Understand Sciatica and Symptoms

Sciatica is a term used to describe pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back, through the hips and buttocks, and down each leg. This pain is often caused by a pinched nerve or multiple pinched nerves, usually due to a herniated disc or bone spur pressing against the nerve. Common symptoms include shooting pains, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness in the affected leg.

Chiropractic Treatments for Sciatica

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating sciatica. Our chiropractors will thoroughly examine the root cause of your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan to help alleviate your pain. The treatment options include the following listed below:

Spinal Adjustments

Spinal adjustments are a cornerstone of chiropractic care. Our chiropractors use specific techniques to realign the spine, taking pressure off the pinched nerve and reducing inflammation. These adjustments can help alleviate back, lower, and leg pain associated with sciatica.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment using motorized traction to stretch the spine gently. This stretching helps relieve pressure on the affected nerve, promoting healing and reducing pain.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can help relieve muscle tension and spasms, contributing to sciatic pain. In addition, massage therapy provides relief and promotes healing by targeting tight muscles and trigger points.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy exercises strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, improve flexibility, and promote proper posture. Our chiropractors will create a customized exercise program to address your specific needs and help prevent future sciatic pain episodes.

Lifestyle Modifications

In addition to in-office treatments, our chiropractors may recommend lifestyle modifications to help manage your sciatica symptoms. These may include ergonomic adjustments to your workspace, maintaining a healthy weight, and incorporating regular exercise into your daily routine.
