Dorchester to Kendall Square is one of the easier trips in the city, because the Red Line does all of it. Board at JFK/UMass, Savin Hill, Fields Corner, Shawmut or Ashmont and ride straight through to Kendall/MIT with no transfer. From Ashmont, count on about 20 minutes. Our office at 201 Broadway is a 6-minute walk up Broadway from the station, and the entrance is on the first floor. If you would rather drive, I-93 north to Leverett Circle and across the O'Brien Highway takes about 15 minutes outside rush hour. From the JFK Presidential Library on Columbia Point, that is roughly five miles. There is free street parking and metered parking on Broadway and the side streets.
The search that brings Dorchester residents to this page more than any other is neck pain and stiffness. A neck that will not turn fully when you check a blind spot on Morrissey Boulevard, a dull ache that spreads into the top of the shoulder, or stiffness that is worst after a day of looking down at a screen or a phone: these usually come from joints in the cervical spine that have stopped moving well and muscles that have tightened around them to compensate. Dr. Bromberg examines the neck, the upper back and the shoulders together, because they rarely fail alone.
Treatment is a combination of adjustment, with gentle options where they are called for, Active Release Technique for the tight tissue, and a short list of exercises you can do at home between visits. If headaches are part of the picture, mention it; the two are often connected. Numbness or weakness running into an arm changes what we look at first, so say so.
No referral is needed. We accept most major insurance plans and verify your specific benefits before treatment so you know what you owe. Hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 8am to 1pm and 3pm to 6pm. Walk-ins are welcome and same-day slots are held for patients in pain. Call (617) 494-1166.
By T: Red Line direct from JFK/UMass, Savin Hill, Fields Corner, Shawmut or Ashmont to Kendall/MIT, about 20 minutes with no transfer.

"The Active Release Technique on my shoulder was remarkable. Years of frozen shoulder pain resolved in about six sessions. I can finally sleep on my side again."
"I was in a car accident and thought I'd need surgery. Dr. Bromberg's rehab program got me back to normal without a single operation. The insurance paperwork was painless too."
