Sciatica can be a debilitating condition that causes lower back pain and may limit your mobility. At NuView Health Medical in New York, NY, we provide various treatments to relieve your discomfort and help you heal. Before visiting us, learn about some causes of sciatica below:
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated. As a result, you may experience pain that originates in the lower back and radiates to your legs and buttocks. These symptoms can also sometimes be accompanied by numbness, tingling sensations, and may worsen with movement.
Causes of Sciatica
There are several factors that can cause sciatica, such as herniated discs or tumors. Some additional causes of the condition include:
- Slipped discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Auto accident injuries
- Sports injuries
- Bone spurs
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
Chiropractic Treatments for Sciatica
At our practice, we utilize multiple methods to treat sciatica. Our chiropractors may start with chiropractic adjustments, which help correct any misalignments causing discomfort and take pressure off of the sciatic nerve. The adjustments may sometimes be combined with massage therapy. This therapy is designed to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and help you heal sooner. Additionally, your treatment plan may include spinal decompression, which gently stretches the spine and allows discs return to their proper place.
What to Expect During Your First Appointment
When you visit us, we will your symptoms with you and perform a thorough evaluation. Once we determine what is causing your symptoms, our chiropractors will develop a treatment plan for your unique needs. You may even have your first treatment during the initial consultation, which can provide immediate relief.
