I am suffering from sciatica and wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good chiro. I prefer a female chiro, but if they're really great, I'm not going to be picky. I live in Lexington Park and prefer not to have to travel too far. Thanks!

Dr. Hester at Henry Chiropractic. :yay: :yay: :yay:

Dr. Hester!!

Dr Dix, but he's a real doctor, he may actually cure your problem.

210? Isn't that Waldorf?

Dr Smallwood at Alexander chiropractic 301-737-4007

Alexander Chiropractic Center (http://www.alexanderchiropracticonline.com/)

Dr Smallwood is wonderful!

210? Isn't that Waldorf?

about 10 minutes from waldorf.....worth the trip though i promise.

knew someone would say that...not true, they are docs too!

They are "Doctors of Chiropractic", but they are not MDs or Physicians. Most have not attended nor graduated from a Med School.

Dr. Hester at Henry Chiropractic. :yay: :yay: :yay:

:yeahthat:

HIGHLY reccomended !!

I suggest using Alexander Chiropractor in California, MD. Dr. Smallwood is wonderful!

No they are not MDs or Physicians, but they go to school longer than MDs and also know how to read an x-ray with much more detail and education then a MD can! They can catch a lot of things that MDs and Physicians have failed to see. I would suggest Dr. Smallwood from Alexander Chiropractic!

You should be picky. Just like other Docs they are not not all the same. I used to see Dr Murry and loved him. He stopped seeing patients and it took me several tries before finding another one I liked as well. I now see Dr Winters in Leonardtown.

Thanks, I was going to correct that misconception, but you beat me to it!

Dr. Grimsley at Henry Chiro is the one we go to - especially for sciatica. He has treated everyone from my son (started at six years old) all the way to his 86 yo Grand Mother.

You're somewhat right, but a lot more wrong.

Radiologists are MD's, and Chiropractors are not as trained, nor as capable..

Neurologists are MD's and refer to Radiologists to read X-rays correctly, can prescribe MRIs and CAT scans. In the end a Neurologist, if they do their job, will not see you again. You should never have a reason to continue to see a surgeon, neurologist, or orthopedist once week or every other week years on end.

So over all, they may say they are better trained in SOME ares than general practioners, but when you compare apples to apples there really is NO comparison.

But it's your body. You can chose to feel good a day or two, and go back week after week for adjustments, or you can go to a real doctor and get cured, and hopefully ALWAYS feel better, for a lifetime. Most people come to this realization, it just takes some longer than others.

Valpak had a coupon today for Alexander Chiropractic Center. $37 for a consultation, examination, report of findings and all necessary x-rays.

I made an appointment and will post about the experience.

I have my fingers crossed that it will be all good.

He is at Henry Chiropractic. To break the sciatic pain cycle I had to have a cortisone shot in my periformis (sp) muscle. It turned the pain of like a light switch. Which he referred me to.

I know sciatic nerve issues are very painful.

Dr. Hester is amazing though many hours of study beyond the normal Doctorate of Chiropractic medicine.

Just my experience.

Pain free now for over a year.

I don't have insurance.

This coupon has made me decide to do something I was too stubborn and cheap to do.

If they can't help me I will get an appt. with Hester (once I have insurance)

I have a neck/shoulder issue as well as my legs and arms.

My ins. doesn't cover chiro either., so I don't go like I would like too.

The receptionist told me this (I am concerned about being diagnosed and having a pre-existing condition)

However, I can't live like this.

UGH.

Understood.

Understood.

It was so hard to make the phone call and open up the can of worms. Thank you. :huggy:

Looks like Dr. Hester has a lot of fans here. Count me in too. He is great and will work with you on payment. In fact, he told me that if my insurance decided to stop covering my treatments, he would continue to see me for just the cost of my co-pay which is $30.

Highly recommend Dr. Smallwood at Alexander Chiropractic!!!

I got him. :yay: :yay:

I go back Monday to look at the X-Rays and find out what needs to be done.

I like the fact that the office is in a home...and it's right across the street from me.

Sarah (the office manager?) and Dr Smallwood were both awesome.

The rates are surprisingly low. :bann:

Well, I went to the chiro this morning (or I should say RR pretty much carried me in)

Thank you RR. :huggy:

I am very crooked and my neck is in the reverse position it's supposed to be in. All these years I've been overcompensating with the left side of my body.

He says I'm "fixable" and I want to be fixed even if it takes away all of my savings.

$120/week for about three months, then $80 and finally $40 at the end.

Three appointments a week in the beginning.

He said it will be about 2-3 years before I'm put back together.

Then I should be :bann: :bann: :bann:

My goal is to be back to work before then so I can start a new retirement account.

I hope he enjoys the new car/truck I'll be buying for him.

No sweat! I hope Dr. Alexander passes enough of the proceeds to Dr. Smallwood to actually get that car or truck.

Try BackAtYourBest.com . Dr. Jay is friendly, listens and never put me on a long schedule like that. He said every patient is different and responds differently so he adjusted my care by my improvement. Now I pop in for maintenance when I need it.
