Chiropractic Care for Sciatica
Sciatica is among the most common pain complaints. Many people, however, do not really understand sciatica and how chiropractic care can help. At Boyd Chiropractic Centers, serving Castle Rock CO, we see many people with sciatica. Keep reading to learn more about this disorder and how we can help.
What It Is?
Sciatica is a common problem which manifests in individuals suffering from herniated or bulging discs. This disorder is a result of the compressed sciatic nerve. The compression of this nerve, results in pain which usually begins in the lower back and travels in waves down into the legs. Many people suffering from sciatic pain report that the pain will fluctuate from one leg to the other.
This type of pain is often identified as tingling, stinging or a pins and needles sensation. Some people also report experiencing dull aching and numbness. The pain can be concentrated in the back, buttocks, legs and even down into the feet.
This pain can move to different parts of your body because the sciatic nerve runs down both legs.
What Can I Do?
Seeking out a chiropractor who is experienced in sciatic pain is one of the best ways to deal with this problem without surgery or drug intervention. Many people who are looking for a drug free way to deal with pain, have found help through chiropractic care.
Using pain killers for sciatic pain is often not beneficial because it does not get to the root of the problem, which is the compressed nerves. Chiropractic care can help deal with the compressed nerves causing your pain so that you can experience lasting pain relief.
