Symptoms And Sciatica Treatment

Usually, the pain radiates from the lower spine of the patient to their buttocks. And then it ends in the thigh or calf. So discomfort can be felt almost everywhere along the pathway of the sciatic nerve. Common symptoms include:

  • Lower back pain
  • Hip pain
  • pain gets worse when you sit
  • Tingling or burning feeling down the legs
  • Shooting pain which might make it hard for the patient to even stand up
  • Numbness, weakness, or difficulty in moving your foot or leg
  • Typically it affects only one side of the spine.
  • There might be numbness in one part of the leg and pain in the other

Causes Of Sciatica Pain

Sciatica usually happens when your sciatic nerve gets irritated. So it could be by a misaligned vertebrae or a herniated disc in the spine.

Some more causes of sciatica can be:

  • Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. This is a condition in which the spinal canal in lower back of the patient gets narrowed.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease – a condition in which discs breakdown. Because these discs offer cushion between the vertebrae
  • Pregnancy
  • Muscle spasm in the buttocks or back

How Chiropractic Care Helps With Sciatica Treatment and Pain Management?

Chiropractic care may turn out to be a perfect choice in managing and relieving sciatica pain. So getting routine chiropractic care allows patients to have a safe, non-addictive, and non-invasive sciatica treatment. So it also makes a perfect alternative to over-the-counter pain medications or prescription medications.

Chiropractors usually give a gentle, non-addictive, and non-invasive therapy to the patients of sciatica pain. Chiropractors deliver an adjustment to the affected area of the spine. It helps reduce any spinal misalignments or joint restrictions. All this while trying to reduce any inflammation. And also improve the function of the affected joint along with the nervous system. Therefore the increased joint mobility and improved function of the nervous system allows the body of the patients to manage sciatica symptoms in a better way.
