TestimonialsCatherine BAfter spending years at a chiropractor in NYC I finally stopped going as I didn't see many positive results. He did what he needed to do and I would leave. After moving to Greenwich almost two years ago I had a minor fall that cramped my neck. I knew I needed a chiropractor but after my last experience wasn't all that excited. After vacationing in northern Arizona frequently I had found a fabulous chiropractor that was more into the holistic approach, I didn't think I'd find anyone that great here. But I did! Luckily when I Googled chiropractors in Greenwich, Greenwich Wellness stuck out to me. After only a couple of visits not only did I feel better but I was found out that they did acupuncture. I had done it before but didn't feel it had helped. I tried it again with Greenwich Wellness and am AMAZED at how they know exactly what's going on with my body and where the points need to be to get me back to optimal health. I spent YEARS in the city on antibiotics as I suffered from chronic sinus infections. I am happy to say that I have not had a sinus infection in about a year. Dr. Massoud introduced me to Standard Process(SP) supplements. Between my adjustments, SP and acupuncture as needed, my body is able to fight off the infections on its own and it never gets to a point where I feel horrible. I may feel like I'm getting sick and think "well NOW I'll have to go to my doctor for antibiotics". After one trip to Greenwich Wellness and I am if not 100% better, at least 80% better and fine within a day. I can't imagine how my body would be had I not stumbled upon Greenwich Wellness. I would still be taking antibiotics which ruin your immune system and would still be in pain. In addition, Greenwich Wellness has also been able to help my six year old daughter when she's been sick or had an ear infection. No antibiotics needed! Dr. Massoud has not only adjusted my neck, given me acupuncture and informed me about SP but also genuinely cares about my well-being. No matter what ails me, he will help. I can't speak more highly about Greenwich Wellness and I wish everyone would go! If you have a health issue that you think they can't help you with, try them. You'll be pleasantly surprised as I was and continue to be. It helps to have on-sight massage therapists, Dr. Mattison who also is amazing and will explain to you exactly what's going on with your body. The friendliness of the "front office staff" is amazing and their knowledge in the SP products is amazing. GW is a one in a million type place and we as a family are happy to have them in our lives. THANK YOU GREENWICH WELLNESS!!!!! Charolette W.On the recommendation of a friend and my yoga teacher I hobbled into your office with a hip injury barely able to walk . After one session of chiropractor and acupuncture the pain had decreased. After three sessions I could walk comfortably and after a week it was almost as if nothing had been wrong. On further investigation it was found that i was an accident waiting to happen, years of sports and misalignments being ignored had left me with bones out of place and muscles to match. With several visits and some deep muscle work I am now much better and know what to do should i ever find myself in the same situation again. Many thanks Marie M.I heard about Greenwich Wellness from some of my fellow Master's Swimmers. I was having some shoulder impingement problems. My fingers would go numb at night and in the pool. It was there that I discovered the "Graston Technique". Within weeks Tom had given me more flexibility in my shoulders and I felt like a different person in the pool. Since I have started going to Greenwich Wellness Tom has worked on my shoulders, back, illotibial band, hamstrings, achilles tendon and feet. I am also a competitive rower so I always have some little issue crop up. I have years of physical therapy experience but I find I am achieving much quicker results from Tom and his Graston tools. PaulieI have Arthritis in my neck and lower back. My last four vertebrae have bone spurs and curving of the spine. This puts my pelvis out of line and makes the Discs compress causing severe pain. Dr. Massoud X-rayed my back and determined my treatment, which consists of decompressing my vertebrae, working on my neck and upper back, also an Exercise program that was shown to me by Tom, who also does therapeutic stretching on my visits. Then lastly Julia does Massage Therapy. All of these Treatments allow me to walk 4 or 5 miles a day and Exercise at the Stamford Athletic Club three times a week. It also allows me to play Golf, which makes me very happy! Raymond FI was injured the day after Christmas in 2010 shoveling snow out of my driveway before work. I felt a twinge in my back while I was shoveling and when I got out of my car at work I could not stand up straight. I was referred to Greenwich Wellness by my trainer and a co-worker and when I walked into the office I honestly feared the worst. After a consultation and treatment from Dr Massoud I started feeling better almost instantaneously. After about 2 weeks of treatment and acupuncture I felt that not only was I over my injury, but that my back was better and stronger than it was before my injury. Over the past 2+ years I have gone into Greenwich Wellness for minor aches and pains, some serious pain, and just for tune-up treatments. Every time I walk out of the office I feel better than before I walked in. The entire staff is courteous, accommodating, and honest which is always a big relief when it comes to seeing a medical professional. I would highly recommend Greenwich Wellness for any sort of chiropractic and orthopedic issues you may have. You will be thankful you did, I know I was. Tabatha S.Thank you Greenwich Wellness for all you have done for our family. The healing that has taken place under your care is nothing short of a miracle. We came to you in the spring of 2011 because my 8 year old son had been experiencing extreme pain in his knees for two years as a result of knee cap fractures. No one could help him! I brought him into your office on crutches and after one adjustment and one acupuncture treatment he was running and playing that evening. Words can't express the impact your office has had on our family. My son was able to play again and be happy. Just recently, Mikey came down with a severe stomach virus. He was very ill for 4 weeks and missed 9 days of school. After several trips to the pediatrician and a pediatric gastrointestinal specialist, I turned to your office. Once again, where the other doctors did not know what was wrong or how to help him, after one adjustment and some Standard Process Supplements, Mikey was like a different child within a couple hours. I saw the color change in his face, he was laughing and playing again. Dr. Massoud has also treated my 3 and 6 year olds for viruses and ear infections. My children's ear infections were cured with just an adjustment to their neck, no antibiotics. The pressure was alleviated from their ears within an hour or two. I have suffered for 20 years from neck and back pain due to a car accident resulting in spinal fusion. As a result of the adjustments from Greenwich Wellness, I have very little discomfort and am less stiff. Prior to my treatment, I always felt aches and pains somewhere. I have also suffered for years of a terrible sinus condition. I usually have around 6 really bad sinus infections a year that require 1 or 2 rounds of antibiotics per infection to become better. Finally, I have relief with an occasional adjustment and some Standard Process Supplements. I find that I have had fewer and less sever infections and have not been on any antibiotics. As soon as I feel pressure, I go for an adjustment, start my supplements, and it clears up right away. Greenwich Wellness is now our family's first stop for our health needs! Thank you for helping our family live healthier and happier lives. Kate CDr. Massoud is simply one of the most talented, caring and trustworthy doctors that I have ever come in contact with. My entire family including my newborn daughter, my 5 year old son, my husband, and my 68 year old mother have all been treated by Dr. Massoud over the past couple of years for various issues, and we have all benefited immensely from his incredible knowledge of the human body and how it operates--and his magical hands!! The best testimony I can give is that I placed my 2 month old daughter in his hands to treat her for her chronic ear infections and I had no hesitation doing so--I trust him and his instincts implicitly. I find his dedication to each one of his patients and their well-being remarkable--it isn't something that you see often today. I recommend Dr. Massoud and everyone in his practice wholeheartedly and without reservation. Thank you Dr. Massoud!! Ivo G.Dr. Massoud, I was referred to you from another health care provider who spoke very highly of you and suggested I make an appointment. I did not expect much since I had been to every type of doctor before. All of them had a different technique, which helped a little, but never brought me to the point where I was excited about continuing treatment. I am very impressed that after only one month of your treatments plus the whole food purification/detoxification program you prescribed I have seen a dramatic improvement in how I feel. My mobility has come back to a point where it was twenty years ago, especially in my neck and shoulders. The constant pain I felt for years from my condition has subsided and I am optimistic about the future. I look forward to doing the things I enjoy that used to be too painful in the past. Your ability to assess the problem and get to the root cause is second to none. For the first time ever I can confidently say that I have found a doctor that actually heals their patients! Sincerely, Lidi H.At fifteen years old I sustained a severe lower back injury which eventually deteriorated the overall health of my spine significantly. By twenty I had limited range of motion through out my entire back. I was very active and an exceptional athlete my entire life, however, since being wrought with debilitating pain which ultimately led to weakness and immobility, which finally led to emotional depression. I sought care from a plethora of physicians: Orthopedics, Neurologists, Physiatrists and the like, but to no avail. I finally sought out a chiropractor and my condition improved only slightly. For roughly five years I saw over twenty different chiropractic physicians who administered varied forms of care and my overall being improved drastically. I reached a point where the pain was still unbearable at times but compared to how I was in the past I was relatively content. I finished college and returned to Connecticut weary about the chiropractic care out here relative to the care I was receiving in Boulder, CO. (A haven for good chiropractic). Given my acquired knowledge of the spine from seeing so many chiropractic physicians over the years I developed a keen ability to recognize pain and deficiency in my spine even if it was very sleight. I also developed the ability to differentiate good physicians from the bad ones. After my first visit with Dr. Adam Massoud, all of the care I received prior to his, now seems mediocre at best. Dr. Adam Massoud's ability to locate pain in one's body and interpret where it originates from is second to none. I have a game with him which I play now, which he has won more often then not. I do not tell him where my back is out of place and where my pain is because I want too see if he can find it without any of my help. Literally, as he assesses my spine on his table as I lie face down, he pokes and prods until he finds the problematic area and holds his fingers there as I wince in pain and proceeds to say "This is where you are off." That said,I am taken back by his talent to hone in on the real problems I have and fix them. I feel better than I have in years and now I am convinced that my overall quality of life has not plateaued and that I can continually improve my well being. I have been able to get back in the gym and work out, ski and play competitive sports again. Dr. Massoud has enabled me to live a normal life again. Ilir "Lidi" RosaAnna A.As you are aware, I have suffered from a gradually "evolving" array of symptoms and pain throughout my body for more than half of my life. For approximately 15 years I went to many medical specialists to address isolated issues, chronic pain in my wrists, chronic neck pain, digestion difficulties. As the years passed, I began to experience fatigue and an overall feeling of lack of well being (sleep disturbance, significant weight gain which was partially the result of the medicines being prescribed to address my symptoms, muscle and joint pain throughout my entire body, poor concentration, and a feeling of hopelessness regarding never having a day without pain and fatigue). I finally went to a doctor who diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. I was sent to many specialists who ruled out Lupus, Lyme's Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Neurological difficulties. With the diagnosis came the message, "You have to learn to live with it." So now I had a name for my symptoms and chronic pain, but not real answer in how to treat it and improve the quality of my life. With the diagnosis, I tried all kinds of medical treatments and interventions including traditional physical therapy and physical therapy in warm water, acupuncture, chiropractic care, traditional medicine which was treating each of my individual symptoms with minimal relief. Within the first few days, I noticed a significant difference in my adverse symptoms, which as I mentioned I had experienced for over half of my life. As I noticed a remarkable relief in my usual symptom picture, I began to feel confident that I could begin to discontinue some of my typical medicines I was on; after all, if I was cleansing my body, taking traditional medicine seemed contrary to this process. I had always been so fearful to stop taking my traditional medications since historically experimenting in this way usually led to an unbearable amount of pain. But I also was in conflict about having to take so many medications with so little improvement in my symptoms and quality of life. Gradually, I began to remove the muscle relaxing agents, the anti-inflammatory agents, the sleeping medication, the anti-acids, and the diuretic medication and to my utter amazement I began to feel less fatigue, better concentration, and a more restful sleep. However, I began to experience increased heart burn, which Dr. Massoud acknowledged was a result of years and years of treatment with anti-acids which rid my system of the necessary amount of acid to digest and absorb nutrients from my food intake. With this he provided a natural alternative to assist in restoring my digestive system. In a relatively short period of time (approximately 2 – 3 weeks) I began to experience a remarkable improvement in how I felt, unlike any other treatment or intervention I had tried over more than 20 years. The SP Cleanse program taught me that what you put in your body does matter, despite being told by countless professionals that "diet" could not effect change for my symptoms. I have changed my life style; I eat much more nutritionally and generally feel well. Now, I am "not perfect" but I have experienced a remarkable improvement in my symptoms and my quality of life for a condition where most doctors tell you, very ignorantly, "You have to learn to live with it." Thank you Dr. Massoud. Now my goal is to maintain the improved health I am experiencing and I look forward to continuing our work together toward this goal. RosaAnna Daniel V.Dr. Adam Massoud, I would like to thank you for bringing me back on the road to recovery. When I first started to see you, I did not know if there was any hope for me. I had come off my fourth elbow surgery due to a chronic baseball injury. I had no real positive expectations. My situation was desperate, but after a few months of therapy, I not only improved, I actually have been able to get back onto the baseball diamond. I feel better now than I have felt in years. I know that I feel this way from a combination of the adjustments, nutrition, and advice from you. I believe that any patient will benefit from your treatment. By the end of this summer, with continued therapy, I will have my 90mph fastball back again. Thank You, Cristina C.I have been in and out of chiropractic offices for the past 20 years trying "this and that" approach to relieving chronic neck, back and hip pain. In just 18 months, I have reaped the benefit of consistent, progressive results working with Dr. Adam Massoud, and I couldn't be happier! He is truly a gifted and committed chiropractic practitioner! He has a deep knowledge of bio-mechanics, an innate ability to explain the bio-mechanics in layman's terms, and an intuitive understanding of his client's needs that are unmatched in my opinion and experience. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone interested in really getting noticeable, and lasting, chiropractic results. Cristina |
