Sciatica
If you need pain treatment for your sciatica, chiropractic may be able to help you.
Sciatica involves the sensation of pain running through the pelvis and down into the legs. It can range from a painful tingling to a disabling agony. Sciatica is generally caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve which eventually compresses it, leading to pain.
The sciatic nerve is very long. In fact, it's the largest nerve in the body, starting at the bottom of the spine and extending to the nerve endings down in the legs. The nerve can become irritated at the spinal level and/or at the pelvic level, leading to the condition known as sciatica.
Because the nerve is so long, there are many different factors that can cause the nerve to be compressed. It's important to correctly diagnose which of the factors is causing the sciatica. While certain treatments will ease the pain, they may not correct the underlying problem, allowing for frequent re-aggravation of the sciatica.
Our technique is drug free and non-invasive, and it is designed to give the spine back its flexibility, thereby relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Sciatica has often been known to flare up during pregnancy, as the body bears extra weight and rearranges its stance to accommodate it. Unfortunately, because the weight is in the belly area, many women tend to lean slightly backwards from their upper torso.
Rather than suffer through your pregnancy, seek chiropractic treatment to ease the sciatic pain. Our chiropractic techniques are safe for you during your pregnancy. If sciatic pain is ruining your life, book an appointment with us for sciatic pain treatment.
