4 Ways to Correct Sciatic Nerve Pain
The most common cause of Sciatica is a disc in your low back. The disc in your spine bulges backwards and compresses one of your exiting nerves that travels down your leg into the foot. Even small bulges can cause severe pain. The Sciatic nerve is actually comprised of many nerves. This disc will compress or irritate one of these nerves. The nerve involved can, most of the time, be easily diagnosed due to your specific symptoms. Knowing the nerve affected tells us, the chiropractor, which disc is causing the pain. To correct this condition, 4 protocols are used as described below:
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression
This machine may look intimidating, but it gently applies a negative pressure to your disc and pulls it back into place. It’s a 100% completely painless treatment.
McKenzie Method
This method has been around for decades and has stood the test of time. By extending your lower spine into specific positions, this also pulls the involved disc back into place. These exercises can be done at the clinic and at home.
Spinal Adjusting
Adjusting the spine where misalignments are located. When your spine is structurally secure it can function as it needs too. This corrects the vertebra that surround the disc.
Postural Muscle Correction
Most people have dysfunction in their spinal stabilizer muscles. Even sometimes in people who are very fit, many different weaknesses occur. We diagnose the weak area and apply custom exercises. These can and will be shown in the clinic and eventually performed at home.
Conclusion
Through addressing all 4 area most of the time your body will respond and start to help itself. The correction rate is very high as long as you do your homework. There are exceptions when the disc bulges into the cord itself. In this instance you will experience extreme symptoms such as loss of bowel & bladder function. This is rare and have only seen one in my 24 years of practice.
