Sciatica
Dealing With Shooting Leg Pain? You’re Not Alone
Sciatica affects millions of individuals each year in the United States alone. Some common symptoms associated are pain, tingling, and numbness of the spine. It can be a debilitating condition that disrupts your day-to-day activities. People oftentimes are not able to catch the symptoms of this condition until it is too late. This is when it snowballs into bigger problems that can create costly medical bills for you.
Fortunately, there are chiropractic methods that can help you improve and thrive.
Causes of Sciatica
There are dozens of causes of this common condition and sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint what exactly caused it for you. However, most conditions come down to imbalance and poor posture. Common culprits include:
- Muscle spasms that happen after the body don’t receive proper rest after exercise.
- Obesity causes joint pain which can lead to sciatica.
- Urinary tract infections or kidney stones
- Stress has been known to induce sciatica in individuals
- Lifting heavy objects improperly can cause sciatica in individuals if they aren’t careful.
How a Chiropractor Can Help
Since sciatica is caused by nerve compression, chiropractic care can help alleviate that specific type of pain. Chiropractic treatment focuses on adjusting the spine and restoring it to normal for optimal health benefits. With enough treatments and adjustments, your pain will become a thing of the past as your spine’s health steadily improves over time. Inflammation is also another cause of sciatica. Fortunately, chiropractic care can help reduce inflammation which would prevent the condition from happening or alleviate the symptoms altogether.
