Sciatica Relief at Connect Spinal Health
Sciatica is a painful condition that typically stems from severe irritation in the lower back joints, often due to disc irritation or inflammation. This irritation can lead to referred pain that radiates down into the leg, sometimes all the way to the foot. The pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, shooting pain, making it difficult to perform daily activities. Sciatica is not just a local issue in the lower back; it affects the entire nervous system and often requires a comprehensive treatment approach.
In most cases of sciatica, we don’t just focus on the lower back where the pain originates. We also assess and treat the neck, as the spine is an interconnected system. Dysfunction in one area, such as the neck, can create compensation patterns throughout the body, which may exacerbate or even contribute to the development of sciatica. By treating both the lower back and the neck, we can address the root causes of the issue and help restore proper function to your spine, leading to more lasting relief.
In addition to in-office treatment, we’ll provide you with specific home exercises and soft tissue advice that is tailored to your individual needs. This may include instructions on how to perform self-massage to relieve tension in certain areas and exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting your lower back. These at-home techniques will complement your chiropractic care and help accelerate your recovery, ensuring you get the most out of your treatment plan.
