Needham Chiropractic Associates, P.C. is a multi-doctor facility that has been serving the health care needs of patients since 1981. Our philosophical approach to care is to evaluate and treat both muscular and skeletal structures. Doctors at Needham Chiropractic Associates, P.C. utilize both soft tissue techniques (Active Release Technique) and gentle, specific, manual manipulation of the spine and extremities. We also feel that patient education is an essential tool, allowing patients to take an active role in their health care.

Low back pain is one of the most common disorders for which patients seek health care. Acute low back pain by nature is usually very sudden in onset and commonly results from activities of daily living as well as recreation and sport activities. Research has revealed that 90 to 95% of acute low back pain is due to musculoskeletal or mechanical dysfunction.
Painful and limited shoulder mobility is a common complaint in practice. It is often seen after recreational sports and exercise. We also see this with patients that over-exert themselves, commonly referred to as the "weekend warrior syndrome". The shoulder is a joint suspended by muscle. This gives the shoulder great mobility and function, but can also make it susceptible to injury if under or over-used. Shoulder impingement syndromes can often be helped with advanced muscular therapies to the ligaments and muscles of the shoulder.
These symptoms are most commonly thought to originate from disc herniation or protrusion of the spinal vertebra in the neck. While this is a possible causal factor, it is not the only one under examination. Nerves can also be entrapped after they exit the spine as they course through other tissues to their destination.
Naturally, we are designed to walk barefoot, which allows the toes to grip the ground as we walk or run through gait. As the toes flex to grip the ground, the muscles that support the arch of the foot engage and strengthen. Today, we spend most of our time walking on hard, flat surfaces and wear footwear to pad our feet, and these muscles do not engage properly.

Dr. Nate Tiplady is the best if you need a young strong guy to adjust you! I am 6'2 and over 250lbs and he is pretty much the only chiropractor who can beat on me enough to get me to adjust. I am guessing I have been working with him 10 years+. Now I just need to get him to have on-line scheduling. Nate think technology at a lower cost than calls/email/texts.
