Lower Back Pain Relief Specialist in Riverdale, NJ

Drug-free treatment for lower back pain and sciatica, with same-day appointments. Dr. Jack A. Atzmon, DC.

Lower back pain that keeps coming back is not a waiting problem

Most lower back pain gets given time first. Rest, ice, a few days off the gym. When it settles down and returns, or starts running into the hip and leg, waiting stops being a plan.

Dr. Atzmon treats that pattern every day at NJBack Chiropractic Center in Riverdale, without drugs and without surgery.

Is my lower back pain actually sciatica?

Sciatica means a nerve is involved, not just muscle. It usually shows up as one or more of these:

  • Pins and needles, tingling, or numbness in one or both legs
  • Burning or shooting pain down the leg
  • Leg weakness, especially foot drop
  • Pain concentrated in the buttock, hip, and low back

If any of those sound like you, a nerve is under pressure, and that responds to a different plan than ordinary muscle soreness. Telling the two apart is the first thing Dr. Atzmon does.

How soon can I be seen?

Same day, in most cases. Early treatment matters with lower back pain, and we hold appointments open for exactly that. We are also open Saturday mornings, so being seen does not have to cost you a day of work.

Do you fit back braces for lower back pain?

Yes, in this office, fitted by Dr. Atzmon himself. He has fitted thousands of them.

For a disc under load or a nerve under pressure, a rigid medical brace takes weight off the disc in a way no elastic support can. You are examined, fitted, and wearing it in a single visit, and once your in-network deductible is met there is no additional copay for the brace.

Already tried a back brace that did not help? Here is why.

Will my insurance cover treatment?

We are in network with most major New Jersey carriers, and no referral is needed to see a chiropractor here.

We verify your benefits before your visit and go over what to expect, so nothing about the cost is a surprise from us.
