Dr. Marlene Rivera

Dr. Marlene Rivera is a graduate of Sherman College of Chiropractic in SC. Originally from Puerto Rico, Dr. Rivera is fluent in both English and Spanish.

She is trained in Webster Technique which is a gentle approach to treating pregnant women with a breech pregnancy. Without touching the baby, the technique mobilizes the pelvic joints and surrounding soft tissues. Not only does this relieve lower back pain but it helps the pelvis adjust to accommodate the baby. This may help provide room for the baby to more easily move into the birth position.

Dr. Marlene is also on her way to becoming a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP). She has a strong background in competitive athletics and brings this experience and expertise to her patient care. She is versed in Cox Disc Decompression Flexion/Distraction, Thompson Drop, Gonstead and Diversified Techniques.

You may see Dr. Marlene enjoying Prospect Park and our lovely Park Slope neighborhood. She currently sees patients on Mondays & Wednesdays.
