Chiropractic Offers Effective Therapy For Sciatica

By Anita Valerie Baltrus


Every day many people must deal with the pain and discomfort of sciatica. It might be in the form of throbbing or stabbing pain down one leg or perhaps in the low back region. Pain can felt in the feet also. Fortunately, chiropractic therapy is helping many people find needed relief from this sometimes disabling condition. Here is additional information on this common problem and reasons why chiropractic can be so effective.

Sciatic nerve pain or sciatica gets its name from the nerve that begins in the lower part of the spine. This nerve is the largest and longest nerve in your body and runs from the back to the feet. If something causes irritation or inflammation, pain may be felt anywhere along the nerve.

Most of the time sciatic nerve pain is brought on by problems within the lumbar or lower spine. Your spine is constructed of bones (vertebrae) with soft disks that serve to cushion the bones. The spine is home to a large network or nerves that send vital information from the brain to all body parts. When something is amiss with the spine it can place pressure upon these nerves, resulting in pain.

Many back problems are caused by disks that bulge or protrude. In fact, disks can rupture. These problems are often referred to as "slipped disks" or "herniated disks". Most people respond positively to modern chiropractic therapy. In fact, 90 percent of people with sciatic nerve pain notice improvement.

When you opt for chiropractic care you may receive a number of therapy options. Physical therapy with exercise can strengthen muscles, relieving pain. Electric muscle stimulation works well for many. Also, gentle spinal adjustment methods allow the spine to return to its natural state, easing pain in the process. Traction methods can also be very effective for relieving nerve pressure.

The October 2010 edition of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics reports that sciatica can be successfully treated with spinal manipulation. As many as 60 percent of people (that have exhausted other forms of therapy like exercise and pain drugs) respond to chiropractic. Results are often just as impressive as people that had back surgery procedures.

When you see your chiropractor for back injury you have a greater chance of avoiding surgery. Studies reveal that people with injured backs were less likely to undergo some kind of surgical procedure when they sought chiropractors before consulting with surgeons. In fact, 42.7 percent that saw a surgeon first, ended up having surgery. Only 1.5 percent of chiropractic patients underwent surgery (Spine 2012).

If you are interested in chiropractic spinal adjustment therapy and its benefits, it is best to see a trusted chiropractor. In fact, in the United States, chiropractors are the main ones performing lumbar spinal adjustments. It is simple to contact a chiropractic professional and make an appointment. Your first visit includes a consultation as well as a complete exam. The chiropractic doctor offers many forms of therapy and will customize your care to your specific needs. All of your options for sciatica relief are proven to be effective and are completely natural. Chiropractic is safe and gentle enough to help the elderly and small children.
