Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Harvard Square Chiropractic emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big surge in the popularity of our wellness center.
At Harvard Square Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Cambridge office. We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques.
We understand that arriving at a doctors office for the first time can be nerve racking. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces and names, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience. That's why at Harvard Square Chiropractic our aim is to remove any stressor causing unnessesary tension and to make you feel comfortable. In this area of the website you will be able to take care of items necessary for your visit prior to arriving, in the comfort of your own home.
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.
Next, you will have a consultation to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for the doctor to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals. After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility.

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.
