Devita Chiropractic Office

Love this place. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Both Dr. Tom and Dr. Jamal are extremely skilled and efficient in the Activator method. And they truly care about their patients.

After many years of wearing a heel lift, Drs. Tom and Jamal resolved my unbalanced hips within three months. I have less back pain and more mobility than before. I’ve been seeing them regularly for a year and can’t believe my progress. All of the staff is friendly. I highly recommend this practice.

I am a 60 year old woman and have thyroid disease that caused me to have osteoporosis at the age of 56. My mom suffered horribly with osteoporosis and back pain and back deformity; I was frightened that I would go through the same progression as she did. With thyroid and osteoporosis treatment, I have reversed the osteoporosis and now have minor osteopenia. I was starting to suffer nerve pinches of pain, fairly significant stiffness, and lack of mobility. I was completely skeptical of having a chiropractor help. After a couple of months of treatment (now only once every 6 weeks), I feel 10 years younger — no nerve pinches, insignificant stiffness, and improved mobility. I am SO happy a friend of mine referred me to Dr. Tom and Dr. Jamal!

Both Dr. DeVita’s helped me after I fell, and then after I fell again, hurting my shoulder.
I have seen chiropractors before, but I was living in a new area. The got me out of pain after a few treatments. Then I fell again — that took a little longer to heal and I now have 80% mobility in my shoulder and it’s getting better.
Not everyone responds to chiropractor, but not the case with me. I also liked the fact that when one couldn’t see you, the other could. They both listen carefully to your pain level and what’s been going on.
Their office staff is pleasant and their office hours are flexible. They’ve even squeezed me in on the same day.

Although DeVita was recommended by my husband, I found their treatment to be not only ineffective, but I am now in more pain than I was in than when I started 3 months ago.
It seems, if their «activator» treatment works, it works, but if not, they have nothing else. At a recent visit, after treatment with Dr. Jamal, I could barely walk out of the office or sit in my car. For the following week I was in terrible pain, and my feet were tingling. In my next (and last) visit, I told Dr. Jamal about this and he expressed some concern, but did nothing different. I got the same 8 minute treatment I got every other visit. When I got off the table, I reported I was still in pain and my foot was tingling. He shrugged his shoulders and said, «Hopefully that will work itself out» (It hasn’t, but after 10 days without treatment, I am in somewhat less pain)
Dr. Tom’s response to reports of continued pain were no more productive, first blaming my mattress, and then suggesting I take hot showers in the morning (which didn’t help). He gave me exercises to do that made my back feel worse, and when I told him that, he looked at how I was doing them to assure they were being done correctly, and then told me not to do them if they hurt. Again — they seem to have only 1 strategy of addressing back pain, and express good natured non-​concern if it’s not working.
I have made contact with a chiropractor who does more traditional chiropractic work

I was skeptical about how useful a chiropractor would be for my lower back pain, but I have great insurance so I figured, what the heck? Dr. Jamal has done WONDERS — he’s extremely skilled and has great bedside manner.
The office is great with having evening and weekend hours and fitting me in at the last minute as well. I’m super pleased with DeVita Chiropractic.

I’m a fan of chiropractic, as it has always helped me manage my headaches and stiffness in neck/​shoulders/​back (mainly due to stress). However, when I moved to a new area I was really unsure of how to pick a new chiropractor. I tried out Terry Anelons in Ayer, MA and loved him — he had the exact same style as my former chiropractor. But, it was a little too far for me to travel on a regular basis so I looked for something in town and stumbled upon De Vita Chiropractic. I am so glad I did!
Dr. Tom and his son, Dr. Jamal, are both experienced, kind, and helpful. I saw them specifically for some lower back muscle spasms that were making it hard to walk, sit, or stand without feeling serious pain. My wedding was only a week away and I was, quite honestly, freaking out that I would spend the day in pain. In just a few treatments, I was feeling MUCH better. They use some methods I had never heard of before, but explained everything in detail and so I felt confident in their approach. (Don’t worry, none of it is creepy!) A few weeks later, I have full range of motion back and am regularly seeing them for maintenance. I’m so glad to have found a reliable chiropractor here in Acton!
As a side note, they are also GREAT about fitting you in the day you call, if they have openings. :)
