I treated a woman who suffered from headaches for 20 yrs last week. She was on all kinds of meds, closed herself in dark rooms, ice, the works. Started Tues , slight improvement , with Thurs s treatment pain resolved . Sat pain returned, treated again , pain resolved . Following Tuesday headaches returned not as severe, she said treatment wasn’t working , i treated her again pain resolved.
I asked , had you ever beeen treated where the pain resolves in 1 treatment , she said no .. I asked “ then how can you say it s not working?”
She answered bc the pain came back.
I had explained that since she suffered for 20 yrs, it would take time to permanently resolve her headaches , but she believed once the headache was gone it would stay gone. I explained eventually w time it would…with better understanding she was reassured and left the day headache free.
Understanding the sequence and pattern of improvement is key to the treatment we provide.

Spinal hyper mobility is a misunderstood phenomenon. There are those people that suffer diffuse hyper mobility which is often a congenital condition. In this case joints overall throughout the body are hyper mobile due to ligament laxity. And then their is segmental spinal hyper mobility which I suffered from for years before correcting it with ABC .
In this case bones in a region of the spine become hyper mobile or move to much because over years of trauma the person loses the natural curves of the spine when viewed from the side. Their bones as a result of losing these curves lose the normal biomechanical stability of “ locking mechanism “from one bone to the next . As the curves are lost the joints begin to move more than normal . Hyper mobility also occurs because one area of the spine with suffer trauma and get stuck in a forward position and cause other areas to compensate by moving more than normal . In both cases patients feel crackling or popping of their spines and injury more easily. Since the body actually functions as a unit , you can have segments of the spine moving too much or too little causing all kinds of symptoms . Pain , Headaches, nausea, dizziness , vertigo , migraines, gastric issues, almost anything. This is common in athletes, people who suffer repetitive traumas , or prior car accidents.
An ABC chiropractor will slowly re-establish your curves, lending more stability and eliminating your hyper mobility , predilection for injury and pain. If you are having such issues call 212 682 4311 for a free consultation.

The dreaded Sciatica. How many know what Sciatica really is ? It is probably the most common condition we see in our office . Sciatica is sometimes classified as a diagnosis or more accurately as a symtom of the underlying cause.
So sciatica is often an irititation or "pinching" ( more encroached than pinched)of the sciatic nerve caused by a swollen or injured disc, muscle squeezing along the nerve s path , crooked structure impeding the nerve’s path causing iritation . The nerve is made up of more than 1 nerve root coming together and running down the back of the leg.
The pain can be and often is debilitating, with back pain and nerve pain down the back of leg. It can last days, months even longer. Depending on severity it can cause paresthesia or numbness, muscle weakness and loss of sensation along the nerve’s path .
Treatment includes chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy, steroid injections, pain medication, accupunture, hypnosis, and in the most severe cases even surgery....
How do we treat it , why are we different and why are we so successful ?
The standard way a provider will treat you most often concentrates on the low back ( where the nerve root of the sciatic nerve arise ) , the leg and muscles..that s fine but is somewhat limited. Imagine treating the low back but ignoring the rest of the spine. Or moving everything around and in a haphazard fashion hoping it will work . If a car’s frame is bent and a tire wears out, changing the tire without correcting the frame will only lead to the tire wearing out faster again and the car getting poorer gas milage and functioning badly ..
Using Advanced BioStructural Correction we treat the whole Body AS A UNIT . That is the key...to really correct the spine and take pressure off the nerve you must straighten THE WHOLE SPINE AS A UNIT. We do not twist the neck one way, then the other, or push down on your back then twist the lower spine.That will never make you striaighter. We check each individual bone in the spine and using a unique procedure exclusive to ABC and correct the spinal bones one at a time in the correct sequence , depth and direction . The end result is the spine as a whole will untwist or uncoil as a unit, becoming stonger, straighter and eliminate your pain. Are you tired of you back pain ? Do you have sciatica that will not go away ? Try ABC . You have nothing to lose but your back pain. Still not sure?
