Sciatica Definition

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica, also known as sciatic neuralgia, is a condition that causes pain in the low back, down the back of the leg, and into the foot. It can make sitting and standing for long periods of time difficult and can lead to weakness, tingling, and numbness in the leg and foot. Sciatica will often come and go throughout a person’s lifetime, causing periods of varying degrees of pain and discomfort. If left unchecked, sciatic pain will generally grow worse and the nerve can become permanently damaged. Symptoms may worsen after long periods of sitting or standing.

The travelling pain that radiates up and down the legs and back, is caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. This nerve originates in the lumbar spine and extends into the buttocks before traveling down the leg to the ankle and foot. When the vertebrae in the low back are compressed, the roots of the sciatic nerve can become pinched and irritated, causing the pain and injury.

Trauma to the discs between the spinal bones can cause one or more discs to bulge, crowding nearby nerves and causing irritation and inflammation. This then makes simple movements, like coughing or sneezing, painful. If this condition is left untreated, the nerve irritation can extend down one or both legs along the sciatic nerves.

So, even though pain is felt in the leg, the culprit is actually the low back. Our chiropractors that focus on sciatica treatment don’t just ease pain, but look for and address the source.

Sciatica Causes

How Do You Develop Sciatica?

There are a number of factors that can lead to sciatica, but it is most commonly caused by disc injuries and bulges. In these cases, the disc presses against the nerve root causing the issue. Disc injuries can occur because of poor posture, repetitive use injuries, and accidents. Sciatica is also common when there are subluxations (misalignments) in the spine due to postural issues, pregnancy, or trauma. Some patients say they simply bent over to pick up a piece of paper, and they were hit with extreme pain. The reality is that the spinal condition was probably developing for quite some time before the triggering incident occurred.

Chiropractic Treatment for Sciatica

How We Treat Sciatica Differently

The sciatica chiropractors or physiotherapists at Corrective Chiropractic in Bee Cave, TX are highly trained to zero in on the source of sciatica and to work with you in determining the most suitable approach to treatment. After a thorough assessment of your unique issue, gentle adjustments are made that will allow the body to recover its natural alignment.

We provide pain relief and help correct the underlying imbalance that produced pressure on your sciatic nerve in the first place. To help with radiating pain, we address the cause through targeted pain relief and long-term corrective techniques.

Some people respond quickly, while others take more time to recover. It depends on the condition of the disc or the joints that the chiropractor has to correct. In most cases, the longer the issue persists, the longer it will take to achieve correction, But the good news is that it typically takes less time to fix an issue like this than it took to create it. Once the position of the spine and discs are improved, patients often report improvements to their overall health.

How NOT to Treat Sciatica

  • Bed rest: sciatica can worsen with bed rest, as symptoms are more prominent after long periods of idleness.
  • Medications: taking medicine doesn’t correct the underlying nerve irritation caused by a bulging disc.
  • Physical therapy: physical therapy will merely increase your tolerance to pain, not address it.
  • Surgery: surgical solutions make irreversible changes to discs or bones.
