Sciatica, what is it?

Simply put, sciatica is nerve pain caused by sciatic nerve inflammation, situated in the lower back that extends down each leg’s back. Radiating pain originating in the lower back that makes its way down the back of the legs is the main symptom of sciatica. Some symptoms include numbness in the legs or foot, tingling and fatigue. Sciatica nerve pain is something to watch for, as many as 40 percent of people will receive it during their lives.

How does Sciatica benefit those with chiropractic care?                                                                                             

Chiropractic therapy can be a perfect way for sciatica discomfort to be treated and eased. Routine chiropractic care offers patients with sciatica therapy that is a convenient, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to prescription or over-the-counter pain drugs (OTCs) that are widely used to help patients relieve their pain.                                               

A gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment, known as chiropractic correction, is offered by chiropractors. In an attempt to minimize pain and enhance the function of both the injured joint and the nervous system, chiropractic changes reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body. Your body has the potential to help control symptoms caused by sciatica by increasing joint mobility and enhancing the nervous system function and spinal health.                                                                                           

Here are some of the clinical advantages that will offer people with sciatica pain and distress with chiropractic treatment and chiropractic adjustments:

• Decreased pain and discomfort
• Reduced inflammation
• Increased motion spectrum
• Increased versatility
• Higher exercise and lifestyle
