I am a musculoskeletal researcher at MGH. I visited Dr. Beneski a total of 4 times and wrote the following letter afterwards. I wanted to explain my decision to discontinue care at your office. I very much appreciate your time and effort, especially in looking into payment plans to facilitate my continuation of care. However, I dont feel, my neck/back issue can benefit from your services. I originally just was interested in the week to wellness package but I agreed with much of what you said and I very much believe in alternative therapies, as I practice several. After a couple extra visits, I really felt no improvement in my symptoms, and surely not enough to justify continuing to spend $70 for 5 minutes of your time. I will be honest with you, the adjustments are merely cracking my back much like we crack our knuckles and the only benefit I received was from the very brief massage you incorporated into each session. My symptoms were relieved but returned within minutes of leaving. This is not to say I received no benefit from visiting your office. Both the massage therapist and nutrition counselor I feel are top notch and the exercise is also helpful and I thank you for those. Unfortunately for chiropractors, reputations will continue to suffer in the absence of scientific evidence as well as consistent results in patients. Despite the tough economy and other challenges, I strongly believe decisions for patients health should be made in the best interest of the patient and if a practitioner doubts his/her ability to provide the best chance for healing then it is their responsibility to guide the patient to better care. This is one of the qualities that marks an excellent provider: the ability to accurately appraise their own abilities with awareness of the many biases naturally present. Unfortunately Dr. Beneski is unable to accomplish and practice with this quality, it was clear to me he was guided by monetary influence.

I work downtown and highly recommend Dr. Beneski. I had been experiencing some extensive problems with my lower back that had even led to a loss of feeling in one leg. I was referred to Dr. Beneski by a co-worker. Dr. Beneski was very personable and informative. He took time to properly analyze and discuss my issues and then established a plan to attack the problem. Within a few visits the nerve and related leg discomfort were gone (and have not returned) and my neck and back had more range of motion and less irritability. In addition and equally as important, I was impressed with Dr. Beneskis focus on nutrition and exercise to minimize required visits. I was concerned that he, like other chiros, was only interested in doing an adjustment and waiting for you to come back. Dr. Beneski was just what I needed. He took the time to discuss my diet and exercise and gave me various exercises and diet options that would help me to strengthen key areas and improve digestion and my immune system, all of which would reduce back related issues. Whether injured or just sitting at a desk too much, anyone who is downtown or close to one of his offices should go see Dr. Beneski as the visits will no doubt add an improvement to your well being. It has for me and others I have referred to him. Hopefully you find this review helpful.

I first came to Dr. Beneski on recommendation of my primary care physician. I was having jaw pain that would not allow me to open my mouth. I could hardly fit a spoon in my mouth to eat. It was so bad I had to sip my food. The pain would effect everything I did because the jaw was always painful and tight. After meeting Dr. Beneski I had an exam that allowed me to understand what was happening in my jaw. I was glad he explained what he was going to do because the first visit was painful. This pain passed within moments and then I felt improvement. I could tell from the first visit that what he was saying was wrong was true and the program he planned made sense. Several weeks have passes and I am now able to eat as I please and the constant pain is gone. As a bonus my neck is also feeling much better and I feel taller. Dr. Beneski has now recommended that I get a bite guard so that the tension will not come back. The way he has explained it makes sense. Before you have a bite guard fit, you should solve the mechanical issues of the jaw so that you fit a bite guard to a good situation. Why put a bite guard in a bad mouth? I would recommend that before you go and spend $400-$500 on a bite guard you give Dr. Beneski a call. You might just save yourself a lot of pain and money

I came to Dr. Beneski after struggling with chronic back pain for years. My pain was so bad that I was desperate to get relief. Being a skeptic, I had mixed feeling about coming to see a Chiropractor. Dr. Beneski was recommended to me by a trusted friend and I decided to give it a try. My ability to perform at work was effected. I was constantly uncomfortable and exhausted from the extra effort it took to get through the day. When my pain was at its worst I would work for a week then have to rest for a week. This significantly affected my life professionally and socially. After the first month of care I noticed an improvement. Now I am completely free of pain! I am now maintaining my health by coming for wellness visits. My pain is completely gone. I don’t have to take any more breaks from work and can perform daily work tasks comfortably. I am very pleased with my results!

While I have not worked with Dr. Beneski, I have been working with Todd, a massage therapist, for several months. He is absolutely fantastic. I was able to trust him immediately, and we collaborated to address many of my specific muscular issues. Over time, he has helped me start to correct those issues and make a long-lasting impact in my day to day life. Todd bases his practice around what you need and what you want during any given session. We always have time to discuss how my stressors have impacted my body and we are continually building that professional relationship. I couldnt recommend him more highly. If you need a one-time massage or a regular therapist, he is definitely the guy to see. Thanks Todd!

I threw out my back lifting a heavy object and called Dr. Beneskis office at noon on a Friday and requested an appointment. The response was that there were no openings that day, but that he could squeeze me in at 3:30. What a great way to do business and create a loyal client base. I was hurting at 3:30 and by 3:40 I was fixed just in time for the weekend. Quick, professional, friendly service - not a whole lot more to say.
