Michaud Chiropractic Center

I have been going to Tom for over 30 years starting when I was first diagnosed with bad knees from running. At the time, the docs were pushing surgery but my chiropractor suggested I see Tom. He fit me out with orthotics and I have been good to go ever since. When my knees flare up, which they inevitably do, Tom is there to help get them back in shape. At sixty five years old, I have stayed out of surgery and feel blessed every day that I am lucky enough to have this extraordinary healer in my city. Tom has to be one of the smartest and most compassionate people I know. He also has a great sense of humor (always a plus in my book). He has a wide breadth of knowledge on all things medical and a strong sense of when a problem is structural and when it’s something else and where those two points intersect. He also sets the example for what a good healer should be. When I need another doc for something else, I always think about Tom when I’m looking around.

In my life there have been a few doctors that stand out from the pack, doctors that I feel blessed to have received care from not only because they are kind, generous people but also because they are healers in the true sense of the word. You feel safe in their hands because you know they can fix what ails you. Dr. Michaud is one of these rare doctors in my life that I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to know.
I had a ten-​year chronic pain problem in my foot due to a nonunion. Guess what? Since Dr. Michaud has been my doctor, the pain is simply gone. I had chronic flare-​ups of terrible neck pain from spending years working long hours at a desk. After religiously doing the counter-​intuitive exercises Dr Michaud prescribed and receiving his slightly-​painful-​but-​worth-​it massages– guess what? Gone.
He writes innovative textbooks, keeps up with the latest research (check the dates of the dozens and dozens of scholarly articles pinned to the bulletin board in his waiting room– they’re super current), and even has invented a medical device or two. He loves what he does, and he’s literally amazing at it. You’ll be amazed at what he can do, which for many of his patients includes being healed by him despite having been told by orthopedic surgeons that the only solution was the operating room.
PS: If you can’t get an appointment with him (and realistically, the chances are probably fairly low b/​c he’s so sought after), call the office and you’ll get a referral for his associate who works with him in the same office. She may not be Dr. Michaud, but anyone he recommends is someone you can trust.

I’ve been going for a long time and the care is excellent. The doctors are very knowledgeable and can act as «general contractors» for a variety of orthopedic issues (i.e., map out a strategy for you, tell you when surgery is needed, etc.)
In addition to chiropractic care, Dr. Michaud has literally written the book on foot orthotics (
), so I’d highly recommend him for that as well.
