Did you know sciatica is one of the most common conditions we treat? The sciatic is the biggest nerve in the human body. It starts in the lower back and runs all the way down the leg to the foot. Depending on how much pressure is on the nerve will determine how far pain extends. Sometimes it will just go to the buttock, hamstring, or calf, and sometimes all the way to the foot. Symptoms are usually pain but can also include radiating numbness or tingling into the lower leg and foot.
The most common cause of sciatica is a bulging or herniated disc that puts pressure on the nerve where it starts in the spine. Modern medicine addresses this with a pill for pain, shots to numb it, and in some instances surgery.
Thankfully, we have a great way to handle this condition without drugs, shots, or invasive surgery. We offer spinal decompression. This program reduces the size of the disc bulge or herniation, decreases inflammation in the nerve, and is the best non-drug and non-surgical way to relieve pain. Recent studies show this program to be effective just over 90% of the time.
If you want a true solution to the problem and not just something to mask the pain, spinal decompression is one, if not the best, choice you can make. Our clinic specializes in treating pain related to disc problems in the spine. We have the training, equipment, and correct protocol to help. Sciatica can be a life-changing condition, but we are here to help you get back to normal.
