Understanding Your Limits During Recovery

Understanding Your Limits During Recovery
August 13, 2018Dr. Steven Zodkoy, DCLatest Newsbulging discflarelower backrecoverysciatica

Serious low back problems including sciatica, arthritis, herniated and bulging discs require special care.  A lot of patients come to my office with these problems after seeing other doctors because I utilize IDD Therapy and Laser Therapy, both of which have the benefits of relieving pain quickly and rebuilding the muskuloskeletal component for long term relief.

Sheila was referred to my office by her daughter.   I consulted and examined Sheila and determined she had lumbar disc problems, sciatica , arthritis and muscle spasms.  We began treatment utilizing IDD Therapy and LiteCure Laser therapy.  I explained that after 20,000 patients over the last 17 years I have found a pattern for relief.  I shared that good pain relief occurs by the 3rd week, a flare occurs in the 5th week, and full relief is established by the 8th week.  Sheila asked, “Why is there a flare in the 5th week?”  I explained that after a few weeks of feeling well, patients overdo it and cause muscle soreness.  Sheila, like everyone else, said “I wont overdo it! I don’t want the pain to come back.”  I once again said that 99% of the patients say that and still end up overdoing it, which is fine because it shows that they have made excellent progress that has allowed them to increase their activity.

 

 

Today was Sheila’s 3rd visit and she has had no pain since her first session.  I asked how she was feeling and she replied, “I have a lot of pain in my lower back and legs.” I asked her if there was a specific reason why her pain had dramatically increased.  To that, Sheila replied, ” I did some gentle weeding, but took it easy and spread it our over many hours.”  I laughed and explained that while her disc and joint pain has eased, we haven’t had that time to recondition her muscles, which led to the flare.   I also explained that it was great news that she felt good enough to do an activity should hasn’t been able to do for years.

Sheila now holds the record for the quickest patient to disregard my warning about overdoing it: 2 visits.

Wishing you good health,

A true treasure. A doctor, and his staff, that not only cares, but is an expert in his field. I travel from Northern Virginia to New Jersey once a month to see Dr. Zodkoy. A small price for the outstanding and knowledgeable medical care he provides.

Dr. Zodkoy is amazing. He has helped me where an orthopedic doctor and physical therapy has failed. He uses chiropractic techniques, applied kinesiology and nutrition in his treatment plan. He truly works wonders. I have never felt better. You are treated like family from the time you walk through the door. Marie and Christy are always welcoming and pleasant. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I and my entire family see Dr. Zodkoy before anyone else for anything from sports injuries to ADHD to stress related issues. What he does works. He listens and catches things that lead to solutions. He explains what the cause of issues is, how he will treat them, and how long the treatments will take. I have referred dozens of people to him and every one has thanked me for the results they got from his treatments. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I cannot say enough about the treatment that I have received from Dr Zodkoy. I was referred to Dr Z by a friend and I am glad that I made that first appointment. He was able to diagnose my problem immediately. I was truly impressed with the results that soon followed my treatments. I would highly recommend Dr Z based on his experience, knowledge and his ability to get results.

I've had back problems for a very long time. I have 3 herniated discs that have caused me pain for over 15 years, sometimes severely so. After seeing several back doctors/surgeons, one who said surgery was the only option, this scared me away after hearing stories of things getting worse after surgery. I was referred to Dr Zodkoy who has since been a miracle. I no longer have the everyday back pain. I can pick up my kids, go golfing, stand for 14 hours a day which my job requires, and live a normal life. I have been so thankful for his therapies and would recommend him to anyone.
