I was dealing with a herniated disc in my neck, with pain and tingling traveling down my arm. I had already seen a surgeon and was scheduled for surgery, but a few days before, I started having second thoughts. I decided to look into other options, and that's when I found Dr. Tara O'Brien. From my very first visit, she took the time to listen to me and go over my medical history, including a serious accident I had back in 1989 that left me with permanent injuries. She understood that my situation wasn't simple and came up with a treatment plan to help me without having to go through surgery. I've been seeing her regularly, and I can honestly say she's made a big difference in my life. I still deal with some ongoing issues from my previous injuries, but I've definitely seen improvement, and I'm very grateful for that. What I appreciate most about Dr. O'Brien is that she genuinely cares about her patients. She listens, she's patient, and she takes the time to understand what you're going through. Finding someone who truly cares and wants to help means a lot, especially when you've been dealing with pain for so many years. I'd also like to mention her staff. They're always friendly, always smiling, and always willing to help Dr. O'Brien whenever needed. Everyone is always on top of things, and they make you feel welcome every time you walk in. I'm really thankful I found her. She's not only an excellent chiropractor but also a wonderful person. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their patients.

I have been going to Dr. Tara for about 6 months now. My goal was to get back to the gym without injurying myself. She helped with my alignment and pain relief. I'm more confident doing movements at the gym that I normally would shy away from. Now I have less pain and I can work towards my fitness goals. Dr. Tara is…

Dr. Tara has been an integral part of my healing journey. For years I was told my pain would get better with less stress and muscle relaxers. It didn’t get better.

I have been going to Kaizen Centre for Health for over a year with a bad lower back and sciatica pain. I threw out my back several times last year, and Dr. Tara has helped me recover and gain mobility and flexibility helping alleviate the issue.. The pain has been unbearable at times, and basic tasks like walking seemed impossible. If it wasn’t for Dr. Tara O’Brien and her staff, I do not know what condition I’d be in. Even though my pain and symptoms occur from time to time, seeing Tara on the regular has helped me get back to a normal active way of living. Thank you!!
I have been going to Dr. Tara for about 6 months now. My goal was to get back to the gym without injurying myself. She helped with my alignment and pain relief. I'm more confident doing movements at the gym that I normally would shy away from. Now I have less pain and I can work towards my fitness goals. Dr. Tara is wonderful and her staff is friendly. I can't believe I use to "live with the pain" before. Visiting her office is now my self-care ritual.

Dr. Tara has been an integral part of my healing journey. For years I was told my pain would get better with less stress and muscle relaxers. It didn’t get better. After only a few weeks with regular appointments with Dr Tara, I feel better than I have in years (maybe even a decade). I am sleeping better, less headaches and less pain in my back and neck overall. Her staff is excellent and accommodating and Dr. Tara listens (listens!) to me and does not force a regimented treatment plan-she works with your schedule and insurance coverage and I can’t tell you how rare that is and so appreciated. A few years ago I had PT treatments from this office and it was excellent then, hence my recent return. You will not be disappointed!
Hi Lauren! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for trusting me to be part of your healing journey. I’m so happy to hear that after returning to the office, you’re sleeping better, experiencing fewer headaches, and feeling better than you have in years. It means so much to know that you appreciate my personalized approach and that you felt heard and supported throughout your care—we’re truly grateful to have you back!
Dr. Tara is absolutely wonderful! She is caring, knowledgeable, and truly takes the time to listen and understand what you need. I always feel comfortable in her care, and I’ve noticed a real difference after my visits. She genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Dr. Tara to anyone looking for a great chiropractor!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me with your care Lin—it truly means a lot to know that you feel comfortable and supported during your visits. I’m so happy to hear you’ve noticed a real difference and that I’ve been able to help you feel your best!
I started seeing Dr. Tara O’Brien about three months ago after dealing with neck and upper back pain, along with a general sense of discomfort. From my very first visits, I’ve received more than just treatments to address the pain. Dr. O’Brien has taken a holistic approach, providing guidance on posture, lifestyle, and other ways to improve the affected areas and my overall well-being. I believe some of my issues stem from a previous surgery that left me feeling misaligned. Since beginning treatment, Dr. O’Brien has taken the time to understand my concerns and has provided targeted treatments and recommendations each week to help improve my posture and overall alignment. I can honestly say that I feel much better today than when I first started. The combination of personalized treatments, guidance, and a holistic approach has made a noticeable difference. I highly recommend Dr. Tara O’Brien to anyone looking for thoughtful, personalized care and a genuine commitment to improving their overall well-being.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for trusting me with your care over the past three months. Knowing that we’ve been able to address the neck and upper back discomfort you were experiencing, while also working on the postural and alignment concerns you felt were connected to your previous surgery, means so much to me. I’m thrilled to hear how much better you’re feeling and will continue working with you to build on the progress you’ve made and help you feel your very best.
