Voted Wellesley's Best Chiropractor — 2015
What Is Chiropractic?
The purpose of chiropractic care is to restore and maintain the integrity of the relationship between the brain, the spinal cord, its nerve roots and all the cells, tissues, and organs under its control.
These nerve pathways are housed in and protected by the cranial and spinal bones (vertebra). Slight misalignments, distortions or imbalances of these protective structures can cause a disruption of the normal transmission of neurological impulses through these pathways, thus effecting the optimal functioning of the entire body.
How Can Chiropractic Help You?
Why is a Proper Nerve Supply so Important?
Without an unimpeded nerve pathway, between your brain and spinal cord, the control and coordination of all tissues, organs and systems in your body is compromised.
One of the most damaging neurophysiologic phenomenon that interferes with the optimal functioning of the nervous system and affects the overall health of human beings is a subluxation.

Nutrition
We live in a time of fluctuation, seemingly limitless choices and varying stress levels. While in a perfect world we might be able to get all the nutrients we need from our food this in not the case for most. Eating on the run, fast food, depleted soil, GMO products, skipping meals, extreme stress levels, high activity levels and inconsistent eating habits all make it difficult to consistently make the best food choices.

Patient Testimonials
I trust both Dr. Marty and Dr. Erin Rosen with my health and well being. I have being going to Wellesley Chiropractic for many years now and can say wholeheartedly that it has made a huge difference in my life. When Dr. Erin joined, I was so pleased with her skill and ability that I see her as often as Dr. Marty. In fact, I've had such a great experience I trusted them with the care of my newborn granddaughter! After just two adjustments, she went from sleeping only 4 hours per night to between 10-12.....at only 8 weeks of age! Now, with another grandchild on the way, I will certainly bring him/her for pediatric care.

Dr. Rosen's Chiropractic Education Materials
Chiropractic Educator
Over the past several years, while maintaining a private practice, Dr. Rosen has traveled nationally and internationally teaching SOT® Chiropractic and Pediatrics. In an attempt to make his teachings more available to the chiropractic profession he has complied a series of DVDs and manuals of his work.
These DVDs and manuals are a compilation of years of teaching and lecturing. It is his intention to keep the work of Major DeJarnette, DC alive, and forever available to chiropractors. He is also dedicated to giving chiropractors the tools and skills necessary to take care of children and to inspire them to expand this branch of chiropractic.

New! Pediatric Chiropractic Care - 2nd Edition
We are excited to be launching our 2nd Edition of our book Pediatric Chiropractic Care. We have completely revised Chapter 3, now called The Pediatric Exam, to give the practitioner a more concise step-by-step approach to evaluating the pediatric spine and nervous system. We have also added several charts, a more detailed index and improved explanations of spinal and cranial evaluation and adjusting protocols.
This comprehensive book is a complete guide to pediatric spinal and cranial evaluation and adjusting procedures. It can be used to supplement your current practice paradigm or as a guide to develop an effective and comprehensive approach to pediatric chiropractic care. There are over 200 pages filled with pictures, charts, diagrams and step-by-step instructions for dozens of spinal and cranial adjusting and evaluation techniques.
If you are new in practice or a seasoned chiropractor this book will be a valuable edition to your pediatric practice.
Praise for Dr. Rosen's Chiropractic Books, DVDs and Seminars
Dr. Rosen is an excellent professor, who is patient and thorough when it comes to the examination and treatment of cranial dysfunction. I had the pleasure of attending one of his pediatric seminars through the ICPA and have been able to implement the basics in my own practice. He is very knowledgable about his craft and most importantly he is willing and happy to give advice outside of the classroom.
