What We Do

OUR MISSION

The mission of Active Recovery Boston is to be your soft tissue injury experts. If you are looking for a chiropractor in Franklin, MA, you should know that our goal is not only to treat your injury, but also educate you in the process. We want you to know why you became injured. We want you to understand your treatment process. And we want you to have all the knowledge necessary to prevent your injury from returning.

For example, you have pain on the outside of your knee. Instead of simply saying, “You have iliotibial band syndrome,” we may say, “Your knee stabilizers are weak because you have a sciatic nerve entrapment. This weakness is causing your iliotibial band to work harder, producing pain.” The problem doesn’t begin at the iliotibial band. It ends there. If we only treat the end of the problem we won’t be fixing it. Our mission is to fix your injury from the source.

Soft tissue injuries are generally poorly understood, misdiagnosed and mistreated. Soft tissue involves the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. Soft tissue injuries lead to headaches, back pain, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, iliotibial band syndrome, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis, just to name a few.

Despite the vast prevalence of soft tissue problems, the healthcare system has not made them a priority. We are changing this for the better. We understand soft tissue and know how to diagnose soft tissue problems. We integrate pertinent information gathered in your history and exam to form a “story” about your injury instead of merely “labeling” it.
