Help for Sciatica in Green Bay
Known for its distinct pain radiating from the lower back down through the buttocks and legs, sciatica is a common yet often misunderstood condition. It typically affects one side of the body and can present as anything from a dull ache to numbness or even sharp, shooting pain. If you’ve been sidelined by sciatica symptoms, chiropractic care can provide effective relief and restore your quality of life.
Understanding Sciatica’s Causes and Symptoms
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. There can be different causes, including a herniated or bulging disc, spinal misalignment (subluxation), or muscle issues like piriformis syndrome. In some cases, sciatica pain may also be linked to spinal stenosis, a condition that often causes discomfort in both legs rather than just one.
Precise Diagnosis With Motion Study X-rays
To accurately pinpoint the cause of sciatica, our chiropractors perform a thorough examination, which may include motion study X-rays. These X-rays help identify misalignments or restricted movements in the spine, allowing Dr. Leah and Dr. Brooke to target the exact areas contributing to your pain. With this precise information, they can craft a tailored treatment plan to address the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.
Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments for Lasting Relief
Chiropractic adjustments aim to relieve the nerve irritation causing sciatica symptoms. Using gentle, targeted adjustments, our chiropractors realign the spine to reduce nerve pressure. For many patients, this approach offers relief without medication or invasive treatments. While some patients may feel better right away, chronic cases often require consistent care to achieve optimal results and long-term relief.
A Drug-Free Approach to Pain Management
Unlike medications that merely mask symptoms temporarily, chiropractic care addresses the root cause of sciatic pain. By realigning the spine and promoting proper nerve function, chiropractic adjustments help relieve pain and support your body’s natural healing processes.
