Sciatica is often caused by vertebrae or a bulging disc in the spine putting pressure on the sciatic nerves. This is usually caused by the spine being out of alignment, or a vertebral disc getting pushed out of position. We can help restore your alignment and stop the pain with chiropractic care at our Oaklawn clinic.
Daily life puts a strain on the spine and causes it to deviate from the norm. That is, the spine falls out of alignment and the vertebrae puts pressure on the spine. Another cause is a bulging disc that's pushing the vertebra out of its alignment and compressing the sciatic nerve. In either situation, the vertebra is pushing down on the sciatic nerve as it exits the spine. Usually, the vertebra is on an angle and only presses on one side of the nerve. The pain often feels like it's located in one leg or hip as a result.
Chiropractic care involves manipulating the spine so it falls back into a straight and level alignment. The chiropractor assesses the cause of the pain via X-rays and a visual examination before starting a procedure. He then determines which technique is best and performs the manipulations on the patient.
The techniques the chiropractor uses are designed to bring the spine back into alignment. The goal is to release the nerve from compression by the vertebrae or a bulging disc. If the source of the pain is a bulging disc, treatment focuses on giving the disc enough room to return to its original location. Another benefit is the fact the supporting muscles and tendons can function in a balanced manner and help keep the spine straight instead of working unequally.
