Sciatica

Sciatica can cause debilitating pain that radiates from your lower back to your buttocks and legs. Not only that, but the condition can also become chronic if it is left untreated. At Davis Family Chiropractic and Massage, PLLC in Vancouver, WA, we provide various treatments to relieve your discomfort and help you heal.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. As a result, you may experience pain, tingling, or numbness. The symptoms can also worsen when you sit for long periods of time or when coughing.

Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica can develop due to a variety of causes. Some of these causes include:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Piriformis syndrome
• Injury
• Excess weight

Chiropractic Care for Sciatica

Chiropractic care can be highly effective in treating sciatica. Our chiropractor will perform a thorough evaluation to learn more about your condition and identify what is causing your pain. Afterward, we will create a treatment plan for your specific needs. Your care plan may include the following:

Gentle chiropractic adjustments to help properly align your spine and take pressure off of the sciatic nerve

Spinal decompression therapy to gently stretch the spine

• Therapeutic exercises and stretches to improve mobility and stabilize the core
• Massage therapy to reduce inflammation and reduce any muscle tension
• Lifestyle advice about posture, diet, activity modifications, and proper lifting mechanics

Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment

The benefits of chiropractic care for sciatica include reduced pain, increased mobility, and improved spinal health. Treatments help address the underlying structural causes of sciatica, such as a herniated disc or spinal misalignment. Additionally, chiropractic care can provide long-lasting relief rather than just temporarily masking the symptoms.
