Living With Painful Sciatica Symptoms? Try Chiropractic Care
The pain of sciatica can be debilitating, interfering with your everyday activities and diminishing your quality of life. Although you may have been told surgery might be necessary, it’s worth exploring nonsurgical treatments first. Our chiropractor at Florida Spine & Wellness Group has extensive experience treating patients with sciatica in Coral Springs, FL. Through chiropractic treatments, you may be able to get relief of your sciatica pain, numbness, and tingling.
Could You Have Sciatica?
Are you experiencing sharp, burning, or throbbing pain that starts in your lower back and goes into your hip and buttock? The pain may also extend down the back of your leg. In addition, you may have numbness or tingling along the same areas. In more severe cases, it can also lead to muscle weakness and even incontinence.
If so, then it’s possible you may have sciatica. Sciatica isn’t actually a specific condition; rather, it’s a group of symptoms that can arise when one of the sciatic nerves is compressed or irritated. Sciatica can be caused by a range of underlying health problems, such as disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Sciatica Patients
If you’ve experienced any of the possible symptoms of sciatica, chiropractic care could be a good choice for you. After evaluating your symptoms and checking for spinal misalignments, Dr. Goodman may perform a spinal adjustment. This can help relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve. Specific rehabilitative stretches may also help reduce tension on the sciatic nerve and nearby muscles.
Another helpful chiropractic technique is lumbar traction. Traction gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on the intervertebral discs and helping the area heal.
