Sports Injury Treatment
Our sports injury treatment specializes in accelerating recovery for athletes at all levels. Using advanced soft tissue techniques and biomechanical analysis, we address acute injuries and chronic conditions caused by repetitive strain. Our evidence-based protocols help professional athletes from teams like the New England Patriots return to peak performance while providing the same quality care to weekend warriors and recreational athletes.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique treats soft tissue injuries by breaking down adhesions and scar tissue that restrict movement. Our certified practitioners use this hands-on method to address conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and sports-related muscle strains. This approach improves range of motion and reduces pain without invasive procedures, making it ideal for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Our prenatal chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy using gentle techniques like the Webster Method. We help alleviate back pain, sciatica, and pelvic discomfort while optimizing pelvic alignment for easier delivery. Certified practitioners focus on creating ideal in-utero positioning while addressing common pregnancy-related conditions through non-invasive, drug-free treatments.
Graston Technique
Graston Technique uses specialized instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions. This evidence-based method effectively addresses chronic pain, tendonitis, and post-surgical scar tissue by stimulating healing responses in affected areas. Our certified providers combine this technique with rehabilitative exercises to restore mobility and function for patients with both acute injuries and long-standing musculoskeletal conditions.
Performance Optimization
Performance optimization focuses on improving biomechanical efficiency and preventing injuries for active individuals. Through comprehensive movement assessments and individualized treatment plans, we address muscle imbalances and movement pattern deficiencies. This service combines soft tissue therapy, corrective exercises, and sports-specific training to enhance physical capabilities for professional athletes, performing artists, and everyday fitness enthusiasts.

In need of an urgent adjustment while out of town and the office manager is very unwilling to work with me.

Report
When my orthopedist told me to go to Khalsa Chiropractic for deep tissue/myofascial release work on my shoulder and hip I was hesitant - I've never been to chiropractor before and didn't know what to expect - but I made an appointment with Dr. Sara Morrissey Posner and would at least give it a try. Their office on Boylston Street is spotless and doesn't have a doctor's office feel - more like the Pilates studio they share the space with. Dr. Morrissey Posner asked lots of question and explained the myofascial techniques before she proceeded - very thorough. Pleasantly surprised doesn't describe the amount of pain relief and gain of range-of-motion I've experienced after 5 visits to her. It's just remarkable how much better I feel.

I was skeptical to visit a chiropractor due to previous experience. I wanted actually help vs simply having a generic adjustment. I will say Dr. Toader does a phenomenal job. Not only does she listen to me when I go in, but makes great recommendations to help me continue to remain injury free during training season. I have never met the other practitioners there, but I Dr. Toader is great to work with.

I've been to many chiropractors throughout my life, and Dr. Toader has been the most thorough. Many chiropractors spend only 10 minutes with you - quick adjustment and then they're onto the next one. Dr. Toader takes the time to listen and puts so much effort into helping you feeling better for the long haul.

I highly recommend Dr. Ansenberger. Very thorough and professional. I used to see her before she moved to the Boston area, and I still miss her adjustments. She always had me feeling better after I saw her. The Boston area is lucky to have her. Top notch chiropractor!
