I started seeing Dr. Hanley in October of 2012. I had been diagnosed with a pinched sciatica nerve about 3 years ago. I went to a medical doctor, who only prescribed drugs for pain. Then I went to a chiropractor that I had used for several years and after 3 months he said there was nothing else he could do for me, so I turned to acupuncture. Acupuncture helped me manage the pain and I saw some improvement in the numbness in my upper thigh, which all the doctors had told me that I would not regain, but after a certain point I saw no further improvement for some time.

Then I was introduced to Dr. Jessica Hanley and went to my first appointment with some reservations because I have tried so many different things and thought she was just “another” chiropractor. I could not have been more wrong! Dr. Hanley did a full physical exam, took X-rays, and explained exactly what was wrong and how we were going to fix the problem. I was also concerned about the time and the financial commitment that was going to be required for my relief care but after the first few visits with Dr. Hanley and the amount of information that I was receiving, the commitment to my general health as well as the relief care of the nerve damage was evident that this relief care was a necessity and not a choice. If I wanted to be drug free, pain free, and improve my overall health, this is what I needed to do and I committed to that.
