Route 301 Low Back Pain: The Middletown Commute That Sits Twice
Route 301 is a seated job before the actual job. Middletown patients sit the highway, then they lift on a site or they sit again in a new subdivision office. The low back gets blamed on the second chair. The first hour already spent the lumbar joints.
At 708 Ash Boulevard we examine how you bend, whether a leg pain is really a nerve, and whether the sacroiliac joint is the side that catches when you get out of the truck. Construction weeks and desk weeks are different tissues. They are not different slogans.
Decompression is in this building when the exam shows a position-sensitive disc pattern. Shockwave is not. Do not book this office for a tendon machine.
If the back started in a crash on 301 or Route 1, say accident when you call (302) 449-0149. That is a documented injury visit, not a wellness slot.

FAQ
Is this the same as sciatica?
Only if the pain travels in a line down one leg and changes with the spine. A lot of 301 backs are the disc or the joint that hates sitting, without a true nerve-root pattern. The exam tells them apart.
Will a lumbar cushion fix the drive?
A support that lets the low back rest can help. It will not fix a joint that has already stopped moving. Use the cushion and still get examined if the pain is there before you reach the job.
How long is a first visit?
60 to 90 minutes. Follow-ups are shorter, which is what makes a bad week possible around a shift.
Are you open after 6?
Weekday evenings end at 6:00pm, with a midday break. Friday closes at 12:30pm. Closed weekends.
