Most people coming from Newton drive, and it is a reasonable trip. The Mass Pike east to the Cambridge/Allston exit, then Memorial Drive along the river to Kendall, takes about 18 minutes outside rush hour. The Pike runs just north of Heartbreak Hill on Commonwealth Avenue. If you prefer the T, the Green Line D from Newton Centre or Newton Highlands runs to Park Street, where you change to the Red Line for two stops to Kendall/MIT; allow about 45 minutes door to door. Our office at 201 Broadway is a 6-minute walk up Broadway from the station, the entrance is on the first floor, and there is free street parking and metered parking on Broadway and the side streets.
The condition Newton residents search for most before landing here is sciatica. True sciatica is pain that travels from the lower back or buttock down the back of the leg, sometimes to the calf or foot, because a nerve root is irritated where it leaves the spine. A bulging disc is the usual cause. A tight piriformis muscle in the buttock or a stuck sacroiliac joint can produce leg pain that looks similar but is not sciatica at all, and the treatment is different, so the first job is to tell them apart. Dr. Bromberg does that with a hands-on exam and orthopedic and neurological testing, with imaging when the findings call for it.
For disc-related sciatica, treatment usually combines adjustment, Active Release Technique for the muscles guarding the area, and home exercise. When pain has not budged with conservative care, spinal decompression is an option for suitable cases. If leg weakness is getting worse, or there is any change in bowel or bladder control, that is an emergency and belongs in the ER, not here.
