Her work heals your body & mind, along with alignment of your spine. It's like going to the therapy for me. You have to try it to believe it! I feel at peace as soon as I step into her office. You'll be greeted by Joe, who works at the front desk to take care of you. He is kind & understands your life situations when you schedule the appointments. Very patient & understanding person. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for balance in your life!

And am now pain free. I now play tons of golf, go on long trips and just continue to go for routine "maintenance" as needed. I've never had a better doctor who spends a lot of time figuring out the reasons for the pain and how to improve your situation through her techniques. And without drugs! She has a great practice in Sudbury in a very welcoming space. And it's a family business. Her husband Joe does the scheduling and is always ready to fit you in as needed and find a good time for you the same day you call. No 3 week waits etc like the regular MD's these days

I started seeing Dr. Lauren a few months back when she was in Copley Square. My office was right…read morearound the corner and it was convenient. She has since moved her practice to Jamaica Plain on Green Street and I will trek out to JP just to see her. I originally went to Dr. Lauren for neck and achilles pain. Within weeks, I was running again. She even checks in via text message to see how I am feeling after appointments. She is like a great mechanic that helps me keep my body in tip top shape.

I've had years of chronic neck and back pain. My friend, who directs the Boston Celtics Dancers, recommended Dr Lauren to me and I'm so glad she did! Dr Lauren is an excellent chiropractor. She spends a significant amount of time doing soft tissue work, which makes a huge impact on your overall success with treatment. Of course, she does traditional adjustments as well but because she looks at the total picture, her treatments are remarkably effective. One thing that really stands out to me is her ability to assess your condition and offer treatment that gets results quickly. I had suffered from tendinitis in my left elbow for almost 2 years. I had three treatments, where Dr. Lauren used the Graston technique and my condition improved dramatically. I highly recommend her.

When the exercises alone weren't enough they got me to talk with a doctor who advised one cortisone shot. The subsequent physical therapy was transformative. I now regularly keep up with my exercises, and have full mobility back. I hugely recommend them. Thanks Andrea! Thanks Jane!

Very bizarre and expensive experience. ( I don't blame anyone but myself for this). I was given the…read more"I am not a doctor" before going into my appointment. However, during my appointment and after listing all my symptoms and how gynecologists have told my I have suspected endometriosis, I was told by Kristine that I don't have that during muscle testing. I was shocked at such a bold statement ONLY because it went against the "I am not a doctor" statement I was told. I convinced myself this woman had a strong intuition until my chronic pelvic pain did not subside from the tinctures I was given. Which ... they weren't supposed to. It was only something western medicine could handle. Here I am two weeks post op with all endometriosis excised from my bladder and deep from my pelvis. So, Yes. I did have that. But the point of this review is that I was told I didn't have something..... when I absolutely did. It did not align with the " I am not a doctor" which I was told twice. If you are not a doctor, then how come I am being told I don't have something? Everything was very speedy and rushed... but I am assuming that is all because routine is the same for every person. Listen to symptoms, muscle test, and send home with 2-3 tinctures/ vitamins. Waiting for the western medicine and natural path world to align and become one instead of being so separate from each other!!! Hopefully one day. I see reviews that this practice is a scam, I think it is in some ways, but for some people (especially when their symptoms are mental, body is low in vitamins, contains parasites, etc. ) it could really help but it seems to be an expensive guessing game that is for sure.

After reading so many 5 star reviews, I was desperate to give this a try, even with the high…read moreinitial price point (approximately $200 for the appointment and homeopathic drops). I have to agree with another recent reviewer that this is a scam. The entire process was strange from start to finish in terms of what she does to check the body energy. None of it makes sense and you can watch her video on Yelp to see what I mean. I have chronic gastritis and came in for help with that. What she found and the drops given did not help me. Actually a very natural remedy did recently, but nothing that was done during this appointment or following. I am not sure how what she does helps people with digestive issues and I don't think she should be advertising that she can help with that. I also don't think she should be ripping people off with such a high initial price point when there are no guarantees and what she does is pretty hard to believe as legitimate. I really wanted this to work but I warn people to not go and use your best judgement. As desperate as you might be, this is too good sounding to be true and effective.

I'd like to share my experience with Dr. Neal Smookler as he's a hidden gem. I started going to…read moreNeal in June of 2013 through word of mouth, not knowing what to expect. Neal's Alphabiotics resets have been truly life changing for me. They leave me feeling renewed on all levels - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Neal was very thorough in explaining the Alphabiotics reset process. Almost instantly upon being reset, I experienced and continue to, overall well-being and clarity. It's been almost 2 years since my first Alphabiotics reset by Neal and I continue to go 2-3 times a month. The results were subtle at first. Something felt different but I couldn't put my finger on it. In time, I experienced less anxiety, which was the primary reason I started going. In the process, occasional back pains and aches suddenly stopped. Alphabiotics has given me more that I could ever imagine. I flow through life with ease and grace and Neal's presence during resets have been a major factor in my reaching this point. Give this a try - it's something truly life changing.

I started seeing Dr. Smookler of New England Alphabiotic Foundation because I had been so stressed…read moreout that I couldn't focus and it had begun to affect my health. After my first treatment, I was amazed; I felt no stress, I was so relaxed. It felt like my shoulders had melted downward, no more tension to carry. I could truly focus for the first time in years. It made me realize how overwhelmed I used to feel, and now I can identify the stressors around me and think more clearly on how to resolve them. The doctor is both kind and patient, and concisely explains the process to help you understand the changes that begin to occur. I highly recommend Dr. Smookler to anyone that wants to live life more pleasantly, free of the physical hindrances that come from the stressful society in which we live.

Well, I just finished my 10(ish) series with Daphne, and I already miss her! I probably would have…read morekept going for forever, but Daphne was honest enough to tell me that she thought I had reached the full benefit of the rolfing series. (However, she did invite me back for tune-ups in the future, whenever I feel like I need them!). Overall, my body feels much more elongated and looser. I actually gained an inch or two in height, and even my mom would be proud of my posture now. My core is straighter and clothes fit better. My shoulders are even, and my right shoulder (chronic bursitis from playing competitive tennis) feels so much better than it used to. I honestly haven't had any issues with my shoulder, IT band, or headaches for awhile, and I'm attributing it to Daphne's mad skills. I just feel... healthy. I highly recommend rolfing and Daphne to just about everyone. After a few sessions, you will feel great!

This review is based on my one experience for accupuncture only…read more So I had my my first experience with accupuncture yesterday! I had never done it before so have nothing to compare it to but think I can be objective about the service at Cambridge Health which was very good. My accunpuncturist (Marilyn) was friendly and thorough in her questions prior to beginning. Marilyn clearly believes in the medicine of accupuncture and helping people which got through some of my cynicism. She made me feel really comfortable and made sure I didn't have any questions or qualms before starting. I actually don't have any physical issues (knock on the old wood) aside from weak ankles from sports but it turns out that it's best to have accupuncture before you have problems as a preventive health measure. The needles did not hurt (a few stung for a second) and I could actually feel stirrings in my ankles from the needles in my scalp! The appointment lasted about 90 minutes but flew by. I am still not 100% sure about the powers of accupuncture but afterwards I had a feeling of euphoria akin to Peter in Office Space after hypnosis! I also had football practice that night and my previously sore left ankle felt pretty good. I know, it could all be in my head, but I really enjoyed the experience and made a second appointment. They are running a special right now- 50% off your first two treatments if you call before 9/15 so give it a try!

I loved how Dr. Phillips took the time to listen to all of my concerns and explain everything to me. After a few sessions she was able to completely eliminate my pain with her skilled yet gentle touch! I'll definitely be using her services in the future. It's wonderful that she even makes house calls! I was very happy with the quality of care that I received. I highly recommend Dr. Phillips to anyone who is experiencing pain.
