Lydian Chiropractic
At Lydian Chiropractic we offer Axial Stability Method(R) chiropractic services. Axial Stability Method (ASM) is a precise, gentle, low-force, proprietary technique that is highly effective and can have many wide-ranging benefits for health and well-being. Axial Stability Method works by restoring the structural stability of the core of the body, increasing biomechanical efficiency.

It can be especially helpful for child developmental delays. Whether you've never seen a chiropractor, or have seen a chiropractor in the past, we look forward to having the opportunity to serve your health care needs. Our sunny offices are located in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the Lydian Center for Innovative Approaches to Health, one of the most exciting holistic health care centers in the Boston area.
Services
Lydian Chiropractic was begun in 2001 by Dr. Lydia Knutson and Fred Langenegger, PhD. Originally a solo-doctor practice, Lydian Chiropractic has grown into a multi-doctor practice at the heart of one of the most exciting holistic health centers in the city.

The Lydian Center for Innovative Healthcare, founded by Dr. Knutson in 2007, has rapidly become a national and international destination for hundreds of children and adults who have failed to get help elsewhere.Our unusual offerings of Axial Stability Method(R) chiropractic treatment and Energy Kinesiology, combined with our collaborative treatment plans, get people well who have been unable to get help elsewhere.
Chiropractic takes the view that health and disease is intimately connected to neuromusculoskeletal function. Chiropractic's objective is to improve health by restoring normal function to the musculoskeletal system through adjustments to the spine and related structures. Manual techniques often induce cavitations or "popping".
Dr. Lydia H. Knutson received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree summa cum laude from the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic in 2000. After graduating she trained with David Newton, D.C. in Wellesley, Massachusetts. His groundbreaking work with Axial Stability Method(R) is her greatest influence.
My daughter barely spoke for the first 6 years of her life, allowing her twin sister to speak for her. She suffered terrible headaches and was unable to communicate how she was feeling. The numerous doctors I took her to see concluded she must be making it up. After a few visits with Dr. Knutson she spoke more than she had in her entire life.
The treatments we do at Lydian Chiropractic can be thought of as a form of "informational medicine." Informational medicine is a way of thinking about health and injury that draws on concepts in quantum mechanics and chaos theory. What a treatment does, in the informational medicine view, is to supply information to a biological system (i.e., the body) that enables that system to reorganize itself.

I have been going to Lydian Chiropractic for over 5 years and do not have enough good things to say about every person there. Everyone is treated with all the kindness and respect, they deeply care about helping those they work with AND it works. Their approaches have helped me heal in so many ways and I know how many others they have helped too. Will always highly recommend Lydian Chiropractic.

Since contracting COVID-19 in December 2020 I have had crippling back pain, joint pain, muscle spasms, fatigue, anxiety, and severe weakness in my legs. I was unable to climb a flight of stairs, walk more than 15 minutes or carry a 5-gallon bucket. I am a union painter and had to go on light duty. I saw a neurologist, rheumatologist, immunologist, physical therapist, chiropractor, and of course, my PCP. No one had any answers for how to help me get better. I was frustrated and losing hope. This went on for 8 months until I heard about Lydian Chiropractic. Working with Dr. Knutson has been nothing

I had been having hip pain for mo ths and it wasn't going away. Dr. McQuillen is fabulous and so nice! Always answered my questions and checked in on me frequently when making adjustments. I saw amazing improvement within the 5 weeks. If you need a chiropractor go here!

After having Covid 19 and then being diagnosed with Post Covid Syndrome, it seemed my life would never be the same. The shortness of breath, fatigue, body aches, brain fog and memory loss made it difficult to make it through the day. I found that I had to take a break in between each activity, no matter how simple, and I also needed to lay down for a nap every afternoon.
Participating in this Study has changed my life.
The fatigue, body aches, brain fog and memory loss were the first to heal.
Dr. Knutson has done incredible work, something I describe to family and friends as "magic."
I am now

After MANY years of seeing a chiropractor for recurring back pain, I learned about Lydian Chiropractic. I began seeing Dr. Andrade about a year ago. She asked me many questions and did a full evaluation. Then she did several sessions using the “Axial Stability Method" of adjustment. As she was doing her thing, I pretty much had no idea what she was doing, but since I felt like I'd tried everything else, I was willing to be patient and see if it would help. Dr. Andrade continued to reassess me at each visit and to tweak her adjustments accordingly. For the first time in over 10 years, I was able

Working with the Lydian Center has been the best thing that happened for myself and my daughter health-wise. Chiropractic, homeopathy, and cranial sacral have become the centerpieces of our health and well-being. I am hugely grateful for what they have done for us, including eliminating migraines almost completely and treating almost any and every health issue that arises. I recommend them highly and with enormous gratitude.

After years of back, shoulder, and neck pain, I took the advice of a friend and started chiropractic treatments at the Lydian Center. I couldn't be happier with the results. I no longer have to take pain medication and am much stronger and more active than I've been in years. I also enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Lydian Center, and the very helpful and friendly office staff.

All of the chiropractors at Lydian Chiropractic are fantastic! Their pain-free method, warm demeanor, and thorough examinations have helped me heal from illnesses and injuries - both big and small - for years. I am pretty accident-prone, and they put me all the way back together every time! I'm so grateful for the structural integrity they have helped me build and maintain, and the immune system support they have offered. If you are ready for cutting-edge, pain-free, and long-lasting help for your body - check them out!

Lydian Chiropractic has been an incredible resource for me. The doctors there provide me with exceptional care and healing, and they teach me about my patterns of injury and illness so that I can also take better care of myself. I came to Lydian Chiropractic Center years ago because of my migraines, and after a short time of seeing the doctors I no longer experience severe headaches. I come back to the Lydian Center because I know that they will take the time to figure out what might be going on at the root of my illness or pain and help me to address it. I have utmost respect for the doctors'
