Charlestown is one of the closest neighborhoods to the office, and the quickest way over is to drive. Rutherford Avenue to the Gilmore Bridge drops you in East Cambridge in about eight minutes, and there is free street parking and metered spots on Broadway and the side streets by 201 Broadway. The entrance is on the first floor. If you would rather skip the car, the Orange Line from Community College to North Station, then the Green Line to Lechmere and a ten-minute walk, takes about twenty-five minutes. Bus 93 from Sullivan Square does the same job.
Sports injuries are the condition Charlestown residents search for most often before they find us, which fits the neighborhood. A run along the Harborwalk past the Navy Yard and then up Monument Avenue to the Bunker Hill Monument is a daily route for a lot of people, and that hill is steep enough to flare a hamstring, a calf or a knee that was already complaining. The CrossFit gyms fill up after work, and Olympic lifts, kipping pull-ups and heavy wall balls produce a predictable list: shoulder impingement, low back strain from a rounded deadlift, and hip and knee pain from high-volume squatting. Our sports injury page covers how we sort those out.
Dr. Bromberg has practiced in Cambridge for more than forty years and examines every patient himself at every visit. The first appointment is an orthopedic exam to identify the structure that is actually injured, not just the spot that hurts, followed by a plan built from adjustments, Active Release Technique for the tissue that is stuck, and specific exercises that keep you training rather than sitting out the season. If something needs imaging, we refer you to an area center and review the results with you.
Same-day slots are held for patients in pain, walk-ins are welcome during hours, and no referral is needed in Massachusetts. Most major insurance plans are accepted, and we verify your benefits before treatment. Call (617) 494-1166.
