At White Chiropractic, we have been treating sciatic nerve pain for many years. Sciatica is a painful condition when the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in the body, becomes irritated, inflamed, or compressed. Sciatic nerve pain is felt running downward from the lower back area through the hip area and down one side of the body. Our chiropractors will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine what is causing your sciatic nerve pain before creating a chiropractic care plan to address it.
Symptoms of Sciatica
Sciatica’s most common cause is a slipped disk, herniation, spinal stenosis, or osteoarthritis, which places pressure on the root of the nerve. Some of the symptoms one experiences from an irritated or injured sciatic nerve include the following:
- Pain that shoots from the lower back down one leg, although both legs are possible
- Numbness and weakness throughout the low back, hip, leg, and feet
- Pain that typically gets worse when sitting in one place for an extended period or performing specific movements
- A feeling described as “pins and needles” in the legs or feet
Chiropractic Care for Sciatic Nerve Pain
A chiropractor seeks to adjust and manipulate the spine to reduce the pressure on the afflicted nerve. This will relieve the pain and encourage healing as the spinal adjustment increases blood flow to the region. In addition to the recommendation of lifestyle changes, our chiropractors can use these alternative health treatments –
- Massage Therapy
- Craniosacral Therapy
- Therapeutic Services
- Massage Chair
- Electrical Muscle Stimulation
- Ultrasound Therapy
- Spinalator/Intersegmental Traction
- Corrective Exercise
- Acupuncture
