A Chiropractor's Touch for Treating Sciatica

By Genevieve Cunningham

If you have never experienced the pain of sciatica, you are definitely fortunate in this regard. Sciatica, a difficult to understand and treat ailment, is incredibly painful. For some people, the pain is so great that it disrupts everyday life. Fortunately, there is a little bit of hope out there for sufferers. Take a look at how seeing a chiropractor today may help you treat sciatica and live pain-free.

First, Let’s Talk About Pain

The pain stemming from this condition is wide ranging. Some people may only experience a mild discomfort or numbing sensation. Other people may suffer from a debilitating pain, tingling in the legs, or a shooting pain that starts in the lower back and continues down the leg. The pain is usually located in the lower back, buttocks, and the legs, especially heavy on one side or the other.

Next, Let’s Talk About the Cause

Sciatica is a broad term used to describe a number of problems. It gets its name because the side effects that people suffer all stem from problems with the sciatic nerve. It is when pressure is placed upon, or when this particular nerve is pinched, it causes the discomforts previously discussed. So how does the nerve get into a bind? It could be the result of an injury or pregnancy, or in some cases, the exact reason for the initial start of sciatica is completely unknown.

Finally, Let’s Talk About Treatments

Doctors may direct their patients to a range of exercises to improve their condition. But another very effective method is to include chiropractic care into your life. Chiropractors focus on the health of the spine, and all of the nerves that are attached to it. When they manipulate the vertebrae of the spine into its proper location, it may release the pressure on this nerve, thus eliminating the pain that comes with it. Is it a cure-all? Unfortunately, it’s not. Can it help? Many patients are finding that when it comes to dealing with the pain of sciatica, chiropractic care is proving to be one of the best options.
