RightSpine Chiropractic Neurology Associates

Who We Are
RightSPINE was originally established as Vinnin Square Chiropractic in 1994 to serve the North Shore as a specialty spine clinic. When we moved to our present, state of the art, location in December of 2005, the name change was done to reflect our growing specialization in the field of Neurology. Having an advanced degree in Chiropractic Neurology, Dr. Friedman has the training that brings chiropractic methods to the 21st century. Chiropractic Neurologists are at the forefront of the chiropractic profession, utilizing the latest in diagnostics coupled with advanced physical examination techniques. Additionally, Dr. Friedman is the first chiropractor in Massachusetts to employ Manipulation Under Anesthesia. Because of the nature of the procedure, it is performed in the surgicenter at our Peabody office, located at the Pain and Wellness Center. We continually strive to provide more services in order to make RightSPINE your first choice when it comes to complimentary and alternative medicine.
What is Chiropractic Neurology?
As in medicine and dentistry, the chiropractic profession has individual specialists. Through education, training and board certification, these doctors choose to limit their practice to a certain specialty to assist members of their profession and allopathic physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of conditions.
Within the chiropractic profession, there are specialists in radiology, orthopaedics, neurology, and physical rehabilitation. The training to become a board certified neurologist in the chiropractic profession is an additional three years after the doctor's degree, which is conducted under the auspices of an accredited university or college that is recognized by the U.S. Office of Education.
Typically, a chiropractic neurologist serves in the same consulting manner as a medical neurologist. The difference is that the therapies or applications of a chiropractic neurologist do not include drugs or surgery. As a result, certain conditions are more customarily seen by a chiropractic neurologist as opposed to a medical neurologist, and vice versa. Chiropractic neurologists see patients with a variety of disorders including, dystonia, post-stroke rehabilitation, and radiculopathy (or nerve entrapment syndromes). Chiropractic neurologists can provide therapies and treatments as well as counsel when there is a diagnostic dilemma or a question of appropriateness of care.
What is Active Release Technique?
ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
What is Oriental Medicine/Acupuncture?
Oriental medicine is a comprehensive system of health care with a clinical history of more than 3000 years. Oriental medicine includes acupuncture, Chinese herbology and bodywork, dietary therapy and exercise based on traditional Oriental medicine principles. These therapies work with the natural vital energy inherent within all living things to promote the body's ability to heal itself. This system of health care is used extensively in Asia and is rapidly growing in popularity in the West.
