Can You Recommend a Good Chiropractor Close in My Area of Tamarac or near By ?

Hi Ladies,

I have never been to a Chiropractor in my life, I think I need one now. During my 2nd pregnancy towards my last 3 mths I developed very bad sciatica on my left side. Now for the past 2 mths I am getting a very painful pain on my left side but with out the shooting pain that runs down your side like it would with sciatica.

It hurts when I bend towards my left & when I pick up the baby. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning my back starts to hurt. But There are days it does not bother me.

Now I think what will help me is a chiropractor instead of going to a regular Dr.

Has anyone been through this ?

Can you please recommend a good chiropractor?

Thank you in advance!

L.

What can I do next?

Hi L.,

I pulled my back several years ago lifting a sofa; I was getting married in 3 weeks and when I went to Dr Grayson I couldn't even bend over to tie my shoe. Needless to say - when we left to get married, I felt fine! I live in Delray and my husband & I still travel to Dr Grayson's office whenever we need him.

Hi L.,
I wanted to share my story. I found a wonderful chiropractor and think he helped in getting pregnant for I have PCOS. Although I had to pay out of pocket, it was much cheaper than my healthcare copays. His name is Dr. Fay and is in the Winn Dixie shopping center on Pine Isl and 44th. ###-###-####. Tell him I sent you. He's a softy for children. He has expanded his insurances recently so maybe it can work for you. I started with him around Aug of 2006 and ended pregnant that September. I had the most wonderful pregnancy aside from being high risk including my age. I also had back/neck pains continually. I'm from NY too and have no family here either. It sucks.

Hey L.,

I do not live near your area but I may have some advice for you. Chiropractors are great, I use one all the time and I love them! I hope you find a good one! I did have the same problem as you with the sciatic nerve during pregnancy and now my side hurts a lot too. It is muscle related and the best thing that has helped me is taking 800mg of IB Profrin and putting a hot water bottle on it for at least 30 min. and laying down. The same thing happened with my first baby and it took 4 months to heal. Muscles and nerves take time to heal.

All the best to you! Hope this has helped!

I've had good success with chiropractors for my back problems in the past. Recently my regular doctor gave me a set of simple exercises to do every morning and they have REALLY helped (I have a barely touched box of Vicodin to prove it ;) ). He prescribed physical therapy for me, but I never bothered to go since the exercises helped so much. I would recommend seeing your regular doctor for advice first, especially if insurance/ money is an issue. He might even be able to recommend a chiropractor.

Some chiropractors seem to believe that chiropractice is a replacement for ALL medical care, and they freak me out. So you might want to watch out for that. But as far as getting help for back problems, it's worth looking into.

Dr. Markson (Markson Chiropractic) in Plantation is amazing!!!! He does wonders and is so sweet.

dr warren in boca, right off 95, at the wellness center. i saw him when i was pregnant. he will make time to see you since you are pregnant. he saw me several times, even when he had a full day and once stayed late just to help.

My current Chiropractor just moved to Tamarac. His name is Arthur Reid. His wife Hope, is also a chiropractor. She is on here too as a mommy :) They are terrific and I love their practice. I ended up having to leave because I am too far away from their new office now but it sounds perfect for you. They are located off University and 44th.
