Local chiropractor since 1984
Since 1984, Dr. Tim Knight has cared for children and adults in Arlington and Greater Boston using gentle, low-force adjustments, with no twisting, popping or cracking.
Our process for new patients begins with a warm welcome and a comprehensive first visit, which includes a case history, chiropractic examination, and possible x-rays based on your needs, followed by an explanation of how chiropractic care can address your concerns. This visit, lasting about 45 minutes, also includes completing intake forms. During the second visit, findings from the initial exam and any x-rays are thoroughly reviewed, along with recommendations for a treatment plan (typically three to six months), cost options, and your first chiropractic adjustment if you agree to proceed. After the initial course of care, patients can choose to discontinue treatment, pursue weekly wellness care, or opt for maintenance care every three to six weeks.
At Knight Chiropractic, we use gentle, low force adjusting techniques in our chiropractic care.
They effectively correct the local, structural subluxations as well as the general subluxation patterns that affect the overall function of your nervous system.
Corrective care goes beyond pain relief. It treats the underlying misalignments in the body that lead to pain and injury. There are five phases of corrective care: Initial pain relief, Corrective treatment; Supportive treatment, Maintenance Treatment, and Wellness Care.
Following your initial course of care, together we will discuss the type of ongoing care that works best for you.
Wellness Care is for those who understand that regular adjustments to correct subluxations have significant health benefits and who want to make a long-term commitment to regular care.
Wellness Care is available for a low monthly fee.
At Knight Chiropractic we recognize the birth experience is dramatic for all involved. We’ve had advanced training to help make expectant mothers more comfortable and at ease. Dr. Tim is certified in Webster Technique, a method directed toward improving pelvic function and reducing tension in the pelvis and lower back of pregnant patients, making for an easier birth process.
At Knight Chiropractic, it is our intention to help each patient be fully informed of their insurance coverage, as complicated as some plans are, prior to the new patient first visit. During the registration of the new patient appointment we will request your insurance information, we retrieve your coverage for chiropractic care and inform you of the coverage. It is our experience that with every plan there can be very diverse advantages, and limitations within each policy. We will do our best to interpret your coverage, prior to your first appointment, and inform you of that coverage and the financial responsibly.

Your first visit starts with a warm welcome and takes about 45 minutes, including intake forms. It includes a case history, a chiropractic examination, x-rays if your history and exam call for them, and an explanation of how chiropractic care can address your concerns. At your second visit, Dr. Tim reviews the findings, recommends a treatment plan, explains cost options and, if you agree to proceed, gives your first adjustment.
Your first visit takes about 45 minutes, including your history, exam and any necessary x-rays. Your second visit takes about 40 minutes: Dr. Tim explains the findings and treatment plan and, if appropriate, gives your first adjustment. After that, appointments are scheduled for 15 minutes each.
An initial treatment plan typically lasts three to six months. After that, you can choose to stop treatment, continue with weekly wellness care, or come in for maintenance care every three to six weeks.
Unless you’re a newborn, it’s likely your spinal issues have been developing long before your symptoms began. Addressing both the acute discomfort and the underlying causes takes time and a consistent care plan.
Not at all. After completing your initial care plan, how you continue is entirely up to you. Some people return only when symptoms flare up. Others prefer regular care—whether weekly through a monthly membership (minimum one-year commitment) or maintenance care every three to six weeks. Once people discover how simple, pleasant, and effective chiropractic care can be, they often choose not to wait until things get “bad” again.
Coverage varies by plan. When you book your first appointment, we ask for your insurance information, check your chiropractic coverage, and explain what it covers and your financial responsibility before your first visit. We do not accept assignment from auto insurance or workers’ compensation claims. Call (781) 641-2510 with any questions.
