Chiropractic Treatments For
Sciatica
Overview
Sciatica is a condition caused by the irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, which runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. It often leads to pain, numbness, and weakness, primarily on one side of the body. Sciatica can be triggered by herniated discs, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis, leading to inflammation and intense discomfort. While sciatica affects millions, many individuals turn to chiropractic care for a non-invasive, drug-free solution to alleviate their symptoms.
Symptoms
- Burning sensation or tingling in the buttocks or leg
- Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot
- Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting, standing, or sudden movements like sneezing or coughing
- Discomfort localized on one side of the body
Treatment and Care
Sciatica is often caused by the misalignment of the lumbar spine, irritation of the sciatic nerve, or injury to the lower back. Left untreated, these issues can lead to chronic pain and even long-term nerve damage. Over time, sciatica may result in increased wear and tear in the spine, affecting mobility and overall well-being.
We carry out a thorough assessment to provide a precise diagnosis prior to starting any treatment. From there, we create a customized treatment plan to support the relief of sciatica symptoms and the return of function. Among our techniques are posture correction methods, therapeutic exercises, and chiropractic adjustments. We believe that holistic, drug-free approaches to medicine are the way of the future, which is why our philosophy is based on natural remedies and preventive care.
