Managing Back Pain and Sciatica with Chiropractic

Sciatica is a condition identified by the complications it produces in the lower body. In fact, sciatica itself is not a disease, but rather an accumulation of symptoms, like lower back pain, as well as tingling, numbness or burning sensations in the hips, buttocks, thighs, legs and feet.

There are many internal musculoskeletal conditions that can cause painful or uncomfortable symptoms in the lower body. Accidents and injuries are frequently responsible for sciatica -- especially when they cause compression of the spinal discs and infer pressure on the nerves. Without chiropractic treatment, spinal compression can cause symptoms that worsen with time, some of which can be debilitating.

Chiropractic involves the manipulation of the spine and joints using gentle, but forceful pressure. This helps to relieve pressure and tension within the spine and surrounding tissues. We often recommend that our patients undergo additional corrective therapies, such as massage or physiotherapy. By relaxing the muscles and stretching the spine using personalized at-home exercises, the body can begin to heal and symptoms can begin to subside.
