Our Team

Founders/Lead Doctors

Dr. Jay Handt (pictured right in photo) and Dr. Josh Handt are a rare father – son team bringing decades of chiropractic experience to New York City. Together, they blend time-tested clinical insight with a modern, patient-first approach focused on long-term function, mobility, and whole-body health. Patients appreciate the confidence that comes from two generations of care under one roof – thoughtful evaluations, clear explanations, and plans built around real life, not quick fixes. Whether you are working through chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply aiming to move better and feel stronger, the Handts deliver personalized care rooted in trust, results, and consistency.

Team Chiropractor

Dr. Benjamin Rauch grew up in Stowe, Vermont, and pursued his goal of becoming a chiropractor by earning a bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Vermont. He went on to attend Life University’s College of Chiropractic, where he studied the body’s innate geometry and how precise, gentle adjustments can restore alignment and support clear communication between the brain and body.

During school, Dr. Ben completed his outpatient clinical experience in Värnamo, Sweden, combining hands-on patient care with his passion for travel and sharing chiropractic around the world.

After graduating from Life University in 2016, Dr. Ben returned home to practice alongside his father in Stowe. Together, they continued a 30-plus year tradition of family-focused, wellness-based chiropractic care for the community.

Outside the office, Dr. Ben enjoys hiking, mountain biking, and recreational sports.
