How Our Staff Provides Treatment for Sciatica
At Lakewood Ranch Chiropractic we treat sciatica pain. Usually, sciatic pain is caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve located in the lower lumbar area that runs down over the buttocks and down the back legs. This is why many refer sciatica pain as a sharp pain that starts in the lower back and shoots down over their bottom and down into the back of their legs. Sciatica is actually a symptom, not a condition like most people think. It is a symptom caused by other conditions or disorders. Such conditions that cause sciatic pain are misaligned spine, a bulging disc, a herniated disc, and Piriformis syndrome.
Sciatic Treatment
Chiropractic care has often been found to be beneficial in treating sciatica pain. Since sciatic pain is just a symptom a chiropractor will look into the actual cause of the pain and treat the condition, not just the pain. Some treatment tools a chiropractor, may use, are:
- Spinal Manipulation – The manipulation and realigning of the spine used to help reduce pain, stiffness, muscle spasms.
- Transcutaneous electrical Nerve Stimulations (TENS) – A machine that stimulates the muscles using low electrical currents to help alleviate pain, lessens muscle spasms.
- Exercise – Special exercises designed to help reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.
The treatments all depend on the condition behind the pain.
