I've only been seeing Dr. Baron and his team at Bay State Chiropractic Center for two weeks, now, but I can say without a measure of a doubt that I would recommend them. To fully explain the wonders, if not miracle, that I have received here, I have to tell you a short tale about my situation. About ten years ago, I had a serious accident in the Army that damage my lower back. Due to some shenanigans in the system at the time (and still ongoing) there are no medical records of that injury, so the VA could not give me the full support that I required. Instead, they gave me the standard VA Hospital treat from multiple VA healthcare facilities and surrounding satellite offices. This support ranged from high doses of pain medications that only came with side-effects and no relief to constant reminders to lose weight. After a set of x-rays, it was revealed that I had Degenerative Disc Disease(DDD), and the diagnosis that I should get used to this condition, as it was only going to get worse...oh, and that I should lose weight because I did this to myself. When I asked if there was anything I could do, or any specialists I could see, specifically a chiropractor, I was advised that nobody could make what happened any better than it already was. Several years went by, with me suffering, trying to lose weight, while also trying to endure the pain that exercising caused, but failing. I moved to Baltimore, MD, where I was told the same thing by the local VA. At this point, I had given up hope, and accepted my fate that I would have to endure this for the rest of my life. A couple weeks ago, I was stepping out of the shower, and I wrenched my back, somehow, and over the course of three days, my mobility and movement was reduced to a near crippling state. Fed up, and completely lost at the sudden decline, I decided to throw aside all medical advice previously given, and consult a chiropractor. I searched a couple dozen offices in the area, and found Dr. Baron. From the first visit, I knew I could trust him and his team. They are all very polite, respectful, and most of all, they care. I felt that Nadine was expecting me from the moment I walked in the door, and she helped me through the paperwork. Dr. Baron completed his initial exam of my situation, and from the x-rays that he took on-site, was able to show me WHY I was feeling the pain I was. My spine AND neck were way out of wack! Now, to play devil's advocate, he did also advise that I look into losing weight. I've asked many questions before my first adjustment, and Dr. Baron has always been happy to educate. He is dedicated to his craft, and to helping heal your body so it can heal itself. After my first adjustment, I started noticing small changes. I was sore, but my mobility has improved. I was slightly more flexible. I just had my 6th adjustment, today, and let me tell you, I feel great! I was able to go shopping with my wife for an hour, before I started to feel like I needed to start heading home. TLDR/Summary: To summarize all the above, Dr. Baron has not only disproved what over a dozen doctors have told me about being able to live a pain free life, but he has given me and my wife back hope that we will be able to live a happy and healthy life! To me, that is one of the best Christmas gifts I could ever hope to be given, this year! Thank you Dr. Baron and the team at Bay State Chiropractic Center!!! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Baron for several months now, and it has been an excellent experience. I first started seeing him when my midwife recommended him after I'd had a persistent tear inducing headache for several days (after they ruled out any pregnancy related issues). After just one visit with Dr. Baron, my headache was drastically improved on the day of the adjustment, and gone by the next day. I continued to see him for several weeks in order to get my neck back into alignment, as even though the headaches were gone, I didn't have full range of motion in my neck. After I had my son, I went back to Dr. Baron for a problem with my hip and pelvic region. During the last week of my pregnancy, I had what I thought was just sciatic nerve pain from pressure the baby was creating, however the pain persisted after I gave birth, and became so bad that I could not carry my son upstairs because my leg would give out on me. After Dr. Baron examined me, he explained that one of my joints had shifted and locked out of place, which was causing the pain. This was after I'd went to my primary care provider who had just told me to do exercises because it was probably the sciatic nerve. After each adjustment, I could tell a huge difference, and even after the first one, I could walk up the stairs without my leg threatening to collapse. After a couple of adjustments, I could carry my son upstairs! It was a huge relief, since I had been in excruciating pain for a couple of weeks before seeing Dr. Baron. I took my son in for an adjustment with Dr. Baron when he was about 6 weeks old. He was having a really hard time passing gas, making him cry in pain, and his bowel movements had decreased. After the adjustment with Dr. Baron, his bowel movements increased significantly, and he had an easier time passing his gas. We've gone for 3 adjustments so far, and I can definitely tell that the adjustments are helping my son. In addition to the great chiropractor care, the entire staff is incredibly friendly. It is a pleasure to go there every time. I highly recommend Bay State Chiropractic Center to anyone interested in chiropractor care for themselves or for their children. read more

Don't Know Anything About Chiropractics? I Didn't Either. Like many parents in the thirty-odd age range, I'd gotten used to lots of odd little aches and pains, assuming they were the inevitable results of parenting -- low sleep, piggy-back rides, etc. I also assumed that the only proper response was to "power through." However, my wife eventually convinced me to try seeking chiropractic care, on the premise that it couldn't hurt. I am glad she did. With a professional but down-to-earth explanation, Dr. Baron showed me how I had "gotten used to" a lot, more than I'd even realized. Reduced strength, a hunched computer-desk posture, overworked muscles, spinal curvature, and -- most alarmingly -- a small spinal fracture I'd never even been aware of. That fracture was causing me to overcompensate more and more, resulting in that curvature and overwork; all the "kinks" and recurring soreness now had an explanation beyond "you're getting older." And it didn't have to stay that way. Dr. Baron analyzed my particular issues, developed a treatment plan, and set to work. After only a few chiropractic adjustments, I was already standing taller, feeling stronger, and feeling less fatigue -- thanks, as he explained, to the nerves in my spine finally communicating better between my extremities and my brain. It was quite interesting to see the theory and the results meet! The results will have to be cemented with exercise and lifestyle adjustments, too, but Dr. Baron has been able to offer solid advice there as well. I appreciate his wisdom and supportiveness, as well as the courtesy of the entire staff at Bay State. The only thing I regret is waiting as long as I did to start feeling better! ~David Ellrod, Sr. read more

I have been going to Dr. Baron at Baystate Chiropractic Center for over a month now and he is excellent. I was in so much pain when I got to him and he really helped me and worked on me to get rid of my pain and make me feel like myself again. I have been to other chiropractors but Dr. Baron has been the best so far! He is very thorough, friendly, knoweldgable, and answers any questions that you may have. Not only is the Dr. here very nice but the rest of his staff are always very friendly and helpful. His asssitant Julie is very nice and makes sure you are comfortable when doing excerises and the traction table. She helped me up one day when my pain was so bad and I could not get up on my own. They even offer cofffe or tea to their patients which I found to be an extra special touch. I am so pleased with this office and service that I have received from the entire staff. I would definitely recommend a friend or family member here. Dr. Baron also has a very hollistic approach to his method if you are interested in that and he does not push it if you are not interested in this. -Alison F. read more

I am very thankful that I found Dr. Baron. I have suffered from migraines for many years. I was getting them roughly 4 times a month, with headaches on a daily basis. I saw several neurologists with no relief. On top of that, I was at a point in my life where I was severely depressed, stressed, and with no energy to move. I started to see Dr. Baron and after working with him for almost a year, I have to say I am a new person. I no longer have daily headaches, and have seen significant reduction in the frequency in migraines. Subsequently, depression has subsided. A feel like a new person. Dr. Baron's treatment plan is holistic. He listens to all my concerns and creates his treatment plan holistically. He also educates you while he is treating you. The team at Bay State are caring and compassionate. They accommodate my needs for same day appointments and fully explain all financial information. read more

Dr. Baron is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He is passionate about educating his patients and you can really tell he cares. I went to him at the end of my pregnancy to facilitate a smooth delivery and now am taking my newborn to see him for (gentle) adjustments to address some asymmetry in her head/neck/face. See photos for before/after. The front desk and support staff are also amazing. They are so sweet, organized, and professional. They LOVE seeing my daughter and holding her while I get adjusted too! The whole practice is very family-centered. Finally, the most incredible thing about Bay State is that they participate in the Patriot Project, which offers Military service members (like me) and their families free services that aren't available on base. I feel so fortunate and grateful to have found them. I recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

We started going to see Doctor Baron when my kid's ear nose and throat doctor recommended that they have tubes in their ears. One of my children kept getting ear infections. My little girl's hearing test revealed that she did not hear well, especially for certain frequencies. After about 10 visits, we saw the ENT again, and my daughter's hearing test had improved quite a bit, so much that the ENT thought tubes were no longer necessary. I can't say whether my son's condition has changed or not. We will continue seeing Doctor Baron once or twice a month. He is very prompt about seeing patients, gives interesting information while he performs adjustments, and takes his time with the intensity of adjustment based on the kids' reactions. read more

My 10 month old has had a chronic runny nose and ear infections since November 2013. After multiple rounds of antibiotics, nothing was changing so I decided I'd take him to see Dr. Baron. I am amazed at the changes in my son. At 9 months, he was refusing to sit up or crawl with his stomach off the floor. After the first treatment he sat up on his own, the next day he started to climb the stairs. After his third treatment he started to crawl with his belly off the floor. And finally, it appears that his nose is drying up! Also his adult care is wonderful. I initially went for some mild neck and back discomfort and now that is gone too. I will continue to take my family and myself to see Dr. Baron. read more

I came to Dr. Baron at the end of my pregnancy and, during the appointment, he told me that he had a reputation for helping women to have "torpedo babies." Boy was he right! My water broke 3 hours after my appointment, and though I had a long labor, I was able to successfully push my daughter out in 10 minutes. Everything happened so fast that my doctor was barely able to get ready. The swiftness helped me to avoid having an emergency C-Section. I am certain that the alignment work played a big role in that outcome, and I will always be grateful to Dr. Baron for that support, as well as his help in resolving a chronic ankle issue. I strongly recommend him to pregnant women. read more

I originally came to see Dr Baron because I'm in my third trimester and I was having low/middle back and hip pain. I also want to give birth naturally and maximize my chances of being in a birth center as opposed to the hospital. My pain has significantly decreased and as a bonus, I am sleeping better. However, at 32 1/2 weeks, an ultrasound showed that my baby was breech and of course I was concerned. Within 5 days of increased frequency of adjustments with Dr Baron to balance my pelvis and also doing inversions, my son was able to turn head down and drop into my pelvis. Thank you Dr. Baron!! read more

I've had a lot of bad experiences with doctors, but Doctor Baron are his staff are great. They are very communicative, interested in your feedback, and want you to be informed throughout the process. The intake interview was very thorough and revolved around a holistic approach to resolving the issues I came in for. The regular office visits have all been very quick and professional. For the white coat syndrome crowd, I told them about mine up front and they understood from the get go. They've made me feel very comfortable the whole time. read more

I started coming to Dr. Baron for neck & shoulder pain about 10 weeks ago. While I am not cured, I feel 75% back to my normal self in just 10 short weeks. His office staff Dawn & Nadine are absolutely delightful to interact with. Dr. Baron does a fantastical job educating you on what your problem areas are and how together you can achieve optimum health. I would recommend Bay State Chiropractic Center to everyone. read more

Dr Baron helped me immensely with my sciatic pain during my first pregnancy and continues to help me today with allergies and other issues. If you're having trouble with a medical issue of any kind and haven't gotten answers using conventional methods I would say go to him! He can help with everything! I'm an ICU nurse and I have been amazed at how much he has truly helped me. Definitely worth a try. read more

I first came to Bay State Chiropractic with back and leg pain. I was so sensitive, I couldn't even tolerate slight adjusting without going through the roof with pain. After working with Dr. Baron, I am now walking better and doing regular activities with much less pain. I can shower better and lift my legs better. I finally feel like it won't be long before I can get back to my dance! read more

I was in so much pain from teaching in front of a screen for over a year. Dr. Baron took the time to explain to me the best course of treatment to correct upper and lower back and to treat my shoulders. It has been three weeks of treatment now and I am already showing signs of improvement and lessening pain. I would recommend chiropractic treatment and Bay State Chiropractic to anyone. read more

Don't just take my word for it, I've met multiple people within a 10 mile radius with this mutual feeling toward his practice. Now, that speaks volumes.... Have a great day, -Kaprina read more

I saw a different chiropractor for years before moving to the area. What I've learned in hindsight was that while my last chiropractor was helpful, he spent a lot of time doing generalized work for my back pain. Dr. B gives a targeted diagnosis, keeps excellent notes, and has me in and out quickly with much better results. read more
