Our Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience. Dr. Mallen will check the entire body, not just the spine.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Named for its developer, we conduct a thorough evaluation using full spine X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for accurate adjustments... read more»

Myofascial Release

We'll find tender areas where muscles and connective tissue are producing pain and restricted movement and gently release it. read more»

Disc Decompression

Our specially-equipped table will ever-so-slowly stretch your spine. And then relax it. Stretch. And relax. Excellent for disc cases. read more»

This is our Disc Decompression table.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Mallen know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.

Dr. Matthew  Asks some important questions of interest to East Boston residents - Chiropractor East Boston Dr. Matthew Asks...

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more East Boston parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a East Boston chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
