What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a medical condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the human body. The sciatic nerve originates in the lower back and runs through the buttocks and down the back of each leg. Sciatica typically affects only one side of the body. When something goes wrong, you may experience severe pain that can keep you from walking. Even if the pain is relatively mild, it may keep you from living your best life while suffering.

Treatment for Sciatica

The treatment for sciatica depends on the underlying cause and severity of the symptoms. In many cases, sciatica can be managed effectively with common therapies. Although, sciatica doesn't always go away and can worsen if you leave it untreated. People usually try an over-the-counter painkiller, especially if it has a more serious cause, such as a herniated disk or bone spur.

How Our Chiropractor Can Help

Our chiropractor spends years learning how to treat pain to offer holistic methods. Chiropractic adjustment and massage are some of the most common physical techniques. Still, our chiropractor will also advise you on posture, exercise, and nutritional choices to help you feel your best.

Before starting treatment, our chiropractor will take X-rays to ensure there isn't an obvious physical cause of your suffering. Once you discuss your problems, our chiropractor will use these methods to help you get the best results.
