An Overview of Sciatica from Dalton Chiropractic

At Dalton Chiropractic, there are a number of reasons why people in the local area come to see a chiropractor on our team for chiropractic care. We seek to get to know our patients because this allows us to tailor our treatment plans to meet their needs. During the time that we have been serving the local area, one of the most common issues that we have encountered is called sciatica. Also referred to as sciatic nerve pain, this can be a challenging medical condition for people to deal with. At Dalton Chiropractic, there are a few points that we want everyone to know about sciatic and sciatica treatment.

What is Sciatica?

The sciatic nerve is one of the largest in the body. It runs down the length of the back before it divides into two separate nerves as it passes through each leg. If someone has been told that they have sciatic nerve pain, this is the result of inflammation of this nerve.

There are a few reasons why this nerve might be inflamed. In sciatic nerve pain, the most common issue is that this nerve is irritated in some way, leading to inflammation and pain. Many people describe pain that shoots down their back and into the legs. This often changes depending on the position in which someone sits or stands. Sometimes, this nerve is compressed. In other situations, it might be strained. There are a few treatment options for sciatica nerve pain that we can use.

What are the Sciatica Treatment Options?

If someone has been diagnosed with sciatic nerve pain, there are a few treatment options that we have at our disposal. First, we are going to do a complete evaluation of someone's back and legs. Then, if necessary, we can perform adjustments that will move the vertebrae back into alignment. In many cases, this is enough to alleviate the sciatica nerve pain. In other situations, we can also use spinal decompression, if necessary, to free a pinched nerve. We will do everything we can to make sure that you heal and recover naturally. We will treat your sciatic nerve pain without the operating room.
