Sciatica
If you feel chronic pain that travels along your lower back, your hips and along one leg, chances are good that you have pinched your sciatic nerve. When you have this happen, you may feel pain that you could rate as merely a mild annoyance or it could be severe enough to make doing everyday activities nearly impossible.
There are times when this will correct itself on its own and the pain will go away. If you find that it is not, then come visit a chiropractor on our team. We at Four Points Family Chiropractic in Austin, TX, are here to help.
What Causes It?
One cause could be a herniated disc. This can not only causes lower back pain, but can also result in a pinched nerve in the sciatic nerve area. You might also have a bone spur that is pressing on it. If you have a condition where your spine is narrowing, then you might also be a risk for developing sciatica.
Chiropractic Care
When you first visit us for chiropractic care, you may see immediate results. However, the pain may return after a while. Therefore, we may recommend multiple sessions so you can get long lasting pain relief and pain management. We might also recommend that you do stretches and exercise.
Chiropractic adjustments from a chiropractor on our team can go a long way to helping your get lasting pain relief from your sciatica but we may also recommend other treatment options if you have persistent chronic pain. Lower back pain can also be helped by corrective exercises that are designed to help promote blood flow and increase muscle strength. We may also provide lifestyle advice to help you over come your lower back pain. Sometimes, our own lifestyle choices can be responsible for our chronic pain.
Chiropractic care is an all-natural and holistic way to treat lower back pain. We do not rely on potentially addictive prescription pain killers to help you find relief from your sciatica pain. Our holistic approach focuses on finding the root cause of your condition, rather than only treating the symptoms.
