A Note of Thanks
Dear Dr. Friedman,
I had a recent follow-up appointment with my Primary Care Physician on Friday, February 3, 2012. He was absolutely thrilled with the progress I am making at your office.
As you know, I had 2 previous lumbar fusions and a cervical fusion just this past August with noi improvement of my paon or posture. Prior to the last cervical fusion, I had many, many injections under anesthesia at Union Hospital with absolutely no improvement in my posture and very little improvement in my pain. I continued to be "hunched over" like someone in their 90's.
After 3 weeks of treatment with you, I am able to stand up and my neck doesn't look so twisted! People don't stop me on teh street anymore and ask if I am "ok" or if I "need help"! I am getting straighter day by day and feeling a lot better. I am getting out of the house more and I am back to walking the beach every day, weather permitting. I truly wish I thought of trying you sooner. Maybe there wouldn't have been so much wasted time.
Thank you, sincerely, for all you have doen to help me. I look forward to continue to work with you. Maybe I will be back to running the beach this Spring!
Again, thank you for all of your help.
Respectfully,
Kathleen Larrabee, Lynn, MA
I am able to walk without staggering or wobbling.
I was first treated by Dr. Friedman for a lower back injury just before Christmas 2009. The injury resulted from a significant fall on black ice 2 days before Christmas. Dr. Friedman came back to his office on Christmas Eve to give me a second treatment. While I was mighty uncomfortable I was able to participate with my family in our planned celebrations. Within a week I was able to go about my regular schedule. Over several weeks the problem resolved and I have no lasting effects from the injury. I then consulted him for a neck/balance problem that I had for a very long time. His treatment consisted of both in-office and a home exercise program (amongst other things). I am able to walk without staggering or wobbling. This is a great feeling because I had visions of having to use a cane or a walker in my future. Most recently he treated me for symptoms of fibromyalgia. Before embarking on treatment he ruled out any medical reason for the condition. Today, I am symptom free. I have been very pleased with Dr. Friedman’s professionalism, ability to relate on a personal level and his skill level for providing effective treatment along with that of his office staff. Most of all Dr. Friedman LISTENS!

I would recommend Dr. Friedman to anyone
I have been coming to see Dr. Friedman for many years now and highly recommend his practice. Dr. Friedman takes the time to detail the root of the problem and what steps he can take to help with the situation. Although he has a solid clinical background, his approach is very much people oriented and you get the sense not only is he highly capable, but he genuinely cares about his patients. Most importantly, what Dr. Friedman does works and he can be trusted to help with the problems that come up. I would recommend Dr. Friedman to anyone seeking chiropractic care and seeking advice on how to help with their pains.

I refuse to visit another Chiropractor
I originally started to visit Dr. Friedman 11 years ago for a sports related jaw injury that was affecting my neck. I have since been visiting Dr. Friedman both for maintenance adjustments and various other reasons. Most recently during my pregnancy I had dislocated my ribs and was in excruciating pain, he was able to help give me much needed relief. After giving birth to my child, he helped me with a vertigo (dizziness) problem that I was having through a series of adjustments and modalities. Although I do not live as close to Dr. Friedman's office as I did when I originally started to visit him, I refuse to visit another chiropractor as I have grown to trust Dr. Friedman's experience. I recommend him to friends and family on a regular basis.

A much different approach
Dr. Mark Friedman takes a much different approach to treating his patients than most other chiropractors I've seen. His philosophy and practice is much more comprehensive and thorough. He is truly committed to his patients well being and not just concerned with short term "quick fix" adjustments. He spends time educating his patients as well as offering guidance and explanations. I've seen an incredible improvement in my posture, flexibility and overall well being.

I wish that I came to you years ago!
Dear Dr. Friedman,
I am writing to thank you for helping me to recover from the chronic back pain that has been a problem since 1995. As you know, I have tried many different modalities including; acupuncture, physical therapy (several times), multiple medications and yoga. Nothing seemed to help me for more than a few days. I was extremely skeptical and anxious to try chiropractic therapies but desperate for relief. Now, I wish that I came to you all those years ago! Within 5 weeks of adjustments I finally felt better. From my very first visit you patiently explained each adjustment and rationale. You also gave me the support I needed to continue with the treatments long enough to see the improvements.
I am happy to report that I am no longer living in pain. No longer wondering what activities I am going to have to sit out because of my back pain and its limitations it forced upon me. I am active and now very comfortable in all my daily activities!
Thank You, Sincerely,
Carrie Roderick
I found Dr. Friedman after much of my own research
I was diagnosed a few years ago with Spasmodic Torticollis also known as Cervical Dystonia. I have seen many doctors and had procedures such as botox injections, trigger point injections, physical therapy and prescription pain medication as well as anti-spasmodic medication. This problem was consuming my life, but I was not going to give up hope to find help.
I happened upon Dr. Friedman's website, so I called and left a message at his office. Dr. Friedman almost immediately called me back. He sounded pleasant and personable, and his voice sounded caring and compassionate. I'll never forget what he said to me, "Karen, I can't promise you anything, but let's set up an appointment and take a look". At my first visit, we discussed the problem, what my symptoms were and then he examined me. After the examination he explained that he saw something that he thought he could work with.
He gave me an adjustment and instantly I had relief for the first time in years. Tears streamed down my face, I could not believe that the pain was gone. That day did not cure me, but after a month of treatment I was 70% better and every day feel stronger and more confident. It's amazing, 2 months ago I couldn't reach out with my right arm without excruciating pain and now I can do it without hesitation!
Dr. Friedman's unique treatment has given me my life back. To me he is a God send.
Thank you Dr. Friedman for your wonderful gift for helping others who suffer in chronic pain. Second for your personal attention, and outstanding bedside manner.
Eternally Grateful,
Karen Kirby Soulard
Help for my headaches
When I first started to see Dr. Friedman, I hoped he could help me with my headaches. Little did I know, there were many other issues he could resolve. I was struggling more and more with mental fogginess, right hand coordination, difficulty holding conversations and writing was becoming nearly impossible. Dr Friedman explained these symptoms were all connected with the left, analytical side of my brain. We focused first on resolving these issues, before attacking my almost constant migraines. Thanks to Dr Friedman I can now hold conversations with ease and write as I used to. I am thrilled to once again crochet and knit with pleasure and ease. I have been nearly migraine free for months. I feel as though I’m getting my life back.
