Debilitating Migraine Headaches

I suffered with debilitating migraine headaches for 10 years until I found Boston Specific Chiropractic. I was experiencing between 2 to 3 migraines per week, each one would ruin my day and make me go rest in a dark room. Finally after years of drugs and unsuccessful treatments, I found Dr. Trevens who explained to me that treating the symptoms that I was experiencing was just a band aid and that the only way to get better was to get to the cause of the problem. Once I started care with Dr. Trevens my condition began to improve. Not only are my migraines much less severe now, they have only occurred 1 time in the last 6 months. I am so grateful that my body has started working properly again and that I was given my life back.

Low Back Pain Injuries

I’m so glad I found Boston Specific Chiropractic 7 years ago. They’ve helped me recover from several low back injuries, and vastly improved my quality of life. Dr. Trevens and Dr. Wright really take the time to listen to you, explain what they’re doing, and monitor your progress. Their office staff is also always kind and professional. I recommend them highly! ˜

Boston Specific Chiropractic : Nothing like any other doctor I have been to!

Boston Specific Chiropractic is nothing like any other doctor I have been to!! Dr. Bill and his staff are courteous and professional. I fracture my tailbone last March, I had severe pain in my lower back and migraines that started after my fall. I couldn’t do anything without taking a pain pill!!! When I went to see Dr. Bill for the first time, he told me that my right leg was shorter than my left leg about 1 1/2 inches and my hip was twisted!!! I was happy that finally I knew what was happening to my body, I knew something was wrong and when I spoke about it with my primary care the only thing I got was pills. Dr. Bill put me at ease, he explained in details what went wrong with my body and what he was going to do to put my hip in place and have my body go back to normal.I know that the only reason I’m not disable is because of Dr. Bill and his magic touch. Thank you Boston Specific Chiropractic! ˜

My Body is well on its way to healing itself

My right leg has been slowly atrophying for the past 20 years, coincidentally after a pounding on my head by a large client, and then a pull on my neck resulting in whiplash from a small client in a behavior program where I worked . I went to my doctors, telling them what had happened and asking for help because I could feel that I was developing a limp. They couldn’t see it, and did not acknowledge that a problem had occurred until they saw me 10 years later for an EMG, and wondered what had happened to my leg. ( I tried to get help unsuccessfully for about 5 years, was on workman’s comp. for 3, and finally decided to ignore it as much as possible, because doctors (all types and specialties) could not help me. This accident created a limp, my leg looked concave on the right over the gastrox muscle and I had problems walking, sometimes resulting in falls. I asked many doctors for their opinions as to what I should do, and their reaction was “I don’t know why this is happening, but at this rate you will end up in a wheelchair.” I fell very badly in January of 2009, and began to lose the little ambulation ability that I had left as well as the ability to think clearly. When my dad suggested that I visit his chiropractor, I was extremely cynical but felt that I had nothing to lose. I saw Dr. Trevens twice the first week, and after the second visit, my thoughts began clearing, and I could feel myself walking evenly on both legs. Within a month my right leg began growing muscle where it had been atrophying, and the concave spot has filled out. Everything is not perfect yet, but my body is well on its way to healing itself, and the only difference was going to Dr. Trevens for upper cervical chiropractic techniques. I would recommend Dr. Trevens and upper cervical chiropractic techniques to be useful for everyone without reservation. ˜

Positive Changes for my life

I’ve been to about six or seven chiropractors, tons of massage therapists, and even two acupuncturists (I’m 46 years young), and I’m lucky I “found” this place! Although I’m not a doctor and can’t explain EXACTLY how or why I’m feeling better and better, I understand and believe the GOAL of what’s to be accomplished by Dr. Bill, and not only am I feeling better, but I’m getting better!! I’ve told my brother and other family members about this place (so has my wife, at work etc..) She knows that I’m a tough critic, and I MUST be feeling better, otherwise I would have found another place to go. My wife and 10-month-old daughter now go to see Dr. Bill Trevens. My wife also has been feeling better in so many ways and is so happy that she’s decided to go. I thank God that I’ve met Dr. Bill and his staff; they are also all so nice! Going here has really has changed my life into a more positive direction than ever before. ˜

Bulging Discs in my Neck

An appointment at Boston Specific Chiropractic is like visiting an old friend. They are professional, friendly and compassionate in how they treat their patients. Appointments are easy to get and easy to reschedule if necessary. I initially visited Boston Specific Chiropractic over ten years ago based on a referral from a friend. I was suffering from two bulging disks in my neck that were causing extreme pain, tingling and numbness in my shoulder, arm and hand. I was in pain 24 hours a day until I went to Dr. Trevens. After an initial x-ray and consultation I began my treatment plan and in three weeks I was pain free! Now I go to the office for periodic maintenance check ups to ensure that my neck remains healthy, maintains its full range of movement and I have no pain from nerve interference. My health insurance covers my checkups too! I highly recommend considering this chiropractic practice for a non-invasive solution to your health issues. ˜

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

This 49-year-old female suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome for approximately four years prior to seeking help from upper cervical care. She tried many therapies, including vitamins, herbs, and chelation with no results. She also suffered with neck pain and stiffness for four years as well. During her upper cervical chiropractic exam, an upper neck injury was discovered. When questioned as to traumatic events in her past that could have caused the neck injury, she recalled a fall down the stairs in which she fractured her tailbone. The fall preceded the onset of chronic fatigue by just a few months. After only one month of upper cervical care, the neck pain and fatigue were absent.

Chronic Fatigue, ADHD, Fibromyalgia, Headaches

This 11-year-old male suffered with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Headaches for many years. He experienced constant muscular pain throughout his body and had trouble participating in sports or exercise due to pain and muscle spasms. He couldn’t even wear a watch due to pain around his wrists. he frequently took hot baths or used a heating pad to relax his muscles. In addition, he was home-schooled due to frustration and difficulty in school. Headaches occurred twice per week, sometimes severe. His sleep was extremely irregular–he usually awakened every few hours. Frequently he would be in bed for 13 hours and still wake up fatigued. During this 11-year-old’s upper cervical chiropractic exam, an upper neck injury was found. When questioning his mother about the boy’s medical history, she recalled that he fell out of a grocery cart at age 3 months. After only 1 month of upper cervical care, all symptoms were greatly improved. He was able to participate in sports without pain; he no longer had muscle spasms; all headaches were gone; school work improved in that he had less frustration and better attention span; he slept through the night and had energy upon awakening; and all fatigue was gone.

Chronic Fatigue/Neck Pain/Headaches

This 56-year-old female suffered from chronic neck pain, headaches, and fatigue for years. She thought the problems may have started sometime after an auto accident she experienced 14 years before. During the accident, she was hit head-on and totaled her car. The pain bothered her on and off for years– sometimes on a daily basis and other times a month would go by without pain. She tried many practitioners such as massage therapists and chiropractors and received some relief but still the problem continued year after year. Finally, after struggling over a decade, she sought help from upper cervical chiropractic care. During her upper cervical chiropractic exam, an upper neck injury was found, most likely stemming from her auto accident. Unfortunately the injury had never been addressed by any of her previous practitioners. After only 3 upper cervical adjustments, her neck injury was corrected. All neck pain, headaches, and fatigue healed and never returned.
