Brighton Spine and Wellness PC — Attraction in Boston

I have been under Dr Herba's care since the summer of 2022. When I came in I had an effective head weight (due to my forward neck posture) of over 20 lbs. The average weight of the skull and head is just 10.9lbs. Today, my eff. head weight is 12.9lbs.

The other day I was in my dance class practicing chest isolations. My instructor came around to check on my movement. She complimented my on my posture and walked away. I was a bit speechless. I have scoliosis and my right rib hump has, most of all, left me self conscious. But I can carry myself very well now and I can move better than ever and that is because of Dr Herba.

Dr. Herba trained with one of the best scoliosis doctors, Tony Nalda, in Florida where he previously worked. I feel blessed to have crossed paths with Matt. He is awesome at what he does and he loves his job and serving others.

The pain I used to feel in my neck and mid thoracic area has been greatly reduced by Matt's program. I used to feel like my bones were rubbing together in my neck and sometimes would experience sharp pinching or needle like pain. I see the doctor every other week for maybe 15 minutes. First, I complete 3 basic stretches to loosen on the lower back and gets nutrients flowing in and around the lower spine. Second, I do 40 reps of a neck decompression exercise. Third, the doctor sees me for my adjustment.

Evaluations are fun. I've never had a chiropractor use technology other than pen and paper to evaluate my progress. The doctor's assistant, Melle, sends me my written evaluations and body scans once they are completed. There is also a neural efficiency index called Corescore. One of the things it shows is how well the body is adapting to everyday stressors. It's a lot to take in but Matt is happy to go over the science so ask as many questions as you want. Also, he has incorporating light therapy now. Ask him about it.

Like I said, Melle is the assistant and she has been so helpful with the administration side of business. She is friendly and highly responsive via text. I get my doctor's sick note or a referral form in a timely manner. Billing related things are resolved over text. She communicates very well about personal or holiday office hours so I can plan my care accordingly. Melle and Matt are a good team !

If you made it this far, I commend you! It was a long post. If you are in pain like I was, give Dr Herba a try.

Thank you for reading and wish you the best on your...

After two weeks with Chiropractor Dr. Matt at Brighton Spine and Wellness I can say it has been a miraculous change in my life. I didn't even know my body was in such great trouble and terrible inner shape. 2 weeks ago, I reluctantly reached out for Chiropractic help. I can now do exercises that will change the course of my life to perfect health again. I am no longer in excruciating and throbbing pain. I can sleep through the night without waking up in aching level 10 pain. I trust Dr. Matt because he genuinely cares, and takes the time to make sure you will be healed in the long run, not a quick fix that falls apart down the road.. And I am blessed to have Dr. Matt as my therapist, because he, with God's hand is healing me one step at a time. It truly has been a miracle and that is the truth. Rosalind Dawson

Update: August 2023 I am now able to go to the YMCA for Zumba and exercise classes because of Dr. Matt's continual treatments and encouragement. My spine is in its proper position and I feel great!

Continual sessions are keeping my spine in proper alignment through my exercise and dog walking duties.

Dr. Matt is very talented, professional, and knowledgeable for all your situations and casualties. In just telling him your situation Dr. Matt will also give you insightful information that can help you heal naturally, holistically, and physically thru special home bound exercises.

Dr Herba was able to treat and successfully correct years of damage to the spinal structure -starting with the neck and the lumbar spine. Combining years of experience treating Olympic athletes along with cutting edge use of a Class 4 laser (the same one used by our own Boston Red Sox) Dr. Herba was also able to bring my leg pain from a disc herniation down from a 8 to a now steady 5 and hopefully dropping as we continue the program he designed. When I first went in I was clear-being able to measure results is all that matters with any type of treatment. His level of knowledge and skill are honestly unmatched by anyone I've been to for any kind of back or neck pain. Not only does he treat the symptoms but what matters the most at least for me and I suspect to anyone reading over this is to understand- why and how we got here. Unlike your "typical' Chiropractor- he will not simply twist and turn you and tell you to take a number and do what everybody else in the room full of other patients are doing. Instead he will take the time to listen to you- answer your questions and design a specific custom program which adresses the root causes, reduces symptoms and shows results. If you are looking to reduce nerve pain, back pain, neck pain and even IBS through the use of class 4 laser-I highly recommend him as a...
