From Saugus, the drive is the practical choice. Route 1 south to Route 16 west through Everett, then Route 28 south across the river into East Cambridge, takes about 18 minutes outside rush hour. Public transit is possible but slow: Bus 429 or 430 to Malden Center, the Orange Line to North Station, the Green Line to Lechmere, and a 10-minute walk from there. From the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site on Central Street, the office is about ten miles. We are at 201 Broadway, with the entrance on the first floor and free street parking and metered parking on Broadway and the side streets.
The search that brings Saugus residents here most often is car accidents, and the injury behind nearly all of them is whiplash. The Route 1 strip, with its closely spaced plazas, left turns across traffic and sudden braking at the lights, produces rear-end and side-impact collisions at speeds that bend bumpers and strain necks. The head whips back and forward faster than the muscles can brace, and the small joints and ligaments of the cervical spine take the load. Stiffness, headaches, pain between the shoulder blades and trouble turning the head usually show up a day or two later rather than at the scene.
Dr. Bromberg evaluates the neck and the rest of the spine, refers for X-ray or MRI when the findings call for it, and treats with gentle adjustment, Active Release Technique and a graded return to normal movement through our auto accident rehab program. He treats every patient personally at every visit, and every visit is documented. Severe pain, numbness or weakness in the arms, or any loss of consciousness after a crash belongs in the ER first.
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, with same-day slots held for patients in pain. Call (617) 494-1166.
A collision on Route 1, at one of the plaza entrances along the Saugus strip or at the Route 99 or Lynn Fells Parkway interchanges, is handled the same way as any crash in the state. Massachusetts is a no-fault state. Personal Injury Protection on your own auto policy covers reasonable medical care, including chiropractic, regardless of who was at fault, with a statutory minimum of $8,000 per person. You do not need to wait on the other driver's insurer, and you do not need a referral. Our PIP and auto insurance page explains how the claim works.
Whiplash symptoms are often delayed. A neck that felt fine at the scene can be stiff and painful a day or two later, with headaches and pain between the shoulder blades, which is why we advise an evaluation within 72 hours. Dr. Bromberg examines the neck and spine, orders imaging when the exam calls for it, and documents every visit in treatment notes your insurer or attorney can use. Read about whiplash and our auto accident rehab program, or call (617) 494-1166 for a same-day appointment.
