Union Square Chiropractic

Cristina Grossi is an absolute BOSS.
I first limped into her office about 9 years ago. She’s been there for me many, many times over the years whenever my lower back gets totally jacked up (medical terminology.)
I suffer from a pinched nerve in my lower back which often radiates down my leg and into my foot. Sometimes the pain keeps me from being able to walk, but Grossi has always been able to bring me back to life.
Highly knowledgable and super friendly! I recommend absolutely everybody I know to this stellar office.

I’ve been going to Union square Chiropractic for about 5 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! They are awesome, front desk staff has always been top notch and very friendly!
I’ve now seen both Drs. Gilmore and Grossi and both really have made me feel awesome.
If you’re afraid of going to a chiropractor or nervous about beginning to get adjustments, you will never have to be with these two. They take their time, really want to ensure you feel better and are patient. Working with such great Dr.‘s is great because they always put you at ease and help you walk straight (er)!
Office is conveniently located and parking is easy 9 out of 10 times.

Union Square Chiropractic is wonderful… BUT THAT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! Dr. Grossi and Dr. Gilmore are LOVELY! I was quite uneasy about having my first adjustment — as I had read horror stories about chiropractic care via a google search.
I have been working at a desk for over 5 years now and suffer from neck/​upper back/​mid back pain. So, I decided it was time to seek out a REPUTABLE chiropractic office (THANK YOU FELLOW UnilocalERS)!
I started treating with Dr. Grossi and she is AMAZING! She is patient, pleasant, educated and really cares about her patients. She also is super easy to talk to. Not only is she exceptional at what she does, I consider her a friend.
It can be quite busy sometimes, and it is great that there is another doctor to treat Dr. Grossi’s patients if necessary… Dr. Gilmore! I have seen Dr. Gilmore on multiple occasions and his technique is very similar to Dr. Grossi. He is very kind hearted and is a great listener. He is always open to answering your questions and gives detailed responses so that you thoroughly understand. One thing that I love: he walks you through exactly what he is doing, so that there are no surprises.
Overall, this office is FANTASTIC. My back pain has improved for the better. This is one of the best decisions I have made for my health and well being. I should have made an appointment sooner!
IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR CHIROPRACTIC CARE — LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!

I was a little scared of chiropractors, but was recommended to come here and have had a great experience over about 6 months. The environment is warm and friendly, and I am always learning new things about how to better take care of my body. I think they have a great perspective, are very professional and have excellent bedside manner. It is out of the way for me, but definiteły worth the long ride on the CT2 bus!

Dr. Gilmore has been adjusting me up for almost a year now, and I can’t adequately describe both figuratively and literally what a relief it has been. During my second visit, Dr. Gilmore did something amazing with my back that brought instant relief from months of pain. We joked about it being a bazooka went off.
I highly recommend Dr. Gilmore and the skill and care he takes in relieving pain.

Dr. Grossi is a life saver!!! After training and running a half marathon last year as well as pain from a previous injury, I was in rough shape. But she transformed my back and has maintained it throughout my training this year. Her warm and extremely friendly personality made me feel comfortable right away and I actually look forward to appointments now. The environment is relaxing and soothing and I almost never have to wait very long. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Grossi and the office!

I’ve had a very positive experience at Union Square Chiropractic with Dr. Gilmore! I went in for some general health maintenance and help with improving my posture. I felt comfortable in the office right away and I have really appreciated Dr. Gilmore’s attention to detail. Dr. Gilmore is thorough in his explanations of the chiropractic process and is willing to adjust the treatment plan (no pun intended) to address my specific needs (often depending on how much I’ve been traveling for work or my stress level). Dr. Gilmore is very genuine in his approach to managing his patients’ health and seems to really care about everyone that comes into the office. Highly recommended!

So happy I found Dr. Grossi shortly upon moving to Cambridge. She is as wonderful and skillful as everyone says. I have mild scoliosis, leg length discrepancy, and chronic pain issues. While for scoliosis I do once-​a-​month maintenance, over the last year I also had other urgent problems, which required urgent help, and she was able to get me in at the last minute and «fix» me.
I love the massage bed before the treatment, too. Thank you, Dr. Grossi!
There is only one thing I wish would change. There is also massage therapy in the same office (but it’s an independent business, so Dr. Grossi is in no way responsible for it), and ideally I like to do a full-​hour massage before my adjustments. I tried it a bunch of times (perhaps 6 or 7 times) and really tried to make it work, but the quality is mediocre. The therapist was often late, would cut appointments short, and never, ever customize the treatment, no matter how often I reminded him of my «problem areas» that he needed to focus on. I found a different massage place since and now only go for adjustments with Dr. Grossi, but I really wish they got a better therapist, so I can get both at the same time! Again, this has nothing to do with Dr. Grossi, so she gets five stars!

Dr. Grossi is phenomenal. I started going to see her when I was training for a long distance triathlon — mostly to prevent injury, I didn’t have any pain or discomfort. In addition to being just the most cheerful, friendly, and happy person, Dr. Grossi is incredibly knowledgeable, smart, and well-​versed in athletic training.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a chiropractor!

Dr. Grossi is fantastic!
Not only is she a very skilled Chiropractor, but a wonderful human being to boot!
She ‘fixes’ both me and my husband on a regular basis! My job is fairly physical, so my back needs constant tune-​ups! My hubby, who had a prior lower back injury and lingering pain issues and was very skeptical about chiropractic care to begin with, is now a believer and pain free!
Everyone at the office is super nice, friendly and efficient!
5 stars all across the board!!!

I’ve had my share of chiropractors over the years, to varying degrees. I’ve had to stop going to them for equally varying reasons, but mostly because of lack of medical coverage for such services. Really (insurance company that I probably shouldn’t name), you think only 12 visits a year will fix everything? In any case, after only the first visit, the headaches that no over the counter pill could get rid of were gone. I’ve got years of damage to fix, but that’s a good start. And having gone to chiropractors before, I was well-​prepared for those sudden CRACKS that are involved, but thankfully Dr. Grossi tells quite clearly what she is about to do to you. Let’s hope I get more progress before my health coverage runs out THIS time!

I made an appointment in January after chronic headaches got the best of me. I was expecting to see Dr. Grossi, but ended up with Dr. Gilmore, who had just started at the practice. No complaints here — he has been great. I went in expecting that a simple adjustment was all I needed, because none of my previous chiropractors had ever offered other solutions, but Dr. Gilmore was able to tell me exactly which muscles were causing problems. He helped me figure out some of my triggers, and he gave me stretches to do when I felt a headache coming on (which have helped immensely). He is very personable and easy to talk to while also being great at what he does, which makes appointments relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely check out the office — you won’t regret it.

OMG, I love Dr. Grossi. I put off finding a chiropractor for years because I’d heard the horror stories. After a series of mishaps last year I decided it was finally time. All I knew was that I wanted a female chiropractor not too far from me. I picked her on the basis of other Unilocalers’ reviews.
Dr. Grossi diagnosed torticollis that I’ve been living with for probably about 30 years since I had surgery on my neck as a child. My head was very obviously tilted but no medical provider I’ve ever seen has told me it was something that could be fixed. I did have one massage therapist say he could fix it but that it would be very costly and emotionally difficult. While it did take several months of serious work for her to correct, I can’t say I found it emotionally difficult. If anything it was exhilarating (if a bit painful).
Two things happened after she started working on it — 1: I started sleeping through the night for the first time in years (sadly, that didn’t last, although my sleep is less interrupted than it used to be) and 2: I stopped falling. I used to fall on average once every couple of months (more when I was younger). Didn’t matter if the surface was completely flat (i.e.: a school hallway) or uneven (Somerville sidewalks!). If I stepped wrong, I’d stumble and be on the ground. I always thought I was clumsy, but it turns out the torticollis was messing with my balance.
Breaking up all the scar tissue in my neck wasn’t the most pleasant experience, but Dr. Grossi is such a pleasant person, I always look forward to my visits. I’m now down to once a month (after starting at twice a week). I wish I hadn’t waited so long. Hooray for Dr. Grossi! If you’ve been putting off finding a chiropractor, you should check her out in her new digs at 70 Union Square (Precinct Bar building).
(As an added bonus, one of her patients recommended Ebi Sushi to me. I’m not sure I ever would have gone in had it not been for the recommendation. It’s now one of my favorite restaurants.)

You don’t know what you’ve got till its gone…
I’ve moved to three different cities in two states since I saw Dr. Grossi when I was pregnant with sacroiliac pain. Looking back two years I have not yet found a chiropractor like Dr. Grossi. I am now still searching for «another» Dr. Grossi, but after every visit to another chiropractor I am only thinking: I wish I could just go back to Dr. Grossi in Somerville!

I can’t say enough. It’s a good sign when you hear laughter in a treatment room as you walk in the door, and a doctor coming out to work with patients with a smile on her face… on a Saturday morning.
I’m 8 months pregnant and have had back pain for the last 2 months. I was walking like a Weeble and unable to bend over comfortably. I wrote this off as normal pregnant stuff. However, the reason for my call, was that I couldn’t sleep because staying in one position — like sleeping– was just utterly and excruciatingly painful.
I contacted her asking if she could do pregnancy chiropractic, and I got a response right away saying that she does see a lot of women seeking relief in pregnancy. This made me feel like relief was possibly in sight.
Honestly, I was just looking for the sharp pain to stop in my lower back, and for some tension to get released from between my shoulder blades. I’ve never done chiropractic before, so I had no idea what to really expect.
Dr. Grossi took me through a bunch of adjustments, explained EVERYTHING as she was doing her thing, demonstrated on me and a model spine in the room what had happened, what I’m feeling, and what she was going to do to help out.
15 minutes later, I was able to WALK. Like, really walk, hips swaying and walking normally — even with a 20 pound bowling ball in my abdomen. I could turn my head to the left and the right, could touch my toes, and felt like Superman.
It’s 4 days later, and I’m still feeling pretty good. I have a follow up on Saturday to tweek things that may have slid out of alignment, but after feeling what «right» felt like, I have a better idea as to what «wrong» feels like, so I can better describe what’s going on.
Thank you SO MUCH Dr. Grossi :) My husband thanks you, too, since I haven’t been complaining nearly as much ;)

Visiting the Nunziato dog park with my then puppy Stanley some people there recommended Dr. Christina Grossi for my very noticeable discomfort. It seemed a cult following of dog owners who sang her praises. Having had serious problems with sciatica, consequentially resorting to having a laminectomy I was tentative at first but was quickly put at ease by Dr. Grossi’s confident and firm hand. Results were fast and being given a plan of action to follow on my part helped me keep her wonderful adjustments longer and longer. It’s been over a year now and I still see her occasionally but I’m now proud to be among the dog park members who idolize the folks at Union Sq. Chiropractic

I chose Dr. Grossi because of her wonderful Unilocal reviews and she does not disappoint! After months of pain and no improvement, I started to see her and have seen amazing results in just a few short months. She is is attentive, helpful and has even answered my email questions between visits. Her office is super easy to get to and, aside from Saturdays, it is fairly easy to schedule an appointment. I have and will continue to refer her to everyone I know!

I found Dr. Grossi as I walked around Union Square in Somerville. At the time, I had been in physical therapy for 3 years due to a severe car accident. Her touch and compassion help me heal. I now go for monthly maintenance. Dr. Grossi is a fantastic chiropractor and I continue to refer her to friends and family.

Dr. Grossi is the best! She is informative, sweet and does an incredible job
pin pointing my problematic areas before she corrects them. I leave her office feeling relaxed every time. I highly recommend her

I was very nervous the first time I set foot in this office. The idea of someone bending and cracking me I thought would do more harm than good. I was completely wrong.
Dr. Grossi’s practice came recommended to me by a friend of mine who had been searching for a chiropracter that she would mesh well with. After having Dr. Grossi checked out by her children, she started her treatment and had wonderful results.
I’ve dealt with shoulder and back pain for most of my adult life. Dr. Grossi checked me out at the first visit and was able to identify places I didn’t know that needed adjustments. One the adjustments were done there was an immediate difference that stayed with me for some time. As the adjustments took, my appointments became less frequent. I had to stop my appts due to breaking my ankle a few months ago, but when I came back she re-​checked me and gave me exercises that not even my PT had to help strengthen my ankle.
Also, she’s just awesome! She is one of the nicest people I have ever met and I am so glad that her practice is as successful as it is. She’s always smiling and engaging with patients. I’ll be sad when I no longer need to see her, but I’ll also feel tons better.
