Burlington to Kendall Square is a drive. Route 3 south to Route 2 east, exit at Alewife, then Fresh Pond Parkway and Concord Avenue through to Broadway, takes about 20 minutes outside rush hour. When Route 2 backs up, I-93 south to Leverett Circle and Route 28 across the river is the alternative. The 350 bus runs from Burlington Mall to Alewife, where the Red Line takes you to Kendall/MIT, but count on 50 minutes; driving is faster. From the mall and the Route 128 interchange beside it, the office is about eleven miles. Our office at 201 Broadway has its entrance on the first floor, and there is free street parking and metered parking on Broadway and on the side streets.
The search that brings Burlington residents here most often is disc injuries, and close behind it, pain that radiates into an arm or a leg. The two are related. A disc that has bulged or herniated presses on or irritates a nerve root as it leaves the spine, and the nerve reports pain wherever it ends: down the back of a leg, into a forearm, into the thumb side of a hand. The arm or leg itself examines normally. We wrote about this pattern in why arm or leg pain often starts in the spine. Long days at a Route 128 desk followed by a seated commute load the lumbar discs for hours at a stretch.
Dr. Bromberg examines the spine and tests the nerves, orders an MRI when the findings warrant it, and reviews the results himself. For most disc cases, treatment combines gentle adjustment, Active Release Technique and home exercise. Spinal decompression is available when conservative care has not been enough. Weakness that is getting worse, or any change in bowel or bladder control, needs the ER, not a chiropractor.
No referral is needed. We accept most major insurance plans and verify your specific benefits before treatment. Hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 8am to 1pm and 3pm to 6pm. Call (617) 494-1166.
