Move Well Chiropractic

I was limping across the finish line of a Half Marathon in March 2015. My running partner suggested Dr. Oliver. Dr. Oliver was patient and listened to all my symptoms. During the course of my treatment, he guided me with exercises and adjustments to strengthen my ankles and knees. He explained to me how different body parts affect each other. He prescribed self care exercises and discussed better shoe options. I just returned from a race weekend and ran a 5k, 10k and Half with absolutely no pain and I have to attribute my success to Dr. Oliver’s work. Thank You!!!

Dr. Oliver is awesome. He pretty much cured me of horrible migraines. He is very gentle but thorough and he will guide you in any situation. He really helped me when I herniated a disc in my neck and conventional medicine, including an orthopedic doctor, were completely useless. He was a lifesaver and I could not have gotten through that situation without him. I have moved too far away to continue seeing him and hope to find someone else as good as him!

Its hard to find a really great chiropractor. Dr. Oliver is a REALLY great chiropractor. I have been a lifetime fan of chiropractic care but my husband deemed it quackery. When he got a terrible pain in his neck and couldn’t turn his head I recommended he see Dr. O. He complained that «it won’t work» and «he’ll want me to come multiple times a week forever» and (although he wouldn’t admit it publicly) was afraid that it would hurt. He was afraid of the «cracking». After a few more days of suffering with his pain and failed attempts to fix the problem other ways, he finally agreed to give it a try. He came home after his first appointment and admitted to feeling some relief. Although still skeptical, he followed Dr. O’s plan to come a couple more times over the course of that week and the next. By the 4^th appointment he was totally pain free and the pain never returned. He proclaimed on Facebook «I am now a believer in the ‘dark arts’ of chiropractic. Dr. O has never pressured him to return. If you are someone who is afraid to try chiropractic because 1) it will hurt — Dr. O is your guy. 2) You are worried it is a scam and you will have to come forever — Dr. O is your guy. 3) You have tried other chiropractors and have felt like your appointments were too rushed and did not get much benefit — Dr. O is your guy. This is top notch, skillful, effective, results oriented, patient centered, no joke care. Dr. Oliver is the real deal.

I have been working with Dr. Oliver for about 6 month now after a car accident that I had this past winter that had a negative effect on my back and neck. Start to finish it has been a great experience, and Dr. Oliver has been really great Chiropractor to work with. He coached me through the entire recovery from the accident with actual treatment as well an exercise /​stretching regimen. He encourages questions and offers great explanation of what we are working on and why we are working on it and made the process of recovery as comfortable as possible. If you if you are in need of a Chiropractor I would highly recommend giving Dr. Oliver at Move Well Chiropractic a try.

I came to Dr. Oliver with upper back and shoulder pain as well as headaches. I’d never been to a chiropractor before and had quite a few questions. The first meeting was a very comprehensive consultation and assessment, and he took the time to answer all of these questions. I felt much more at ease.
His philosophy is more about having the patient learn to maintain their own body through exercises, then having them consistently come back to him each week. I saw him about 3 times a week for 2 – 3 weeks consistently, each session learning and perfecting new exercises as well as getting minor adjustments and stretches, and after those 3 weeks I had another assessment to see how my body had changed.
At this point I do the exercises and heed the suggestions he’s given me, and only see him on occasion.
As far as bedside manner, he is caring, gentle and personable.
For someone who is struggling with any kind of pain and is looking for something different to try and get some relief, I would highly recommend him as a practitioner.
Plus: takes insurance (at least Blue Cross).
Minus: Parking is terrible, but if you are lucky there are a few spots around his building. The only reason I gave 4 and not 5 stars.

Not your typical chiropractor!
I’ve been going to Dr. Oliver for about 8 months now after I was referred to him by a personal trainer. I’ve been going to chiropractors for years and Dr Oliver is by far the best. He does a thorough analysis before beginning treatment and gives you «homework» to do between sessions. That way you can be part of the process of getting better and so you don’t have to go in as often. He’ll even check in to make sure you’ve been doing the exercises correctly.
Words can not express how thankful I am for Dr. Oliver. I just go in for «tune ups» to make sure I continue moving like a well oiled machine.

I found out about Move Well Chiropractic through an Eversave coupon for a massage and a consultation. I’ve been seeing chiropractors on and off for about 10 years; I wholeheartedly believe in chiropractic and the benefits it can bring to your health. I stopped seeing my last chiropractor because she didn’t take the time to listen to what was bothering me and what needed to be fixed.
Not the case here. During my consultation, Dr. Oliver asked me what my experience with chiropractic was, what I liked and disliked about previous doctors, and what type of chiropractic I was used to. Turns out he was similar to the doctor I had in Atlanta that I absolutely loved, which made me excited and eager to work with him. Every time I went in, he took the time to ask what had been going on during the week, how I was feeling, etc. He also gave me multiple stretches and exercises to do at home to strengthen my core and my spine so that I would need treatment less and less. I’ve been seeing him since May, 2 or 3 times a week at that point, and am now seeing him once every two weeks — quick progress!
Dr. Oliver is a really kind, great, knowledgeable doctor who is genuinely concerned for his patients’ well being. I loved working with him and would definitely continue if I weren’t moving across the country to go to grad school. Highly recommended to anyone with back pain or discomfort!

Dr Oliver is amazing and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a chiropractor in the Newton area. Not only is he very good at adjusting my back and giving me advice about stretches to do to help heal, but he’s one of those doctors who really knows how to communicate with patients. He takes the time to really understand the problem, make a thorough assessment, and walks you through what he recommends doing in the adjustment before he does it (so there’s no surprises or fearing that you have no idea what way he’s going to twist or push you, like I’ve had with other chiropractors). When I recently had an injury, he not only provided the best care and cure for my low back pain, he also gave me advice about how best to deal with making a claim for my insurance which was invaluable. I’ve seen quite a few chiropractors in the last decade due to moving from city to city, and Dr. Oliver was so good that I kept seeing him after he moved from his Boston offices to his Newton offices. He is worth commuting 45 minutes just to have this kind of quality care. Don’t put it off — you’ll feel better after you see him!

I was skeptical about chiropractors in general but after hearing about the positive experience my friend had with dr. Oliver I decided to give it a try. He is very kind and professional and clearly is an expert at what he does. His office is small and feels very homey. He does everything there himself, which feels nice and relaxed. I already feel like my spine is more allaigned and I’m excited to see how my treatment goes, but so far so good!

I was a little unsure when I went to use an Eversave voucher my co-​worker gave me. The value seemed incredible: a one hour massage, one chiropractic evaluation and up to $ 150 worth of follow-​up visits. Then I saw he had no Unilocal reviews…
I ventured to Newton Centre after work one day. (I was careful to read the detailed directions on his website before.) However, the intersection still proved confusing. As with most of this area of the country now that I KNOW where I’m going. It’s a breeze. However, that initial journey had me worried I’d miss my appointment and I was more than tempted to just hop back in the car and go home after a long day. (Give yourself plenty of time to find the place if you are unfamiliar with the area!)
Ok once I found the office on the 2^nd floor of the Piccadilly Square building, I walked into a very quiet office. Either Dr. Oliver has a part time receptionist or he does his own desk work. Both times I have been he has been the only one working there.
Dr. Oliver made me feel instantly at ease. He listened to my medical history and explained the process of the exam step by step. (This was not my first chiropractic consultation, but even if it had been, I would have been well informed.) One thing I really liked was that he told me he would be honest about whether chiropractic care would be appropriate for my specific body concerns/​pains. I felt like I was back in science class he even gave me a couple hand outs to explain some of my areas of tension and ways to massage them at home.
Then he got to work. He popped, cracked and applied pressure to my body and afterwards I felt a little sore, but mostly taller and much more comfortable in my own skin! My second visit was a lot shorter. I was in and out in under 30 minutes. I slept great after my adjustment!
I would give Newton Wellness Center 5 stars if not for the fact that the massage hours are a little inconvenient for someone working 9 – 5. The massages are done by someone who works there part time? Maybe? Dr. Oliver, however, stays late M, W, Th… until 7pm.
* I had a wonderful chiropractor in Dallas who still treats my whole family! I’ve been meaning to find one near Boston for the last oh… 6 years. And I finally found one!

I highly recommend going to see Dr. Oliver if you are looking for a Chiropractor that does more than just «crack your back.» Dr. Oliver not only does fantastic adjustments, he also offers practical advice and guidance on preventative care, maintenance, and long-​term wellbeing.
Since seeing Dr. Oliver in January, I have experienced significant relief from my lower back pain and I have also learned how to better take care of my back so that I maintain my results and avoid discomfort in the future.
