Tired of dealing with sciatica?

Sciatica is an issue that many patients come into our office with. Often very painful and has a negative impact on many areas of their life. It’s always our priority to help these individuals reduce and eliminate sciatica pain with chiropractic but also prevent it from returning.

So what is sciatica? Sciatica is a broad term for pain that results from the sciatic nerve being irritated. The sciatic nerve is made up of lower lumbar and sacral nerve roots that travel down from the back, through the buttocks and into the leg. At any point along this pathway the sciatic nerve can become irritated and cause many different symptoms of pain and discomfort. Sciatica can affect many daily activities due to the the pain and discomfort. It often keeps people from doing the things that they love. It can even affect quality of sleep, ability to work or stay active. It’s never a pleasant experience, so getting to the root of the issue quickly is so important.

We often find with our patients that the irritation is from tension in muscles or ligaments resulting from a misaligned pelvis or low back. Some of our patients have seen other providers for muscle work and therapy before coming to us and have little to no improvement. This is because the true source of the issue has not been addressed. We always look first at what is misaligned that is causing this irritation as well as why it has misaligned. We then begin the adjusting process to correct these misalignments and reduce the sciatica pain. Chiropractic is a great way to reduce and eliminate sciatic pain due to its benefits to spinal alignment, muscle and ligament tension reduction and better nervous system function. It addresses and corrects the root issue rather than just treating the symptoms.

If you deal with sciatica give us a call. We would love to help you get to the root cause and start your healing process as quickly as possible. The faster you can get back to feeling and functioning great!
