Ramsey, New Jersey · since 2007
No cracking. Just gentle care for the whole family.
Lie back, look up, breathe out. Dr. Moe Abtahi has been the chiropractor Ramsey families look forward to seeing since 2007, with gentle adjustments for babies, kids, moms-to-be, grandparents and everyone in between.
Ramsey office: Mon & Wed 7 am–7 pm · Fri 7 am–6 pm · Sat 7 am–noon · Tue & Thu by appointment
Not a sterile room
A chiropractor you look forward to seeing.
When you are in pain, the last thing you want is to sit in a sterile room, waiting to be seen. Since opening the doors in Ramsey in 2007, Dr. Moe Abtahi has made Family Chiropractic & Spinal Health Care Center a friendly, comfortable place where every patient is valued and gets the personalized care they deserve.
He combines approaches to build a custom, holistic treatment plan for each patient: gentle chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, laser, ultrasound and shock wave therapy. That gentle approach is why so many of his patients are children, older adults, pregnant women, and people who simply don’t want a forceful adjustment.

Turn the lights down
Warmth and light, right down the hall.
Two of the newest things in the office, and one of the oldest: the lights low and a gentle adjustment.
Lights low for your adjustment
No bright, sterile exam room here. Our treatment rooms are lit soft and low, with padded tables and glowing lamps, so your shoulders can drop before Dr. Moe even starts.
Massage therapy works alongside your adjustments to relax muscles, improve circulation and ease stress.
Dahlia Red Light Therapy
Specific wavelengths of light reach into the body’s tissues and help your cells make more energy. Patients use it to ease muscle and joint discomfort and to support recovery after injury or physical stress, alongside their chiropractic care.
It isn’t a quick fix: results build with consistency.
Medical-grade infrared sauna
Infrared warmth goes deeper than a traditional sauna’s hot air. The heat relaxes tight muscles, eases stiffness and helps you unwind, in a controlled, regulated cabin.

Your first visit
Here’s what to expect.
New to chiropractic? Don’t worry. Your first visit is about getting to know each other.
A little paperwork
Like any doctor’s office, we start with a short intake form. Save time by filling it in before you come: download the PDF or use the patient forms page.
An exam and a computerized spinal screening
Dr. Moe examines you and uses a computerized spinal screening to learn more about the cause of your pain. Then you talk about how you feel and what you want to get back to.
A plan, made together
You’ll go over the results and agree on a plan: the type of treatment, anything to prepare, when you can expect to feel results, and lifestyle changes that may help.
Dr. Moe is with you every step of the way.
Please note: we are not currently accepting auto accident or personal injury cases.

Notes from the waiting room
Real words from real patients, on Google and on our old website.
From my very first visit, I started feeling relief and noticed a significant improvement in how I felt. What really stands out, besides the quality of care, is how flexible and accommodating the office is. Scheduling appointments has been easy, and they always do their best to work around my schedule.
Sean D. Google review
I was diagnosed with scoliosis 30 years ago and have had significant pain in my back over the years. Two years ago I had a major surgical procedure which left me with even more back pain, but through the help of Dr. Abtahi the pain has been greatly reduced. I now have pain-free days instead of days in which I could barely get out of bed.
Nomy G. Patient testimonial
Dr. Moe takes the time to listen and really understand what’s going on before starting any treatment. I never felt rushed, and everything was explained in a way that made sense. After just a few visits, I started noticing a big difference: less tension, better movement, and just feeling overall healthier.
Tayfun S. Google review
Dr. Abtahi and Michelle (massage therapist) are a wonderful team. The combination of massage and adjustments truly help my chronic pain, improve my posture and generally improve my quality of life. I greatly appreciate the help that I receive and value the care and compassion.
Reynold T., M.D. Patient testimonial
Dr. Moe is very knowledgeable and provides excellent care. I was suffering with severe lower back pain for over a month before I started coming here. After just a couple visits, I was feeling significantly better. I highly recommend!
Dahne M. Google review
I actually have an autoimmune disease, scoliotic arthritis, and so I am a very delicate case. Previously when I would go to a chiropractor the treatment might not be so muscle friendly, and I could be inflamed for two months at a time. Since I have been using Dr. Moe this does not happen anymore. Dr. Moe is gentle and knowledgeable. He uses many different techniques. He is very careful about how he approaches treating me. My son also goes there. Give it a try, and at least go once. He really is different.
