What is sciatica?
Your sciatic nerve runs from your lower back to your feet and is the longest nerve in the human body. When it becomes compressed or irritated, you can feel the pain along the entire length of the nerve. So you may have pain in your lower back, your hips, your legs, and your feet.
Sciatica can be caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, or a back injury and can be difficult to treat using conventional medicine. although it can sometimes resolve on its own over time.
Chiropractic care for sciatic pain
Chiropractors are experts in the musculoskeletal system, so not only will they be able to clearly identify what is causing your sciatic pain, but they can also devise a treatment plan that can treat it effectively and precisely. Chiropractic adjustments can help to realign the spine. If the misalignment in your spine is leading to pressure on your sciatic nerve and causing the pain, then realigning your spine will relieve that pressure and, in turn, reduce your pain.
​
Your chiropractor may also suggest other pain-relieving treatments as well supporting you in remaining active. Although you are in pain, ensuring that you remain physically active will give your body its best chance at healing itself from sciatica. They can also suggest specific exercises that can help to reduce your sciatic pain while you are living with the condition.
Non-surgical Spinal Decompression for Sciatica Pain
Non-surgical spinal decompression works in a similar way to traction but uses a precise computer-controlled mechanical table to ensure that your spine is gently stretched in the specific region that it needs to be and to the correct extent.
​
Spinal decompression can be an effective treatment for a herniated disc (one of the leading causes of sciatica).
When the spine is stretched, this creates negative pressure in the space between the discs which can bring any bulging disc material back into place, and it also promotes healing nutrients to flow to the area. Even if your sciatic pain isn't caused by a herniated disc, spinal decompression can also help with your pain by reducing the compression on your sciatic nerve.
​
You don't have to live with sciatic pain in silence. If conventional treatments aren't working for you or you want to try something that is non-invasive and drug-free, chiropractic care and spinal decompression therapy are both safe and effective options that can reduce your sciatic pain and improve your quality of life. If this sounds like something that is perfect for you, just get in touch with Zahn Chiropractic Clinic and find out how we can help you.
