Friar Chiropractic

I went to Dr. Friar after moving to Boston a couple of years ago. I was having a lot of lower back pain. I had been seeing a network chiropractor in NYC (which was very helpful), so I was a little nervous going back to a «regular» chiropractor, but Dr. Friar is excellent! She treated me with e-​stim (electric stimulation), heat, massage, and very gentle adjustment. After going once a week for a few months, I was so much better, and she said I only needed to come back if there were any issues. A few months later I slipped and fell hard on the ice, so I went back for two visits, and it turns out I was still in good shape, alignment-​wise! Her prices are very reasonable, but I’m really appreciate that she «graduated» me when I was doing fine and didn’t keep me coming back with no end in sight. I feel very lucky that I found Dr. Friar, and I strongly recommend her for anyone needing chiropractic help!

I was in town on a short vacation and had fairly severe back pain. After reading the reviews on Dr. Friar, I decided to call. She was able to see me within 4 hours. I filled out all the paperwork then after her asking me many questions, I received the exam. She instantly determined what treatment was needed. First I received heat, then a deep tissue massage. After which she put my vertebra back in alignment. Then a little more massage and finally more heat. I left there feeling SO much better. The heat and massage will certainly help keep my back and neck in alignment. I highly recommend her.

I began seeing Dr. Friar about a month ago for a longstanding rotator cuff injury. Before seeing Dr. Friar, I had had almost three months of twice weekly PT with no results.
Prior to each adjustment, Dr. Friar did approximately 15 minutes of some sort of trigger point massage which immediately reduced my pain. She then did the adjustments, which sometimes make me a bit nervous (especially around the neck), but she is very quick and gentle.
Dr. Friar is professional, personable, thorough, and knowledgable. After an initial assessment and three adjustments, my pain has decreased dramatically and Dr. Friar says that I’m all done with treatment. What I like about her, is that she addresses the problem quickly and sends you on your way.
My insurance doesn’t cover chiropractic, but treatment with Dr. Friar was worth every penny because I feel like I have my life back!

Dr. Friar is an excellent chiropractor! Not only did she put heat on my back to loosen it up, but then she did a deep tissue massage before adjusting me. She is the best of all my favorite chiropractors from the past all rolled into one super nice lady! Highly recommended!

I spent a lot of time reading the reviews for Dr. Friar and they are all right. She is amazing and really does have the strongest hands ever. I had a very good chiropractor who moved away. It took me a while to find someone I liked as much as her, but Dr. Friar was worth looking for.

I have had a lot of chiropractic work with several different chiropractors. Sally is the best I’ve experienced. I turned to Sally based upon Unilocal reviews and I am so glad I did. I have recently been diagnosed with a bulging disk in my neck and have multiple rib heads out. Serious issues needing serious support. Sally listens well, takes a careful and conservative approach, and focuses on starting where the patient is. I can say that these qualities are hard to find in a chiropractor. Usually they diagnose fairly quickly and seem to think that a particular plan is the only option. Sally is well skilled in anatomy and adjustment work. She is open to feedback and individualizes each appointment. I came in my first appointment barely being able to even lay on the table. After one treatment I was able to walk more comfortably and cut my pain meds in half that day. It has only improved from there. Although my disk condition will take a very long time to resolve or easily manage, Sally ensures I can sleep more restfully, be able to move with much less pain and is leading me to the time where I can again be athletically active. Sally is wonderful! She can be trusted to help you improve and feel better. If you need or have an instinct to get Chiropratic work, go see Sally!

I called Sally on my day off and she had an opening the same day. I get really bad migraines and have only been to one other chiropractor that I thought was really good, but today, she blew that guy out of the water. Sally seems to know her stuff and she is easy to talk to and be around. Discussing the laundry list of things that contribute to getting migraines makes me feel a little on the winey side, but she was right there with me, nodding and smiling. It’s nice to know that JP has a rock star female chiropractor who can make this girl with frequent migraines feel better after only one visit.

I went to see Dr. Sally Friar based on a recommendation from JP Moms, and I loved her! I am 24 weeks pregnant, and I’m having pain in my shoulders and lower back. She met with me for an hour, gave me a deep tissue massage, and did some minor adjustments. She was very professional and friendly. I was very happy with her, and I’m going back next week. She has weekday appointments until 7:30 PM and Saturday appointments as well.

i LOVE dr. friar and can’t speak highly enough. i have seen many chiros, but she is by far the best. i have been going to her for 3 years and i always leave her office feeling better. she doesn’t do walk-​ins, but i text her the same day sometimes and she almost always gets me in when i want, or definitely by the next day.
she is amazing!

I am VERY pleased with Dr. Friar.
I had never been to a chiropractor before, but as I had a moderate-​severe lower back problem (that resulted in not being able to stand up after bending down), I began researching my options. The office is relatively close to my location in JP, and I was able to make an appointment quickly; Dr. Friar runs a busy office, but she proved to be extremely flexible, given the amount of pain I was in. After one session of deep heat, massage and stretching (not sure what the technical terms are!), I felt immediate relief. My activities were no longer limited, and I my range of motion increased dramatically. I have been back since, and will continue to visit in the future. Dr. Friar and I will be discussing exercise and core-​strengthening techniques next time we meet, in order to avoid any future injuries.
In short, Dr. Friar is kind, very skilled, has literally the strongest hands ever, and listens carefully and thoughtfully to her patients.
HIGHLY recommended!

I went to Friar Chiropractor several months ago. There are several chiropractors in the area. I chose this one b/​c she is a female chiropractor, (which I thought was rare) and it was a convenient location. There are no walk in appointments. I called late in the afternoon and got an appointment the next day after work.
The intake was quick but thorough. The office is clean, private and quiet. I went b/​c I could barely move my neck and had upper back /​neck pain. The appointment started off with a 15 minute massage. She had me take off my shirt and change into a gown. Sally gave me the best massage I think I ever had. She zoned in on the knot in my shoulder blade and massaged out the spasm that I was having. Usually, at other chiropractic offices, they use the electric stim machine to work out your knots. This was pretty impressive and equal to the machine b/​c she dug deep — I loved it! After the massage, she adjusted my neck. I only ended up going to two appointments because my neck pain was gone. Overall, it a good experience.
Pros:
got a quick appointment
Clean office
Sally F is nice, friendly
Amazing Massage
Spent extra time on me when I said that my neck still bothered me
Plenty of street parking
Cons:
No walk in appointments (though I did get a next day appointment)
No Electric Stimulation Machine.
