Bay Shore sits east of West Islip, which makes it one of the longer drives in our service area. Sunrise Highway or Montauk Highway both get you here comfortably. People come from that direction deliberately rather than incidentally, and most often it is for something they cannot find closer.

What We See from Bay Shore
SoftWave therapy is the usual reason. It is FDA-cleared shockwave treatment that activates the body's own repair response, and it is not offered in every practice — so people travel for it, particularly for knee and shoulder problems they have been told need injections or surgery.
The rest is the ordinary mix: back and neck pain, headaches, and the auto accident cases that come with living near this stretch of Sunrise Highway.
What We Do
Dr. Chris Hansen has practised in West Babylon since 1996. Care is hands-on and drug-free: full spine chiropractic, upper cervical specific technique for people who want a gentler approach, SoftWave therapy for tissue that heals slowly on its own, custom orthotics, and sports injury and auto accident care.
The approach is the same regardless of which town you drive in from: find the actual cause, explain it in plain language, and correct it rather than manage it. You can see the full list of conditions we treat, or read what patients say.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the drive from Bay Shore worth it?
For routine care, probably not - there are closer options. People make this drive for SoftWave therapy specifically, which is not offered in every practice, or after being told injections or surgery were the only remaining options.
What is SoftWave and why would I travel for it?
It is FDA-cleared shockwave therapy that activates the body's own repair response in tissue that heals poorly on its own - knees, shoulders, plantar fascia. Sessions run five to ten minutes with no downtime.
