Are you experiencing back pain that travels down your leg and just won't go away? This type of pain, often associated with sciatica or a herniated disc, can interfere with your ability to work, enjoy time with your family, and live your life the way you want. Many people in New York City find themselves constantly searching for real back pain relief, trying everything from medications to temporary therapies, only to find that the pain keeps coming back. The truth is, most approaches today focus on masking the symptom rather than identifying and correcting the root cause.
A root-cause approach in Forest Hills, Queens
At Nektalov Chiropractic & Wellness, conveniently located in Forest Hills, Queens, NY, we take a different approach. I am Dr. Boris Nektalov, a chiropractor and enzyme nutrition specialist, and our focus is on helping patients achieve long-term relief through non-surgical back pain treatment by addressing the underlying cause of the problem. Whether you are dealing with sciatica, a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or chronic lower back pain, our goal is not just to reduce your pain, but to correct the structural and chemical stress that may be contributing to it.
Your consultation: you will be heard
When you come in for your initial consultation at our Forest Hills office, the first step is simple but often overlooked—you will be heard. We take the time to understand exactly what you are feeling, how your pain started, and how it is affecting your daily life. If at any point it becomes clear that your condition would be better managed by another specialist, we will guide you in the right direction within the New York City community. However, if we determine that chiropractic care and spinal decompression therapy can help you, we move forward with a detailed examination.
Examination: spine, imaging, and clarity
This includes a full spine evaluation and, when necessary, digital X-rays to identify issues such as disc compression, nerve pressure, or postural imbalances. If you have already had an MRI, we will review it together so you fully understand what is happening inside your body. Many patients across Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan are surprised to finally see the structural cause of their pain rather than just being told to "manage it."
Care: chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression
Following the evaluation, we begin care with a full body chiropractic adjustment designed to restore alignment, reduce nerve interference, and improve mobility. For patients suffering from herniated discs or sciatica, we may incorporate spinal decompression therapy, a non-invasive treatment that gently relieves pressure on the spine and allows the discs to heal naturally. This is one of the most effective options for those searching in NYC for herniated disc treatment without surgery or lasting sciatica relief.
Enzyme nutrition and the chemical side of healing
What makes our approach unique is that we also address the chemical component of healing through enzyme nutrition and gut health. Many people don't realize that inflammation, poor digestion, and enzyme deficiencies can slow down recovery and contribute to chronic pain. By supporting the body internally while correcting it structurally, we create an environment where true healing can occur.
Realistic expectations
Our goal is for patients to feel significant improvement—even after their first visit—but it is important to understand that healing takes time. If your condition has developed over months or years, it requires consistency and the right care plan to fully resolve. Continuing the same patterns that led to the problem will only allow the pain to persist or worsen over time.
Long-term relief without relying on medications or surgery
The good news is that your body is designed to heal when given the right support. With the combination of chiropractic care, spinal decompression, posture correction, and enzyme-based nutritional support, many of our patients throughout New York City experience long-term relief and regain their quality of life without relying on medications or invasive procedures.
Take the next step
If you are tired of temporary fixes and are ready to address the root cause of your back pain, the next step is simple. Contact our Forest Hills, Queens office at (718) 275-9000 to schedule your consultation. Our team will help verify your insurance benefits or explain affordable cash options so you can begin care without confusion or stress.
You don't have to live with chronic back pain or sciatica. There is a natural, effective solution available right here in New York City—and it starts with understanding what your body truly needs to heal.
