What is Sciatica?
The sudden onset of lower back pain can be troubling in many ways. Your concern may also grow if the pain you previously felt in your lower back travels to other parts of your body. If the symptoms we just described closely resemble your current condition, you should take that as a possible sign that you have sciatica.
Sciatica is a condition that develops due to sciatic nerve damage. You may have a herniated disc or bone spur that is putting pressure on one of the sciatic nerve’s roots.
Pain from sciatica is often described as a burning sensation. Some people also describe it as a sharp, shooting pain that travels along the sciatic nerve’s path from the lower back to the heel.
Since this injury is known to affect the lower part of the body, it may only be a matter of time before you start experiencing mobility issues. As the injury persists, you may also experience some numbness and tingling sensations.
Not seeking treatment will only lead to your injury getting worse. Eventually, you may experience difficulty controlling your bladder and bowel functions.
Don’t allow your sciatica to diminish your quality of life. Partner with Dr. Matthews of Matthews Chiropractic Acupuncture + Rehabilitation so you can receive expert sciatica treatment in West Palm Beach, FL.
What Sciatica Treatments Can Your Chiropractor Provide?
Requesting sciatica treatment from a chiropractor is highly recommended.
Chiropractic adjustments are excellent treatment options for sciatica because they directly address the underlying cause of the symptoms. Your chiropractor can reposition your spinal column to free your sciatic nerve and protect it from additional damage. Our office also provides traction, in which the spine is gently stretched to allow herniated discs to move back into place.
Therapeutic massage and dry needling can also be included in your sciatica treatment regimen. These treatments help reduce inflammation connected to the misalignments causing sciatica and relieve pressure from swollen soft tissues on the nerve.
