The recent sharing session on the topic “Drug-Free Treatment for Sciatica Pain” held at ACC Tan Da was not only an opportunity to provide medical knowledge, but also truly became a warm and meaningful space for connection between doctors and our senior participants.
Addressing the concerns of sciatica with Dr Rob
Under the dedicated guidance of Dr. Rob Sleiman – Medical Director of ACC Chiropractic Clinic, the session helped ease many concerns surrounding sciatica, a condition that often troubles older adults. Dr. Rob emphasized an important message: “Treating sciatica is not difficult, the key is identifying the root cause and addressing it correctly and thoroughly.”
Through practical examples and easy-to-understand language, Dr. Rob helped participants gain clearer insights into:
- Why sciatica can be effectively treated without medication or surgery: He explained how Chiropractic care helps correct spinal misalignments and naturally relieve nerve compression.
- Why pain keeps coming back despite treatment elsewhere: Many participants shared that pain relief from medication was only temporary. Dr. Rob pointed out that if spinal structure is not restored to proper balance, the underlying cause of pain remains.
- How to treat correctly and maintain long-term health: Beyond in-clinic treatment, Dr. Rob also guided participants on daily movement, posture, and simple at-home exercises to keep the body flexible and healthy.
More than knowledge – A joyful connection
ACC believes that a positive mindset is one of the most valuable “medicines.” That’s why the session was far from dry or technical, filled instead with laughter, interactive activities, and gentle movement exercises.
It was also a chance for participants to meet peers of the same generation, share self-care experiences, and encourage one another on the journey to better health. The handshakes and radiant smiles after the session became the greatest motivation for the ACC team.
For us, treating illness is only part of our mission. ACC’s greater goal is to build a health-conscious community, one that knows how to love and care for itself properly. Warm, open sharing sessions like this serve as a bridge for doctors to better understand patients, and for patients to feel fully confident entrusting their health to us.
