Dr. Boisvert and his staff are nothing short of exceptional. The attention to detail, holistic care, and multi-faceted approach to treatment and recovery is unmatched. Dr. Boisvert is not only an expert in his field, but he also has compassion for his patients that has blown me away. I cannot thank this team enough. My experience here has been life changing, truly!
I have been seeing Dr. Boisvert for quite a few years now. When I first went in I had a chronic back injury that other treatments had been unable to fix; I had started to believe that it would never go away completely and I would just be “managing” it for the rest of my life. However Dr. Boisvert was highly recommended to me by other patients so I decided to try treatment. After seeing him for a few weeks, he was able to address the root cause of the injury and build my body back up to fully functional. This is the refreshing approach he takes with his patients as opposed to just pain management and treating symptoms. Since then I have returned for countless tweaks that have nagged at my body from various sports/weight lifting/chronic use injuries and he has never let me down. I cannot recommend Dr. Boisvert highly enough.
Dr. Boisvert is extremely knowledgeable, and has helped me return to the activities that I love after years of being significantly limited due to back pain, or as it turns out, SI joint pain and some arthritis. He has used a combination of adjustments and Graston technique to change my body, help it heal and allow me to train more effectively. For more than 5 years, I could barely stand for more than 5-10 minutes or walk a few hundred yards without being in pain and having to sit down. I had given up all sports and many basic social activities. The change was gradual, but I avoided surgery and drugs, and have seen much longer term improvement than I did with injections, PT and other treatments. I’m now 55 and I am jogging 15-20 miles per week, playing tennis and skiing regularly. I still have some episodes of pain and may occasionally do something to cause my body to guard or lock up a bit, but I usually rebound within a day, and he can always work out any issues. I highly recommend seeing him. Just be patient and committed to reclaiming your healthy lifestyle. He will be honest about your situation and explain how and if he will be able to help you.
This is going to be a long review because I have been seeking treatment with Dr. Boisvert for a long time. Also, I think my experience will be relevant for a lot of people and I consistently ask myself why so few are talking about or doing what he is doing.
I have sought treatment with Dr. Boisvert for a number of conditions and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has treated me both as a high school athlete and now as an active adult. Before I started treatment with Dr. Boisvert, I struggled with repeated quad and hamstring injuries for 4-5 years as a high school athlete. I had a high rate of re-injury to the same areas despite traditional physical therapy strengthening and stretching protocols (I was always very thorough and patient in my rehab process). Post-treatment I have not injured those areas since.
I also suffered an acute back spasm while lifting three days before a high school football game. It left me in excruciating pain and barely able to walk. I sought treatment with him the next day and was immediately pain free. I somehow went on to play the entire game without issue. Normally this would have been something that might have sidelined me for the season. This is just one of the many mini "miracles" I have seen him work.
As an adult, I now live in Denver and regularly run, ski, and train. I will travel from Denver to seek treatment with Dr. Boisvert because I have been unable to find someone as effective anywhere else. I have since sought treatment for muscle pulls in my back (from lifting), groin (from sprinting) and tendonitis in my achilles region (created significant pain while running), among a number of other injuries. He has successfully resolved all of those issues and I continue to be extremely active pain and injury free.
I just want to say I have tried A LOT of other physical therapists / chiropractors in other places I have lived, but I have never encountered anyone as helpful or knowledgeable as Dr. Boisvert. His understanding of the human body is quite astounding (and I consider myself a fairly educated consumer). His approach is unique. What I have come to appreciate about it is that it is highly personalized, holistic, and treats the root cause of my symptoms. In addition to our in-office sessions, he will give me helpful guidance on recovery timelines, when, how and how much I can push myself post-injury/treatment, and simple effective stretching/strengthening protocols that complement his in-office treatment. He has great bedside manner and is always eager and willing to spend extra time with me in an effort to be thorough and answer my questions. When I can make the time to see Dr. Boisvert, it gives me an incredible amount of confidence in KNOWING that with his help I will get better, even if it takes some time.
I cannot recommend him highly enough for any musculoskeletal problem. The world needs more providers like Dr. Boisvert!
I cannot recommend Dr. Boisvert highly enough. I've been seeing Dr. Boisvert for many years for hip/shoulder and other musculoskeletal injuries. I was a former hockey / football player with a slew of injuries and found Dr. Boisvert as a result of past treatments, ranging from surgical intervention, post-surgical physical therapy, to acupuncture, to injections, falling short. Dr. Boisvert's expertise and highly-skilled treatment approach took me, from a stiff, limited, and chronically painful place after 7 hip / shoulder surgeries, to running, biking, and living an active lifestyle. After moving out of the Boston area I searched everywhere for someone doing Graston / ART / other Chiropractic techniques at the level of Dr. Boisvert, and came up empty handed. Instead, I commute from North Carolina to Boston for treatment when I can.
