Been playing sports and lifting for more than a decade now and have built up a lot of stress and injuries over the years. Also had history of back injuries in the past that has sidelined me from either participating in sporting events or the gym for weeks to months before. One time my back went out randomly without me even doing anything active (during vacation actually) and that pain was so severe I was barely able to walk or sit down. Every movement hurts, to the point where I had to call off work. A co-worker of mine recommended Dr. Piretti and I can see why. After seeing Dr. Piretti the first time, my pain and situation greatly improved. He recommended seeing him for 4 sessions and by the 3rd session, he said it was no longer necessary to see him. Each session improved my back greatly. He is very knowledgeable and knows a lot about sports to tell me what I should be avoiding and how to better maintain my back/hips on my own. I would highly recommend Dr. Piretti to anyone I know! BTW - I have Harvard Pilgrim as insurance so yes they do accept that as insurance read more

Been having adjustments with Copley Square Chiropractic since December. All the chiropractors that I've worked with have been phenomenal and excellent desk service as well. Super friendly. Not too expensive either with insurance! Highly recommend getting your adjustments done here. read more

Dr Delghi is the best! I've been coming for almost a year and I feel amazing. I've also seen the other doctors and they all do a wonderful job with realignments! read more

I've generally been skeptical of chiropractors after I went to a few where I live. One tried to charge me for treatments that would basically elongate my back (??) at $60 per session... four times a month. I've also gone to one that wanted to take up my Saturdays with "wellness seminars" that he swore were "part of the healing process for the spine". My spine prefers to sleep in on Saturdays. Dr. Piretti was a breath of fresh air compared to those other guys. I travel a lot and have a weird curve in my back so at times it can get painful. On an extended stay in Boston, I went to Dr. P after reading the great reviews on this fine website and was blown away. He did a great job and didn't try to up-sell me on weird treatments that didn't make sense. He's also very easy to talk to and he explained things in way that I could understand them. I highly recommend him to anyone in Boston or who is just passing through. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Delghi! I found her via the web because I was having serious jaw issues (with no previous diagnosis of TMJ). She realigned my jaw, neck, and got everything back to normal. So friendly and knowledgeable! read more

Everyone's review is right on par. I've been going here for about a month now and my experience here has been incredible. They're really flexible with times and scheduling and not to mention the incredible staff. The receptionist is so nice and always has a smile on her face. It's a great environment to be in, and super close to the Back bay/Copley station. Dr. Piretti really understood my back issues and reassured me that I would be okay. He's super friendly and extremely professional. I've been to my fair share of chiropractors and he really helped me out the most. They also take insurance, I have Blue Cross and only pay a 25$ co-pay when I come in. I highly recommend this place. read more

After a lifetime of doing everything imaginable to mess up my back, father time seemed to catch up to me and my once hyperactive physical activity dwindled with the years. There was a time when I would run home from work, play an hour of tennis, run off to either Baptiste Yoga or the adult dance classes at Boston Ballet or Jeanette Neil Dance and then hit the gym at 9 pm for an hour or so of lifting and cardio. Oh, and I would roller blade between classes. I started experiencing back pain in the 90's, but I have a high tolerance to pain. Every morning I would awake to a stiff back which would dissipate within half an hour and I would think nothing of it. Then my back would go out periodically in dance class and I had to stop. Then the constant bending over from the roller blading forced me to quit that. Then I would feel sore every time I bent over to pick up a tennis ball (12 hours on the weekends can do that do you), so I stopped that, then I forced myself into a bridge at Baptiste and that was the proverbial straw. That was in 2003. They took an MRI and decided I had degenerative disc disease, blah blah blah. I had dropped foot for a week which almost had me in emergency surgery. I asked the neurologist at MGH if I could go to a chiropractor who I greatly respected and he said no because having my disc manipulated would only exacerbate it. So for the next 10 years I found myself getting progressively worse with pain and limiting more and more of my activities to the point where I was resigning myself to becoming a reluctant couch potato, waiting for a dad bod. I decided to do SOMETHING as this pain in my lower body was getting more and more bothersome, I researched the most reputable physiatrists and orthopedics in Boston and had a treatment plan for some shots and possibly surgery..... I read about Dr Piretti and was impressed by his background as a personal trainer prior to becoming a Chiropractor. On a long shot I went to visit him and I think you know where this is going! I can't believe the difference. I wouldn't belive it if it wasn't my own body doing squats and deadlifts at the gym now with NO PAIN. Ok, there is a little pain because I clearly don't know what moderation or "go slow" means, but, for example, I haven't woken up with back pain since our first week together. I know one size does not fit all for things like back pain, so I don't want to oversell this guy, but I do think it is worth giving him a try. There is no way any surgery could have had the benefits I am experiencing over the past 6 months. The results have far exceeded what I even dreamed was possible and I am back to hoping I can remain active for the rest of my life... literally. I want to be the 90 year old at the gym not at home in bed. Oh, and he ain't bad to look at either (Ok, I'm gay, he's straight, but i had to say that because I can in this neighborhood). read more

I've been seeing Dr. James Hall for about 5 months, and I wish I had gone sooner. I had injured my lower back (sacroiliac joint) from overexercising and was in excruciating pain every day. Dr. Hall did a full evaluation and developed a program for me that started at 2 days per week plus home exercises; we are now down to once every 3-4 weeks, and I'm feeling so much better. He had also made incredible improvements in my mid-thoracic and even my ankles! In addition to technical excellence, Dr. Hall is also very kind and approachable. He makes me feel very comfortable. The office staff is exceptional--so friendly and accommodating. I'm so glad I found Copley Square Chiropractic. read more

A friend referred me to Dr Piretti about 2 years ago after I got fed up with the arrogant attitude of my previous Newbury Street chiropractor. I called initially to request an "interview"...I wanted to make sure I wasn't in for another jerk for a doctor. Dr. Piretti was kind enough to spend 15-20 minutes with me, answering all my questions. Dr. P is AWESOME! I travel weekly on average and he's helped to keep my back in alignment and keep my sciatic pain at bay. We started with weekly visits and I am now down to monthly visits with minimal, if any, pain in between. As mentioned in other reviews, his technique does not involve the instruments my previous chiropractor used, and the end result has been better. I feel better! Dr P takes a holistic approach. He asks about my stress levels, the knots in my upper back and shoulders (too much time on the computer or on an airplane) and has given me advice on my vitamin routine. Most importantly, he is super nice! If you are looking for a chiropractor, visit Dr. Piretti. read more

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Piretti and Copley Square Chiropractic. The office is a nice, clean space located in the South End with ample street parking and they are able to get you in to see him relatively quickly. This was my first experience with a chiropractor and Dr. Piretti did not disappoint. He was very friendly, professional and informative; educating me about how my body works, what caused my back pain and what he was going to do to help it heal. I had injured my back about 6 months earlier and had been able to reduce most of the pain and increase flexibility through seeing a Sports Medicine doctor and using a combination of pilates and strength training. I was happy with how far my back had come but I was still experiencing pain with running and did not have full range of flexibility in my spine so I decided to try seeing a chiropractor. Over the course of 7 or 8 treatments with Dr. Pireti I was able to regain full flexibility in my spine and slowly able to run longer distances without pain. I have been completely pain free for a few months now and consider myself healed! I always thought that once you start going to a chiropractor you have to continue or else the pain returns but Dr. Piretti explained that is not the case and that the goal is to adjust the spine and strengthen the muscles so that they can then hold the spine in the correct place and treatment is no longer needed. This is what happened for me in about 8 appointments over the course of 6-8 weeks while continuing with my regular exercise. I am very happy with my experience with Copley Square Chiropractic and highly recommend Dr. Piretti. read more

This my my first time going to a chiropractor, and it was a wonderful experience. The lady at the front desk was very polite. Dr. Hall did a very thorough history and assessment to figure out how to best help me with my neck and shoulder pain. He explained everything he did to me very clearly and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. Looking forward to alleviating some of my issues. read more

I was referred to Dr. Luke Piretti from my boyfriend who is a personal trainer and goes to him frequently. I was having some knee problems from a sports related injury and he said that Dr. Piretti was not only knowledgeable about injuries like mine, but he also would help me get back into my routine quicker. I was a little skeptical at first because he uses techniques that I had not heard of. More specifically, he used the Graston technique to help break up some of the scar tissue and help alleviate the pressure around my knee. Not going to lie, it hurts and my knee did swell the first time, but I got up the next day and was able to walk down the stairs without pain. That's a win in my book! The good/bad thing about his appointments depending on how you look at it is that they only take 15 - 20 minutes at the most. It's great if you live/work in the area because it doesn't take a lot of time out of your day. He is now helping me rehab a shoulder injury that I have had for many years. Obviously, I would recommend Dr. Piretti if you have any type of sports related injury since that is the main reason that I come to him. read more

Seeking care from Dr Luke Piretti was by far the best decision I could have made. After being rear-ended in an automobile accident and not finding relief through other medical avenues, I sought chiropractic care for the first time in my life. I decided to see Dr Piretti not only based on his medical background and experience, but also because of his holistic approach and high recommendations. - Dr Piretti is very personable, professional, knowledgeable and caring. - He generously provides great tips regarding nutrition, exercise, stretching, etc - He clearly explains steps he is taking throughout the appointment, as well as openly discusses your overall health plan, goals, and next steps - Excellent at treating core issues, not just the symptoms. He has a very holisitc approach and helps motivate you toward overall health Dr Piretti treated me for the following symptoms and issues: Whiplash injuries (Neck, Shoulder, Mid-and Lower-Back pain, Sciatica, TMJ problems). In addition to his chiropractic adjustments, he also counseled me regarding Nutrition, Exercises and Stretching techniques. Also, as a side note, the office manager (Rick) proactively went out of his way to help manage payment of my medical bills and claims between my health insurance carrier and automobile insurance carrier. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding MA state laws, and not only educated me of my rights (and my insurance company), but he was patient, caring, and alleviated so much stress in my life. He didn't need to step in and help, but he did because he cared. I am confident that everyone in Dr Luke Piretti's office is genuine and wants to help you. I highly recommend Dr Luke Piretti, and Melman Chiropractic in Back Bay, for anyone looking for the best overall care. read more

The Doctor I worked with was polite and gave an in-depth description of his methods so I could understand what was going on.

Dr. Piretti has been an essential resource for me, mentally and physically, as I started training for and competing in triathlons a year ago. My endeavor to complete a sprint-length triathlon was made especially challenging due to my prior lack of experience with sports and the stresses the body endures while training and competing. From day one, I've been able to rely on Dr. Piretti to answer questions about unfamiliar training-related aches and pains and to provide appropriate chiropractic treatment that allowed me to safely train at high intensity levels. In fact, I felt so good midway through the season that I decided to do a half-Ironman distance triathlon. I don't believe I'd have been able to cross the finish line without Dr. Piretti's expertise. Dr. Piretti and Laura have always been welcoming and professional. I highly recommend Copley Square Chiropractic to anyone seeking preventive or therapeutic chiropractic treatment for any reason. As evidenced by the other Yelp reviews, Dr. Piretti is clearly knowledgeable about a wide range of health care issues for patients of all types, not just athletes and sports-related treatment. read more

Dr. Delghi Urubshurow is a fantastic Chiropractor. She is thorough, thinks of the whole patient, and provides customized care. I have recommended her to colleagues and they have all had the same excellent results. read more

Dr. Luke is awesome! I was going to him occasionally due to chronic back pain, but then was involved in a car accident. He was able to see me right away and due to his frequent treatments and recommendations for care, my back is great! He is very professional, easy to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. He listens and puts your mind at ease. I highly recommend him! read more

Dr. Lauren is an amazing woman, small framed woman with magical hands and a light up the room smile. She is helping me with my lower back pain and iliosacral joint pain. I could not get out of bed when my back went out last January, after a few visits with Lauren, I was doing much better but relapsed and we are working on methods to relieve the pain with her gentle treatments. Being a former distance runner, I have always suffered with hip/joint pain, however because of my experience with Dr. Lauren, I am starting to implement my own game plan of self care at home and with physical therapy. I know I will never run again, but to be able to stand up straight in a vertical position and not lean like the hunch back of Notre-Dame is great progress. read more

I have been experiencing headaches and migraines for almost 10 years now. I've seen countless neurologists and none of them have bothered to find the cause for these headaches. Dr. James Hall is the first practitioner I've seen who is actually working with me to get to the root of the problem. I desperately called yesterday to make an appointment and was seen today. I was greeted by the lovely Diane, who was very patient with me trying to schedule follow ups. I was seen quickly and very pleased with how the appointment with Dr. Hall went. It was my first visit to a chiropractor, and he took his time answering all of my questions and explaining everything. After the first appointment, I feel a lot better. I look forward to going back next week to see how else I will improve read more

I have been coming here for over a year now and have seen great results in my neck pain. Not only do the appointments work but the whole staff is fantastic. Definitely recommend! read more

Dr. Luke is a great chiropractor. I appreciate that he takes the time to let me know what is going on with my spine and gives me preventative tips that help strengthen my core. He also has great bedside manner and is highly skilled. The office itself is quite accommodating and well appointed. The front desk staff is extremely courteous and professional. Also, unlike other doctors and chiropractors I have been to, I have never had to wait at Dr. Piretti's office, which is amazing. I also enjoy paying them through their iPad system. I just think it is cool. I am really happy to have found Dr. Luke in the city as when someone is cracking your neck and back you have to have a high level of trust with them. Dr. Luke easily earned that trust and saved me hours of time that I would have spent seeing my old chiropractor out in the suburbs and then waiting 45 minutes at his office to be seen. read more

I saw Dr Lockwood for approx 1 year. Dr Lockwood is a 5 star doctor. She was absolutely fantastic and really helped me with my sciatica. However, she has left the practice so this 2 star review is for her successor. I have been to 4 different chiropractors in the past few years (due to moving around) so I have enough experience to judge their competency. Dr. Doscher has a pleasant bedside manner, however she lacks skill. Rather than actually adjusting my spine she only move the chiropractic table up and down. My spine did not "crack." I asked her to crack it like every other doctor has done for me and she said she just stretched it out. Stretching it out is not worth a $40 copay. I did absolutely no good and I my sciatica had not been relived. Dr. Lockwood was excellent and would provide me relief for 1-2 months a time depending on whether or not I did my exercises in the interim. Anyhow, I suspect the reason Dr. Doscher doesn't give proper adjustments is because she is not strong enough. I don't mean to be rude, but she's very petite and I felt like I was a giant laying on the table expecting her to adjust me. She didn't appear to have the strength required to do her job properly. I will not be returning to Copley Square Chiropractic after this visit. read more

Phenomenal service. My first appointment was quick and thorough. I felt amazing after the first alignment. I'm so glad they accept Blue Cross Blue Shield. This is a deal! Dr. Piretti puts you at ease and works magic in just a few minutes. read more

I've been going to Luke now since January...he's great! Not only did he help with my backpain, but has given me some great advice on improving my overall health and living a healthier lifestyle. He's personable and laid-back, his staff is also lovely, and it's usually pretty easy to get a last minute appointment. I would definitely recommend him! read more

Luke and Dr. Lockwood were both absolutely terrific. Having a bit of a unique challenge for them, the two worked together to come up with a plan to help me. While it's a chronic condition that will never be "fixed" Copley Square Chiropractic made my life 10x better. Dr Lockwood was also able to diagnose something that countless osteo surgeons couldn't put a name to (subsequent surgeons have agreed with her assessment). She did hours of research for me and really went out of her way for me. If you need a chiropractor that will care about you and your long term well-being, this is the place to go. read more

Dr. Luke Piretti is truly gifted not only as a chiropractor but as a healer in general. After the birth of my son, I was in agonizing back pain which my very reputable PCP and PT attributed to typical post partum wear and tear - which certainly seemed plausible. After a month of PT (and following vigilantly the exercises and stretches at home) and no relief, I was referred to Dr. Piretti. The adjustments he gave provided me with the first bit of comfort I felt in months. Frankly, that would have been enough to warrant my praise and devotion. However, what made his effort extraordinary was his quest to help me discover the cause of my pain. I, trusting my docs, accepted the pain was post partum and would pass in time. Without disrespecting my physicians, Dr. Piretti felt that there was something else going on given how and when my pain was presenting. Turns out that lifts that had been added to my orthotics were the source of my problem which hadn't occurred to me because my orthotics themselves made my feet feel better than they ever had. To say that I feel grateful for his pursuit to really get me better is an understatement. I don't want to minimize the extent of his gift of skill by focusing solely on my appreciation for his diagnosis. I have visited Dr. Piretti multiple times and no two visits have been the same. He really listens to my explanation of what hurts most that day and addresses each ache in the most miraculous of ways and employs a variety of modalities. One more thing (as if all the other stuff isn't enough). He is such a good listener that in asking me about my 6 mos old (who suffers from horrible reflux and eczema and is under the care of some amazing pediatric specialists), he suggested that a probiotic might help since our son had antibiotics the first 3 weeks of his life which could have been the source of his issues. By no means was he trying to usurp our ped's advice. He just made a recommendation based on what he heard. Our son's doc blessed our giving the probiotic a try. Too early to know yet if that's the answer but the bigger point is that Dr. Piretti really cares about healing people. I wish yelp had 6 stars!! read more

this chiroperactic did not help me over a course of 3 months. Theres no logic or benefit in what he does for you and actually hurt me a lot. the last place i recommendd read more

I can't say enough good things about Copley Square Chiropractic. I started seeing Dr. Lockwood about six months ago for back pain and injuries in my legs due to running long distance. She is a delight to work with and has made an immense difference in my training efforts. Dr. Lockwood connected with me as a runner herself, and alleviated the pain in my knees and feet with regular appointments. She's very friendly while being extremely knowledgable and professional. She also gave me tips on stretches I could do at home and shifts to my diet to help with inflammation. I've had great results at pain relief and have seen a noticeable improvement in my running. Everyone on staff at Copley Square is really friendly. It's easy to get an appointment, and they're quick enough (~15 mins) that I can go during my lunch break. If you're looking for a chiropractor in the city, I highly recommend Dr. Lockwood! read more

Dr. Delghi has done amazing work fixing my coccyx area injury from working out. She's super strong and realigned the area. I felt so much better after a few treatments. read more

I saw a great chiropractor years ago in California after a car accident and haven't been to one since although I think they are great. Lately my neck has been in pain, hurting when I turn it to the left and leaving me with headaches. Meeting Luke, after finding him through my insurance, was a surprise, he's young, hip and full of energy but he knows his stuff. His staff is extremely sweet and accommodating, working to get me a last minute appointment. He explained what was wrong and the treatment it would take. No up-sells and he is working his magic on my neck. The headaches are gone and I am more aware of my bad practices that got me to this point. See Luke, he won't disappoint. read more

Excellent first experience. Very friendly staff and Dr. Delghi was awesome. Immediately booked a follow up and look forward to having them as my "go to" chiropractor! read more

I started going to see Dr. Piretti about two months ago and it has been amazing. I have been in chronic pain for over 3 years now; it started with heel pain and plantar fasciitis, which got to the point where my whole body felt messed up. I had severe heel pain, low back, hip, back pain all the way to my upper back, I walked weird, could not stand for long or sit for long or even walk more than 10 minutes without being in pain. I had some pelvic rotation and all kinds of imbalances that happened because of poor posture and walking with pain. But since I started seeing Dr. Piretti, I feel immensely better and so thankful for the relief, for being able to walk more than 30 minutes, for being able to sit longer, for not constantly thinking about my pain. Before I came to see Dr. Piretti, I went through EPAT for my feet, went through physical therapy, changed podiatrists, saw another chiropractor but didn't feel much difference in my pain. I'm definitely happy with my treatment here, Dr. Piretti also explains each step, and how to strengthen the muscles. read more

Dr. Piretti is an outstanding chiropractor. Although I often see him for specific issues - back, neck, shoulder, or knee, Dr. Piretti treats the whole person. So not only do my pains and injuries improve after a treatment, but I feel less stressed, taller, and altogether - healthier. Dr. Piretti has advised me on nutrition and exercise -- and he has the ability to successfully motivate his patients. Dr.Piretti genuinely cares about his patients and helps them to significantly improve their health. if you want to reduce or eliminate pain or to improve your overall health, see Dr. Luke Piretti. read more

Dr. Luke is friendly, very knowledgeable about health in general, and cares for his patients. I have many issues, since I run and have had some minor injuries in the past. Dr. Luke is able to work through my issues and keep me running. Highly recommend Dr. Luke as your chiropractor! read more

I experienced 6 star-service this month. My wife and I recently relocated to South End - and were worried about finding a skilled chiropractor that might be half as good as the excellent practitioner that we had a 15 year history with in Pittsburgh. After two visits, and substantial relief from symptoms, I am convinced that we found the best in the city. Luke is gifted. Keen insight, trouble-shooting thoughtfulness, expert procedural skill and an incredible understanding of body mechanics enabled him to get to the root of my complex complaint. He is quick to share tips/exercises to help offset body imbalances/weaknesses - thus hastening a recovery (and reducing one's return-visit frequency). And to make the whole experience even better, the entire office staff is very professional and friendly. read more

Both Luke and Lauren are amazing! I am a teacher and orchestral musician. They quickly recognize my problem areas and free them up with precision. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Dr. Piretti is wonderful -- professional and reliable, he genuinely cares about your needs. It's so nice to have a physician that's sensitive to your schedule! I have had experienced few PTs/Chiropractors in the past, but Dr. Piretti is by far the best care I've received. Highly recommend his practice to those in need! read more

Dr. Luke Piretti is a truly gifted chiropractor. I started going to see Dr. Piretti for lower back pain attributed to moving furniture in the early AM hours. His office was able to accommodate an appointment the same day I called (perhaps a bit of luck). Dr. Piretti clearly explained each step he was taking me through while alleviating the pain. Over the course of just several treatment, I can clearly feel the results of his work. If you are looking for a chiropractor, visit Dr. Piretti. I can't say enough great things about Copley Square Chiropractic. read more

Dr. Piretti's adjustments to my neck and spine have been gentle yet effective in relieving my TMJ symptoms. Short yet effective appointments, and he even takes my insurance. Dr. Piretti and the front desk staff have been friendly, caring and helpful. What more can I ask? read more

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Doscher. I've had a full year of hip pain (hip rotation) that has severely limited my ability to work and do everyday activities, and a different chiropractor and several physical therapists weren't able to do much for me. Dr. Doscher's combination of adjustments and deep muscle work have made an enormous difference. She clearly has excellent knowledge of the interactions between muscle groups and skeletal alignment, and her bedside manner is great. She takes her time to make sure I understand exactly what she is doing, and really works with me to come up with the best plan. Though I had never had manual adjustments before, I feel completely safe working with her. She always tells me exactly what she is going to do, and asks for feedback to make sure her massage is not more intense than I can handle. I've also found it very easy to get an appointment with her. On my first visit, because I'd already seen so many specialists, she made sure to set a time frame in which we'd expect to see progress, and planned to help me figure out the next steps for care if her technique wasn't helping me. I'm doing well working with her, so that hasn't been necessary, but the fact that she anticipated that concern of mine spoke volumes about her commitment to care and her sensitivity for her patients. (I noticed one review saying that she isn't strong enough to do adjustments because she has a small frame. That's totally untrue. She's completely capable of performing manual adjustments.) read more
