One of the biggest misconceptions I see is people thinking sciatica is diagnosed from imaging alone.

But in my office, diagnosis starts with how your body responds in real time.

I use a combination of orthopedic and neurological testing to understand exactly what’s being irritated—and where.

✨ Slump Test – helps assess tension along the neural pathway, especially the sciatic nerve
✨ Straight Leg Raise (SLR) – evaluates nerve root irritation and disc involvement
✨ Bechterew’s Test – challenges the spine under load to reproduce symptoms

These aren’t just “tests.”
They’re ways your body tells us the story behind your pain.

Because two people can both say “I have sciatica”…
👉 but the cause can be completely different.

And that’s why guessing—or just masking symptoms—doesn’t work long term.

In my clinic, we focus on:
✔️ Identifying the true source
✔️ Understanding how it’s affecting your movement
✔️ Creating a plan that actually addresses it

Your pain has a reason.
My job is to find it.

Do you have pain in your breast/chest area after breast surgery/ reconstruction.

Have you ever been told:
“Your imaging is clear.”
“Everything looks fine.”

And feel relieved… but also confused—
Because the pain is still there.

As a breast cancer survivor, I personally know how this feels.

Trying to explain:
The aching
The tightness
The burning
That constant discomfort you can’t quite put into words

And what your really feeling underneath all of that…

The Frustration.
Because nothing showed up on imaging—
So you start to question yourself.

But here is what they don't tell you out loud:

👉 Just because imaging is clear doesn’t mean your pain isn’t real.

This is:
👉 A FUNCTIONAL problem, not just structural.

And it DESERVES attention.

What this can be is

Scar tissue that isn’t moving well
Nerves that are still sensitive or irritated
Muscles that have tightened and adapted after surgery
Changes in posture and how the body now moves and protects

These things don’t always show up on a scan—
But they show up in how your body feels every single day.

And this is where I come in.

As a chiropractor, my focus isn’t just on what we can see—
It’s on how your body is functioning.

That means:
Restoring movement in the spine and rib cage
Reducing tension through the chest and surrounding muscles
Working with scar tissue and soft tissue restrictions
Helping calm down an overactive nervous system
And guiding the body back to moving more naturally again

Because when we improve how the body moves—
We often start to change how it feels.

So if you’ve been told “everything looks fine”
But it doesn’t feel fine…

I want you to know:

You’re not imagining it.
You’re not crazy

And you’re definitely not alone.

There are answers beyond imaging—
And there are ways to actually address what you’re feeling.

One of the things I don’t talk about enough… is how much language matters in healthcare.

So many patients come in trying their best to explain what they’re feeling.
They know some English—but not enough to fully describe their pain, their story, or their concerns.

And you can see it…
The hesitation.
The frustration.
The disconnect.

Then I switch to Spanish—and everything changes.

Suddenly, they open up.
They explain things clearly.
They feel seen. Heard. Understood.

Because care doesn’t start with treatment…
It starts with connection.

And sometimes, that connection begins with simply speaking the same language 🤍

Most chiropractic content online looks the same.
Quick cracks. Fast stretches. Generic advice.
And while there’s nothing wrong with that… it’s not what most people actually need.
Because what I see every day in my office isn’t just “tight muscles” or “a quick adjustment fix.”
It’s people who:
Have been dealing with pain for way too long
Have tried multiple things and have been bounced around the medical system with no real answers
Or feel like no one has actually taken the time to listen
That’s where real care starts.
Not just with what’s going on in your body…
But with understanding the full picture of what you’ve been dealing with.
I don’t believe in rushing patients in and out or giving the same plan to everyone.
I believe in taking the time to understand what’s actually happening—so your care makes sense for you.
Because when you feel heard, supported, and clear on your plan…
That’s when things actually start to change

The worst part of being a provider for me has to be dealing with the dreaded insurance companies! It is so frustrating dealing with denials and fighting for pennies! That is why alot of providers including Chiros are opting out of insurance companies and not accepting insurance. It has been a constant dilemma for me for years and has caused me to stop taking some insurances. But the problem still remains and has not changed for any better in all the years I've been practicing.
Take for instance in this particular scenario. Even if I didn't take insurance, patient walks into my office exhibiting red flag signs that warrant imaging
How do I not refer for imaging? Would it not be considered Malpractice if I didn't?!
Yes very very frustrating ethically and morally for me!

These are some examples of Red Flags I've seen walk into my office that have caused me to refer out. Thankfully over the last 18yrs I have not encountered much 🙏

Some Red Flags I've encountered:
1. SEVERE HEADACHE/WORSE HEADACHE EVER
2. UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT LOSS
3. UNRELENTING LOWER BACK PAIN NOT IMPROVING WITH TREATMENT/WAKE UP AT NIGHT
4. VISION CHANGES AFTER CERVICAL MANIPULATION

Stress doesn't just affect your mind, it tightens your body too!!
Stress manifests as tight neck muscles through a "fight-or-flight" survival response, causing muscles like the trapezius and other muscles to contract involuntarily under mental pressure, leading to stiff, sore, or knotted muscles. Chronic stress prevents these muscles from relaxing, reducing blood flow and resulting in chronic pain, limited mobility, and headaches.
Chiropractic care can help release built up tension by improving spinal alignment, joint mobility, reducing muscle tension and providing simple tools to manage your stress daily.
Let's get your neck and shoulders feeling normal again!

Sacroiliac joint pain can manifest in different ways depending on the underlying etiology. I have had patients describe the pain as:
dull, achy and sharp abs sometimes pain
shooting down into buttock and the back of the thigh

SI joint pain responds well to manipulation, inflammation reducing physiotherapies such as electrical Stimulation, ice, heat and stabilization exercises.
