Beverly Cove, MA Drs and Health Practioners

Christine Lucas, owner of Complete Mind and Body, knows that a fulfilling diet doesn’t just eliminate pounds. It also acts as a springboard to healthy life choices that lead to greater happiness. Her approach to nutrition begins with detailed client consultations to determine their unique nutritional needs; after all, she writes, “one person’s food is another person’s poison.” Lucas also looks at what she calls the “primary foods”: her clients’ stress level, career fulfillment, and whether their exercise regimen ends at bench-pressing spoonsful of ice cream.

Lucas brings enthusiasm and empathy to her practice because she’s tackled health issues in her own life. After a car accident years ago, doctors told Lucas she’d have to give up her active lifestyle due to a back injury and her weight. Undeterred, Lucas lost 40 pounds. Her discipline and dedication to holistic health helped her to reclaim the life she wanted, and she applies these lessons to her present-day clients.

Back when Dr. Jason Chao worked at Brooklyn's Lutheran Medical Center, he received the Resident of the Year award. Today, he brings that commitment to excellence to his family dentistry practice. Coffee and snacks occupy teeth waiting in the reception area, which resembles a cozy living room complete with candles and a rustic stone mantle. On their way to a treatment room, patients traverse a hallway marked by columns and a spacious, open design. Once they climb into the chair, guests bask in the glow of a personal television as Dr. Chao treats their chompers. Chairside TV screens aren't the only entertainment: Xboxes keep thumbs busy, while an Internet station helps gums ingest their doctor-recommended dose of cat videos. Such features echo the practice's dental technology, which includes intraoral cameras and digital x-rays.

Dr. Devorah Feinbloom combines chiropractic techniques, kinesiology, and nutritional know-how with such expertise that Self magazine readers were inspired to vote her the Best Female Chiropractor in Boston. She brings her celebrated care to the confines of her airy, cheery practice, drawing on a variety of services to restore the innate healing knowledge that bodies naturally possess. A warming session in the infrared sauna cues inner systems to banish fatty tissue and toxins, and classic chiropractic adjustments realign wayward vertebrae. Classes and nutritional services supporting mental and physical health round out the menu. No matter what the anatomical need, Dr. Feinbloom’s objective is to bring systems into balance so they can function optimally without drugs, surgery, or lengthy how-to manuals.
