Sciatica and Leg Numbness

(Video Transcript)

Dr. B: Before you came to see us for chiropractic care, what had you done about your back and what kind of problems were you having?

Stu: I had a problem with my lower back. It was causing leg numbness and my neck was stiff – I couldn’t turn my head.

Dr. B: Did you also have problems into your arms too? Tingling and Numbness?

Stu: Yes.

Dr. B: And what had you done prior to coming into the office?

Stu: I had a couple epidermal shots in my back. They did some shots in my neck a couple of times, but they would not last.

Dr. B: So it was getting worse over time?

Stu: Yes.

Dr. B: Was surgery recommended to you?

Stu: No.

Dr. B: Just the epidurals continuing to go on…and the medications.

Stu: Just Ibuprofen.

Dr. B: So since you’ve been having treatment in our office for your spine, what about your neck and arms and what about your low back and legs, how have they been?

Stu: Good. I can now turn my head when I’m driving.

Dr. B: That’s excellent! So it’s made a very big difference for you?

Stu: Yes.

Dr. B: Great. So you don’t see having to go for epidurals again or surgery?

Stu: No. No, that’s why I wanted to try it.
