At Charles Street Family Chiropractic, we focus on helping residents of the greater Cambridge area get their health on track. Our Chiropractic care is based on getting to the root of your problem and fixing the underlying cause. That way we can build a health plan specific to you and getting you back to optimal health.
Misalignments in the spine create interferences in the communication between your brain and your body, which can cause pain, weaken internal organs and organ systems, lower resistance, reduce healing potential and set the stage for sickness and disorders of all kinds. Using diagnostic tools and testing, we are able to identify the source of your problems and appropriately treat the cause.
Cambridge residents trust Charles Street Family Chiropractic for comprehensive care that’s just a quick trip across the Longfellow Bridge. Whether you’re commuting from Harvard Square, Kendall Square, or Porter Square, our convenient Boston location on Charles Street is easily accessible via Memorial Drive or Massachusetts Avenue. We understand the unique needs of Cambridge patients—from MIT students hunched over laptops in Stata Center to Harvard faculty navigating cobblestone streets near Cambridge Common. Our patients come from neighborhoods like Cambridgeport, Inman Square, and Central Square, often stopping by after crossing the Charles River. We’ve helped countless Cambridge families, including those near Rindge Avenue, Fresh Pond, and along Brattle Street. Whether you’re a tech professional biking along the Charles River paths or a parent juggling activities near Danehy Park, our practice provides relief from back pain, neck tension, and sports injuries for the entire Cambridge community.
Everybody is very nice. My back has been feeling better since I started treatment.

Love coming here - it is like a second family! Everyone is so kind, and they really explain your case to you, educate you on how a healthy spine looks like, and then build a solid plan to get you better. This is my weekly routine, coming here, feeling better, feeling happy. Since I started, I made so much progress: my posture got much better, I stopped having regular migraines and dizziness, and now I am able to get through my days feeling my best! Join us!

A very comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Chris. Clearly explained the assessment findings, treatment plan, and insurance coverage/billing. The scheduling is very easy and appointments are efficient. I feel relief with each visit and the music in the office is a great touch. The only thing that could be improved are early or late hours to accommodate healthcare worker schedules'...7a to 7p.

CSFC provides quality care by trained and qualified professionals. Not only have they been of great help with the pains and pangs but they also brought to my attention various other areas where I need help but I wasn't aware. Excellent experience!!

I came into Charles Street Family Chiropractic thirteen months ago barely able to walk, sleep and stand up straight. The adjustments and treatments I received have changed all of that! Dr’s Chris, Kelly and Nick are excellent and the support team with Mary and Lizbeth is wonderful too. If I could give ten stars for the service I received here, I would .

I highly trust and recommend Charles Street Family Chiropractic to my family + friends. I have been a patient since 2023. The team here has genuinely helped me heal severe spine pain & return to a better pain-free quality of life with my spine.
The entire team here at Charles Street Family Chiropractic is knowledgeable, reliable, patient, trustworthy, helpful & friendly every visit I’ve had since 2023!
The office has truly provided relief to my spinal / neck injury + pain I was suffering from before I started my care plan with the team here leading me to a now pain-free life the vast majority of days
Dr. Chris & Dr. Kelly in addition to the entire helpful care team assisted me to identify injuries causing my severe back & neck pain plus limiting my mobility which all started after I had been involved in a car crash in 2023.
Carefully looking at my imaging Dr. Chris & the team recommended a range of non-invasive treatments including physical therapy exercises in combination with chiropractic adjustments. The team also incorporated Spinal Decompression sessions & laser therapy atop other helpful non-invasive relief-providing treatments that aided my body to heal & strengthen to where I was before my injury.
Thankful this practice exists to help me & other patients reduce pain levels and return to life pain free again with non-invasive options!
Parts of my life I have been able to return to with significantly lower to zero pain levels & improved mobility than when I first started treatment for my injury include everyday things such as being a Dad to help care for my partner and our toddler + dog at home, work as a private chef / ride share driver, play tennis, go for runs, hike & walk my dog all thanks to the care at Charles Street Family Chiropractic!

I had a great experience with Dr. Kelly. The examination was very thorough, and she took the time to explain everything clearly and comprehensively. She was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole visit feel very comfortable.
The Office Integrators were also very nice, helpful, and easygoing, which made the overall experience even better. The whole office has a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, and I really appreciated the care and attention throughout my visit.

I've been going to Dr.Quigley, at Charles street, family, Chiropractic, for 34 years, under doctor quigley's care i am 70, but my body like it's 40. To all the years there were times where I could hardly straighten out my lower back.And with a few adjustments , I walked out of their feeling like brand new. No one has to walk around with back pain or neck pain etc. That is not quality of life, I highly recommend Chiropractic treatment.
