Harvard Square Chiropractic

Our chiropractic adjustments use state-of-the-art techniques to correct spinal misalignments and relieve nerve pressure. This non-invasive treatment addresses back pain, neck pain, and headaches by restoring proper joint function. Patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and enhanced nervous system communication through precise manual manipulations performed by experienced doctors.

Graston Technique employs specialized instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This evidence-based method accelerates recovery from sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, and chronic pain conditions.

These home-based exercises enhance treatment outcomes by 30-40% through targeted stretching and strengthening routines.

I've been going to see Dr. Doody for a few months now. He has definitely made my neck/back pain more manageable, and he's an incredibly nice person to talk to. The staff is also great and appointments are easy to book! I highly recommend this practice.

I first came across Harvard Square Chiropractic in 2015 because I had chronic lower back pain for over 10 years. Treatment from Pat made me pain free. I still visit Harvard Square Chiropractic for treating the occasional strains from lifting. Pat's treatments and stretching advice has helped me recover from those faster! Office staff is also great, booking and rescheduling sessions always has been convenient. Would highly recommend!

I've benefitted from Dr. Doody's adjustments and Graston techniques for the past two months and would recommend him to others! I was suffering from headaches due to shoulder and neck tension and Dr. Doody was immediately able to relieve the pain. He's also helped with back pain due to old injuries and various muscle tightness using the graston tool and massage techniques. He listens well and addresses particular issues each visit as well as giving comprehensive adjustments for my back and neck. Finally, the office is comfortable, clean, and friendly.

Wow what can I say about the lovely staff at Harvard Square Chiropractic! Everyone is so sweet. It was very easy to become a patient and to continue scheduling appointments. Dr. Patrick Doody is hands down the best chiropractor that I've seen. I've been to a number of providers for adjustments (to remedy some lingering athletic injuries) and I always feel comfortable and well taken care of here. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Harvard Square Chiropractic for several months and would recommend it to everyone. Dr. Patrick Doody is extremely professional, friendly, and has helped improve my upper back pain. The front desk staff is also friendly, booking appointments is super easy, and the office is in a very convenient location!

I've been a patient at Harvard Square Chiropractic since at least 2017. I initially sought them out after a long history of neck and shoulder issues and found them through Google. I cannot say enough good things about this place and the people. I've seen Dr. Doody for multiple strains and injuries and it has improved my quality of life by reinforcing the importance of taking care of my body. At the end of every appointment he demonstrates stretches for me to continue on my own at home.

He has an amazing memory and regardless if you go a couple of weeks in a row or only few times in a year he will remember and ask about how things are feeling. He takes the time to explain what is going on so I feel well informed as a patient. Prior to the pandemic they held excellent cleaning standards and even more so today. All of the staff are COVID vaccinated and care about the safety and wellness of their patients.

Their admin staff are SO SPEEDY to reply to emails and calls. I've referred my husband and 2 friends there as well. My husband got "frozen" with a muscle spasm and it was immediately addressed. It's a great experience all around and I'm so thankful for this place.

The Doctors, therapists and staff at Harvard square chiropractic are a wonderful team of professionals. They provide excellent, affordable care in a comfortable and conveniently located space. I've always felt looked after by the team there. They have helped me to get relief from back pain in a way that other therapies cannot. I'm a much more well "adjusted" person for knowing them.

I started my treatment with Dr. Doody a few weeks ago to help with pregnancy-related back and hip pain. After just one visit I felt better, and I'm seeing him every week now and keep improving every time. I went from being completely stiff and unable to walk much, to being fairly mobile and relatively pain-free. Highly recommended!

I've seen Patrick Doody for four years now, an average of a few visits per year. He is able to assess and fix any issues I have quickly and he educates me on habits and exercises. He also has excellent bedside manner and I feel confident during my visits that I am receiving excellent care. I believe it is because of his expertise that my hip and back issues are less frequent now and also shorter in duration. I highly recommend Harvard Square Chiropractic.

I am so grateful for the amazing massage I had with Sabrina! I've had severe back pain for over 6 weeks (with minimal success with muscle relaxers and pain killers). My doctor recommended alternative methods of pain relief and mentioned finding a licensed massage therapist. I was able to get an appointment quickly (within 2 days of my call). I was nervous because of how acute my pain was but Sabrina talked with me prior to the massage and put me at ease.

I really appreciated that she explained what she was doing, checked in to make sure I was okay/still breathing, and providing education on how to prevent my current level of dysfunction by adjusting my lifestyle and activity. She was thorough and prepared me when something would be more uncomfortable (in a good way!). I can finally walk normally, stand for a decent amount of time, and have been pain-free so far! I'm definitely going back and can't wait.

Love this place! I found my way here after it being suggested to me by a few different people. From the office staff to the doctor, everyone I've interacted with has been very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Dr. Patrick is incredibly personable and makes you feel at ease right away. My neck, shoulder, and back pain improved significantly after just my 2nd visit, and I'm always able to schedule an appointment that works for me. 5 Stars!

I've been receiving weekly adjustments for chronic pain at Harvard Square Chiropractic for over five years, and I highly recommend it. I used to see Pat and, due to a change in my work schedule, have now been working with Chris for close to a year. Both are absolutely excellent - kind, thorough, and very skilled. I also appreciate their helpful recommendations for at-home care, such as stretches and exercises.

Patrick is hands down the best chiropractor I've ever been to. He is kind, friendly and clearly very skilled. I appreciate his focus on stretching and massage during sessions in addition to adjustments. Unlike other chiropractors I've been to he does not push for unnecessary additional follow ups. I feel so lucky to have found my way to his office!

I have been coming here for a few years. The office is small, clean, cozy and very convenient to my office. I know there is massage and maybe acupuncture, but I haven't used those services. I'm a huge fan of Dr. Doody. I always walk out better than I walked in. Along with chiropractic adjustments he does soft tissue work. As a weightlifter I require frequent body work. I can't recommend Pat enough and encourage you to pay him a visit.

I started seeing Kourtney after an unsuccessful stint with a physical therapist (who shall not be named). Even before my first appointment, I knew I was in the right place. I stopped into the practice to inquire about their services, and more specifically, whether a chiropractor could help alleviate and correct persistent nerve pain. During that visit, Kourtney happened to overhear my inquiry and offered to give me a short consultation. Unheard of, and so appreciated.

As a patient, it's been encouraging to be overseen by someone with expertise, compassion, and extraordinary thoroughness (also strong hands!). Kourtney has listened to me and adjusted treatment accordingly. Most importantly, my pain is finally starting to dissipate. Thank you to Kourtney and the HSC team for such a lovely experience.

I've been going to this practice (Dr. Doody) for a few weeks and have had huge improvement. My back pain is no longer dominating my life! Best Chiropractor I've ever been to.

Hands-down the best chiropractor I've ever worked with, Patrick is the best! He's knowledgable, strong and compassionate. If you are looking for a chiropractor in Cambridge, this is the guy to work with. Highly recommended!

Excellent service in a friendly atmosphere. Bottom line- I got great results in a matter of two weeks. Thanks Dr. Pat and everyone else at Harvard Square Chiropractic!
