SCIATICA AND BACK PAIN

As a carpenter, I do a lot of manual labor and a lot of people depend on me. When I threw out my back, I have severe pain in my lower back. In the past, I tried physical therapy, muscle relaxers, and narcotics for 18 months, but I felt I needed something more. So, I went to Waltham Chiropractic, where I received an adjustment and massages. After 3 sessions over a 6 day period, I was able to walk my daughter down the aisle at her wedding and dance the night away! I was also able to get back to work. Waltham Chiropractic provided me with one of the most enlightening experiences that I have ever had with physical health.

I had been suffering from severe lower back pain for five months when I came to see Dr. Duffy at Waltham Chiropractic. The pain in my back  was running down my leg, and sometimes I was in so much pain I couldn't even breathe. My pain was definitely a 10/10. I had tried physical therapy to relieve some of the pain, but it didn't help. I was told that if my condition continued to stay the same, then I would be forced to have back surgery. Before going to that extreme, I decided to see a chiropractor. I was recommended by my boss as well as five others to see Dr. Duffy. 

At Waltham Chiropractic, I saw immediate results. By using the machines and receiving massages, my muscles in both my neck and back became much more relaxed and ready Dr. Duffy's adjustments.

Through my treatment, Dr. Duffy has "GIVEN ME MY LIFE BACK."

I am off prescribed pain-killers, I no longer have a stiff neck, and I no longer feel tense. I would highly recommend chiropractic care to others with my symptoms. Since I have been at Waltham Chiropractic, I have experienced no pain in almost two weeks. In fact, the pain has so drastically decreased that I feel loose. I am finally ready to play kickball again!

I came to Waltham Chiropractic with lower back pain and left leg pain, both 10 out of 10. I was unable to sleep because of the pain and could not work, which made me concerned about providing for my wife and two sons. I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon who found I had a bulging disc and that I would need surgery. The pain killers I was given only made me drowsy and I was able to dose off for about an hour before the pain woke me up again. I was planning on the surgery but then I tried chiropractic care with Dr. Duffy.

AFTER ONLY THE FIRST TREATMENT [AT WALTHAM CHIROPRACTIC] I WAS ALREADY WALKING STRAIGHT UP!

Within two weeks I was able to get back to work and no longer needed surgery. I have been returning for maintenance once a month for the past five years and am now able to participate in sports as well as coaching! The results have been so significant that I even brought my wife who has recently begun her treatment. If Dr. Duffy ever decides to retire or give up I don’t know what I would do. I would recommend Chiropractic care with Dr. Duffy to anyone.

I came to Waltham Chiropractic with severe lower back pain. I was not able to bend over or sit down without shooting pain. I had seen another chiropractor before seeing Dr. Duffy, but he did not really help. I had also tried using ice, heat, and resting in a flat position, but those methods did not work either. At Waltham Chiropractic, however, I finally found relief. Dr. Duffy provided very comfortable adjustments without hurting me. At my other chiropractor, I was often nervous at each appointment because his methods of treatment would leave me in pain. On the other hand, at Waltham Chiropractic I was very relaxed. I saw great results and most importantly, relief from the pain I had. I am now able to sit and bend comfortably. I definitely would recommend Dr. Duffy to others, and in fact I have recommended him to my friends and family. Dr. Duffy is a good doctor, and he cares about his patients and their results.

"I AM VERY HAPPY I FOUND HIM!"

I came to Dr. Duffy’s office with intense heel pain rating 9 out of 10, radiating up through my leg and to my shoulder of my left side. The severe pain affected my daily activities and forced me to have to stop my work-outs at the gym. I also suffered from migraines lasting three days at a time which caused dizziness. After visiting with Dr. Duffy, my heel pain is now only 1 out of 10, the adjustments have significantly improved my entire left side, and my migraines are nearly gone. My tendinitis that has lasted 10 years now is finally feeling a lot better with Waltham Chiropractic’s care. Dr. Duffy has also helped improve my digestive system with natural supplements, as it is weak thus preventing me from weight loss.

“They [Dr. Duffy and David Chang] have helped a lot; this has been really beneficial, no doctor care needed”. My health improvements have resurrected the ability for me to carry out my everyday life and,

“NOW I CAN WORK OUT AGAIN!”

I came to Waltham Chiropractic with lower back pain of 10 out of 10 which interfered with my sleep. I also had sciatica with 6 out of 10 pain, which radiated down through my legs and to my toes. My upper back pain and right shoulder pain was 7 out of 10 which worsened with movement. The combination of all of this caused extremely painful headaches 2-3 times a week and occasional dizziness. Because of my condition I was unable to carry out my daily gardening and other strenuous outside activities. Now that I have been coming to Dr. Duffy I am able to do my outside tasks and I have also started walking flights of stairs lately! My pain that was 10 out of 10 is now less than 5 out of 10, and given my age and what I do, I feel that there is no question that this is a very positive experience; I hope it continues!

“I think [Dr. Duffy and David Chang] are both outstanding and they are both very talented. I’ve been to chiropractors other times in my life but I never experienced the combination of the therapy and the massage- it’s a winning approach and I find it very positive!”

When I came to Dr. Duffy’s office I had severe pain located in my right lower back. It had started 2 weeks before and did not improve. The pain was a 5-9 on the pain scale of 1 to 10.  In the morning I could not straighten up for the first half hour.  During the day when I tried to walk the pain became excruciating. To put it simply, I was disabled.

Dr. Duffy did an examination and took some X-rays of my back and neck. He explained how the pain was caused by compression of the sciatic nerve from misaligned bones and a degenerated disc in my lower back.
Dave, the massage therapist, did some therapeutic massage and then Dr. Duffy did an adjustment.  Following the first two adjustments I didn’t feel much relief, but after the third visit it really felt much better. 
The day after the third adjustment I was suddenly able to stand up straight and walk around with hardly any pain.  I was really surprised at the improvement. I would definitely recommend Waltham Chiropractic to others who have the same problem that I did.

I came to Dr. Duffy with severe back and neck pain of 7 out of 10 that was present 75% of the time each day.  I started becoming concerned when I felt numbness in my arms and found that I had a herniated disk.  I tried physical therapy for a few months but the pain was only relieved during the visits and would return soon after I got home.  After about 3 weeks with Dr. Duffy I saw gradual improvement of my health.  I have been with [Dr. Duffy] for about 10 months now and I REALLY DON’T HAVE THE SYMPTOMS ANY MORE!  The overall quality of my everyday life has been much better.

“[Dr. Duffy] actually cares, you’re not just a number, you’re not just another patient; he actually cares”. [Dr. Duffy] certainly is not just focused on the one issue you have but willing to help with other issues you might happen to have. [Dr. Duffy’s] service is genuine; I would recommend him to everyone. My plan is for a once a month visit but because of work and travel but there are times I can’t get there for 5-6 weeks and I definitely look forward to my visit as soon as I can get there.  I always feel relief the second I leave the office!
