I had been having shoulder problems and diagnosed by an orthopedic with inflammation of the AC joint and bicep tendonitis. His answer was a cortisone shot. This was effective for about 2 weeks and I was constantly in pain and could not work out with the stamina I was used too. It was recommended that I try a chiropractor- Dr. Cao. I had no experience with a chiropractor and assumed it was a treatment for the bones so I was skeptical. How is a bone Dr. going to help my muscles and pains? Very early on in treatment I realized how wrong I was. Dr. Cao has worked every muscle and tissue area around my shoulder and I am not in pain anymore. I get immediate relief from each treatment. I have adjustments on my neck and spine also which alleviate most of the tension in my back and shoulders. She also targets areas in my hip and leg that I didnt realize I was having problems with. I walk out of her office upright and in no pain! I have seen a decline in the amount of headaches and migraines I was used to getting. I also go for massage treatment in her office. You have not had a massage until you get a chiropractic massage. It works in conjunction with the treatment I am getting from Dr. Cao and has been very effective in my recovery. Not to mention the great feeling and relaxation you should get from a massage. I was worried I would be on shots and in pain for the rest of my life. I am working out strong again with my shoulder and gaining strength back in it all the times. I have been receiving treatment for 2 months and I can honestly say it has made an incredible difference. I am working toward being 100% again with the help of Dr. Cao and her massage therapist Kim. I would recommend this to anyone in pain and not getting any relief from their current treatments....

I have been suffering from lower back, hip, and leg pain for about 10 years due to sports related injuries. After receiving my MRI, and seeing doctors and chiropractors without any real relief, I essentially gave up. I figured, "It is what it is" and Ill just learn to live with it. After having my son two years ago, and realizing that I wanted to be able to pick him up, play with him, go for long walks, and not be using a cane at 38 years old, I decided to look for another option. I looked for a chiropractor that was near my workplace and found Healing Hands. Upon my initial visit, I knew something was different than places Id been or providers Ive seen previously. Kelly took a personal interest in my case, and was intent on finding out how she could find some relief for me. I have only been going to Kelly for about a month now, and upon my last visit, I proudly told her that I "feel better than I have in about 5-6 years". With each visit, I feel marked improvement, and I feel like Im a true participant in my own treatment. Kelly listens to you, talks about what she thinks the issue may be, and then explains in detail the treatment youll receive and how that will affect you. She refuses to let you give up, and always says that "pain is not supposed to be a lifestyle." Under her care, Im starting to see exactly what she means. You dont have to just accept the fact that youre getting older and will have nagging pain. There is something you can do. I am so glad that I found Healing Hands and would recommend Kelly to anyone who is experiencing pain and thinks there is no other options for them. Thank you Kelly!

For several years Ive experienced intermittent back pain and have been, lets just say, living with it. As an adult who sits hunched over at her computer most of her work day the problem has only become more consistent. Dr. Cao was referred to me by a friend who was tired of hearing me complain about my back. I was skeptical as I never considered myself in too bad shape. When I walked up to her building and saw a sign in the window that read, "pain is not a lifestyle" I felt a surge of hope. After being adjusted I immediately felt as though someone had hit a re-set button for me. I realized that I had been living in pain and accepting that. Im happy to say, not anymore! Dr. Cao is becoming an essential resource for me. Ive been able to rely on her for answers to a range of health care issues. She is very knowledgeable and attentive. Dr. Cao and staff have always been welcoming and professional. The office is a small, nice, clean space with a peaceful setting. I highly recommend the practice to anyone seeking preventive or therapeutic chiropractic treatment.

When I first started seeing Dr. Cao I suffered from severe headaches, low back pain and neuropathy in my feet. My treatments with her have been so benificial. My headaches have gone and she suggested get orthotics for my shoes. I was a little leary about orthotics due to the old style I had tried many years ago prescribed by an orthopedic doctor back in the 80s. They were very hard and uncomfortable. Dr. Cao educated me on the new leather orthotics and why she thought I would benefit from them. There is no casting the feet with plaster as in previous years. A simple foot scan was taken of both my feet. The scan displayed exactly where I was having issues with my feet that also affected my lower back. Since under the care of Dr.Cao I no longer suffer from headaches and severe low back pain. The orthotics have worked wonders seeing I am on my feet all day. I no longer have numbness in my toes and has helped with the burning in my feet. My personal opion is Dr. Cao is an exceptional physcian and is very compationate human being. Carol

Since I was a teenager I have battled with Si joint pain, debilitating at times. I have seen multiple doctors, had x-rays, with no results except more pain. I was visiting home during the holidays when my back acted up, my brother had me see Dr. Cao...I havent been the same since! I saw her twice a week for 3 weeks, she was attentive, and calming. She listened to my problems and created a recovery plan. By the time I left, my back was in the best condition it had ever been. As part of continuing maintenance I found a chiropractor where I lived. Little did I know I was spoiled by Dr. Cao, the new doctor was terrible! I felt like I was being pushed through an assembly line. I have tried to find a Dr. near me that could replace Dr. Cao, but I had no such luck. I gave up and just decided to treck from Boston to Worcester once a month and get adjusted, I also line up a hot stone massage at the office to make the trip worth my while :)Dr. Cao and the Healing Hands team are the best! Thanks for changing my life!

For a long time I wanted to try a chiropractor and was afraid because i did not have enough information regarding the practice. I have had for a long time tension in my lower back and my shoulders with lots of pain. I tried heat and muscle rubbing lotions to only temporary relief because I was not getting the issue resolved I was just patching it. I looked on my insurance companies website to see who accepted my insurance for chiropractor services and seen many but Healing Hands was 3 minutes from my home. I called in and had a consultation the following day that was a plus. By the 2nd appointment I had no more lower back pain after years of struggling with it. Finally able to wear my stilettos was a magnificent accomplishment. My shoulders need a bit more work to loosen up but now is just tension on the shoulders NO more pain!. I will recommend this business to anyone that is looking for relief without any success.
