Chiropractic Care for Sciatica Relief!
Sciatica can be a debilitating condition for many people. The pain from sciatica shoots down one or both legs, and it can be so painful that normal activity is hindered; sometimes to the point of disability. Anti-inflammatories and pain medications merely put a band-aid on the problem. Chiropractic care in Framingham, MA and elsewhere may be the best solution.
The sciatic nerve is not being directly compressed, but an injury or herniated disc at the base of the spine compresses the nerves that eventually connect to the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic treatment for sciatica involves realigning the spine and reducing inflammation, thus correcting the problem which then relieves the pain.
Chiropractic care serves to treat the whole person rather than simply the condition. What caused the injury or strain on your lower back? Are you using proper lifting techniques? Are you exercising properly to strengthen your lower back muscles and make them less susceptible to injury? Do you have excessive abdominal weight (a main culprit behind many lower back issues)?
Advice on exercise, lifting techniques and proper nutrition through diet and supplementation will be part of your chiropractic treatment for sciatica.
