Newman Chiropractic is a corrective chiropractic clinic in Salisbury, MA. Instead of visit-based adjusting that chases symptoms, we find the structural cause of your problem and correct it with a program that combines hands-on adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression, Class IV laser, and focused shockwave, tracked by your Spinal Health Score. Care is out-of-network, your first visit is $97, and programs are priced from standard insurance rates with a 15-25% courtesy applied.
Our approach
How is corrective care different from a quick adjustment?
Most chiropractic care is visit-based. You come in, you get adjusted, you feel better for a while, and then you are back when it flares again. Corrective care is different. We find what is actually causing the problem, build a program with a clear start and finish, and measure the change so the relief holds, not just for a day.
Your goal determines your program. Some goals take a few weeks, some take a few months, and we tell you which before you decide anything. Whatever the issue, we treat the cause behind it, from chronic back pain and sciatica to the full range of conditions we treat.
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
How does the Spinal Health Score work?
Every patient gets a measurable score from 0 to 100 at their first visit, and we update it as your care moves along. It combines your X-rays, posture, range of motion, neurological testing, and functional movement into one number.
If the number is not moving, your program changes. It is how we keep care honest and show you real progress, instead of just asking how you feel. No other local practice tracks care this way.
Methods & techniques
The techniques Dr. Jeff uses
One size does not fit all. We match the technique to your body and your case, including gentle, low-force options if hands-on adjusting makes you nervous.
Diversified adjustments
The classic hands-on adjustment. A precise, quick thrust that restores motion to a restricted joint, one at a time.
Activator Methods
A gentle, instrument-assisted adjustment with no twisting or bending. Ideal if hands-on adjusting makes you uneasy.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
A doctor-controlled, hands-on technique on the specialized Cox table that eases pressure on the disc.
McKenzie Method
Specific movements matched to your problem that you also do at home, so you can manage and prevent flare-ups yourself.
Graston Technique
Stainless-steel instruments that break up scar tissue and soft tissue adhesions so the body can heal them.
Dry needling
Thin needles into trigger points to create a controlled response that speeds recovery. Different from acupuncture.
Digital X-ray
On-site imaging viewed in seconds, so your care is built around what your spine is actually showing us.
Built into one program
We combine the right techniques for your case, then track the result with your Spinal Health Score.
Your first visit
What happens at your first visit?
Your first visit is $97. The evaluation runs across two visits, with a dedicated case review in between, so nothing gets rushed and your recommendations are built on real findings.
Visit one: your exam and your story
We start with what is going on, what you have already tried, and what you want to get back to. Then a real exam of how your spine moves, with digital X-rays when they are needed.
Behind the scenes: your case review
Between visits, the team reviews your findings in detail, so what we recommend is based on your data and not a quick guess in the room.
Visit two: your answer and your path
You will know exactly what is going on, what it will take to correct it, and what the investment looks like, before you decide anything. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that too.
Common questions about chiropractic care
What is corrective chiropractic care?
It is care built to fix the underlying cause of your problem, not just relieve the symptom for a while. We start with a two-visit evaluation, build a program with a clear goal and finish line, and track the change with your Spinal Health Score so you can see real correction, not just temporary relief.
Do I have to get my neck or back cracked?
No. Hands-on adjusting is one option, but we also use gentle, low-force techniques like Activator Methods and the Cox table. We match the technique to you, and we only do what you are comfortable with and consent to.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes, when it is done by a trained doctor who examines and images first. We take digital X-rays so we can choose the safest, most specific approach for your spine, and we screen carefully before any program begins.
Do you take insurance?
We are out-of-network, which means we do not bill insurance for your care. Our programs are priced from standard insurance rates with a 15-25% courtesy applied, and every program is priced upfront so there is no open-ended tab. We provide superbills for additional out-of-network reimbursement, and we accept HSA, FSA, and CareCredit. Your first visit is $97.
How long does care take?
Most corrective programs run around three months, customized to your condition and your goal. Some people need less, some need more. We measure your progress along the way so the program is based on what your body is actually doing.
Do you take X-rays?
Yes, on site with digital X-ray, often the same day as your first exam. X-ray is not required to begin, but it helps us be safe and specific and helps you see the real source of the problem.
