Your Wellness Journey Starts Here
Clinically speaking, our primary goal is to correct the vertebral subluxation complex. In other words, to relieve your pain. Our focus is to help our patients achieve long-term health, not just the alleviation of specific symptoms.
Gentle, Low-Force Adjustments
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.
Dr. Tim uses his hands to adjust subluxations with techniques that use no or low force. These techniques are primarily Directional Non-Force Technique (DNFT) and Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT).
Corrective Care
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.
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.

It is safe for all ages, can improve the nervous system, and enhance healing. Achieve better posture, better sleep, and injury prevention through chiropractic care.

No. Becoming a new patient requires two visits. During your first visit, we’ll take a full history, perform a chiropractic exam, and take x-rays if necessary. On your second visit, we’ll review your results, recommend a care plan, discuss associated costs, and—if everything looks good to you—you’ll receive your first adjustment.
Yes. Call us at (781) 641-2510 for a free consultation.
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.
