Newton Chiropractic & Wellness Centre

I stumbled upon a GROUPON deal for 2 visits and decided to give it a try. I’d never seen a Chiropractor before. I met Dr Burke during my 2 visits and I must say that she and her staff are just great. Dr. Burke patiently listens and explains what adjustments she would be doing. After two visits, I have felt some relief already. Hydromassage which is also included in the package is just awesome. I’d recommend it to anyone who has never tried it before. The office is very clean and staff is very friendly. Overall, this centre deserves 5 stars.

Superlatives all the way! Unique non cracking type of chiropractic yet VERY effective. Dr. Burke is kind, industrious and very effective. Massage therapists are superb. Administrative staff are tremendous.

Want to feel violated and uncomfortable? Nick Penzarella is the guy for you. There is little professionalism during the entire session. Results of test and analysis (that are immediately printed and available) are not reviewed with you unless you return. You will be distracted by nonsense babble while your questions are never fulfilled with a medical a scientific response. I could not get out of there fast enough.

I am in complete disbelief of all the positive reviews that I have read here. I have seen about 3 chiropractors over past 6 – 7 years, and all that I have seen prior to this visit were helpful. There is nothing wrong with my back or neck, I just like to get adjustments 2 – 4 times per year because I lift weights regularly (4 – 5 times per week for the past 15+ years) and I would like to know everything in my back is properly aligned. I saw a Groupon for this wellness center and figured it was a good deal to «get my back cracked» and get a hydro-​massage. I scheduled an appointment for 12:45 pm on a Sunday. I arrived at 12:30 to fill out any necessary paperwork. I waited in the reception area until 1:30 until the chiropractor would see me. Right away he told me that he isn’t the traditional type of chiropractor and there would be no «adjustment» of any kind. I was disappointed. Then, he proceeded to inform me how in United States it is standard to use 65 lbs (I believe he said 65 lbs) of force to deliver a baby from the mother’s womb and because of this many or most of us walk around dealing with the trauma our entire lives. This got my antenna up. I do not have a medical background, but I do have a background in electrical and computer engineering, none the less it seemed a bit suspicious to me that most of 300 million people were delivered incorrectly or in traumatic fashion. He then proceeded to take a series of measurements with his equipment (most of the results of which he did not go over). However, after one of the readings he said that the device measured the conductivity of my spine. I proceeded to ask «what are the units in which it measures conductivity?» He did not have an answer, just said it says «Good, Bad or Average.» I told him that conductivity is the inverse of resistance (measured in Ohms) and that it is measured in Siemens, or Siemens per unit length. To measure conductivity of my spine, he would need to connect metal rods to the 2 ends of my spine directly, insulate it from any other tissue (so the current travels ONLY through that medium and not any other conductive material around my spine) and pass a current between those two points. This would be quite intrusive and painful and I have no idea if medically that is even valuable. Simply placing 2 sensors on the skin of my back (as he did with his device) would not measure anything of the sort. He offered to show me a brochure for his machine. I read the brochure, NOT once did it even mention anything about conductivity of any kind. It talked about determining «muscle activity» analogous to heart electrocardiogram (EKG). Again I am skeptical of a value of these reading because a heart is a unique involuntary muscle which engages regularly to pump blood unlike the muscles in your back, which are not flexing with regularity when you’re just standing there with your back relaxed. However, I will say, I would have to believe in flying unicorns before I believe anything he said about «spine conductivity» honestly that just sounds insulting. There are several other more subjective reasons I did not like about my visit, but overall I came away feeling that the chiropractor was dishonest. It felt to me like he attempted to find some anatomical imbalances (which is often normal for a human being to have, none of us have identical sized left and right feet or hands, it doesn’t necessarily make you ill if you can turn your head 5 degrees more to the right then left) and then try to convince the patient that this is the cause of any pain or discomfort he/​she is experiencing. I came away feeling skeptical about this establishment to say the least.

I purchased a groupon last fall in a final attempt to fix my chronic back pain. I had never tried chiropractic and was very skeptical as I had tried many other avenues to fix the pain. I started seeing Dr. Penzarella and after a few visits became amazed with the results! He was very informative about what was causing my pain and how to fix it, I found his approach to be very professional and I am now pain free! What a blessing! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends! The women at the front desk are also extremely friendly and helpful. The only part of my experience I did not fully enjoy was the hydro massage, however others seem to really like it so it could be that I am very sensitive.

I’ve been a network chiropractic fan since 2001. Moving to the Boston area two years ago, I thought I’d never find someone as great at my NYC chiro. But I did — Dr. Julie and her entire team are AMAZING. They are knowledgeable, approachable, gifted doctors who can tackle any issue and achieve results. Having the flexibility within the practice to go to Dr. Julie, Dr. John or Dr. Nick has been a bonus as each individual style is a bit different but effective. The addition of acupuncturist Thuraya, is wonderful — she’s a gifted healer and her work compliments the chiropractic work. I have been a part of the practice now for just over a year and feel great, take less medicines for routine headaches or muscle aches, and do not get sick! To those unfamiliar with network, I recommend giving it 3 — 5 visits to really feel the difference. But I’m sure you will be glad that you did.

After purchasing the Groupon for 2 visits, I was hoping that the hydro massage included would help with my neck pain. I didn’t know much about chiropractic before visiting so I didn’t really know what to expect from the adjustments. Little did I know, there were way more problems with my back than just the neck pain I was feeling. Several months and 30+ visits later, coming to Newton Chiropractic was one of the best decisions of my life.
I work as a lab tech so sitting at a hood all day is extremely taxing on the neck/​back. When I first started with Dr. Nick Penzarella, he understood exactly what I was going through and what the best treatment for me was. His knowledge of the spine is incredible and he can pinpoint your problem quickly even if it differs with every visit. He’s very encouraging and patient if you don’t really understand being on the table at first.
I also did some work with Dr. Burke and Dr. Coleman in the middle and they were outstanding as well. I went from visiting twice a week to once a month, and as a result this is the best I’ve felt physically in 3 years. If your back or neck is hurting then this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed!

No more migraines! I went from taking medications and ibuprofen almost daily, to not needing it at all. After having a torn disc, I can now go to the gym again, go grocery shopping by myself, and drive for long periods. This type of chiropractic feels SO good!
Under the care of Newton Chiropractic and Wellness, my once tense body has started to finally relax after years of trauma, without adding to the problem. Other kinds of more forceful chiropractic always sent me home in more pain or with no improvement, wasting my life in bed with a heating pad. I tried everything from Reiki, forceful adjustments, ultrasound, injections, psychotherapy, and physical therapy… Network Spinal Analysis chiropractic was the one powerful key to be able to show up for myself and start moving forward.
I enjoy many of the services they offer including but not limited to chiropractic, massage, hydromassage, antioxidant scan, high quality supplements, and the ionic detox footbath (you’d never believe all of the ick that this state of the art soak will pull out of your body). I would recommend this place for anyone, of any age, to treat any condition. They have great specials, so skip that romantic dinner or concert you were saving for, and treat yourself to better health. Large private parking lot, close to public transportation, and welcoming staff in a quiet location overlooking Echo Bridge.

Shocked by all the positive reviews. Dr Pen was irritating, talked to me like I had a 5^th grade education (I have a degree from Harvard Law School) and patronizing. Technigues seemed like quack chiropractics, including placing hand in the edge of my butt crack. Then charged me 35 dollars (when I usually have 0 dollars due as co-​pay) when they were suppose to take UHC from the website but at the end I find out they are out of network with them.
Will not be returning.

I bought an Amazon Local deal to try Newton Chiropractic & Wellness Center for a simple realignment after having a baby. 2 weeks after making the purchase I ended up having an episode of sciatic nerve pain and could barely walk. Not only did they get me in quickly, they were extremely helpful & friendly. The staff are really personable. I seriously am blown away at the talent Dr. Nick Penzarella has. In only 2 sessions my sciatic nerve pain was gone. I highly recommend setting yourself up for an alignment with Dr. Penzarella. You seriously cannot go wrong.

Since I started seeing Dr. Nick Penzarella I have been AMAZED with the results. He is an extremely talented and knowledgeable doctor and has not only relieved the pain in my lower back but has dramatically improved my quality of life. His care has helped me with headaches, menstrual cramps, having restful sleep, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and has even eased my flu symptoms when I’ve been sick. Dr. Penzarella takes the time to listen to my needs, personalizes my care based on the information the I provide him, and explains the care in a way that I can easily understand. He also teaches a stress management seminar at the practice that I found very helpful. I highly recommend him to anyone!
I have also seen Dr. Julie Burke and Dr. John Coleman and they are both amazing as well! You can’t go wrong at Newton Chiropractic & Wellness Centre — the place has a great vibe!

Visiting NCWC was my first foray into chiropractic care. This past Spring, I suffered intense lower back pain (as a result of hunching over my laptop while engrossed in an online course hours at a time) that interfered with my daily activities. When the discomfort did not subside after several days, I became concerned and went to see my primary care provider, who essentially told me there was nothing he could do for me. Subsequently, I came across the Groupon for NCWC and gave it a go. My initial appointment was scheduled with Dr. Nick Penzarella who thoroughly explained to me the functioning of the spine and Network Spinal Analysis. He then patiently offered to answer any questions that I had regarding treatment. I continued on with my care beyond the two Groupon visits because I was quite anxious to resume my normal activities. My experience was not only healing but also educational. I learned so much about myself from Dr. Penzarella and feel grateful to have crossed paths with him. Additionally, he led a stress reduction workshop in which he shared some fantastic tips. I highly recommend NCWC!

I can’t say enough about this place. I was very close to getting surgery on a herniated disc and decided to try one last option based on a friend’s recommendation. I’m so thankful that he led me to Newton Chiropractic Wellness Centre. They have 3 skilled chiropractors and I have been treated by each one. They have drastically improved my health. I went from someone who was in excruciating pain– walking crooked– throwing my back out by simply bringing in groceries, to not having any of these issues. The staff is wonderful as well. Just an overall great experience.

This is a group of wonderful, caring, and effective chiropractors who are there to improve your life in every way! They have helped me with my neck pain, chronic back problems, and even helped me find a way to get rid of my foot pain from working 2 jobs. I’m not someone who enjoys going to the doctor, I usually put it off forever if I can, but I go to NCWC every week without fail, because I can FEEL the difference they are helping me make in my body. I’m standing straighter, taller, and am in less pain in only a few weeks. I will continue going and I can’t wait to feel even healthier!

I learned about the practice from their newest staff doctor, who assured me I would have a great experience, despite I had no idea about what I was showing up for! But I have an open mind, and an open heart, and between the water jet massage table, the experience in the adjusting room, with several of the healers and the warm customer service I received from the staff overall, I recommend anyone with a spine check them out! I still fee great today, and can’t wait to visit again!

After the Unilocal 5 star reviews, I purchased the GROUPON coupons for 2 visits and surprisingly I find no reason to DEDUCT any of star from the review. I met Dr Burke and she was one of awesome doctor. chiropractor in MA. She patiently listens and explain very precisely what she would be doing. After the SPINE readjustment, I felt like a deep mediation and complete peace and relaxation. The office is very clean and staff is very friendly. It;s one of the best center in MA.

Update: just had my second massage with Vanessa — phenomenal again!!! You are seriously missing out if you don’t give her massage a try.
TWO WORDS: HOLY COW. I had the very best massage of my entire life (and I am a massage junkee) with Vanessa at NCWC! I will definitely be back for another soon! The rates are extremely reasonable!
For Chiropactic, both Dr Burke and Dr Coleman are great!
Office is very calming and the variety of services offered promote total wellness at very reasonable prices

I had purchased a Groupon for three visits. It was beyond my expectations. Dr. Burke is a miracle worker. She had made me feel instantly aligned with just a few touches. I feel lucky to have discovered this place. It is for sure a place I would visit on a regular basis for health benefits. She also holds free workshops to help educate us and share her knowledge and health secrets. Even without the Groupon the prices of the services and work you can get here are more than reasonable with Dr. Burke’s skills and experience. They have packages that will bring the prices lower as well and a staff that helps check whether your insurance covers their service. The place is comfortable, clean and professional. I can’t wait to visit again.

When you walk in the staff is very welcoming. At my initial consultation I was talked through the whole step process of what was going on. I would recommend this place to my friends (there is a groupon which is how I found out about the wellness center!)

I cannot say enough about Doctors Burke and Coleman. When I first met Dr. Burke 2 years ago, I was in profound pain resulting from 2 herniated discs in my neck. I had tried painkillers, injections, PT, acupuncture, but nothing helped. Newton Chiropractic helped me avoid detrimental surgery and allowed my body to heal naturally. I feel that they treat the whole person and help people live the best lives they can. I feel well taken-​care-​of in their very capable hands and recommend their practice to anyone suffering from chronic pain.
