This condition causes pain spreading (and sometimes pins and needles/ numbness) from the lower back region, down the affected leg to the foot. Sometimes people feel like their leg might give way due to the pain. Sciatica can make it extremely difficult to find even just one pain-free position, usually leading to a lack of sleep and mental fatigue.
Sciatica is often caused by a lower back disc bulge (‘slipped disc’) or spinal wear and tear. We see many cases of sciatica every month, and we help by:
- Easing painful muscles and joints
- Utilising techniques that decompress the irritated spinal tissues
- Encouraging spinal health with targeted exercises
- Providing advice on home care strategies to aid healing
- Providing lifestyle advice to lessen to chances of recurrence
- Providing regular supportive Chiropractic care once you are better, to help you look after your spinal health
- When appropriate we arrange for imaging to assess the disc and nerve health
Chiropractors are highly trained at finding the cause of pain in the spine. During your first appointment your Chiropractor will explain what is wrong, and what can be done to help get you better but more importantly keep you better too.
