Sports and being at your finest is at the core of our philosophy. And Dr. Simms is completely in line with that!

Her love for helping athletes of all abilities is even evident where she first started practicing, in the heart of sports nation: right outside of Boston, MA in Cambridge, MA.

Dr. Laurissa Simms is a graduate of New York Chiropractic College and University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She further perfected her chiropractic skills by volunteering at numerous elite athletic events throughout the northeast, from Lake Placid to Boston. This was the start of her quest to help all those who want to be active, from elite athletes to weekend warriors. Taking that same sort of athlete mentality, Dr. Simms has continued to train to be a better chiropractor. Her certifications are too long to list here, but make sure to ask her about them the next time you're in.

And as any athlete, Dr. Simms has goals for her patients. Her main goal: patient empowerment.

We are champions of everyone being an athlete, if you're a walker or marathon runner, we've got your pace covered and know how to treat any of your aches and pains and keep you in optimal health.
