• One of the common issues chiropractors see in
  their patients are those looking for help with
  sciatica. The largest nerve in a person's body is
  the sciatic nerve. It starts at the lower back
  and then travels through the buttocks and down.
  Sciatica happens when that nerve is irritated
  causing a lot of pain. The most usual cause is a
  herniation of a disc that then presses on the
  nerve or pinches it. Other causes can include
  infection, tumors, adjacent bone causing
  irritation, injury, osteophyte, pregnancy to name
  but a few.

• Symptoms of sciatica include as mentioned, pain
  ranging from moderate to severe, burning,
  tingling, numbness that can move around the upper
  buttock and lower back region and even down the
  leg. It can make life difficult, some have
  walking problems or even cannot walk at all,
  bending aggravates it. It is diagnosed after a
  physical and with consideration of your medical
  history. Tests run can include MRIs, CT scans,
  X-rays and electromyograms. Treatments range a
  great deal depending on the cause, the physician
  and the patient. One option if you are looking at
  alternative treatments is to see a chiropractor
  for sciatica Monmouth County or where you are
  based.

• Patients tend to be very much focused on how
  quickly they can get pain relief and how long it
  will last for, which is understandable especially
  if they are in the moderate to severe range.
  Sometimes things are not quite as simple as
  coming in, getting treatment, and leaving
  fulfilled! Causes will affect what treatments are
  safe to attempt and different people respond to
  different treatment plans.

• If you have sciatica Monmouth County or anywhere
  you may have realized a lot of the medication
  given is just about pain management, they do not
  offer a cure. In some situations, a trained
  chiropractor can make corrections that return
  proper balance in your muscles, lifting off the
  pressure from the nerve that is causing the pain.
  A good chiropractor will focus on not just spinal
  adjustment but also on the muscles too. With a
  couple of weeks, you should see improvement in
  the pain and in your movement.

• The best results can be seen when you combine
  chiropractic care with physical therapy that is
  properly applied. Physical therapy is only worth
  doing if you are going to do it right. You should
  also take home exercises that will help correct
  the problem and make sure you do them as
  directed. Another alternative treatment for
  sciatica pain management is acupuncture.
