tendons through microcurrent frequencies. She checks each new patient for cranial or cervical instability prior to any cervical adjustment, and uses neuro-myofascial release when indicated. Dr. Seebacher is also able to provide corrective and appropriate exercise, especially restoring core strength. She also uses RockTape or Kinesiotape to provide support for muscles and joints, as well as using things to protect the delicate skin of EDS patients when using adhesives. Dr. Seebacher is also helpful to patients having Dysautonomia and POTS.
EDS Healthcare in New York
The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center operates in Old Westbury and Central Islip, offering specialized rehabilitation and treatment. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside focuses on EDS with Chiari malformation. Weill Cornell provides pain management expertise. New York Medicaid covers genetic testing with prior authorization. Wait times at major programs can be 6 months or longer.
Both EDS Centers of Excellence are on Long Island, leaving upstate New York significantly underserved. Patients in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and the Adirondacks face drives of 4-6+ hours to reach these programs. Wait times of 6 months or more are common. Rural upstate access is very limited, and telehealth is important for follow-up care.
Finding Chiropractic for EDS
Confirm the chiropractor uses gentle, low-force techniques like Activator or flexion-distraction rather than high-velocity adjustments, which can injure hypermobile joints.
