A Multi-Tiered Approach to Treating Sciatica
Anyone who’s experienced back pain knows how excruciating it can be. And when it becomes chronic – that is, lasting months – it can begin to affect all aspects of your daily life.
Sciatica is a particularly painful back issue. People with sciatica often have low back pain in combination with pain that radiates down the leg into the foot, as well as other symptoms such as numbness, tingling, hip pain, and more.
Sometimes, sciatica resolves on its own, but if it lasts more than six weeks, it becomes increasingly difficult to treat. This means it’s important to get your sciatica pain treated properly as soon as possible.
Treating Sciatica Effectively — The Three-Pronged Approach
Since sciatica can be brought on by a number of issues, it can be more difficult to treat than other types of back pain.
Some things that can contribute to sciatica include:
- “Slipped” or herniated disk
- Muscle spasm
- Narrowing of the spinal canal
- Degenerative disk disease
- Subluxated or out-of-position disks
- Pregnancy
Because the causes are so wide-ranging, using a combination of therapies can improve sciatica pain faster and more effectively than one type of treatment alone. For example, chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy, and spinal decompression have all been found safe, effective, and valuable for the treatment of sciatica pain.
Chiropractors are well-trained in each of these therapies, which allows them to use a multi-tiered approach to sciatica pain that can offer relief without surgery or dangerous medications.
