Medford has a direct train to the office now. The Green Line Extension from Medford/Tufts or Ball Square reaches Lechmere in about twelve minutes, and 201 Broadway is a ten-minute walk from there, so plan on roughly twenty-five minutes door to door. Bus 96 to Davis and the Red Line to Kendall/MIT is the alternative. Driving, Route 28 south from Medford Square, the Fellsway and then the McGrath and O'Brien highways, puts you in East Cambridge in about twelve minutes. Park for free on the street or at a meter on Broadway and the side streets; the entrance is on the first floor.
Whiplash after a car accident is the condition Medford residents search for most often before they find us. That is not surprising for a city sitting where I-93, Route 16 and the Fellsway cross. Stop-and-go traffic on I-93 south through Medford produces rear-end collisions at low speed, the kind that leave the car driveable and the neck sore two days later. The head snaps forward and back faster than the muscles can brace, straining the small joints and ligaments of the cervical spine. Our whiplash page explains why the symptoms often start late and what the first weeks of treatment look like.
Dr. Bromberg has practiced in Cambridge for more than forty years and evaluates every patient himself at every visit. The first appointment is a thorough orthopedic and neurological exam, an imaging referral if anything warrants it, and usually a first gentle treatment the same day. Care is paced to the injury: gentle mobilization early, then adjustments and Active Release Technique as the tissue settles, with exercises to restore the motion you lost.
Tufts students and I-93 commuters also bring us plenty of ordinary neck and back pain with no accident involved, and the approach is the same: find the cause, treat it, and measure the progress honestly. Same-day slots are held for patients in pain, walk-ins are welcome during hours, and no referral is needed in Massachusetts. Call (617) 494-1166.
If you are looking for a car accident chiropractor in Medford, here is what matters first. Massachusetts is a no-fault state, which means the Personal Injury Protection coverage on your own auto policy pays for reasonable medical care, including chiropractic, no matter who caused the crash. The statutory minimum is $8,000 per person. You do not need to wait for the other driver's insurer to accept responsibility before getting treated. Medford's crash geography is I-93, especially the backups at the Route 16 interchange and the merges heading south toward the city, and the Fellsway, where the long straightaways past the Fells and the rotary at Wellington Circle produce both rear-end and side-impact collisions.
Whiplash symptoms are often delayed. Neck stiffness, headaches and shoulder pain commonly appear a day or two after the accident, so we advise an evaluation within 72 hours even if you felt fine at the scene. Dr. Bromberg examines you himself, documents the findings and every treatment visit in the form your insurer or attorney needs, and paces care to the injury.
