Our treatment philosophy is to exhaust non-surgical treatment options for those with back and neck pain so they can avoid spine surgery.

We are a regional resource for chiropractors and family practice physicians from across the Quincy region, and those back pain sufferers who live in South Boston, South Shore, Braintree, Milton, Dedham, Brockton and all across Southeastern Massachusetts.
