BackStrong - acute and chronic back pain recovery

Back Bay Health is a one stop shop for all things good: movement and sustainable, long term wellness. I found Tim and Laura almost a year ago while suffering from acne during quarantine. Tim, a functional dietician, worked with me to get to the internal source of my acne and gave me evidence-based approaches to address it without ever pushing medications. Laura worked with me to address ongoing hip pain following a torn labrum that never seemed to heal. Perhaps the biggest takeaway for me here was to stop “babying” my hip. Years of doing that post injury just led to more issues. Adding heavy weight and strength training actually helped. Far more than I ever thought. My hip is now much happier when running and I’ve been able to increase my mileage. I highly recommend them for their holistic approach. It really works.

My ortho recommended I see a non-traditional chiropractor for a hip injury that had taken me out for 12+ months. I had pursued typical physical therapy with minimal improvements. I found Tim and Laura through a personal trainer I used to work with. In two months of working together, I went from unable run, play sports, and sleep pain-free to playing sports, taking 1/8th the Advil, and sleeping well. Unfortunately, I'm moving from Boston, but Laura and Tim helped me find help in my new city. If you're injured and struggling to make progress... If you're stumped at how to get better after trying traditional approaches, take an hour, and try Back Bay Health & Performance. It's worth your time.

Between Laura working with me on my movement patterns and Tim working with me on my gut health, I have never felt happier or healthier. They've truly transformed my life. They've helped me cross the finish line of my 4th and 5th half marathons and most recently helped me complete my first marathon that I had spent 5 years trying to complete but was unable due to injury. I'm sleeping better than I ever have and thus have more energy than I could have ever imagined. All the ailments I went in with have resolved. They really are a one stop shop for optimal health and wellness. I can't say enough amazing things about Tim and Laura. They helped me get my life back and helped me achieve things I didn't think I could. I'd give 12 stars if I could. It takes a lot to keep me around and over 2 years later I am still working with them and still learning. I HIGHLY recommend giving these two a visit.

What else can you say, really. These guys are great. They are respectful, honest, easy to get ahold of. They are funny. They are positive and knowledgeable. They aren’t your usual chiropractors that just crack you and send you out — they take a holistic approach and really teach you how to manage your own body and pain.

Dr. Tim and Dr. Laura are the best!!! Their approach is so respectful and comprehensive. It is not a one size fits all kind of practice, they really take their time to listen to my concerns and always ask me the right questions to figure out what might be going. I have been to many other chiropractors in the past and I have to say, hands down, they are the best!!

Drs Tim and Laura have helped me tremendously the past three years. I have had two back surgeries and both times they have given me strategies and treatments that have enabled me to recover faster and stay off pain medications. They also fully explained to me in language I could understand my MRI’s and X Rays. They developed a specific plan with hands on treatments, nutrition, and exercises for me that have helped me immensely. They are very knowledgeable in health and nutrition and they actually care about all their patients! They are highly accessible and are very courteous and Professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of first care treatment for their Spine and the rest of their body too!

I will always come to Tim for rehab and any problem pains in the future. My treatment (virtual because of covid), was directed, had explicit goals, I made clear progress and I ended up in a better position than I had been before. This is so very effective. I completely recommend.
