Several of our patients have suffered from or currently suffer with the symptoms of sciatica. This is a debilitating condition that causes mild to severe pain, tingling and numbness in the lower back, hips, thighs, legs and feet. The good news is that most people can recover from the condition by undergoing chiropractic treatment.
Sciatica is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. This irritation occurs when compression or subluxations within the spine cause discs to bulge or herniate, placing pressure on the sciatic nerve. Some patients also report muscle weakness in the lower extremities, as well as a burning sensation. Spinal subluxations may be caused by a trauma, personal injury or by a lifetime of poor posture and sleeping habits.
Brentwood Chiropractor Treats Back Pain and Other Symptoms of Sciatica
Here at Premier Family Chiropractic in Brentwood, we know how uncomfortable sciatic irritation can be. Back pain is the most common symptom, though it may be accompanied by other types of discomfort as well. After several treatments, our goal is to relieve compression in your spine, allowing the discs to heal and your body to rehabilitate without the use of invasive treatment methods, such as surgery.
We work hard to reduce your pain using massage therapy and physical adjustments, and then we work to alleviate your symptoms permanently by treating the underlying cause of your condition. Our chiropractor is committed to helping patients recover naturally whenever possible. We believe that back pain and other musculoskeletal symptoms may be more easily avoided by participating in an ongoing wellness plan that involves visits to the chiropractor.
