Over the years our Medford chiropractor has helped many sciatica sufferers. Sciatica is a condition described as a pain, numbness, or tingling along the path of sciatic nerve running from lower back to lower leg. Sciatica is usually caused by a physical pressure to sciatica nerve from a herniated disc, a bone spur, or spinal canal or spinal nerve foramina stenosis (i.e. narrowing). The pressure could also come from a muscle such as piriformis muscle which is in close proximity to sciatic nerve in the buttock area. Occasionally poor posture, pregnancy, or even medications are the culprit of sciatica.
At Riverside Chiropractic Wellness center we have helped many of our patients in Medford and surrounding communities to live pain free. Our approach is simple, we find the cause and use appropriate technique to fix the problem. One of our affective techniques for sciatica pain relief is flexion-distraction technique, which relieves the pressure on the sciatic nerve. If the cause is a muscular pressure, myofascial release technique, stretches, and exercises are used to reduce the muscular spasm and tightness. We might also apply ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation for our treatment. Our patient are also educated on how to reduce inflammation of the sciatic nerve by using natural supplement and herbs.
