Common questions about conditions we treat

Can a chiropractor help with sciatica?

Yes. When sciatica is caused by pressure on the nerve from a misaligned joint or tight muscles in the low back and hips, chiropractic adjustments and muscle work can reduce that pressure and ease leg pain. Dr. Sanio will check for signs that need medical imaging first.

Do chiropractors treat more than back pain?

Yes. At NEWGEN Chiropractic, Dr. Sanio also adjusts shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and ankles, and treats headaches, TMJ pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel and sports strains.

How do I know if chiropractic is right for my condition?

Book a new patient visit. After a consultation and hands-on exam, Dr. Sanio will explain what is causing your symptoms and whether chiropractic care is a good fit. If it is not, he will refer you to the right provider.
