Chiropractic Office Moving in Boston and MetroWest

If the practice has imaging, get the x-ray company's pull-out and hook-up dates before choosing a Saturday. The usual rhythm is patients Friday, crew Saturday on request, patients again Monday.

Chiropractic offices around Greater Boston are often ground-floor suites in plazas on Routes 9, 1, and 135, or in town centers like Franklin, Natick, and Needham, with a front door on a parking lot. That makes the carry easy, but a heavy table on a curb, a lip, or a wet ramp needs care. Offices in medical buildings in Brookline and Newton book a freight elevator, and property management expects our insurance paperwork before it holds one; we send it on request. In winter we salt and cover entrances, because a table on ice is the worst case.

Vinyl table tops split along the seams when someone grabs them to lift, so tables are fully wrapped and moved by the frame, not the upholstery. Electric tables are lowered all the way before they are unplugged, so they travel with their center of gravity as low as it goes. Drop sections are locked, and headpieces and armrests are secured or removed as the manual says.

Therapy modality units are packed in padded boxes or ride on their carts with cables bagged. At the new office, each table goes to its room, is set on the floor where the doctor wants it, and is raised and lowered once to check it works. Patient files, if the practice still has paper, are packed and sealed by staff.
