Expert Chiropractic Care in Boston, MA

If you’re dealing with nagging back pain, chronic tension headaches, or an injury that isn’t healing, then you’ve probably thought about chiropractic care. But maybe you’re not sure what to expect or if it even works.

At Charles Street Family Chiropractic, we take a different approach. We don’t just crack your back and send you on your way. We focus on real correction, not just temporary relief. Whether you’ve been in a car accident, are struggling with poor posture, or want to move better, we can help.

What Is Chiropractic Care and How Does It Work?

Chiropractic care is a natural, hands-on approach to treating pain and mobility issues by restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine.

If your spine is misaligned, even slightly, it can cause problems everywhere else in your body. You might experience headaches, tension in your neck and shoulders, lower back pain, or even a tingling feeling in your arms and legs.

We use precise spinal adjustments to correct these misalignments, relieving pressure on the nerves and allowing your body to heal itself. Medication only masks the pain, but once it wears off, the pain comes back. Chiropractic care focuses on fixing the issue to restore your function and mobility for long-term results.

Conditions Treated with Chiropractic Care

You wake up, stretch, and there it is again. That nagging stiffness in your back. Maybe it’s from sitting too long at work, an old sports injury, or that car accident you thought you walked away from without a scratch. Either way, you’ve been pushing through it, hoping it’ll just go away. We don’t believe in “just dealing with it” because our chiropractic care can help with:

• Auto Injuries & Whiplash – Even minor fender benders can throw your spine out of alignment, leading to long-term pain if left untreated.
• Sports Injuries & Performance – Athletes need full movement of their muscles. They rely on proper movement and flexibility to stay in the game. Chiropractic care can help with recovery and injury prevention, so your performance does not dip.
• Lower Back & Neck Pain - Whether from bad posture, a herniated disc, or muscle strain, chiropractic adjustments can help relieve this pain, usually after the first visit.
• Sciatica & Nerve Pain - If you’re feeling pain in your back or hip or feel it shooting down your leg, that’s often caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve. Adjustments help relieve that pressure naturally.
• Tension Headaches & Migraines - The tension in your neck and upper spine is often the culprit for your chronic headaches. Fixing alignment issues can reduce their frequency and intensity.
• Poor Posture & Desk Job Struggles - You don’t usually notice your posture when you’re working, but even sitting all day will wreck your posture. Chiropractic care will help correct any imbalances to reduce pain and muscle strain.

Chiropractic Techniques We Use

Not all chiropractic care is the same. We tailor treatments based on your needs using a combination of the following techniques to get the best results:

• Spinal Adjustments - The core of chiropractic care, these gentle spinal manipulations help restore proper alignment and relieve nerve pressure.
• Soft Tissue Therapy - We address muscle tension and inflammation that contribute to pain, helping your body hold adjustments longer.
• Sports Chiropractic Care - Best for athletes, focusing on injury recovery, flexibility, and optimizing performance.
• Postural & Ergonomic Coaching - Bad habits like slouching can undo progress. We teach you better movement patterns to prevent future pain.
• Rehabilitative Exercises - Targeted movements to strengthen weak areas and improve stability. This helps keep your spine aligned between visits.

• Spinal & Postural Evaluation - We examine your spinal alignment, posture, and range of motion to find the root cause of your discomfort. This may include X-rays if needed.
• Personalized Treatment Plan - We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We develop a plan that fits your condition, lifestyle, and goals.
