North Shore Spine

I went here for both a chiropractic consult and for a Nutrimost consult. I started the Nutrimost program that day on 5/​12, I have lost over 36 pounds as of today ⁶⁄₂₂! I haven’t been hungry or tired, my husband calls me downright perky.
Dr. Pendolino and his office are wonderful, helpful and very responsive. Anytime, I needed something (whether it was a new bottle of supplements or just a little encouragement) I got it ASAP.
I would and have recommend this office and program to anyone who is interested!
I plan on signing up for a second round as soon as I can!

If you want a great chiropractor and you live/​work in Woburn this is the guy to see. Dr Pendolino and his secretary are incredibly nice. This guy wont screw with you like some crazy chiropractor in Stoneham next to subway who is trying to run a cult will do. I saw him about 6 yrs ago for a while but fixed me up in just a few months. A few months ago I hurt myself at the gym, called the office that night and had an appointment that next morning. Both him and the secretary (Lisa I think I honestly suck with names) remembered me and are still amazing.

I had hurt myself at work about a year ago and had herniated a disc in my lumbar area. I had pain, couldn’t sit or drive, and was severely restricted in my every day activities. I went to doctors, physical therapy, and chiropractors in search of an answer to the question, «What should I be doing exactly to releave my pain and get my body back to my normal active self?». I’m 26, 5′ 9″ and 180 lbs. I have been pretty active my whole life. Surely I could overcome this injury, couldn’t I? For a year, nobody coluld even answer the question, «What should I be doing?» At the North Shore Spine and Disc I found my answers. After a few short weeks, I am 99% back to normal with confidence that as long as I follow the doctors instructions for the next six months, I will be 100% back with a second chance to live a strong, healthy life.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this place.
On a side note, I learned of the spinal decompression technique from a tv commercial my mother had seen. This was for a chiropractor in Orange, CT about three hours away from my residence. I went there first but quickly realized that the distance was an issue and I hoped I could find the same therapy near where I lived. I figured there should be something similar near Boston. It turns out, not only was North Shore Spine and Disc cheaper (by almost half), but the other place had an assisant that did not even know how to properly hook up the machinery and there was no doctor supervision. In North Shore Spine and Disc, the doctor himself had strapped me into the machine and I could feel the difference right away. I am extremely glad I chose North Shore Spine and Disc.

I was not completely healed at North Shore Spine & Rehab –D.B.A. Woburn Family Chiropractic.
I most likely never will be 100% ever again. However Dr Pendolino was honest and straightforward. He gave good treatment and I responded with good results.
His treatments worked and made my life much more… enjoyable and less painful.
My health insurance was in his network and that is how I came to him.
His receptionist, Lisa is a sweetie and a gem. She made it a bit less anxious and painful to go there. Really!
That’s how pleasant and nice she is.
Appointments are easy to make and to schedule. I was in and out in under 30 minutes which was appreciated.
I would def go back again to him if I was in pain. I am glad I have him on board with my neck and back issues.
I would def recommend him to anyone.

If I could give Dr Pendolino and his staff 6-​stars, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
I’ve been to upwards of a couple dozen chiropractors over the years. They’re all very nice but «nice» only gets you so far. When I go to a chiropractor, I’m going for 2 reasons;
1. Relief; and
2. To get a LOT of questions answered;
That’s just how I am. When I go to any doctor, I want to know…
1. If the doctor can comprehend precisely what I’m going through;
2. How it got that way based on the info I gave him/​her; and
3. What can be done about it; and
4. If it’s truly rehab’-able, or if it’s a forever maintenance kind of thing.
I want someone who not only can answer my questions with an air of expertise, but who also WANTS to answer my questions and WANTS me to REALLY understand what s/​he understands the path of healing/​restoration that is available to me.
Dr. Michael Pendolino is GUILTY of all of the above.
First, his reception Lisa is, how do I put this?, kind of like a big sister/​young mother. She’s very sharp, great with details and sorta thinks to remind you of everything you need to know in case you forget it. Which is good because I can lose my socks on my way from the bedroom to the kitchen.
Dr Pendolino has a very sharp, engaging mind. You can tell, without a doubt, that he’s extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally passionate about his work.
To-​date, I have only done spinal decompression here. If you don’t know what it is, Google it, but it’s a fairly recent, proven therapy that helps restore healthy disk function. So, if you have collapsed and/​or bulging disks, or pinched nerves, etc, a few pulls on this Star-​Trek looking thing and you start to notice some «interesting» relief.
My head just wasn’t ready to believe I felt better so quickly from a collapsed disk I’d had in my lower cervical.
Spinal decompression is not covered by insurance and it can be a bit pricey but they have a financing company available and, even with a couple of credit blips, I was able to get credit instantly. Believe me, if your back/​neck is hurting because of disk problems, this is totally worth it!
I can’t yet speak for his regular chiro mojo but, if you are suffering from back/​neck problems, I strongly suggest you contact Dr. Pendolino and set up an appointment for a consultation with him. He’ll answer all your questions to your complete satisfaction.
There is also a phyiscal therapist and acupuncturist in the office, and a massage therapist coming soon.
