Lawrence Ferrara, DC

I came into town in horrible pain from a slipped disc and sciatica, and completely numb in one foot. Dr. Ferrara was recommended to me by a friend in town, so I tried to get an appointment. He ended jerking me around for five days on the phone –back and forth about my benefits, which I called and verified with my insurance company in a 10 minute phone call, which he could have done too if he had actually picked up the phone and tried to call them. After I told him my benefits were fine and I had coverage for chiropractic, he refused to take my word for it. So angry that he strung me along for days when I could have just moved on to trying to find another chiropractor.
I am in town with a touring broadway show at the Colonial Theater and I will be sure to pass on to the presenters that none of the performing companies that come into town should ever go and see Dr. Ferrara. He obviously could care less about treating someone who needs his immediate help.

This is the first time I’ve ever been to the chiropractor. I did not know what to expect. Dr. Ferrara was very thorough in explaining what he does and made me feel very comfortable. He even has a model spine!
After walking out, I feel very like jello. Slowly but surely, Dr. Ferrara is helping me get my neck and back in order. I am definitely happy so far.

I’m a new mom with a LOT of back pain that comes from pregnancy and taking care of a child. I’ve tried SO many physical therapists and chiros and Dr. Lawrence Ferrara at Whole Health Chiropractic is the ONLY one that was able to help me. He will never pressure you to go more times than you want, also unlike other chiros, he’ll actually give you a mini-​deep tissue massage to help the muscles. I can’t say enough how great he is and I’ve been referring him to everyone. He’ll also never tell you to buy any products or try to sell anything.
He’s right near the T. Everything is fabulous about this place, love it!

Dr. Ferrara is amazing! I had never been to a chiropractor before him. His Newbury Street location was very convenient as well. Like Melissa said, he doesn’t make outrageous promises and genuinely wants to help his patients feel better. I am now so conscious of my bad posture that gives me chronic back and neck pain! He is definitely knowledgeable in his field and wow, what a nice guy!

I went to my first ever chiropractor appointment today and it was great!!! I felt so good after. he’s very informative, and fun!!! he gets so excited to tell you about how to maintain healthy joints/​spine/​good posture. very educational at the same time he relaxes you. the deep tissue massage/​pressure points feels sooo amazing. i just wanted to fall asleep right there, wish it was longer! :) def going back to see Dr Ferrara from now on :) so glad i discovered the world of BONES/​JOINTS!

Great! He was easy to schedule an appointment with. He’s located in a great area. He was friendly and informative. He sold me on his service without making outrageous promises and without scaring me. I’ve been to chiropractors that have these scare tactics… and I really don’t need anyone making me more anxious than I already am. Dr. Ferrara was straight forward and reasonable and there was no pressure for more appointments. He’s also very calming and gentle. He tells you exactly what he’s doing and why. I’ve been to some chiropractors who can be sort of scary when they turn your neck, but he just slowly turns it and everything pop, pop, pops! I left feeling awesome! I’m planning on going back. He’s great!

I met with Dr. Ferrara after being recommended to his practice. His Newbury Street location is easy to get to and his hours work very well with my work schedule. I find him to be a very proactive and considerate person, which are two things I look for in my doctors/​specialists.
He is an extremely nice and down to earth person. When I came upstairs I was happy to see the warm connection he had with the patient before me. At the start of my session we talked a little bit about my history and some of my habits that are contributing to my pain. I found the diagnostic work he did prior to the adjustment to be effective and accurate. It was also nice that he didn’t seem to dumb down the terminology to explain what was going on in my body, but was able to work in real life examples. He then gave me a massage to loosen up some of my extremely tight muscle in my neck area. So it wasn’t as uncomfortable as it could of been when the adjustments were made. I’m feel a bit more aware of my habits today and I think that with his treatments I can get rid of some of my chronic pain.
